I basically didn't change anything from what you had.
i see bj controlling the lightweight for a while, diego is good but i don't think good enough if he is next in line and penn wins

Totally not true! :)


My picks:

BJ Penn - Sorry Kenny, but you are not GSP. Penn takes this one.

Anderson Silva - Seriously, Forrest Griffin? I just don't see him doing a whole lot.

Amir Sadollah vs. Johny Hendricks - No clue, although I like Amir's crazy personality

Ricardo Almeida - Very experienced and been around for a long time; should be able to take down Grove without any issues, I would think.

Kurt Pellegrino vs. Josh Neer - Each guy is pretty experienced, but I can't say for sure which one I pick to win. Neer is who I'm sort of leaning towards, but I don't necessarily care for either guy.

the undercards are so hard to pick, cause to be honest at most ive seen a fighter fight once if at all

Penn by decision
Silva by decision, dont be surprised if Forrest beats him tho
Hendricks by tko
Almeida by sub
Neer by ko
Leites by sub
Sotiropoulos by decision
Howard by ko

wow you really think anderson and forrest will go to a decision?

ill honestly be surprised if griffin makes it out of the second round.

i think because rashad and jardine were able to beat forrest in the stand up, anderson should have no problem.
forrest is bigger, and has the weight advantage, but i think there is no aspect of a fight that forrest does better than anderson.

punches=silva
kicks=silva
muay thai=silva
bjj=silva

forrest is a better wrestler than anderson, thats the only style i think forrest holds a slight advantage.
and i know forrest is a good bjj practicioner, but people forget that silva is a black belt under one of the best bjj grapplers in mma, big nog

for forrest to have a shot, he would have to make it an unbelievably boring fight, either try and get on top and use his weight, or stand around and jab and go.

heres how i see the fight going;
they feel each other out, forrest will try and chop andersons legs like he did rampage, anderson will get is timing and land big blows. if forrest doesnt get knocked out early, i see him desperatley trying to get anderson down, anderson has a great sprawl but hendo did take him down, but forrest is not the world class wrestler like henderson is. forrest will try and use the blueprint hendo used, but i dont think he is skilled enough to keep anderson under him.


how do you see the fight going down b?

I can picture A decision in the Griffin fight. Forrest is tough. He has suprised me before.

one things for sure, its going to be a helluva fight...i just believe forrest's tenacity will and sturdy chin is what will make it go to a decision imo, his striking isnt that bad, obviously not as good as spiders but decent, and his bjj skills are underrated imo

both have alot to prove, silva is under pressure to come out and put on a good show, forrest is looking to beat, as many consider, the worlds #1 p4p

going to be interesting to see how silva handles forrests pressure and it will be interesting to see how forrest handles silvas striking



cant wait to stream this card legally of course :)

oh yeah me too, i cant wait to legally watch this show live! ;p

forrest will push the pace, thats almost guaranteed, which should lead to an exciting fight at least.

forrest has great bjj skills, he really impressed me when he choked out shogun.

albeit it was during shogun's terrible funk, but less than five years ago shogun was well known as the best LHW fighter in the world.

i think the bj/kenny fight will last longer than this one, but not much longer.

I WANT BJS BELT!! heh

it seems BJ is totally devoted to the LW division.
and because of that, i dont see anyone beating BJ at 155.

main card results so far, BJ/Florian next.

Kurt 'Batman' Pelligrino def. Josh Neer
Johnny Hendricks def. Amir Sadollah
Aaron Riley def. Shane Nelson
Ricardo Almeida def. Kendall Grove
Anderson Silva def. Forrest Griffin

undercard results

Jesse Lennox def. Danillo Villefort via TKO (cut) at 3:37 of round 3
George Sotiropoulos def. George Roop via submission (kimura) at of 1:59 round 2
Matt Riddle def. Dan Cramer by unanimous decision.
Alessio Sakara def. Thales Leites by split decision.
John Howard def. Tamdan McCrory by split decision.

so far im only 5/10, i suck lol

cmon BJ, get me over .500!

You gonna post how we all did? This is your thread. If not that may be alot of work If you want we can go back and tally our own.

I have been reading it was a knock out between silva and griffin, how bad was it?

I think If I did mine correct I am 5 for 5 with 1 fight left.

Leb about the knockout someone described it as the same type of jab that Petrozelli knocked Slice out with.

BJ Penn defeats Kenny Florian by 4th rd Submission, RNC

ill go back and tally up all the resutls tomorrow.


and the final punch that took out Forrest was a short jab, but it hit flush right on the jaw.

but forrest was walking around KO'd before the jab, Silva hurt him twice HARD, every punch Silva landed hurt Griffin really bad, knocking him down twice before the eventual KO

I found it on youtube a minute ago but i can't find it now. I guess forest was just hurt before because it didn't look like that hard of a jab.
from what it sounds like penn has improved alot, considering what wround he beat him in

fight is already over

BJ Penn defeated Kenny Florian by 4th rd. Submission, RNC

With that I think Im 6 for 5. IF you look at my original post I didn't change any. I just added a + for my correct ones and - for my wrong ones. Didnt meen to change the post. Was trying to compare.

i totally missed on the silva fight, he came out to prove a point that he's one of the best

I went 6/11 I think.

Silva is just a ****ing beast, never thought he'd take Forrest that fast.
Penn shows us again how it's done.

Grove and Neer were disappointments.

it just seemed to me that anderson was totally dedicated to humiliating forrest, fast.
he knew he was the better fighter, and he wanted to prove it.

forrest can thank robert drysdale for that ass kicking
