This time its not going to be in video form as I really do think theres not much to be said as its basic knowledge to everyone for these fights that have seen these fighters.
There are 2 fights I have bets on.
Rich Franklin vs Wanderlei Silva
I personally have Franklin in this fight simply because Franklin is more fresh and hasn't thrown his body in a blender. Lets face it Silva is a exciting fighter as hes a animal but his style of fighting is just 100% psycho. He other knocks the other person out or he gets knocked out. His body has paid for it over the years. Franklin isn't known for his powerful hands but I think with the deteriorated chin of Silva it will be enough to drop Silva in the 2nd round. People can make the argument of Franklin is overrated but personally I thought he was overrated as well until I saw the fight against Dan Henderson. I thought Franklin was going to get killed but it was a really close fight. So that just shows you how well rounded Franklin is. Also Wanderlei is moving down in weight, so that means his body probably wont react good to the weight loss as suppose to Franklin moving up in weight(but he already cuts a shitload of weight to fight in middle weight). I really do think Franklin is going to knock out Silva but wont be surprised if a over hand right or left catches Franklin. I have $50 on this fight.
Cheick Kongo Vs. Cain Velasquez
This is the co main event and this fight I have $60, on Cain Velasquez. I personally think this is a 60-40 fight for Cain Velasquez as hes just a far superior fighter. I watched his 2ND ever fight in mma on youtube and just saw how he relaxed he was in the ring. So that just impresses me to see someone be able to be so calm. If your calm your confident in your own skills. His fights show this as he is undefeated. Cheick Kongo on the other hand is no slouch himself but I think his hunger for a title shot is going to be his main down fall. He took this fight on short notice as Health Herring the original opponent got hurt. He took this fight in 3 weeks notice. So already Cain Velasquez has a huge advantage if it goes past the 2nd round as the cardio differnce is goign to be way different. I say this because I see a ground and pound victory for Cain Velasquez in the first round. Also Cheick has been training out of wolf slayer(where Rampage currently trains) I don't know how they train but if you seen Rampage's last fight with Keith Jardine. Rampage looked like shit and was gassed and this was suppose to be a step up for him in training. Cheick's history with losses were all given to him by grapplers. Cain Velasquez is a incredible armature wrestling that is far superior then the people Cheick has fought with a wrestling back round. The only chance Cheick has in this fight is keeping this fight standing and knocking out Cain, which I don't see happening as Cain has awesome wrestling. Or if its on the ground and Cheick pulls off his first ever submission, as he has never pulled one off yet, so its really unlikely he will pull out a submission. Cheick Kongo will get pounded out in the first round.
