Prediction: Rua | Decision

Going with Rua for the decision for now, tough fight to pick really

Ah I forgot about that but I still stand by what I said, today it's just a matchup of a old washed up Ninja vs a drugged washed up Filho

I'm surprised the SFL didn't jump all over this ****box of a match up!

Both very talented fighters in their day.... Neither should be fighting any more.

I think Filho will KO him. Filho is a terrible striker, but he has some power, and Ninja should really be retired with that chin of his.

Prediction: Filho | Submission | Round 2

Ninja did retire after the fight with Watson, but he retired like most fighters...until someone puts enough money in front of them or the need for money

this is such a toss up fight for me. Filho was that guy that couldnt be beaten not that long ago and rua has never been the same since karitonov.

Weird fight. Filho is definitely the better fighter, but he's also gone completely crazy.

Though call. What Anik said is kinda my reasoning for picking Ninja as well! Although Ninja's last fights weren't all great either. I'm hoping he wins though ^^
