Alan Belcher vs Rousimar Palhares UFC on FOX 3

Alan Belcher vs Rousimar Palhares fight added to FOX card!!!!!!

Via DW twitter

Great fight. Palhares is a beast but i hope my boy Belcher can find a way to get the win.

Noice, come on Belcher !!!

Dope fight.

Maybe not the biggest of name value, but these guys put on good fights.

Figure this is Palharess chance to jump in amongst the contendors.

lets see you twist on Alans tree trunks weirdo. I kinda thought Alan deserved a high profile striker while paul should fight someone with a legit blackbelt, but ill allow it

I think Belcher is a stud. If he can stay healthy then he can be a contender.

Farmer and Alan sitting in a tree...

I like it but I gotta go with Harris. I'd like to be proven wrong and see Belchar keep it up and box his ears off, but I think Rousmir will get him down and damage him and finish him.

I'm gonna go with Palhares, but this is a good fight.

Will this be one of the 4 fights that make it on FOX? Or is this going to be on the FX prelim?

Be surprised if this doesn't make the telecast, both could wind up in a title shot within the year.

This is on the main card, and deservedly so. Harris has looked awesome recently and belcher is a stud when healthy

not sure if alan is strong enough to stop a take down from pauls stregnth, if he is the hes got this, if not then its ova...

"I feel honored the UFC family wanted me to be on [the FOX] card and believed in my abilities and show the fans that I'm gonna be a champ. I'm one of the top contenders and I'm ready to prove it. I'd be stupid to try and force a grappling match. I'm gonna use my strength, my strategy, not that I can't grapple, but he can't really strike that good. It's a huge advantage for me just by keeping it on the feet. He's gonna have to get me in one of those situations and I'm not gonna let that happen. Best of luck to him, I don't think he's gonna get a hold of me and do anything. I'm a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Some people might be surprised but I'll give him a nice little run on the ground and may submit him."

LOL

Yikes. Galvao couldn't sub Palhares but yet Alan Belcher is going to get it done?

You know how pre-fight talk goes. Whatever sounds good.

I guess. But thats like Michael Bisping saying he's going to submit Demian Maia.

Hopefully Belcher just kicks his head off instead

You are better off hoping he doesn't get his leg snapped. Just hope he taps early enough to avoid damage.

I'll take him winning the fight

He ain't.

Well I know it would be totally unlike Palhares to a blow a fight, so I guess I'll just have to cross my fingers and hope

Yeah hoping for a mental mistake would be the best bet.

Belcher isn't some scrub that is going to get heel hooked in ten seconds like all the non-UFC caliber fighters that he's done that too. We're also talking about a guy who was like 2 hammerfists away from being knocked out by Dan Miller

Same guy went 3 rounds with Hendo and took those shots. I'm just sayin, Belcher ain't got nothing for him.
