I'm so stoked for Brown vs. Silva. That fight is going to have mushroom clouds rising from it.

Horiguchi/Montague is the fight I'm looking forward to the most from this card. I'm particularly looking forward to see what Horiguchi's flyweight debut is like. I think had he not signed with the UFC and made the drop, he'd probably win the current VTJ 125 lbs. tournament.

I like the Silva/Brown fight, just not the booking.  Seems like a step down for Brown on his current win streak and Silva being inconsistent throughout his UFC run.

Great prelims and then Herman vs. Natal happened.

And yes, that is a real thing.

Is Ed Herman the worst fighter under ufc contract? I suppose Natal is now

 

 Not even close. Not even.

I'm a little out of touch... Who am I forgetting? Not including the wimmin

95% of the UFC WMMA fighters are better than both Herman and Natal.

Off the top of the dome...Rafaello Oliveira

One of the highlights from the prelims, Johnny Eduardo knocking out Eddie Wineland:

Also Kyoji put on a nasty beating on Darrell specifically in the second round where he pulled a Pat Barry and stumbled to the stool at the end of the round.

Dave Galera, the guy who lost to Royston Wee, may be the worst fighter to enter the UFC since the late teens. I'm pretty sure he would lose to Reinhardt. Not a doubt in my mind.

Ricardo Funch is worse than both.

Posted

Roop beat a UFC title contender by KO. Funch was a decent prospect (New England standards at least) at one point. He got put in the woodchipper though.

 

Plus, Funch isn't in the UFC anymore.

Guest Edwin
Posted

Ah yes, I forgot he meant currently in the UFC. Yeah, Galera is the equivalent of Funch. Undefeated, local prospects.

 

Those guys from TUF China are pretty horrible too.

Potts has the worst chin in the history of MMA.

Vinny Magalhaes got knocked out like 3 to 4 times by Anthony Perosh.
