What fight are you looking forward to most this month?

Some good fights coming up. What are you looking forward to most?

I went with Eddie vs Pitbull.

Eddie/Pitbull followed by Alvarez to UFC

Even if he loses? What about Eddie vs Gil?

This is a full month of MMA. We have 2 UFC cards, 4 Bellator, One FC and some smaller shows.

Spider vs Bonnar. Anderson is moving up in weight and actually fighting a dangerous opponent who has never been stopped in the UFC.

I don't know if I would call Bonnar a dangerous opponent. But Bonnar can take some serious punishment so we could be in for a lengthy ass whoopin.

Diaz isn't excited about Bonnard v silva.

Alvarez vs Pitbull and it is not close for me. That fight trumps all the others in potential epicsaucedness.

Would Erik Silva adding to his HL reel be anywhere close?

I was thinking that, but it would be more like if Erik Silva was fighting someone less lke Jon Fitch and more like Erik Silva.

I figured would enjoy Silva's knee caving in Fitch's face.

If Silva has a hard time KOing Bonnar (which I think he will that makes me alittle nervous about Bonnar).

Bonnar is fighting with nothing to lose just the UFC is promoting. He's dangerous because he can fight with reckless abandon and go finish where other people would he hesitant. Plus he's pretty damn big and well rounded. Who's to say he can't lay on Andy for 2 rounds. He did it Kingsbury. Not saying Kingsbury is Andy, just saying its in his arsenal.

I agree Farmer thats why I say he is dangerous and thats the fight Im looking forward to the most.

Im going with Silva vs Fitch. If he beats fitch and gets another quality win I think he should fight for a title. Id like to see him fight Diaz if he beats Fitch. The guy has a ton of talent.

Like that fight. Silva is so explosive, but Diaz gives everyone fits.

I think anybody fighting against Silva has nothing to lose and everything to gain nothing new there.

Yes and no. I can say outside of Sonnen no one has fought like it. Maia, Vitor, & Yushin all look like the shit down their leg.

Yep.

I guess we'll find out how much it matters or not.

I really suggest checking out this latest OneFC show. It was great, very entertaining. Top 3 card of the year. They did a great job with this event.

I would recommend watching the Boku-Zoro fight specifically. I didn't realize how massive Zoro was. He is as big as any LW I have ever seen. He was looking amazing for most of the fight with the exception of being dropped early and then caught and finished later. But between those moments he dominated and looked good doing it.

Well now that it is Saturday I am looking forward to Silva vs Fitch the most. Strictly because of the prospect of Silva winning. It's the most important and relevant fight on a real level, because of course Bonner beating Silva would be one of if not the biggest upsets ever, but that is such a far out lying possibility that it is a waste of thought to dwell on. Erik Silva though has a chance to show something big today. It is a very significant step up in difficulty for Silva, I doubt it will be his 5th first round obliteration in a row, but you never know, Fitch was murdered in a flash last time out.

If MacDonald gets by Penn and Silva beats Fitch, that is the title eliminator I want to see. Tragically it seems like we rarely ever get that kind of fight though, Bones vs Bader was probably the last time there was a situation comparable but they were both still a fight away after that fight.
