Decided to make this the UFC 147 discussion thread anyway, might as well.


The original intention though was to talk about the 2000th fight in UFC history, scheduled to be between Yuri Alcantara and Hacran Dias. What a milestone, the sport's come pretty far.

Most of these are just blind picks, I didn't watch much of TUF Brazil.  I think this could be a great card, it just doesn't have the pull of big names.

I have completely 180'ed my opinion on this card after watching the weigh-ins. These guys are hungry and ready to fight 100%. I watched TUF Brasil every Monday morning and got to know the fighters, this will be a scrappy card. Plus it's Wanderlei!

What happens when Frankling hops on an Elevator with Wand and his fight team after the weigh-ins???

Never in a million years would I have ever thought that Rich Franklin would be the guy to Shelve both Chuck and Wand, but if he demolishes Wand tonight that is a very real possibility.


Hoping it doesn't happen, but makes an interesting footnote for Franklin's career.

OldNick, yeah those guys are a bunch of goofs.  Good to see that they all were having fun with it.  Took Rich a minute to see Wand, lol.
