Tough fight for Maia, he'll be at a massive reach disadvantage so i think he'll have quite some difficulty getting the fight to the ground.

Yes please! that'll be a great fight. It's ages away though.

Vera-Thiago Silva is a dangerous fight for both guys, both need a win badly if they have any intentions on remaining relevant in LHW division.


Should be a fun fight though.

I don't think Silva is in any danger in terms of staying relevant. I think he's a solid top 10 fighter and his only two losses are too the guys ranked 2 and 3 in the world right now.

Vera could find himself cut if he losses though.

Alot of talk of Clay Guida facing off against Takanori Gomi, should be a fun scrap.

contender for fight of the year! that's going to be an exciting card.

2 great fights, Agree Anfield, FOTY contender for sure! Both men come to fight 100% of the time, both quick explosive tough well rounded fighters who go in to finish fights. Cant wait for this one. I critisize SF because they let their fighers walk over them but their matchmaking is great at times in terms of they know what will entertain, Cung Le vs Shott Smith, Manhoef vs Lawler now this and Diaz vs Noons.... Good job whoever put these fights togeather.

Vera vs Thiago is a really interesting one, I dont think either man is fighting for his job (If one of them was its Vera) there are a lot worse fighters on the roster than the man who Battered Couture or the guy who only lost to Machida and Evans when he was injured!... Hard to call because Vera is so much better technically on the feet but Thiagos power and agression should more than neutralise it I think. Jardine got in his face and gave him and 50/50 fight and Id imagine Thiago is going to do that much more successfully. What about the winner of this getting the winner of Tito vs Matt Hamill and the looser getting the looser? I dont think either man is getting cut with a loss.

I agree about Vera, but in Thiago's case when u think about it, he doesnt exactly have the biggest names in his list of wins, does he? Was Jardine top 10? I cant remember tbh.....

I understand the 2 guys he's lost too are 2 great fighters who could probably be rematching for the title next yr, but still if Thiago looses to Vera, it would be a big blow to him because he undoubtedly wants to have a run at the title, and given his age (Very young) and his potentail and skill level, he's got every chance to hold a belt sometime in the future.

the complete UFC 122 card

Main Card

Vitor Belfort vs. Yushin Okami
Dennis Siver vs. Andre Winner
Jorge Rivera vs. Alessio Sakara
Peter Sobotta vs. Amir Sadollah

Prelims

Vladimir Matyushenko vs. Jason Brilz
Krzysztof Soszynski vs. Goran Reljic
Pascal Krauss vs. Kenny Robertson
Kris McCray vs. Carlos Eduardo Rocha
Kyle Noke vs. Rob Kimmons
Seth Petruzelli vs. Karlos Vemola
Nick Osipczak vs. Duane Ludwig

It's a very very weak card.

Quite a shocking card, even for a TUF or FN card. I have no real intrest in any fight besides the main event and that will either end quickly or end up being a borefest.

Siver vs Winner, Slick Nick vs Ludwing and Sozynski vs Reljic could be fun but other than that, terrible. Thats the problem with stacking cards.
