Any thoughts?

Any chance of the Sylvia fight being decent?

Does Franklin have a hope in hell?

The HVW8 fight will be good once Vera cracks doofus's fauxhawk right off his head.

Ace does have a snowball's chance but I'm hoping for another Silva MT clinic.

There are a couple other interesting fights I'm hoping they'll show. Okami vs. McDonald and Maia fights should be interesting.

Silva vs Franklin - I'm going with Silva. I actually think Franklin's has a pretty good chance though. I like them both so it's hard to pick one to root for.

Brandon Vera vs Tim Sylvia - Please God don't let Sylvia win. I can't stand the idea of Sylvia being considered a top contender again. If Vera isn't an idiot and has been working hard he should beat Sylvia. And I always enjoy watching guys with mohawks lose.

Okami vs MacDonald - MacDonald is a crafty fighter but I think Okami should be able to outmuscle him. If he learned anything from his loss to Franklin he should start pushing fights and become a really good fighter.

Oh ya, I'd like to add that having Evans vs Bisping as the main event at UFC 78 is a freakin' joke.

Silva over Franklin- I like them both too, but I just don't think that Silva is going to lose any time soon.

Vera over Sylvia- I agree with the others thoughts about Sylvia

Don't really know about the other fights.

Can't wait to watch it tomorrow. Disappointed that Vera lost to Sylvia but I'll get over it

Just got in and caught the 2nd round- was that an MT clinic or what?!

Absolutely schooled him.

Silva was amazing. Even when he stood there and put his hands down and just dodged Franklin couldn't do anything about it. I think Franklin is a good fighter but Silva is clearly on another level. It's amazing to think of how much difference there is between them.

Now that's a nice combo.

Holy smokes! I half expect to see numbers materializing above him for a combo bonus (like in Mortal Kombat).

I would hate to be on the receiving end of that one!

He is indeed...a bad baad man! With manners and class!

Agreed. The trash talking is fun to see sometimes, but both those guys post-fight were absolute class.
