I play a featherweight of course using Frazier would be like stealing candy from a baby.

[TheBlackMamba]

well I usually play middleweight and higher, that's not true, I whooped Frazier in FNR3 with lower class people cus his chin sucks in that game

[kevstah2004]

I know a quick flurry and he's done when you try returning fire the game lags like crazy too for about 2-4 seconds your ok if you just dodge everything and counter with the left hook though.
I normally play as Hatton.

[TheBlackMamba]

yea, thing is about Frazier if he fights Ali in FNR 3 is that ALi's jab will usually make him flinch which makes it hard to get on the inside

UFC 101 is fast approaching. Anderson Silva will be fighting Forest Griffin, and BJ Penn will defend his lightweight title against Kenny Florian. I love both Forest and Anderson, but I don't think Griffin will win this one. I hope he does, just so Silva will stay in the middleweight division, which we all know he dominates. Even so, I do think a Machida/Silva fight would be very interesting. BJ Penn has had a firm grip on the lightweight title but Kenny Florian is looking really good. I'm thinking Kenny *might* upset BJ Penn. Wow, hard card to call lol.

[TheBlackMamba]

if the fight between Florian and Penn goes all the way, there's a good chance that Florian will win cus Penn has stamina issues, as for Silva and Forrest, I don't know what to say, but I'm gonna stay safe and say Silva wins it

[The Dude]

Henderson will get the next title Shot at Middleweight it looks like, don't know how I feel about that to be honest, considering I reckon Demian Maia is probably the best prospect to take Anderson Silva out, decent striking and probably the best BJJ in the UFC.
Although frankly its a win win for the UFC if Henderson does win from a marketing point of view *as in an American winning the title, frankly anywhere else besides Japan he most probably has about as much marketing appeal as a corpse.*

Hoping for a Griffin win, just because the guy gives it 100% win or lose, while Silva will most likely counter fight his way through this one, also hoping for a Florian win against BJ, but I can see this one ending fast in BJ's favor.

Itttttt's TIME! I'm ordering the UFC 101 in less than 7 hours, let's go griffin!
Anyways
I pretty much agree with everything you said. I'm really going for the underdogs in this one, but it's going to be tough on both of them. I like Silva alot because he is so talented any way you slice it, but like you said Griffin puts his heart and soul into every fight and I'd love to see him win the belt. Also, just in case anyone is wondering, it seems that Fedor will in fact, not be going to the UFC (of course we already knew that lol). Just out of curiousty, what is everyone's top ten favorite fighters?
Mine

10. Michael Bisping
9. Rich Franklin
8. Anderson Silva
7. Keith Jardine
6. Fedor
5. Mirko Cro Cop
4. Clay Guida
3. Forest Griffin
2. GSP
1. Lyoto Machida

Griffin/Silva isn't for the belt.

[The Dude]

Correct, it doesn't change anything regardless of the Result, Silva gets his challenge he's been bitching about for ages, if he wins, nothing changes, if Griffin wins, it doesn't effect his standings in the Light Heavyweight division either, nor will it push him any closer to a title shot since Shogun has the next shot *which is a joke in itself considering his performances in the UFC his past couple of fights* and Rampage is booked up fighting Rashad Evans *Im assuming whoever wins that gets a shot at Machidas belt*

[REmaster]

Griffin/Silva isn't for the belt.

I know I'm saying that Griffin deserves an eventual shot at Machida's title but he has to get past Silva first, and I would love for Griffin to be one of the first people to beat him in a long time. Nevertheless, Machida is unstoppable because he's a samurai (Shogun will be PWNED) Like I said before, I think Silva is amazing but I would love for Griffin to suprise everyone. As for Kenny florian/BJ Penn, once again I'm rooting for the "underdog" but I think that Florian just might be able to be him. Tough card to call. As for Rampage/Rashad fight, I think Rashad will beat Rampage but he's screwed anyways because we all saw what Machida did last time. I loved how Rashad was talking shit while Machida was throwing punches saying "Is that all you got, you gonna have to hit me harder than tha-*knocked out* LMAO

[The Dude]

All round disappointed with the main card.
Griffin got rocked early, Silva played with him the rest of the fight it was borderline patronising *and adding to why I dislike Silva to begin with*, and BJ/Florian pretty much went the way I expected it to with BJ looking for a submission as he'd gas out as the fight progressed.

[REmaster]

Holy hell, I expected Silva to win as usual but I was suprised how quickly Forest went down. I felt so bad for him , and I've never seen a fighter run away like that. I know he was embarrassed as hell, but apparently his jaw was also dislocated so that might have had something to do with it. It pisses me off so bad because it seems like evertime I order a pay-per-view, the fighter I'm rooting for not only gets beaten, but loses by the most shameful ko of their career (it was Bisping last time ). Silva pissed me off so bad when he was pulling a wesker and matrix dodging all those punches lol. I also loved how when they called his name, everyone booed and he made a funny face like, what did I do to these people? It's not his fault he's so good I guess, although I'm really excited for him to fight Machida one day. If Lyoto can't beat him...jesus.

[The Dude]

Well, Silva's said he's never fighting Machida, they train together, and by all accounts from interviews in the pre fight program of the Machida/Evans fight, Silva claims Machida wipes the floor with him in all areas when training.
Admittedly training and the actual match are two different things, but I doubt 2 fighters from the same stable would want to fight each other in the first place.

Looks like in the post fight conference its pretty clear Dan "Personality like a Corpse" Henderson is getting the next title shot, which again got a pretty negative look and response from Silva as frankly he has beaten him before. *adding fuel to the fire that good fighters like Demian Maia and Yushin Okami are getting stepped over by less deserving but more marketable to American fighters like Hendo and Franklin etc*

[REmaster]

Yea I know their good friends, but it would be a shame if they never fought. Yea I wish they wouldn't have Hendo fight Silva again...*choke out* lol, although it would be interesting if Silva could knock him out. Silva's win streak will never end until they mix it up and give him some real fast, focused fighters instead of strong fighters that everyone knows.
