I had Silva picked...but I did NOT see it coming from a front kick. Looks like Vitor didn't see it coming either

[slick rick]

Silva is too damn good and is so versatile.. crazy. I was hoping for Vitor.. he seemed to be reacting well and was game, just when the fight picked up.. whammo, heel to the chin, incredible

This could set up Silva/GSP is GSP gets by Shields....... What a fight that would be.........

Hopefully George doesn't look past Shields.Everbody else is...

[rob66679]

Hopefully George doesn't look past Shields.Everbody else is...

I hope he doesn't too... that fight would be epic.... I think he learned his lesson after the first Serra fight though.

Hopefully George doesn't look past Shields.Everbody else is...

Yup... a lot of people forget that Shields beat Dan Henderson not too long ago...controlled him for almost the whole fight.

I'm surprised Brock is rated so high. In fact, I'm surprised most of the UFC heavy weights are as high as they are.

Fedor #7 is a joke.Let's see if he can beat Henderson.
