Prediction: correct Rua   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

This could be a fight where Shogun can show of his underrated BJJ but ultimately it's either Anderson by snoozefest or Shogun by brutal KO. I'll go with the latter, I don't think Corey is quite on Shogun's level yet.

Tom lawler was able to hit Cory so I'll go Rua by KO.

Prediction: wrong Anderson   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

Corey Anderson wins this fight simply due to how bad Shogun is now. I'll be happy to take the dog perf or semi when Anderson KOs him.

Prediction: correct Rua   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

For the record, I'm not saying that's a bad thing; I actually think this is a cool card. It's not a blockbuster from a PPV perspective, but it's nice to have a deep card with a ton of big names rather than the top 1 or 2 fights being ultra compelling and the undercard being dog ****.

I thought it was Rua vs Anderson...Silva, kind of disappointed, kind of glad because Anderson should fight Mousasi, Anderson don't duck Mousasi bro.

Prediction: correct Rua   correct Decision  

Glover will have knocked him so bad in front of his own crowd... They probably realise it and remove him from the card!

Its sad but even with that, it still the best show on paper since the begining of the years and until ufc 200

Both fighters have degraded chins. Anderson is still better everywhere. UFC is building Anderson up slowly but I don't trust his chin to put money on him

Thinking Anderson grinds out a win but going with the heart on this one!

No one just holds Shogun down, at least it hasn't happened yet.

Shoguns way out of his time. Anderson is entering his. Very similar ending to Shogun-Saint Pruex.
