UFC 155: Dos Santos vs. Velasquez II

[Big Red Jericho Punk]

Wow I'm far more interested in seeing Maynard and Weidman in their fights than the co main event. Oh well still should be an excellent card. Also hope Meathead gets back on track.

 

[No More Sorrow]

I'm actually looking forward to seeing Chris Leben return to the UFC. Really hope the guy has cleaned himself up.

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

Well I suppose it will give Davis a big name win.

Phil Davis fan here so I am glad that he is fighting again so soon. Bit of a lose/lose fight for him though as Griffin is a guy that has been disappointing the past few years and should have retired after the last Ortiz fight. If he beats him he beats a guy that should have retired and if he loses to him then he loses to a guy that should have retired. Still I am always happy to see him fight.

 

[The Cork]

Davis looked great against Prado while Griffin looked rotten against Tito, Forrest has pretty much no chance of the W.

Maynard/Lauzon is an amazing fight (I don't buy into the 'Maynard is boring' talk) and Belcher/Okami is a solid bout too, if not a little bizarre considering how contrasting their careers are at this point.

The main event is fit to headline any show but just makes me wish it was Overeem in there instead. Velasquez is brilliant and ruined Bigfoot but he wont be able to take JDS down, plus JDS is a way better boxer than him.

[The Cork]

Very, very happy with this card.

I'd advise everybody to watch the prelims of this one, because the next two contenders for the Bantam and Featherweight titles are fighting on the prelims here. Koch will probably fight Aldo if he beats Lamas, and Pickett should be next up @135lbs but that all depends on how long Barao vs Cruz takes to schedule.

Glad Belcher makes the main card too btw.

 

[No More Sorrow]

This new poster for the event is awesome.I got it off a link on UFC's website as well, so it's likely the official one.

 

[Troy]

This is one hell of a card. Now this is one card that I wish I could go see live because it should deliver, plus it would mean I would be in Vegas for NYE.

Pretty cool video the UFC released for the show.​

Leonard Garcia vs. Cody McKenzie added to this card.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Gray Maynard injured, Jim Miller is stepping in to fight Lauzon. I think this is a much better matchup tbh.

 

[The Cork]

I love both fights above.

Cody Mac via R1 guillotine, mark bias says Jimmiller ftw but head says Lauzon taps him. Fight of the night guaranteed in that one though, maybe even a title shot for Lauzon if he wins.

 

[Deezy]

J-Jau plays spoiler to everyone, too bad no Bully tho

 

[Troy]

Another damn injury, still a good replacement though. Can't go against Lauzon in that match-up though, should be a cracking fight.
