What in the world? Sorry but this matchup sucks...Palhares should be getting a top 10 guy. Massenzio got submitted by Brian Stann. What the hell do they expect the destroyer of knees to do to him?

Palhares should get an easy sub over a guy like Massenzio.

Meh, don't really see the Palhares hype, he has big muscles, and good leg locks but he's been dropped by Dan Miller and was beat by the only two fighters he fought that were above average.

That said, this is a joke and a big step down from Dan Miller, Palhares by murder.

Totally random matchup.  Palhares should get a pretty routine win here.

Guys, I've figured it out. Joe Silva has Rousimar Palhares and Yoshihiro Akiyama mixed up. Palhares destroys top 20 middleweight Dan Miller? Give him Mike Massenzio. Akiyama gets knocked out in 30 seconds? Give him Jake Shields. It all makes sense. 

Bad jokes aside, I'm upset they aren't giving Palhares a major step up after he handled Dan Miller the way he did.

And about his hype, his only UFC losses are to Dan Henderson (no shame in that) and Nate Marquardt, who he was doing very, very well against until the extremely controversial ending. Dominant wins over Jeremy Horn, Ivan Salaverry, David Branch and Dan Miller are nothing to scoff at, not to mention his silver at ADCC, where his only loss was a close loss on points to the guy who won the absolutes. All his wins at ADCC were by submission, which is pretty damn impressive.

I'm waiting for someone to tell me this is a joke. Palhares handles Miller, and gets Massenzio. Looks like Mr. Massenzio won't be able to walk for a little while.

Rules for scheduling a UFC event in Brazil:

- Put a ton of Brazilians on the card
- Make sure a few of them are likely to get wins otherwise there could be a riot
- Keep Chael Sonnen away for his own safety

Other rules?

Palhares deserves to fight better competition.
He's a level above Massenzio and he'll sub him late first round is my prediction.
