UFC 153: USA vs Brazil, who wins?

Let's just look at the main card only. 5 matchups, all of them US vs Brazil. So out of the 5 matchups, who wins more?

Jose Aldo vs. Frankie Edgar (for featherweight title)
Quinton "Rampage" Jackson vs. Glover Teixeira
Jon Fitch vs. Erick Silva
Phil Davis vs. Wagner Prado
Demian Maia vs. Rick Story

I lean slightly to a Brazil clean sweep.

I think Davis will prevent that. But I could see it 4-1 Brazil easy.

Davis and Story are the ones who could upset the balance IMO.

I went 3-2 Brazil but it could easily be 4-1 Brazil. I got Davis winning for the US. Then I figure either Story or Fitch will get the win. Both could lose, but I think 1 of them finds a way to grind it out.

Brazil > world at mma

yeah I picked frankie what?

I think it's a competitive main card. The US can win, but Brazil has to be the slight favorite at home.

Jon Fitch vs. Erick Silva
Phil Davis vs. Wagner Prado
Demian Maia vs. Rick Story

Jon Fitch and Edgar have the best chance to take these fights.

This is how I have it, this is how I voted. I think all the fights could be argued for either guy though.

I agree. I was just looking at the card this morning with the Edgar switch, I thought all main card fights were competitive and then I noticed it was all US vs Brazil. Even though the card is more then a month away I made this thread before I forgot about it.

Rampage has a punchers chance because Glover will come to slug it out. But Davis couldn't take Prado down and was losing the fight until the eyepoke. Story probably gets taken down and grapple fucked. Fitch could do what he does with Silva but I kind of doubt it. Silva has the moves and power to make Fitch wary of coming in. Obviously Frankie is Frankie and could pull out a come-from-behind win, but that's pretty doubtful in My opinion. Aldo is just another beast entirely.

LOL you sound like Rashad Evans. It was 90 seconds into a 15 min fight. I'm not buying into that one bit.
