Everybody is talking about UFC 111
but i guess the upcomming UFC event on Sunday also deserves a look

Jon Jones vs. Brandon Vera
Junior dos Santos vs. Gabriel Gonzaga
Cheick Kongo vs. Paul Buentello
Daniel Roberts vs. John Howard
Clay Guida vs. Shannon Gugerty
Vladimir Matyushenko vs. Eliot Marshall
Duane Ludwig vs. Darren Elkins
James Irvin vs. Alessio Sakara
Brendan Schaub vs. Chase Gormley
Eric Schafer vs. Jason Brilz
Mike Pierce vs. Julio Paulino

Quite a few intersting and talented athlets in there

-pretty good 3 main fights
-Daniel Roberts is 9-0 in minor organisations and gives his UFC debut
-Mike Pierce is insanely talented too and faces Paulino who comes of 7 clear victories in a row in minor organisations
- Guida is always good for a nice show
rest of the card can also bring some interesting fights

vera jones should be interesting. i think jones is way over hyped and the best thing about him is his retard reach which he does not use well and his wrestling. i think his strking is very sloppy but hes just getting away with it cuz he hasnt faced an even semi decent striker that im aware of. ill take vera in this fight

jds vs GG is tough to call. ill take gonzaga with the upset

kongo

guida

looking forward to the 3 main fights like you said
as sad as it sounds i think i would like guida's fights more if he would cut his hair :/

ground & hair > you dirty brazilians and your bjj.

Yea I got some bets down and I'm very excited for this.

i want JDS to win so bad. I love a good striker especially in the HW division.

Jon Jones > Brandon Vera via decapation. I was off the Vera train after his fight with Randy he won't make it out of the first round

This looks like a great card

JDS has it in the bag, GG is the biggest waste of talent in MMA, guy has all the skills and strength to be the best in the world, but folds under pressure so quickly. Seriously give GG's size/str/skills to any other fighter and you have a champion.

you guys realize if jon jones finishes vera that he's like instant big contender... beat him by UD is more likely...

how cool would a ufc 2v2 be

how about 5 little guys vs 2 huge guys

well there is a giant pool of big timers in the LH division.
while it'd be nice to see him fight someone serious, i think the upper echelon of those fighters would probably crush him.

dos santos - gonzaga = im betting money and hopefully not losing

how about 50 midgets vs a lion?

jon jones will not finish vera.

vera is like gonzaga, a huge waste of talent. hes one of those guys that every fight part of you expects his potential to show and see him dominate but it almost never does. that said i think he will give jones a really tough time but it will come down to the wrestling imo. jones will be able to take him down and unleash enough gnp to win a decision

Or unleash enough GnP to make craters in his forehead or until the ref decides to DQ him on the grounds that he shouldn't be that violent to his opponents.

idk why but i think Buentello will win vs Kongo

the why is the simple fact that kongo has been getting wrecked in his last couple of fights.
mainly being out striked by a ground game specialist.

edit: a ground game specialist that most people really hate, and wanted to see lose.

I havn't seen Kongo in any of his "good" fights since I've only watched the UFC for maybe a year or a little less (I've watched K1 for a long time though) but except for being a strong motherfucker with ok chin I havn't seen anything impressive from him. Buentello doesn't seem that good either though.
