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.

Well that is more of a draw to me than the first fight, I hope Wolverine gets it though...

Wow, I changed my pick from Texeira to Viana in the last 20 minutes and I was afraid it was going to be a mistake. But the Wolverine managed to pull it off.

Edit: I had him winning too.

If Pe de Chumbo gets out of the first round he will win this fight.  Massaranduba will go Balls Out for the first round trying to kill his opponent and himself, he forgets there are 3 rounds to a fight.

His Fight with Bodao in the house was one of the most memorable rounds in TUF history.

Don't feel bad about it cal1.

That fight was close and could have gone either way if you ask me.

I had to go with Heleno due to experience. He's fought alot of guys and I've always enjoyed watching him.

With that said, I hope he keeps his chin tucked in this fight.
