I think Vitor is more of a Rich Franklin type of fighter with a much better BJJ game. I'm afraid Silva's reign as champion will continue after this fight. It's going to be a Shields, Sonnen, GSP type guy that beats him. Hughes might even make an interesting fight.

Yup. Vitor is going to stand and that's Silva's bread and butter. It will be another great wrestler that puts an end to Silva.

I love Matt and I thought he'd lost a step until Saturday, man he looked lean. Maybe he's getting his second wind.

As long as he stay away from GSP he will be okay for a bit longer. I would like to see him and Fitch go at it, but Fitch is going to face GSP next.

Any thoughts on Penn Edgar 2?

He said himself he was going to take some time off so it will be at least 8-10 months before Hughes fights again.

Penn will be motivated to regain his title. I predict Penn by knockout.

I really like Penn, but I think Edgar is just too damn fast and has an amazing Clay Guida type pace that will wear BJ down. Penn might be better off moving up to 170 or even 185 at this point in his career.

He said he would take the fall off and do some hunting, but his return would probably be about the same time as Fitch/GSP. Maybe Hughes/Koschek?

I don't think Edgar saw the best BJ Penn the first time around. I guess we'll find out.

That would be interesting, I would hope for Matt to smash Kos but I wouldn't bank on it.

Maybe not, but I don't know if BJ ever say a guy with that type of movement and speed in the octagon before. I'm not sure who I will root for, but I know who I would bet on.

vitors hands are quicker and he hits MUCH harder than rich.


i wouldnt put money on it but i'm thinking(hoping) that vitor KOs him BADLY

JDS to me didn't look impressive at all against Nelson. He won the fight, but it wasn't pretty by all means. Nelson's just a tough sum bitch.

Should Lesnar defeat Velasquez in Oct, he's going to destroy JDS. As CV would also as well. Then should set up a re-match w/ Carwin sometime mid-late 2011. Or I guess it would also depend on what happens w/ the Mir/Nog fight, which I would love to see Nog pretty much end Mir's dream of a HW title shot. I doubt that happens though.
