I think Q needs to work on his leg kick defence. Arona caught him pretty good and in the GP Silva caught him with a good one just prior to those knees, I think Silva will come out and try to chop Q's legs up and then try to finish him. The fight could go either way, they're both such fantastic competitors.
Rampage is gonna be tough - he's gonna give Silva a fight, but Silva will knock a nigga eye out...
"Who bet you $1,000 Silva would win?"
LOL. Actually my friend/training partner took the bet. He firmly believes as do many here that Oct 31 will be a repeat of the Gran Prix finals. We've agreed to disagree and put some money down.
Like goku said, I firmly believe if Silva wins it will not be with the knees. He will probably catch Rampage with a slick submission if he wins. But no way is Rampage going to be eating a bunch of knees again.
Yelm, I haven't seen the fight in about a year, so I don't remember exactly. I guess Rampage was in Silva's guard. Rampage to my memory was busy enough on the ground throwing elbows and knees that the fight should not have been stood up. I'll have to rewatch it again though.
As far as Silva's corner complaining for them to be stood back up, I know I saw that. And it's been pretty well documented on the net by people who were at the show and could hear Silva's corner constantly complaining about the fighters needing to be stood back up. This is not new news.
Its sad God always gets pulled into things in a negative way. Faith in God got Vitor a long way according to him, in his happiness, peace, and joy along with his relationships in life. God does not gaurantee you will never lose contests, etc. Christians competing against Christians is not always about who is the better Christian, as God is not a dictator, he does not control things, he allows us free will yet his plan still gets done because of the power he has and working through the people who make choices, etc.
I would say being close to God is more likely to help you win, because if you truly are you will be mentally stronger which filters through the whole game. No doubt God helps some people sometimes too, but he loves even those who do not believe in him. Christians are winners in life(even if they suffer cause of their beliefs) so its not all about victory in contests. Love is a difficult thing to break, thats our strength.
i want to bet money on rampage, whos a takeer
"Who bet you $1,000 Silva would win?"
OMG! You bet straight money on Rampage? PLEASE tell me that your buddy gave you odds... at the very least you should have waited until the betting lines were posted on the fight. I believe that Rampage will come in as a decent underdog, and $1000 could get you upwards of 3-4 thousand, instead of just doubling... I hope your friend appriciates the favour. I can tell you this, no one who bets on-line will get 2000 on their 1000 wager for this fight.
I DO think Rampage can win it though, so good luck in any case.
"$1000 could get you upwards of 3-4 thousand, instead of just doubling..."
Nooooo.
Jackson won't be that big an underdog. This will be Silva's most competitive fight in a long time.
Silva is going to KO him
There is no way in hell that rampage is going to beat silva.
Silva will KO him in one or two rounds.
Big fan of both fighters.
I think stand-ups will obvioulsy make a huge difference in this fight and I think Pride will protect their champ by doing them often.
Given that I think Wandy has to be the favorite. Rampage is a damn solid striker but Silva cut him down quick last time.
Great fight!
"q will win but it wont be cuz of religion"
How do you see him winning?
Can anyone post a screen capture of Quinton's face as he watched Wand stomp Kondo? I want to send it to a friend I'm betting with...
Thanks in advance
who cares what his face looked like after Wanderlei stomped Kondo, Rampage is not affraid of Silva not one bit
'Jackson won't be that big an underdog. This will be Silva's most competitive fight in a long time.'
He is correct. And Pinnacle and Sportsbook.com will have odds on the event.
Rampage will not fight scared, I see him coming out very stong. According to him he's finally eating healthy and training harder than ever. The biggest factor is he will be FRESH for this fight. Silva better be ready for the toughest fight of his life Oct. 31.
P.S Anyone know what other fights will be on the card? Rumors?
Everyone knows fear even big bad Wanderlei
"Silva better be ready for the toughest fight of his life Oct. 31."
Have you not seen but a couple of his fights?? The man is ready for the toughest fight of his life every single time he gets in the ring.
I like Rampage as a fighter, one of my favorites, but I have been a Silva fan since his IVC days and I am sure he will knock him out. Since 1996, only three men were able to beat Silva, Tito, Victor, and Artur Mariano. And in the Mariano fight, Silva wanted to continue despite the fact that he has a gash on his head that looked like a pussy it was so bad. Victor is the only guy that beat Silva in my book, Tito's win was half-ass.
Either way, the fight will be awesome and if anyone beats Silva, I would want it to be Rampage. But I gotta go with Silva like usual.
Silva's toughest fights Crocop,Yoshida,Henderson,Sac,and Rampage
