General UFC thread

[kompany10]

Thanks to the mod who changed the title of the thread.

Will try to keep posting updates in this thread on the goings on at UFC/MMA for those interested.

Next up for the UFC is Browne v "Bigfoot" Silva this Friday night, it will be shown on ESPN.

After that is the strange but exciting match up of the best of all time Anderson Siva v Stephen Bonnar, anyone also looking forward to this? Or not?

Im looking forward to browne vs silva could be a gooden, i think silva didnt have enough time to show his skills in his last match against velaquez despite getting mauled i think he is a dangerous guy. Silva vs bonner looks ok, silva win though, probably decision. HOWEVER, if you get a chance look at the december the 8th card (derby day also :D) it is fantastic, one of the best in a long while.

I cant see Anderson Silva staying too long. Apart from a GSP fight if they could ever sort that out then there is no one who will put it up to him and have a chance of beating him. So I think he may well retire within 3 fights time.

He has said in the past few days he has 3 fights left on his UFC contract, he doesn't know if he will retire or continue.

I can see those three being the Bonnar fight this weekend. Then he wants GSP, and I can see him facing the winner of Weidman/Boetsch v Bisping.

I've downloaded all of Silva's fights and besides the Leites and Maia fights, his matches were amazing.
