Maia via pulling half guard from a stuffed TD. Rolling into a kneebar to hell hook. Or Anderson via TKO round 1...:-(
Whats the chances of Wanderlei getting a shot at Anderson?? Im still scratching about maia getting a shot at Anderson.Mismatch of epic proportions.
Silva UD Penn UD Matt Hughes UD Rafael dos Anjos TKO2 Kendall Grove TKO2 I hate to predict a Hughes win over Renzo - but I don't think Renzo will be able to match Matt physically. His conditioning hasn't been great in recent years and he has been inactive for too long.
I think the Silva/Maia fight was a major mistake. I predict that Maia will fight a cautious fight and Silva won't be able to take him out. Of course if Maia can put Silva on his back - he could very well win.
I'm worried that it could be boring as well. Hopefully Maia comes out like he did against Marquardt and gets sparked. In fact that's what I've based my prediction on. I think Maia could stay standing for a bit too long at the beginning.
