Never seen Bisping this pissed off before a fight. Rivera didn't have much to say then either.

I had a dream that Bisping was winning the fight technically...it was towards the end of the round and he starting getting wreckless and as he backed away from Rivera in the remaining seconds he got hit with a big shot that Knocked him the F*** out....hopefully this was a premonition. *crosses fingers*
I am a big Rivera fan. Win or lose the guy is entertaining. Why I was having a dream of UFC fighters? I have no clue.

I'm actually looking forward to the show & expecting to see Fitch dominating BJ & Jorge KOing Bisping

I hope Bisping wins, that South Park parody was funny, but I just don't like Rivera.
Also I find it funny that Rivera doesn't say anything with Bisping right in his face.

I wonder why Rivera was so quiet at the weigh-ins as well. Perhaps he's hoping Bisping truly believes he's scared, and runs in too confident on the feet. I dunno, I just think Bisping will get an easy win here, and I don't think it will be by decision.
Fitch/BJ I can't get hyped for. No matter how hard I try, I simply can't shake the idea of Fitch winning in typical Fitch fashion. Though I did read something on another site that I thought was funny,
"Fitch is going to win against Penn. However, maybe this is just because I'm a huge, delusional Penn hater, but I'm going to say that Fitch ends up--wait for it--submitting Penn. The entire audience will be screaming, Dana White will be crying, and Joe Rogan will bring up that it 'would have never happened to a motivated BJ Penn.' "
I don't see that happening, but I do expect a very long, frustrating night for Penn. I'd love to be proven wrong though.

Watched the Countdown show last night, am so pumped for Sunday, and am sticking by my three top picks - Penn over Fitch (by submission), Bisping over Rivera (TKO) and Sotiropoulos over Siver (submission)

UFC 127 hasn't been promoted very well, I've got no hype for any of the fights.
Slight interest in the tension with the Bisping fight though.

Am I the only one that sees Siver giving George some real problems?

I'm sure he'll clip him, but George will get the takedown and get the submission soon after.

Well, as Dennis said with this last fight, he's really been working on his ground game and submissions both before and after his fight.
Let's just hope George has been working on avoiding the spinning back kick. Not saying anything that anyone doesn't already know, but landed correctly, it could end the fight just like that.

George is on another level on the ground. He was able to easily handle Jiu-Jitsu black belts Joe Stevenson and Kurt Pellegrino on the ground easily.

I'm surprised Bisping and Rivera didn't go right at it during the weigh-ins, that was pretty intense. I'm very pumped for this card, it should be an awesome event.

Watched the Countdown show last night, am so pumped for Sunday, and am sticking by my three top picks - Penn over Fitch (by submission), Bisping over Rivera (TKO) and Sotiropoulos over Siver (submission) I would love those results. I thought the countdown show was very biased towards Rivera... and they didn't mention BJ bringing in Matt Hughes to train with(?). Fitch/Penn is a fascinating fight though... I really want BJ to win - if he could submit or stop Fitch, that would be awesome.  |
