Don't ask me why, but I see a big upset on the cards. The Brazilian lads can't keep winning at home constantly (even if Dana sets up the fights for them to do so). So gonna take a massive punt on Johnson knocking out Belfort...as I just can't see Aldo losing (yet).
They havent. Luiz Cane lost at the 1st Rio event. (Only brazilian to do so the poor bastard :pac:)
For a big loss though hes probably looking to cause a riot with Sonnen & Silva

Yeah that's why I wrote a big upset there, sorry I didn't clarify that very well.
I know he's probably right in the middle of training camp, but I hope to god Dana has flown in Chael for the event to give a ringside interview and hype the Silva fight. We all know how hot Rio crowds are in general, now imagine what it'd be like if Sonnen calls out their idol IN his hometown. :eek::cool:0 -
I see/hope Vitor will get the KO with a flurry IF he relaxes and lets his higher quality hands go..early...if he doesn't AJ will pick him up and smash him like an angry child opening a birthday present they didn't ask for...he's a monster 185er 6'2''

No he didn't. Did you watch the fight? The ref had to pull him off. He literally had to pull Palhares from the hold!
In fact, Palhares later confirmed he had done as much and apologised for it, making the excuse "I didn't think he was tapping". Bullsh*t! Anyone who saw the fight could see Drwal tapped ages beforehand.
He was then found guilty of doing it and was suspended for 90 days.We are talking about split seconds and it's not like the guy has a history of bad behaviour. If that incident makes him a scumbag then Luke Rockhold is a scumbag for hitting Keith Jardine with the last few shots before Herb Dean finally stopped the fight and Jon Jones is also a scumbag for landing repeated obviously illegal blows to Matt Hamill's face, he could have blinded him.
Blah blah blah! If my auntie had balls she'd be my uncle! I'm not talking about other fighters and other incidents, i'm talking about the Palhares v Drwal incident. Drwal screamed in pain, then he tapped furiously..... and Palhares wouldn't let go.
Then the ref jumped in and he STILL didn't let go, the ref had to pull his arms apart. if you look at the video, you can see the ref tug at Palhares at least 2 times before he lets go.

The replay is not in any way conclusive, he couldn't even see his opponent's face/hand.
Erm.......... in that link it not only says that Palhares himself apologised immediately for holding it too long, it also said even his manager said:For his part, Davis believes that perhaps his client should have released the hold a moment or two sooner
Lad, i'm getting the impression you've never seen this fight. And if you can't see in that gif that the ref tries to yank Palharres off his twice, then there's no point carrying on the conversation. 0 -
