Predictions: 7 of 11 Winners, 2 Perfect, 425 Points   |   Tied for 121st

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.

So many guys know they've lost two rounds and they really have to take it to their opponents in the third, but really so few do with most being comfortable with playing it safe even though they're losing. And yet those that dare to crank it up, often win - like Boetsch or Vinicius here.

"If the enemy rejects the ground, I would take him down by tackle. Why didn’t he [Royler] do so? May I introduce him to a good coach? His tackle was... like a girl’s one... Mr. Royler, how are you feeling?" - Kazushi Sakuraba

That song they are using on the promo for Franklin vs. Silva is driving me nuts.

I am enjoying that Franklin-QUarry highlight more every time I see it.

Ok fellas it's been nice, unfortunately I have to watch the FX fights tape delayed and the ppv card at a bar so I won't be here. Enjoy the card, and good luck to all (except to those who picked the people I didn't pick, in which case, bad luck. :)
