Nothing makes me feel better than picking on people, especially dedicated contributors, for making a harmless mistake on the name of the 618th most important MMA fighter.

I see alot of Blood coming our way. i say The Reem uses some kind of kick to put bigfoot on the ground and then just a relentless amount of punches. always take the fighter who has the incentive. Reem gets Cain when he wins.

I did not pick Silva but I was rooting for him and am very happy he won. I did not think he would win, but glad he did. Overeem is a cheater and came off like an *******. I was very happy for bigfoot after all the crap Overeem talked. Much props to him.

Prediction: wrong Overeem   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

I am elated that Bigfoot was able to pull off the upset.  But now the Velasquez vs. Overeem super-fight is now off, at least for now.

Overeem was so supremely arrogant, staying in the pocket and not respecting Bigfoot's power.  I screamed in animal joy when he got his ass knocked out, even if the potential super-fight got derailed for a while.

I think Bigfoot will get beaten by Cain.  I still look forward to Cain vs. Overeem. Think Cain will beat him.

Fights like this make me really happy to be an MMA fan because, it just proves that anyone can beat anyone. Also for the record unlike most people I KNEW Bigfoot could beat Overeem and I picked him.

As sad as I was to see Overeem lose, I'm happy for Silva. Not a Bigfoot fan by any means, but whenever a fighter that people counted out (Sorry Bigfoot, that was me) wins in dramatic fashion, its great for the sport. Bravo.

I said two days ago in this very thread Bigfoot was being grossly underlooked and I said shortly before the fights in this very thread that I wasnt confident in my Overeem pick .. Congrats Bigfoot, huge win, you deserved it.

well, my prediction was slightly off, but, imo, you can never discount a huge strong dude like Bigfoot.

@Mike. I remember those posts. I've seen enough MMA to know never to count out a fighter, especially one of UFC caliber (although I though Overeem would coast to victory). Silva's been on a tear. Out to prove he belongs. One of my favorite moments of 156 was Silva yelling something at Overeem (I assume, "shouldn't have counted me out") then consoling him afterwards.

Classy.

I knew Silva had it in him. I was tempted to change my prediction but i went with the likely hood. I knew Alistair wasn't gonna finish thats for sure.

Good for Bigfoot. Reem was way too ****y here. I started laughing my ass off when Bigfoot ko'd him because of all the **** Overeem talked leading up to this, and then gets knocked the hell out.
