Re: UFC 125: Revolution Edgar vs. Maynard,Nelson vs. Carwin 1/1/11

I for one don't give a **** about Edgar nor Maynard.

I almost wouldn't accept money to watch either of them fight, let alone each other.

Carwin should maul Nelson.

Don't care about the others much.

I'm always down for watching Thiago Silva fight, and I'm really excited about Gomi/Guida.

I really can't see Nelson lasting a round with Carwin. That just seems like an embarassing mismatch.

Put me in the camp that couldn't care less about seeing the Edgar/Maynard fight. I hate watching Maynard fights especially.

I'd love to see Nelson KO Carwin though I don't see it happening unless it goes to round 2 and Carwin has another "lactic acidosis" attack.

Can't wait to see Thiago again, hope he stays healthy.

Nate Diaz vs. Dong Hyun Kim is definitely my most anticipated fight on this card.

Wow, two of the most technical and well rounded guys not getting any love here.

Probably because most of us can't remember an entertaining fight involving Maynard. Technically sound fights, yes, but never worth headlining an event.

I'd rather watch Silva dance for 20 rounds than Maynard fight for 5.

Don't get me wrong, I respect their skills and I don't take anything away from them as fighters but I just wouldn't care to watch them. The fact that they're actually fighting one another makes it especially less appealing.

Styles make fights. Regardless of their past their two styles coming together will make for a very interesting fight. Maynard/Florian was a bad stylistic matchup because we all knew that Maynard was just going to lay on him and Florian wouldn't have an answer. What happened against Nate Diaz I have no idea, Maynard just didn't look like himself in that fight. Prior to that I think Maynard has had some good fights.

Now he's going against the champ, someone who just demolished BJ Penn in an exciting fight and the skill level between the two is pretty even so it should be a good war. Both guys are great wrestlers so most likely they'll be forced to stand and exchange, but because of their wrestling ability if the fight does go to a clinch it'll make it that much more interesting to see who can actually win that battle between the two.

Overall it'll be a great strategic and chess match type of fight between two high caliber opponents, I'm looking forward to it.

Both of them being great wrestlers didn't keep their first fight standing. Maynard tossed Frankie around the cage for 3 rounds. Matt Veach was able to take Frankie down last year so I don't see Maynard having a problem taking him down again.

Not to be a dink or anything, but the name of this event is actually, "Resolution." "Revolution," was the title of UFC 45. Also, I'm looking forward to Nelson/Carwin and Vera/Silva quite a bit.

The 2 fights i'm not interested in seeing are the 2 main events. I like the Frankie Edgar story and since he's from Jersey i like seeing him succeed but he's not that interesting to watch and neither is Maynard. Thats a UFC Fight Night type main event if Edgar isn't champion. Carwin should be able to crush Nelson. Nelson does take shots but Carwin hits hard. His gameplan will be interesting but if he's going to stand there and trade i dont think he's going to last long.

The Gomi-Guida fight should be exciting, the Diaz-Kim fight is prob the one i'm looking forward to the most, Baroni-Tavares doesnt do much for me and Leben always seems to have entertaining fights when he wins or loses. This isn't a PPV i'd pay money for but if its free on Spike i'd watch.

Re: UFC 125: Revolution - Edgar vs. Maynard, Nelson vs. Carwin -1/1/11

I want to see two things.

I want to see Frankie win convincingly against Maynard.

I want to see Nelson beat Carwin. I think Roy Nelson can win by UD if itt goes all three rounds. Roy is just a tough as nails fighter with skills to back it up, and if he makes it a war with Carwin I predict that Carwin will start wilting the longer the fight goes.
