UFC 68 Predictions?
 

I noticed there are a lot of mma fans on GFY. So what are your predicitons for UFC 68? Sylvia by flying armbar.....1st round

My pick of winners:
Randy Couture
Matt Hughes
Rich Franklin
Babalu Sobral
Matt Hamill

I love Randy Couture and I would never bet against him, but it's hard to envision him beating Tim Sylvia. Because people hate Sylvia so much he is incredibly underrated and Randy is going to have a tough time getting in on him. Remember his previous go round as a heavyweight the larger heavyweights like Josh Barnett and Ricco Rodriguez were the guys he had an extremely tough time with. I would never say never when it comes to Randy Couture, but I have a feeling he is going to be eating Sylvia's jab all night.

You are joking right?

Flying armbar?

of course Im kidding, Sylvia couldn't get himself in a toe hold

I got the same except for Franklin, you can see all of mine at toddyeakle.com

Yes I kind of agree with you, I am just hoping Couture wins more or less even though I really don't care for either of them. I don't think he is underrated because he is hated but because he never tries to finish any of his fights. He never tries to make a statement. He is pretty content staying the champion. Not that I would'nt be. And why the hell is he always sucking his gut in. He's like 30ft tall, does he want perfect abs?

By the way I am always looking for new dating sponsors, how is that program working for you....Dating Gold

Just curious, what do you think will happen with Sylvia / Couture? I really have no idea what to expect in that match.

I'd love nothing more then for Couture to win, but I don't know. The whole reason he dropped down was because the big heavyweights gave him problems, now he wants to take on one of the biggest ever?:error

Randy says he had a lot of personal problems going on when he retired(divorce, etc..) and that he's back in shape and better then ever. I've seen other fighters mention that he's still just as good as he ever was even at 43.

KO from Tim or a decision for Randy is about the only way I can see this fight going. Guess we'll have to wait until saturday night and see.

Apparently he does want perfect abs that's why he tested positive for steroids in the first place. He admitted he took the 'roids because he was self conscious of his build after he originally won the belt from Ricco.

Silvia by KO against Couture

Randy, God bless his soul, I am a fan forever, will lose.

Look at who has given Randy problems in the past. Riccio and Barnett, both very big men. At least Josh Barnett was back then.

Tim was able to hold off Jeff Monson, an ADCC Champ, and noted grappler.

I dont' think Randy can pull this one off.

I think you mean Rickson Gracie by flying armbar. :2 cents:

I would love to see Couture take out Sylvia .....but i do not think thats gonna happen.

I really want to see how Hughes and Franklin bring it after their previous losses. Would love to see those 2 come out angry and ready for some vengeance....gonna be a great night ! :thumbsup

bump 4 u

I concur...

I am getting fucked up drink wise for this UFC.

Anyway, I am going with all the fighter who have califlower ears.

I just got my first califlower budding on my right ear after four years of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu/Grappling.

Couture is a bit old to be fighting, no?

I hate tim silvia. I hope Mirko cro cop is gonna take him out when he has the chance to fight him. I think he's the only one right now that can do the job.

Hit me up on ICQ, let's chat :thumbsup 286563744

ok I sent you a message Brandon

I hope Rich can get out of this one without braking something
Couture is going down
Not sure about Hughes, but I'm sure it will be a great fight.

Can wait to watch !!!!!

Well Sylvia is gonna land a lot of stiff jabs and Couture is going to try and take him down but I think most of his shots will be stuffed because of Sylvia's reach. Most likely Sylvia will pull out a decision and Couture's face will be hamburger. That said I am still going for Couture. I don't think Sylvia is that good of a fighter. There just hasn't been any competition in the heavyweight division.

Amost the same time in for me, and I have NO Collie ear. Fuck that.

It's becoming the next uber elite thing to have, now that all the newbs are wearing the Tapout shirts, and all the FOKAI Gear.

4 years of wrestling, 2 years competitive MMA and nothing to show for it! I had a large swelling once last year and I squeezed it till it popped before it hardened. So still nothing to show for it. :Oh crap

And I am gonna definitely be pulling for Randy. I just can't bet against him. As for Franklin / Mcdonald, I'd love to see the Athlete pull the upset but Rich is gonna be hungry as hell. I really don't think he was at his best during the Silva fight so he's gonna come on strong.
Matt Hughes is gonna take this as well.

Sylvia
Hugues
Franklin
Kampmann
Sobral
Hamill
Fitch
Tibeau

If this isn't like the last pride, chances are that 100 % of my guys are gonna win :P

Hoping Couture wins.

See no reason why Hughes and Franklin won't get back to their winning ways.

Sylvia isn't under rated... he's was the best in the UFC... it's the UFC heavyweight division overall that was very weak.

Watch with the pride guys comming in how things are gonna change.

Crocop Heavy
Rampage Light Heavy
And Silva is already champ...

Josh Barnett could have gave some show to Sylvia thought... we'll see how the next UFC goes :)

Be happy you don't have one of those huge growths behind your ear like Mark Coleman was rocking during the Shogun fight. It looked like he had an alien trying to break out of the back of his head...

Actually he is underrated...he gets next to no respect even though he is the UFC champ. I'm in agreement that Crocop is going to kick his head into the cheap seats but that doesn't change the fact the Sylvia is an excellent fighter who no one thinks has any skills. Shit he nearly slapped a triangle on Jeff Monson, and he's an ADCC champ.

Everybody who knows anything about MMA actually respects him... stupid US fans who booh every 2 minutes are only voting for their favorite fighter anyways.

I bet the odds of Couture winning must be arround 1:5... something like that.

1:5 odds of loosing agaisn't Couture ? Do you call that respect ?

Actually Tim Sylvia is currently -275 at most books...that is not respect.

okay so you bet $1 and you get back like 30 cents on the dollar or something like that...

I am not a big gambler. So -275 means Sylvia is the underdog? All respect to Randy, but I might wanna check out some online betting sites for the first time if that is the case. A Sylvia win should be a decent payout.

No randy is the massive underdog.

No it mean that you would have to bet $275 to win $100. I love Randy but those odds should be somewhere around -600.

I agree with the Profit on this one. Silva is despised by everyone, and his fighitng skills ALWAYS get underrated.

Last two, this is what was said about him.
Arlovski - Knock him out
Monson - Take him down and submit him
Vera - Will knock him out... Vera?! He hasn't even beaten a contender in the UFC. Knockout Silva?

I don't know ... I personally don't like Sylvia... his fighting style. He's not exciting at all. That's the main reason why people don't like him.

I have a feeling randy will loose. Not because he does not have the talent, but because hes past his prime
