UFC 153: Silva vs. Bonnar

[Slim]

Just as long as it isn't as terrible looking as Silva/Griffin I'll be okay with it.

[The Cork]

This could be the best or worst PPV of all time depending on whether Fitch, Maia and Davis decide to stink out the joint.

Anderson/Bonnar will be close IMO. I'm probably overrating Bonnar but he's been on a hot streak plus he's never been knocked out.

 

[Dod Draper]

I love this fight. I loved UFC 101, was watching it in bed hungover after a heavy night of drinking, marked out for Anderson making a mockery of Griffin. Got a feeling something similar is going to happen here.

 

[No More Sorrow]

It would be such an awesome upset if Bonnar won, either way though i think this could end up being his last fight. If he wins it's the perfect ending to his career, and he's got nothing to be ashamed of if he does lose the fight.

Good chance Fitch will put on a snoozer, after he got KO'd in his last fight he'll just want to take Silva down and hug him for 15 minutes.

I am going to get this PPV but I am not quite sure why. Silva appeals to me but then I know the fight is going to suck, I just hope that Silva toys with him for a bit. Phil Davis is one of my favourites so I am always happy watching him fight and if they show a replay of Prado's reaction from the last fight half a dozen times it will be worth the cost of the PPV. A couple of others fights there that could be decent or could be completely boring but I hope it turns out okay.

 

[The Cork]

Some people may think it's a mismatch but so was Aldo/Koch, if anything this is a way better headliner than that.

Thinking of putting on an accumulator with Anderson, Fitch, Glover, Davis and Big Nog all winning. Thoughts?

Basically printing money.

Erick Silva is no joke, and Davis struggled a bit against Prado in the first fight, but you'd expect them to come through in dogged, ugly fights.

Let me know what odds you get b/c I might have a pop on that myself.

 

[Dod Draper]

Just checked on Paddy Power, £1 accumulator pays £4.47.

 

[The Cork]

Well, fuck.

Looks like some footy fixtures are gonna have to get thrown on there too.

 

[Dale]

Didn't think the odds for the accumulator were too bad tbh

Not gonna lie, this video gave me some good laughs. Probably one of the first videos from the UFC where it shows one of the guys going into the fight is basically fucked.
