Silva, TKO late. Even with takedowns, Henderson won't pass Silva's guard easily enough to capitalize, and his reliance on his beard to carry him through standing exchanges will get him touched often.

Considering MacDonald has ZERO stand-up and Doerksen's takedown defense looked much improved agaisnt Filho, I'd say Joe is a live 'dog in this fight.

From what I've seen, the majority of people attending large-scale MMA events tend to be casual fans, who are mainly there to see the handful of big name fighters competing.

I've yet to hear anyone say that Werdum looked at all impressive over Gonzaga, as much as Napao ended up looking like shit. I fail to see what hype there would be. "Minotauro/Werdum II: Unneccessary Rematch XXIV"

Hironaka KO'ing Goulet is going to be hilarious.

Sure. You could even have a long term growth angle, starting out with him competing at the Music City Grappling Championsips, then NAGA, etc. Kissing ugly babies and shaking dirty hands the whole time.

Of all the people to use BJJ based submission moves, they have an undead guy who otherwises chokeslams guys? I'm not sure how I ever understood pro wrestling logic.

With any luck, Brock could be the next Sylvester Terkay.

...have you seen many Eastman or Cote fights?

I love Rogan saying that Burkman's strength is comparable to Okami's.

If Omigawa could be matched up with guys closer to his experience level, he could evolve into a a damn good fighter.

Forrest deserving the Tito match is going to be one of the enduring myths of the new generation of MMA fans.

Pellegrino will enjoy a long career of losing No.1 contender matches that extend past the first round.

After my desire to wear my Tapout shirts evaporated, I thought I'd be relatively safe with a Team Fokai shirt. So of course, cue Dana wearing one on every other episode of TUF.

For what it's worth, most of those brands are favored by the type of asshole tough-guys I've mentioned before.

Kongo at least looks decent in victory. Aside from totally exposing Aleksander, Werdum's biggest wins have come with first round performances that make Gono look like the Tazmanian Devil.

With Jason Miller's fall from grace, Werdum is now the proud standard bearer of the Homer Simpson style of fighting.

If I'm going to watch a bar fight, I at least want a decent chance of a stabbing.

I can't wait to see a Brandon Lee Hinkle win the EliteXC HW title.

Penn has has KO'ed Thomas & Uno, roughed up Hughes & GSP and smashed Gomi's jaw 2 inches to the left. Stevenson's stand-up achievements pretty much begins and ends with dropping Guillard. While it isn't given that BJ will wreck Joe's shit standing, that's easily the most likely scenario if Joe can't take Penn down.

Dude just nearly got KO'ed by Georgiff. Scale it back a bit.

Leave it to a tool like Clementi to try both a full nelson and a sloppy knee buckler in the same round. EDIT: And for Guillard to do fuck all in capitalizing on both.

The most amazing thing about that fight is that Melvin still has no clue how to pull guard when getting double legged.

Takaya likely batters Garcia around in a fashion similar to Huerta, and Torres against a legit Top 10 fighter is arguably the best thing about this card.

Epsom salt will be your best friend.
