I'm picking Brazil for the clean sweep at UFC 117

Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen
Thiago Alves vs. Jon Fitch
Rafael dos Anjos vs. Clay Guida
Ricardo Almeida vs. Matt Hughes
Junior Dos Santos vs. Roy Nelson

No problem

I've got 3-2 Brazil

I'm 4-1 Brazil, Guida being my lone US pick.

I picked Roy Nelson and Jon Fitch.

me too. I picked Hughes, but I am not so sure about it now.

fitch all the way but other than that I can see it happenening and dont ever count out guida we all should know that by now.

Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen - Silva is just not a hard pick here for me.

Thiago Alves vs. Jon Fitch - This is a hard pick because Fitch is so solid, I'd like to see Alves power out and sprawl away from take downs and delivers some goon strikes to finish.

Rafael dos Anjos vs. Clay Guida - This is more toss up also, but I think Anjos can wrap up Guida, maybe use his aggressiveness against somehow on the way.

Ricardo Almeida vs. Matt Hughes - Almeida was a handful at 185 since coming back to the states. I think he is gonna wreck dudes at 170 for a few years.

Junior Dos Santos vs. Roy Nelson - If he keeps Roy away long enough he can start to damage his face and kill it until it dies.

We'll see.

One thing is for sure: this card is fucking awesome. And what a blessing in disguise that they didn't use a Prelims event for this card since Thiago went down (although I still want to see Story-Haz and hope we get that on the PPV)

Captain Im pretty sure we picked all the same picks for our grand prix match up.

2-3 America, but I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up 5-0 Brazil either. these are really well put together matches, on paper at least.

ah, no way, I'll change a pick tomorrow, unless u want to change one. I'll leave it to u as I think u picked 1st.

did u pick an over under?

damn no one giving fitch a chance even tho he beat alves last time and the fact that fitch is the most focused fitch we have seen and the lay off alves had with the brain issue.

I've got Fitch and Guida ruining your picks.

Yea it doesnt look good for America.

Sonnen has a legit chance tonight if he can get Silva to the ground.

I still got Silva winning, but I'm not as positive as I once was about it.

As a matter of fact...I am CHANGING my pick to Sonnen...RIGHT NOW. =)

Fitch has a solid shot at winning, as does Guida, but I also have them both losing their fights I believe.

I see Matt Hughes winning his fight against Almeida, and then Dos Santos beating Roy.


So I have it 3-2 Brazil as of now.
