« on: August 17, 2008, 10:35:55 PM »
I found this poll kind of interesting. I actually think Michael Bisping vs Chris Leben or Keith Jarinine vs Brandon Vera will be the most interest. None of them REALLY, REALLY stick out though!

That one and the Alves fight.  I really think Alves kind of got the shaft.  He beats Hughes and Parisyan by TKO and gets Diego?  He should be getting a title shot.

Sherk Vs Griffin- it'd be interesting to see how Sherk has recovered from the beating BJ put on him

Machida VS Silva.

Looking forward to seeing Rashad get KTFO.  Hopefully Chuck's ham is fully healed.
I think Machida will get beat down by Thiago....really loking forward to that!
I love any Leben fight.  And watching him grind out a win over Bisbing will be awesome.
Vera vs Jardine should be a bloody war.
I can't fooking stand Thiago Alves.  I hope Diego ends him.

These should all be great match ups.  I wish they were all on one card!

I would say Leben/Bisping and Sanchez/Alves, both have th potential to be action packed wars.  Machida/Silva= Silva aggressively chasing Machida, or Machida aggresively eluding Silva, either way it's pretty much a recipe for boredom.  Sherk/Griffin might be a good display of wrestling prowess.

Too right brother, hopefully Silva gets it though. Eventhough, Machida is awefully good at running away evading an attack, and scoring by strikes/kicks. I hope Sanchez pounds Alves into the ground. In regards to Sherk/Griffin, I think its all down hill for Sherk now...

Even though it's not on there I'm really excited about Palhares vs Henderson. Two really strong guys both with amazing wrestling and explosive takedowns. Palhares has crazy jiu jitsu, particularly amazing leg locks,  while Henderson has the stand up advantage. Should be a tremendous fight between an established veteran and an extremely talented up and comer.

I couldn't agree with you more. You nailed my thoughts on each matchup to a tee! I can't stand Alves either. He just seems very arrogant and I cant wait till someone wipes that shitty ass smirk off his face. I hope Rashad get's a brutal TKO in the first round and then maybe chuck could do a boogy woogy dance over him.

heh - i recall he almost slipped and fell once in his excitement to run sideways around the ring.
I think it was in the second Couture match
