3 wild guesses what I'll be watching this Sunday.
UFC 77 : Hostile Territory will be showing on
Bravo (Sky Channel 121) on Sunday at 9pm. 3 hours of woop ass cage fighting action and I reckon it's gonna be a hum dinger!!
Rich 'Ace' Franklin will be fighting
Anderson 'The Spider' Silva for the UFC Middleweight championship which is a rematch I've been looking forward to for a long time. I was shocked like you would not believe when Silva pretty much handed Franklin's arse to him back in
UFC 64. Then we have
Brandon 'The Truth' Vera facing off against
Tim 'The Mainiac' Silvia (who for some reason does not have a profile on
Sherdog?!?). For such a big dude (he's 6' 8") Tim's got some decent skills so here are my predictions.
- Franklin will almost certainly get another ass whippin. 2nd Round stoppage. He's a great fighter but Silva's skills are jumping by leaps and bounds each fight.
- Silvia will win it by judges decision.
Let's see if my predictions are as accurate as those of
Randy Couture...

Meanwhile - it would appear that England's very own
Michael 'The Count' Bisping is set to fight
Rashad Evans in
UFC 78 : Validation (at the time of this post the site was not up). It's a tough one to call but as usual...I'll definatley be routing for Mike. Both have 15 wins with 0 losses (the only difference being that Rashad has 1 draw to his name but that was against
Tito Ortiz which is a great achievement by any standard!). So way too close to call in my opinion but I'll make a prediction on that closer to the event. And the great thing is - the winner will face
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson for the UFC light heavyweight championship. How cool would it be to see an Englishman win it??
Either way - it's nice to see that the
UFC is getting the coverage it deserves as opposed to being called a "blood sport". You gotta remember, these guys are skilled professionals who train hard constantly. Not just random dudes off the street that love to have "the off".
