UFC 101: Declaration (August 8th)

BJ Penn, Florian, Griffin and Silva on the same card is very nice. Those two fight could be great.
BJ Penn is never in borring fight, and neither Griffin.

 

I hope Florian wins. Prolly won't but I'll be rooting for him. He's a cool cat.

 

I'm looking forward to Penn and Florian. Penn seems to be too good for Florian, almost like a GSP is to Fitch kind of thing. There is always a chance, though Penn's stamina is normally better at 155, that BJ runs out of steam. If Penn tires after 2 rounds, Florian could pour it on to outhustle Penn for the decision.

 

Im rooting for Forrest and Florian....

It looks to be a shitty night for me

 

I just can't see anyway Griffin can beat Silva. Even though Griffin's durable as hell- it always seems that Silva has an answer for everything...:think

 

Not only is there little chance for Griffin to defeat Silva, there is little chance that it will even be competitive in my mind. Griffin will persue hard enough, and Griffin is slow enough, to have slaughter written all over this one. I believe this will be an ugly fight that maybe shouldn't even have been made. I don't know what Forrest did to deserve this.

 

I agree, He's doesn't have KO power and he is aggresive, which plays into Silvas hands. Without power Silva will be able to pin point punches at will, always knowing he can take Griffins best shots.

On the ground I believe Silva to be superior. But feel it will be a standup fight.

 

I think you have it backwards dude. Griffins ONLY chance is to take Silva down and keep him on his back and hope to what ever god he worships that Silva doesn't submit him. Standing? Silva would pick Griffin apart and KO him brutally. Silva's standup is far too sophisticated and multi dimensional for Griffin to last very long at all. Griffin is too slow also. Griffin is big and strong enough to control Silva on the ground though...MAYBE!!

 

I meant it in the way, he won't be backing off from Silva, its just not him, he comes to fight. But Silva won't be thinking 'he can KO me' like he was against Cote.

 

Not too interesting to me.


Kinda curious about Griffin/ Silva. Might pick Griffin.

 

im rooting for the same as you,but i will go out on a limb and say that one of our picks that we are rooting for will pull off the upset.....i just got that gut feeling
