epwar Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Another Brazilian main card stacked with 3-to-1 Brazilian favorites. I'm shocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVileOne Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Another Brazilian main card stacked with 3-to-1 Brazilian favorites. I'm shocked. I mean its a free card. What is there to complain about? Top three fights are all good fights IMHO. For a free card I think that's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 You have to give Sonnen being credit for being a loyal UFC solider but no matter how hard he tries he can't sell me that Ryan Bader has a snowball chances in hell of winning this fight.

Elsalvajeloco Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 I think he has a shot. Glover hasn't impressed me. This is what all his detractors say. However, I personally would not lay a dime on Ryan Bader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 I don't think there was an argument that he stylistically matched up against Jon. Glover's age, inactivity against legit opponents, and lack of a real solid camp was always a detriment to him being an elite fighter. But no one can doubt that he is an upper tier light heavyweight right now. Certain guys (i.e. Bader) will always find a way to lose to him.

Fat Spanish Waiter Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Hahaha fair enough. Finding a way to lose is definitely what he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawful Metal Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Glover looks old. He looked like he could've been Bader's dad. A Glover v. Jon Jones fight is even snoozier than the Gustafson fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Glover will get murdered by anyone good. The problem is that there aren't that many good light heavyweights. Glover is probably top 5 in the world at 205, but Jon Jones should be ranked #1-3. He is so far ahead of everyone else in the division it is kind of ridiculous. Bader is the single best looking knock out recipient in the UFC. When he falls he splays out like pancake batter dropped from a roof. If you want to make someone a contender have them punch Bader one good time and you have yourself a highlight reel knockout. This main card was surprisingly good with the top three fights solidifying the title pictures of their respective divisions. Joseph Benavidez has the best chance of winning a title of any of the Alpha Male guys. It seems like they have an entire camp full of #2 guys in their divisions which is kind of depressing when you think about it. With that said since Bang Ludwig took over as head coach the entire team is 17-0. If the Alpha Male guys were hobbits(the jury is still out) those long ass Lord of the Rings movies would have been over in about 15 minutes. Jacare has become a pretty well rounded fighter, which I wouldn't have guessed. He straight smashed Okami, who has been hovering around the top of the middleweight division for years now. He has solidified himself as a legit contender for the title, despite the fact that I see him getting beat into a bloody, broken, pulp against Silva or Weidman.

TheVileOne Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Jacare looks like a scary middleweight prospect now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glfpunk Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Glover will get murdered by anyone good. No. He's probably the second best LHW in the world. A fight with him and Gustafsson would be interesting but I'd probably go with Glover. Not sure who in that division you think would "murder" him. Rashad? Lil Nog? Those guys haven't "murdered" anyone in years. Phil Davis would be interesting but laying on dudes for three rounds is more of his thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
