beneathbelow Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 If your a fan of MMA or martial-arts in general. Fight predictions for this weekend- UFC 134 Champ Anderson Silva vs. Yushin Okami Forrest Griffin vs. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Brendan Schaub my predictions: Silva def Okami- by submission Shogun def Griffin, by submission Nogueria def Shaub by Submission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xadamhudsonx Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I think you're predictions are pretty spot on... but I think Silva may take it with a knock out or stoppage instead of submission. I think Rua will take Griffin, but I'm rooting for Griffin. I'm a big fan of his. I like to see him get the upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlynwoodx Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Excited for this show. Hope the hurricane doesn't ruin the night. Rooting for Schaub. I read somewhere that Nog doesn't want to train with gay fighters. Chael Sonnen is supposed to be in Okami's corner, I want to see a shoving match outside the cage between him & Seagal or something.

Santa Bateman Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Silva via TKO round 3 but I'm rooting for Okami Shogun via UD (for some reason I can see Griffin winning again) Shaub via KO (Big Nog will probably UD or Sub him but) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dethrock Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I used to be really, really into MMA but now with everyone always getting injured and all the replacements, I've had a harder time following it. I went to Dream 6 in Japan and saw Bas Rutten in the airport. He took a picture with my friend and I and talked to us for quite awhile. Such a cool guy!

I had no idea Schaub was gay, thats news to me. sonnen will not be at the event, he has been getting death threats because of some of his remarks towards some Brazillian fighters. and one of the huge sponsors of the match said they would pull their support if he shows up. you can read about this on, www.mmajunkie.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clydeftones Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I would love to see Big Nog get a win in Brazil (his first fight there, incredibly) but dude is gonna go to sleep. Anyway, prelims are on facebook now and Yves Jabouine has never looked better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasj182 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I wanna see Silva lose! I think Okami has the skills to beat him, sadly Silva is a fucking beast! Big Nog is gonna get rocked by Shaub, and we all know that Rua always comes back after a big loss. I like Griffin but I don't think his mind is in the right place to win fights anymore. I hope I'm wrong but I feel like he's gonna go the Stephan Boner route starting with this fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see if he shows up considering ALL of Brazil wants his head haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clydeftones Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 someone please put those words on a plate for me, I'll happily eat them up, big Nog looked like a statue but still put hands on Shaub's chin. Great moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clydeftones Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Anderson Silva just did what Anderson Silva does. Stalks you for the first round, then starts dropping people with MOTHERFUCKING JABS in the second. Then, the second time you've been knocked down by a MOTHERFUCKING JAB, he figures out where he wants to punch you in the face on the ground. Dude is a G. His head movement is beyond everything.

Santa Bateman Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Silva won by toying with Okami in the 2nd basically. Shogun won with hammer fists galore. Nog won via TKO or was that KO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clydeftones Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Rua's hands have powers bestowed by witches. Dude hits you with the most ugly shots anywhere on the head and you go down, then its hammerfists with bad intentions and tiny white shorts are dancing while the medic comes over.

thomasj182 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Silva is just amazing! It doesn't look like he hits with anything behind it but his strikes are so fucking fucking precise! What a natural predator! He has literally cleaned out the MD! Hendo vs Silva or Sonnen vs Silva is next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 silva must have some sort of hypnotizing glare during his fights. he puts his hands at his waist, and dudes are still terrified to even try throwing a punch. i dont think theres a more entertaining athlete in the world.

Japes Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 They're afraid to throw punches at him because they know he'll just move his head and they'll get hit by a knee they can't see until later when they watch the replays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really upsets me when Silva, stops drops his hands and just looks at the other guy, I think its being cocky and disrespectful. just like when he fought in abu dhabi, just danced around and didnt do much. I have never liked him for that reason, I want to see him get knocked out, and beaten senseless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clydeftones Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Anderson is the king of mental warfare. He lets the opponent control the first act of the fight and then once he has your timing figured out he picks you apart. He is so far ahead of the rest of the division that he KOs the best it can offer with jabs and front kicks. It must be completely disheartening to be a professionally trained fighter at the top of your sport and be unable to punch the man with his hands down directly in front of you. If Anderson figures out how to do that to you, you have already lost. Suddenly you're on your ass because of a shot you didnt see coming. When great fighters are so far ahead of their peers that they can drop their hands and simply school you with head movement, they are once a generation. This is Ali shit. This is Roy Jones in his prime. The best fighter in MMA history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
