UFC 147: Silva vs. Franklin II

[No More Sorrow]

It hasn't been technically signed for yet, but the UFC prime time crew is video taping footage of both fighters in training right now, so it could just be a matter of days before it's officially signed.

Very happy that they booked it for an 80k seat stadium. It wouldn't have done this fight and feud justice if it was held in a 20k arena. The visual of this event will be stunning and the crowd is going to go insane for this fight.

Well it's official, Silva/Sonnen and Vitor/Wandy have all signed on to fight for this show against each other in a sccoer stadium

 

[Smartmark]

I have to watch this UFC show for sure!

 

[The Cork]

Someone please photoshop that "Cena Wins We Riot" sign from One Night Stand into "Silva Wins We Riot".

There going to do mega buys for this fight, it's easily the biggest rematch they have available to them and Sonnen will draw in the casuals. Could see them easily doing in the 800K range.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Yeah it's being hyped as the biggest rematch in UFC history, and i think most people would agree with that. This show will easily be in their top 10 most bought shows, possibly top 5.

The build up is going to be crazy to the fight, UFC Prime time is already taping stuff from each fighters training camp. It's just going to get even crazier once we get closer.

UFC 145-148 are just absolutely stacked cards.

-Sonnen/Silva II (147)
-Wandy/Vitor II (147)
-Dos Santos/Overeem (146)
-Velasquez/Frank Mir (146)
-Ortiz/Griffin III (148)
-Faber/Cruz III (148)
-Jones/Rashad (145)
-Franklin/Cung Le (148)

Not to metnion all of the great fights that are going to be on Fox.

 

[Troy]

Very happy that this fight is now official and that we get Belfort vs. Wandy on the same card. To warm us up for the mainevent we get to see Belfort KOing Wandy so that is a bonus. Only problem with all these top cards are I have to wait so long to see these fights I want to watch them now!

 

[The Cork]

I think it's about time we turn this into the official Chael Appreciation Thread.

Enough with the gift fights for Vitor. Any intelligent fight knows from the start that this fight isn't fair, but I'm sure it was just made because they needed another brazilian for TUF. Or because Vitor blows Dana by saying the the UFC is the best sport in the world, over fucking soccer. Or both.

Also, Anderson should beat Chael. And I think he will. He's got 80K fans cheering for him, he's training at home, Rio, again, and he's much more mentally stronger and physically healthy then he was before the first Chael fight. I think Chael will have a hard time taking him down, and will try to use his 'olympic' boxing but Anderson will counter and finish him via TKO.

All this shit talking only is going to motivate Silva really, and if Silva doesn't beat him there will prob just be a full out riot and the fans will storm the cage and kill him.
