Card was officially announced for today, this show is the UFC's debut in China. I actually like the main card a lot. The poster is pretty cool as well.

 

[Slim]

I really do like the card. Just wish I had freakin Fuel so I could watch it.

Looking forward to this event to see how they go in Macau. I was there at the Venetian just over a month ago and it is a fantastic casino with plenty of space for this event. Tempted to go back for this event especially since ticket prices are reasonable $500 for Silver down to $50 for the worst tickets. The only trouble is the cost of the flight to and from there. Should be a great atmosphere and I am sure the fighters will have a great time in Macau.

Quality card for a free show but then again I guess they want to impress with their first event here.

Swear if Le gets injured this card will be in deep shit. Dana practically begged for Le too be on this card.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Yeah these injuries have been INSANE this year, hopefully though this fight stays intact. It's actually a pretty good match up.

Danzig v Gomi is fireworks, Kim/Thiago & Franklin/Le should be good bouts too.

Can't say I know anything about Nedkov though and Thiago Silva is madly overrated.

A better card than a lot of PPV's this year.

However, Franklin knows to expect a dangerous opponent come November and UFC on Fuel TV 6.


“What makes his kicks so effective is the fact that he doesn’t mind throwing them because his wrestling is so good,” said Franklin, during a recent appearance on Inside MMA. “He may not be much of an offensive wrestler in this fight, but it may be difficult to take him down. He’s a good defensive wrestler and that could come into play.”


Franklin and Le will be main eventing the first-ever UFC card to take place in China. The event goes down November 10 from the CotaiArena in Macau.

Hoping Franklin can win here and get a bump in competition.

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

Even if Franklin wins he's stuck in no mans land, he's too small for LHW and cant crack the upper echelon of MW ever since Silva Thai clinched him.

Looking to bet on this event, what are people thinking on Silva/Nekov Kim/Thiago Gomi/Danzig and Franklin/Le?

 

[No More Sorrow]

Those are some pretty hard fights to call honestly. I'd go Franklin, Silva, Kim and Gomi. But as i said, it's a real toss up, especially Franklin/Le.

 

[The Cork]

I went same as NMS but they are mostly 50/50 fights.

Kim is solid although Maia kinda fucked him up on the Sonnen/Silva undercard. Maia is no slouch though so no shame in losing to him or Condit. Thiago got knocked out badly by Siyar in less than a minute and tends to lose when against elite fighters like Diego Sanchez, Kampmann etc.

Gomi and Danzig are both gatekeepers with nothing to lose so it promises to be a slugfest. Gomi can and has been tapped in the past and Mac Dan is a proficient finisher on the ground. Most likely a UD either way though, flip a coin.

No idea who Nedkov is and I don't like Thiago Silva at all, just went with the bigger name on that one.

Franklin has a bit left in the tank and while Le is fun to watch, most his flashy shit is all style no substance. Franklin should cruise to a fairly easy win by decision if he doesn't do anything Blue (spinning back fists).

Prediction thread is up for this event.

 

[No More Sorrow]

: Just realized this show STARTS at 9am on the east coast with the prelims starting at 6:15 am due to the time difference with China, luckily there's a replay on at 7pm.

 

[The Cork]

This starts in like an hour.
