UFC 126 Pickems WTF?

Have to say this is the hardest card imo to pick the winner of the main fights. I know its early but curious to see what you guys think. These fights could go either way I know thats the case for any fight but damn these are some good match ups.


Anderson Silva (No. 1 MW, No. 1 PFP) vs. Vitor Belfort (No. 5 MW)

Forrest Griffin (No. 5 LHW) vs. Rich Franklin
Ryan Bader (No. 6 LHW) vs. Jon Jones (No. 7 LHW)
Jake Ellenberger vs. Carlos Eduardo Rocha
Sam Stout vs. Paul Kelly
Miguel Torres vs. Antonio Banuelos

as of right now

Anderson Silva (No. 1 MW, No. 1 PFP) vs. Vitor Belfort (No. 5 MW)

Ryan Bader (No. 6 LHW) vs. Jon Jones (No. 7 LHW)
Jake Ellenberger vs. Carlos Eduardo Rocha
Sam Stout vs. Paul Kelly
Miguel Torres vs. Antonio Banuelos


let's hope we don't get any injuries on this card, because it is stacked!

Ace will embarrass Forrest. I'm going to be the only one calling for that pre-fight. But post fight you cocksuckers will back track.

I think it's going to be a very close fight

Partner In Crime

I will probably be on board with u guys also. I dont think I can ever pick Forrest to win another fight after the Silva fight. Just me.

I have it looking like this right now(adjusted with Ninja's Place Rankings FTW!):

Anderson Silva (No. 1 MW, No. 2 PFP) vs. Vitor Belfort (No. 4 MW) - I might flip this. If there is a guy capable of steamrolling Anderson with a brutal KO early in the fight, it's Vitor.

Forrest Griffin (No. 9 LHW) vs. Rich Franklin - I think Rich replaces Forrest in the Top Ten.

Ryan Bader (No. 6 LHW) vs. Jon Jones (No. 5 LHW) - I hop it's a good battle, so hard to pick against Jones, I won't.

Jake Ellenberger vs. Carlos Eduardo Rocha - Ellenberger has some recognition, but what he needs is to establish his name. Ellenberger.

Sam Stout vs. Paul Kelly - Like this match up. I think Stout keeps it up and keeps it violent.

Miguel Torres (No. 6 BW) vs. Antonio Banuelos - Seems like it as safe written all over it to me.

I don't know about Banuellos being safe for Torres. Banuellos gave Jorgensen a real hard time and even dropped him twice with punches. Torres needs to be careful.

Does Franklin ever embarrass guys anymore?

He might stick and move his way to a decision, but I don't see an embarrassment.

I have him has a dog but he is a capable fighter. Safe might not be the right word but I think this is one of the guys that Torres will be able to over match.

Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort
Forrest Griffin vs. Rich Franklin
Ryan Bader vs. Jon Jones This fight gives me a chub
Jake Ellenberger vs. Carlos Eduardo Rocha this is an easy pick
Sam Stout vs. Paul Kelly
Miguel Torres vs. Antonio Banuelos

I dunno I disagree .. I think the bader bones fight is the only fight that I kind of thought about for a little bit before picking... but i guess outside of the ellenberger fight I wouldnt be "too" surprised if the fights go the other way.. so theres that.

+1. I'm thinking that was just an exaggeration. That fight seems to have split decision written all over it to me

True. I have Frank winning by anything other than (t)ko in this one.
