Fabio remains one of my favorites. The guy is as true a warrior as you will ever see. People say they would die in the ring, this guy I believe actually would and doesn't even say it. Huge respect for this guy. UFC better not even think about cutting him EVER.
Oh well, I got all but one of my picks right. It was a risk, I took the chance on E. Silva and lost. Fitch looked better than he has in a while.
I don't think he's great, but he's looked a lot better in some past fights. Nog didn't impress me much either but I didn't expect him to looking flabby and out of shape.
Man, what a performance by Fitch. I know the dude takes a beating for being boring with his typical lay and pray. But he doesn't have an ounce of quit in him. Fitch doesn't have 50% of the natural talent of Silva but just simply out-manned him with shear endurance and will. I am a big fan of over achievers and guys that always hit the cage in top shape. Fitch is clearly one of those guys.
Fitch was far from boring yesterday, and to be hones, his past few performances have been pretty exciting. And that's coming from someone who's in no way a fan ( though if he continues this way, I may just become one )
This was a decent card and pretty entertaining. I liked the Fitch fight and Silva of course adds another crazy highlight to his reel. Give Silva an opening and that's what happens. The guy is amazing at what he does.
These were my picks. FWIW. Silva TKO Bonnar R2 Nogueira Decision Herman Teixiera TKO2 Maldonado Silva TKO2 Fitch Maia Decision Story
I guess so. I don't care though if people just want to use the honor system. I posted my pics, I did well, didn't quite get them all but that's always hard to do due to the nature of unpredictablity in the sport.
