This really should be a free (Fox/FX) show. Still, I'm looking forward to the Silva/Franklin rematch... it should be a good indication as to how much Wanderlei has left and how his chin holds up. Hopefully it'll be as good as the first fight.

It should, but I'm done complaining with all these injuries that are taking place. I'm just glad we'll see a sure-fire classic between these two. I just hope Wanderlei looks good.

If Russow beats Werdum, could that be considered the biggest upset of all-time?? I'd love to see him pull it out though!!
Here's a funny clip for those that haven't seen it. It's worth a watch:

If Russow beats Werdum, could that be considered the biggest upset of all-time?? Brown vs. Faber Gonzaga vs Cro Cop Jardine vs. Liddell Edgar vs. Penn Fedor vs. Werdum GSP vs. Serra I'll be honest I probably wouldn't even out it top 15 much less biggest of all time.

Wand's chin is becoming more and more suspect. Too much wear and tear. I either see Franklin KOing him early or grinding out a UD without taking much damage.

In fact, considering the fact that he was getting smashed the whole fight, his KO of Duffee would probably still be a bigger shock.

Looking forward to the rematch between Silva and Franklin, loved the first fight. Great news also that it's catchweight, like the first fight. I'm torn, but am leaning towards Franklin here.

Haven't been in here giving predictions in a while.
Anyway the main event, as that sadly is the only one that's really got my attention: Franklin. Knockout. Wanderlei in Brazil is huge. Huge. He's going to want to put on a show for his people even more than normal, which may hurt him. Eventually he'll get fired up, wade in/go for broke and Franklin will catch him on the jaw in a flurry.
Im interested to see how Wanderlei performs as the first fight was I believe his first time south of 205 and what part if any Rich's cage rust has.

so much for the pepey revolution so far... he pulled guard twice and did nothing with it.
