Prediction: correct Silva   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 2  

His coaches say he's motivated
http://www.tatame.com/2011/06/13/Coaches-say-Anderson-Silva-is-motivated-to-fight-Okami-at-UFC-Rio

And the fight is in Brazil, I doubt Anderson dances in front of his home crowd.

Prediction: correct Silva   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

@mino i hope you are right but remember he was "motivated" after he fought cote going in to the thales fight.  He was "motivated" for maia.  He was "motivated" for sonnen and pulled a great sub but he was losing that fight a lot.

Prediction: correct Silva   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 2  

A few things on that

First, I enjoyed the Cote fight, I'm not sure why it gets so much hate. He felt him out a lot, but they had some pretty good exchanges.

Second, yeah, idk about the Maia and Leites ****

Third, against Sonnen, he came out to fight. He usually has the 2 or 3 minutes feeling out period, but he just ran right out and tagged him right away. I think the broken rib did affect him, and he wanted that submission because Sonnen disrespected the Nogueira's, so he was almost pulling guard, and baiting Sonnen into being comfortable.

Fourth, I think Dana had a tough talk with him after the Maia fight, and he's got to know he can't do that **** again

That's what I think atleast.

I liked the cote fight also.  I was saying that AFTER the cote fight he was motivated and then thales leites dancathon happened.  The sonnen fight might be understandable in that regard but he was so close to losing a UD in that one.

Oh ok, my bad, sorry. I misread your post. I think the whole Maia thing was his way of disrespecting Maia (although I don't see how knocking him out wouldn't have gotten the message across), I think he did it because Maia wanted to fight him even though they trained together.

Okami is going to be the new UFC champion of the world. I know this is going to come with some skepticism.

Prediction: correct Silva   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 2  

I think Okami has a very solid chance in this fight. He was getting outclassed in his fight with Silva before he won, but I think he's improved. His submission defense is very good, and obviously his wrestling is pretty strong, so he could be a threat. I think Silva knocks him out at some point though.

This thread leads me to believe that 5% of Tapology are either doing some serious award hunting (title challenger award, moderate underdog award) or in serious denial.

I think Okami will win by upkick KO! Similar to this one:

These type of odds warrant a bet on Okami. But come on, the spider has this.

If Okami was +1000, I still wouldn't touch that bet with a 10 foot pole. You may as well set your money on fire.

No matter which way the fight plays out or where it goes, I'm going to pick Anderson Silva to win by KO.
