Can not wait for this PPV.
Forgot that the main event is 5 rounds. It's definitely one of those fights that is bitter-sweet. Should be a great fight, but you don't want to see either guy lose. I'll probably be siding a little more towards Shogun though.
Definitely hope Wanderlei can pick up the win as well.

I love Shogun...but I really feel Henderson is going to outclass Rua in this one and will probably have his choice of either Jones or a rematch with Silva.
Wanderlei wins (I hope)
and Faber submits Bowles...

Can't wait for this - it's great we're finally getting Henderson Vs Shogun... it's amazing these guys have never crossed paths before, given their history in PRIDE and then the UFC. I'm going with Hendo by TKO around the 4th... it wouldn't surprise me if it went the full 5 rounds though.
I'd like to see Wanderlei, Faber and Bonner get wins too. It's a quality card - I'm kind of surprised they didn't put Torres on the Spike TV pre-lims...

I was super excited when I got the word that the people, like myself, in the Xbox Live new dashboard beta are getting UFC 139 for free. So awesome.

^ Yeah, it's definitely a hard one to pick in the main event. Both guys are tremendous fighters. I will say that I personally, am leaning towards Hendo. He'll probably win in the 3rd round. Probably by referee stoppage.

Stacked card is stacked! Knowing the fighters that we have on this event pretty much ensures we should have a lot of great action and outstanding finishes!
Mauricio Rua Vs Dan Henderson - Via First Round KO
Wanderlei Silva Vs Cung Le - Via First Round TKO
Urijah Faber Vs Brian Bowles - Via Unanimous Decision
Martin Kampmann Vs Rick Story - Via Unanimous Decision
Stephan Bonnar Vs Kyle Kingsbury - Via Second Round TKO
Shogun Vs Hendo will come down to who's chin is more weathered, and I truly believe it to be Hendo's. Hendo got rocked in his last two fights but his recovery saved him. If Rua gets him in a bad way it's over. Perhaps Dan will utilize his wrestling? But even then I see Shogun sweeping and getting the fight standing again.
Oh, Wand. This looks like his last chance here. I'm probably being foolishly optimistic, but ya know what? What the hell! I see Wand fighting more technical like he did against Bisping. He won't look to brawl, at least not early in the fight. I see him getting in his groove and really starting to press the action against Cung and getting the finish. But hopefully Wand won't be too tight and hesitant and winds up on the bad end of a highlight reel KO. Come on Wandy, you can do it!
Faber vs Bowles will no doubt be fight of the night. Lots of scrambles, technical exchanges and fast past action are to be had here. I wouldn't be surprised if Faber gets the sub, but I'm going to give Brian more credit than that. Faber gets the decision but at the cost of a real competitive, back and forth fight.

Can't wait for the Main Event, just put some money on Hendo for the only reason as he was the underdog. Really hoping Faber pulls out an awesome performance. As much as I hate to say it, and hope I'm wrong...Wand is done, his chin has left him.

After seeing the countdown show, I really don't know who I want in Faber/Bowles... I like both guys but I think I'm leaning towards Bowles - I think he needs it more... and Faber's a "name" fighter so will always be quite high-profile. And I'd like see Cruz Vs Bowles 2 as their first fight was pretty unsatisfactory...

castillo by decision, brown by sub, mig angel torres by decision, tibau by sub, weidman by dec
mcdonald by ko, bader by ko
bonnar by dec [fotn], kampmann by dec, faber by dec, wandy by ko, hendo by tko
hendo and shogun is gonna be a war, i expect a quick ko of cung le, and bonnar/kingsbury should be swinging for the fences all night as well.

Stacked card is stacked! Knowing the fighters that we have on this event pretty much ensures we should have a lot of great action and outstanding finishes! Mauricio Rua Vs Dan Henderson - Via First Round KO Wow, that's certainly a VERY bold prediction, to say the least. KO'ing Hendo in the first round?? I don't know about that. Hendo has NEVER been KO'd to my knowledge and you believe Shogun will be the first man to do so and in the first round no less?? That's a HUGE prediction.... All the power to ya and to Shogun, but I don't think it's possible. Certainly not that early in the fight. Not in the first round. Even though I personally, don't think it's possbile, that doesn't mean it isn't possible. What I think don't mean dick-squat. When those two legends step in there, all our questions and opinions will be answered. I'm still sticking with Hendo. I don't think his chin is weakend or weathered at all. This is his big return to the UFC and I don't believe it will end in a losing performance for him. He'll win this one. |
