So this is a big one and thought it deserved it's own thread!

Middleweight Championship
Anderson Silva (c) vs. Yushin Okami

Light Heavyweight bout
Maurício Rua vs. Forrest Griffin

Heavyweight bout
Brendan Schaub vs. Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira

Lightweight bout
Ross Pearson vs. Edson Barboza

Light Heavyweight bout
Luiz Cane vs. Stanislav Nedkov​

Also

Paulo Thiago v David Mitchell
Raphael Assuncao v Johhny Eduardo
Erick Silva v Luis Ramos
Yuri Alcantara v Felipe Arantes
Yves Jabouin v Ian Loveland
Thiago Tavares v Spencer Fisher
Rousimar Palhares v Dan Miller​


My thoughts, I really want Griffin and Pearson to win as I like them both but it's going to be tough. Thinking about putting some money on them both as it turns the accumulator into 130/1 instead of 30/1 :D I also think Silva is going to get his revenge as he's just far superior than anyone else at the moment in his weight class anyway.

So yeah, should be a good one :)
 
Just to add, the customary copy and paste predictions :)

oh man I'm excited about this one!

Okami is very technical and very strong, I just think he's too orthadox and rigid to deal with the flair of Silva.
 
Yeah I cant wait for this fight also, proper excited for it, I think anderson silver is a great fighter, I'm a big fan of his and I'm hoping he wins but at the same time I'd love an amazing fight that goes 5 rounds, I dont want it to be easy or a walkover, I just hope both fighters are pretty even.

I want to see a war, rocky style! haha :D

Good, we defo need it on more channels over here, I honestly think the UFC need to do a massive campain over here and spend loads on advertising because everybody I know, all my friends and family dont watch MMA, they watch boxing, and most of them when I asked said they've never seen it on TV or Sky otherwise they would watch it...so obviously something needs to be done.

I know for a fact all the lads in this country would love MMA if they saw it and watched it a few times...they cant not get in to it, its fighting! lol :D

EDIT: I reckon as well that most people would love MMA over boxing...most boxing I see these days is boring in comparison.

Please be healthy Shogun!
I don't think Okami has a great chance against Silva but there is one.

Why do you think okami doesnt have a great chance? has he had any injuries? and how many fights has he won recently? Does anybody know?

EDIT: Also that triangle choke silver managed to pull off right at the end of a 25 minute fight when he'd basically been beaten on the ground for the whole fight, I just thought that was amazing, one of the greatest things I've ever seen in any fight, great comeback.
 
wow saw the weigh in videos and shogun looks a lot more healthy and less fat around the waist... only thing is he couldnt stare at forrest during the weigh ins !

And Forrest looked so much bigger and stronger, looks like forrest has turned into a bear... id say forrest has a good chance to win so should be a great fight indeed.
