UFC 101: Declaration (August 8th)

Dunno if this has being posted but here is an in depth preview on it.

Is Kendall Grove still in danger of being released from his contract?

 

This card would be ALOT MORE ANTICIPATED if Penn never fought GSP. When else do you get 2 of the top 5 P4P fighters on the same card??? Two of the most exciting champions also.

Penn via TKO 2nd Round
Silva via KO 1st Round

They are both coming out this time to make things right, they both have something to prove.

 

I think the only interesting thing about this card is that two of the best p4p fighters in the sport should be back to their usual destructive selves. I expect both BJ and Anderson to stop their respective opponents although I suppose Kenny could last longer against BJ seeing as he is a skillful fighter.

The rest of the card is just meh. You've got a TUF winner who hasn't fought in a year against some randomer, a chinny wannabe against a boring BJJ fighter and then two guys who are usually confined to UFN or undercards.

 

Root away mate.... it wont mean **** once Penn & Silva prove why they are top 5 p4pers.

 

I dont know about more anticipated. I think it is more intriguing now just to see how Penn bounces back. Had this been pre GSP. This would have been declared a mismatch, now Penns aura took a hit against GSP and have balanced the playing field artificially for Florian.

I agree Silva by career ending beatdown

 

Good card. Finally we get to see someone who should force Silva to fight. Griffin isnt going to win if the fight stays on its feet but it should be fun for however long it lasts.

Penn if hes in shape and motivated is going to beat Florian...quite badly in my opinion. Florian is a good fighter i'm a pretty big fan of his. However, his 2 biggest wins were against Roger Huerta and Joe Stevenson. Stevenson is simply an average fighter who is nothing more than a gatekeeper. Florian beat him impressively though.

Penn is coming off fighting Sherk and GSP, while fighting Florian, Penn is going to think hes fighting a little child.

 

Florian ? Im hoping they both with but it is tough to go against Penn or Silva

 

Griffin is no slouch on the ground and is probably a lot stronger, in terms of physical strength, on the ground than Silva. I wouldn't be surprised if he could dominate on top, if he is able to get Silva down.

Also, does anyone think that Silva can lock a body triangle on Griffin or is Griffin too big?

 

I think Silva is capable of more than what we have seen so far. Every fight he has he seems to have an answer for everything. He's not unbeatable, but I was pretty surprised how he disposed of Hendo like he did and hasn't had any real problems with anyone he's fought in the UFC so far...

I wouldn't be surprised if he knocks Griffin out :think

 

griffin is about to get his ass handed to him
