Silva claims that he isn't interested in the LHW belt, cause he's a Machida nut hugger and they share secrets.
someone needs to fabricate some friction between them. Machida would jack Silva up, though.

Might want to pick up showtime soon. Dexter starts in around a month.

Silva looks surprisingly big right there.

Its the weight in. They are both 205, Forrest hasn't put his water weight back on, and Silva hasn't either for that matter.

I meant in terms of frame. I expected Forrest too look noticeably heavier. Silva looks to be the same size as Rampage.

I would imagine Silva also tried to put on a little more bulk for this fight knowing he would have to deal with Forrest's size.

I would really like to see Silva's take down defense get tested at 205. Forrest is a good challenge, which is why I am stoked for this fight, but there are some guys at 205 that I think could beat Silva if they ended up on top of him.

Kenny Florian stood face-to-face with UFC lightweight champion B.J. Penn after weighing in Friday for their lightweight title match, and he came away questioning the emotion displayed by his Hawaiian foe.
“His intensity seemed forced, and he seemed a little small,” said the challenger from Dover, Mass. “I am ready to go five five-minute rounds, and we will see tomorrow night if he is ready too.”
The season one alumnus of The Ultimate Fighter truly believes he will walk out of the Octagon with the lightweight championship belt around his waist. His preparation complete, Florian is content that he has done everything in his power to be ready for Penn (13-5-1) in what will be the biggest fight of his career.
“I sacrificed a lot more than B.J.,” said Florian after the weigh-in. “BJ may have done a lot to get ready for this fight, but I doubt he did more than me. I have dotted all my I’s and crossed all my T’s, I am ready to go.”

Does anyone else not like Florian or is it just me? Something about the guy. Don't know what it is.
BTW, my bets for this event - I took BJ at -240 and Almeida at -180.

I dont't care for him all that much. He seems to be a pretty smart guy though fwiw...

parley?
Posted on 8/8/09 at 6:38 pm to LSUtigahs28
I wish. I bet on Sportsbook but it doesn't let me parlay the fights for some reason so I have to do individual bets. Do you know of a site that lets you parlay the fights?
Posted on 8/8/09 at 6:41 pm to etm512
I only fake bet on centsports, which does allow parlays.

This sounds interesting. Unless the blogger is leaving out some important details, sounds like Leites controlled the fight and positioning the entire time:
Thales Leites vs. Alessio Sakara
Round one: Leites, not surprisingly, tries the takedown early, but Sakara stuffs it. Leites gets a takedown at 3:00, but trips and Sakara escapes back to his feet. Unlike his last match against Anderson Silva, Leites is pushing most of the action. Crowd booing, but it's not Leites' fault. FanHouse scores the round for Leites 10-9.
Round two: Leites gets the takedown 30 seconds into the round. Leites tries to take his back, Sakara rolls into him and then gets upright. Leites timed a Sakara elbow perfectly, ducked levels and took him down again. Again, Sakara escapes. Sakara lands a punch and Leites falls to his back, but was likely just trying to draw Sakara in. Sakara follows him down for a second, but then gets back to his feet. Leites scores another takedown with a minute left. Leites mounts briefly but Sakara bucks him off. Leites gets mount again. Leites lands a few elbows as time runs out. FanHouse scores the round for Leites 10-9.
Round three: Sakara still defensive despite likely being behind on scorecards. Crowd gets restless as Sakara shurgs off a takedown try. Sakara's strategy seems to be move in, land a punch, get back out, but it's not making for compelling theater. Leites is the one moving action forward. Ref calls time and warns the fighters to engage. That's rare. Leites immediately takes him down, takes his back. Sakara bucks him off again, then lets Leites up. FanHouse scores the round for Leites 10-9.
Winner: Alessio Sakara via split-decision (one judge scored it 30-27 Leites, two scored in 29-28 Sakara).

God, K-Flo is such a horrible nickname.

0-2 for Penn's camp so far...they both were outworked and outmuscled.
unfortunately, i don't think Florian has the strength to do the same to Penn.
