Hunt Vs Struve//Velasquez Vs Mir//Big Country Vs Big Foot: UFC 146

I think Roy has a pretty solid punchers chance against Bigfoot. He has the tendency to get caught pretty frequently, and Roy has some big power in his hands. I wouldn't totally write him off in this fight.

 

Interesting fight because of the toughness, the big right hand and the grappling ability.

I wish Roy would lose weight and embrace his grappling again. His grappling his high level and no joke. His belly, stamina and love of the right hand is stopping him from excelling.

 

im so sick and tired of hearing about nelsons right hand................its ****, slow sloppy and soft

 

I dont think Mir will be wanting to stand with Cain... He'll embrace his BJJ.

 

I don't see him having much of a choice.

 

I mean yea, I think Mir COULD stand and trade for a bit but with him being as smart about MMA as he is, Nahhh...BJJ all the way.

 

Exactly. Nelson is a tough, experienced mma striker that know how to land his overhand right on a taller fighter.

 

i dont think he will land effectively enough against big foot even though he is there for the taking

 

His chin hasnt exactly looked solid i must agree , sometimes being injured can be a blessing , dos Santos would of known he would of needed to land something big , early !! , he was waiting for his chance , where if he had his full range of movement he may of fought a little differently , dos Santos does use his agility and movement as one of his main weapons , he had no reason not to stand in front of Velasquez as he isnt known for 1 punch power , and his kicks usually consist of body and leg attacks , nothing thats gonna end a fight there and then

Velasquez has all the attributes to be one of the best HW's of all time IMO

Mir is good at what he's good at , anything outside of Frank's comfort zone and he's cooked , Velasquez will demolish him :deal

 

Dude im a big fan of Velasquez but one must concede , the guy is chinny

 

His right hand has brought him the most success inside the UFC , where the level opponent isnt the IFL , Nelson is a black belt , but who the **** isnt @HW ??!!

Firstly , how , if your Roy Nelson , do you take Antonio Silva to the ground ?? , well ................ you dont do you !! , the guy will outweight Nelson on fight night by 30+ pounds , as Nelson cant wrestle !!

And secondly , he's looking for the OHR because of the above , Silva is better on the ground than Nelson and bigger , its a bad combo

Nelson has to look to KO him on the feet

 

Well, it looks like they are going with Werdum vs. Russow at UFC 147.
