[The Cork]

Lot of boring matchups on this card, Joe Silva might need to call it a day.

Bonnar/Anderson is great but seems like an FX card otherwise.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Brazilian fans will eat this card up though. I do think they should've done Big Nog vs. Gonzaga instead of Herman. Barao-McDonald would've been a nice addition to this card as well.

OR maybe if the original card didn't go to shit because of injuries, that would've been awesome too. I WANTED TO SEE RAMPAGE LOSE SOME TEETH.

 

[Slim]

The original card is def better... but hey we get to see Anderson Silva compete at light heavyweight again. I'm game.

 

[Big Red Jericho Punk]

Big Nog fighting again is the major highlight for me on the card. I'm happy to see him again even if he does like a senior citizen nowadays.

 

[Slim]

Well hopefully he'll make Herman tap. Need to see Big Nog win again. Why? I'm honestly not sure but it'd be nice.

[Chase]

To be honest if this was free it would be awesome. To bad it isn't Silva vs Bonnar should be a good card, nice of Silva to step in. Than again it is in Brazil so he'd have no problem. I agree though Gonzaga vs Nog would have been awesome to see over Nog vs Herman.

 

[Troy]

It is better than the last Brazil PPV that they had but it still isn't a great card.

Phil Davis vs. Prado is the fight I am most looking forward to. I want to see Davis get back into the form he had before the Evans fight and Prado's reaction in the last fight was hilarious. Silva/Bonnar is going to be one sided and I don't know why we are seeing Big Nog again. He is one that should really be thinking about retiring as he is well past his prime.

 

[Chase]

Prado screaming had me laughing for hours man. Hoping that we see at least one upset on this card that is the only way I can feel this will be good. Had a scary dream Bonnar TKO'd Silva. Swear I was freaking out in fear, but then I woke up and said ok just a dream.

[The Cork]

This guy is pissing me off now, I want to believe he has a chance of the upset (no matter how small) but he's running around saying shit like "huh huh I'm gonna get my ass kicked huh huh Anderson's gonna make me shit my teeth out huhhh"

Just stop, man. Seems like he's going there to be a punchbag.

 

[Deezy]

The only way this fight will look cometitive is if it's worked.

This will bomb, first off. It's in a foreign country that gets the TV broadcast for free and North American audiences will not see the draw for this card. Sure it's a Anderson card, but you want to see a competitive fight. This is basically looking like Ali/Wepner or Tyson/Botha to me.

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

Eh I'm pumped for it, not every fight has to have some grand epic story line or title implications or decide the fate of the free world. I watch MMA to see guys sloppily punch and kick each other, their fighters, they fight, put any two guys against each other and its worth watching. Not to mention Bonnar's the perfect combination of slow, basic and not very talented to let Silva show off.

It would be fine if it wasn't a PPV card.

I can't pay to watch a one-sided beatdown, I can see that when I go out drinking.
