UFC confirms Henderson-Melendez and Cormier-Mir

Hendo big UD or stoppage, and Daniel Cormier will struggle. Call me crazy.

 

Plus Matt Brown vs Dan Hardy
Im so there!!

 

brown v hardy could be good

cormier is gonna bring mir to school

 

Just a year ago, it would have been really hard to get excited over Matt Brown.
He's come a long way. Good for him.

 

I like Brown and Hardy, too bad they will be hurting each other. Dan Hardy has got to jump on dat ass in order to be successful. I smell a WAR, and I think it may end in that opening round.

 

Agreed with everyone Hardy vs Brown should be a hell of a fight. Melendez-Hendo should be a great fight as well but I favor Hendo to take this. I think Hendo is going to be Champ for awhile I think he has a great size advantage over just about everyone at 155. I like the Cormier-Mir matchup to and like always you can NEVER count out Frank Mir with heavy hands and submissions like that. What I dont like is Cormier planning to go to 205 but fighting this Heavyweight bout. I would be bothered to see Jones fighting Vitor, Sonnen then Cormier all 3 are good fighters but none deserving of an automatic 205 title shot especially when you got Gustafson, Hendo-Machida winner, Teixera or even Anderson Silva out there.

 

Mir by upset

Barnett was landing a lot of good clean punches but Barnett has no punching power. Franklin does have punching power and will Ko Cormier if he lands like Barnett was landing.

 

Agreed. I liked him ever since I saw him on TUF. Just seems like a really honest, hardworking, blue-collar type of fighter. Really pleased about the year he had. I think he was the only guy in the UFC to go 4-0 last year?

I saw a fight he had awhile ago where he lost a decision and pretty much got robbed, he took the mic and basically said "I don't give a **** about a judges decision, I'm here for the fans and if you guys enjoyed the fight that's good enough for me."

:hat

 

Mir is definitely a good chance to spring an upset.

Don't see Melendez beating Bendo though. Not because Melendez isn't good, but because Henderson just looks more powerful and generally better every time we see him.

:hat

 

Can't wait for Gil and Henderson. I think Henderson takes a lopsided decision, but it will still be an exciting fight. Lots of scrambles.

Mir is going to get destroyed. He might retire after this fight. Wouldn't be surprised if he ends up with some serious injuries.

Brown vs Hardy will be a war.

 

Melendez UD, Henderson loves a war which will be his downfall. Mir will be taking Cormiers leg home.

 

E to the P to the I to the C.

 

You're crazy. Cormier will just light Mir up standing. Mir has NO way of getting Cormier to the ground. :deal

 

Haha, I think Cormier KO's Mir. Cormier's boxing might not be superb, but Mir was standing straight up and down, chin right out there vs. JDS.. Only chance Mir has is if Cormier goes to the ground with him, and I think Cormier has the advantage there as well.

I think that Milendez has a shot at controlling Hendo.. That's all I got to say about that..
