we just purchased ufc 132 on ppv. i expect some good fights. one thing concerns me is the silva/leben fight. leben keeps saying he is fighting his hero. if i see a hug from leben i know i will lose. flashbacks of barry/ crocop.

@wolfman, I'm sure if we see Leben try to give a hug to Wand then their will be a KO a second later

I have to say, I think I'm most looking forward to Kim vs Condit. Might not be the most action packed fight, but I think it's the most interesting to see how it will unfold.

@geezhound, if that happens I'll permanently change my profile picture to whatever you want.


Also, Is Cruz on the poster for this event?

I can't help but think Silva vs Leben is gonna be KO/fight of the night!! Guaranteed one of those awards at least.

40 minutes and counting...

I have a feeling this will be the best card of the year...

Top to bottom it is stacked..

This card has everything from hungry newcomers, 0-0 in the octagon, fighting each other!, to fading legends
looking to stay relevant.

Here are my picks for the main card

Faber vs Cruz.
Uriah is going to get tagged early, and often.
His theory that Cruz has pillow hands will definitely be tested.
But non the less Faber will persevere and beat a visibly tired Cruz via sub in the fourth.

Wanderelei Silva vs Chris Leben

This fight on paper looks delectable. Here we have two guys who are very similar, both in style and
career aspiration.
Both want a shot at the belt and both are in the mix, but a lose would be very detrimental to their goals.
As history shows fights like that tend to be boring. But not this one, this goes down like Wand vs Chuck,
A fight worth the hiype.
I tossed and turned for a week trying to make a pick.
I changed my mind numerous times and ended at a road block...So when in doubt "War Wand" Via late second
round stoppage.
Knock out of the night.


Tito Ortiz vs Ryan Bader

Tito's last stand?
Well that all depends on which Tito shows up.
Because believe me, this is a fight that Tito can win.
He looked really good at the weigh in's, and intense as **** at the press conference.
I have never ever picked ortiz before, but tonight I do.
Tito, via Fight of the night deserving UD or 3rd rd stopage.

Condit vs kim
Hahahahah this fight reeks of awesomeness..
I like condit

Don't question my motives, thiagosilva.  I'm very powerful around here.  You know how R2D2 could plug into any socket on the Death Star, download schematics, open doors, and turn off trash compacters? That pales in comparison to the capabilities I have on Tapology.
