UFC 147 - Silva v. Franklin 2- Brazil - June 23

I think they are going to build Miocic slowlyish. He seems like a legit HW prospect, and I don't think they would throw him to the wolves like that yet.

I meant Miocic against Russow. So that Wedum and Big Nog can fight on this card. I know Nog is coming off a loss, but him versus Nog would be a pretty good match-up. Werdum is coming off a pretty impressive win over Nelson. To me it's a bit of a slap in the face to give him Russow after that. He deserves to fight a Top 10 guy now. I guess, if Nog's still not ready, then there's really no one else available for Werdum.

Erick Silva v. Mike Pierce added to the card.

Looking like Rampage v Rua 2 for this card.

[redsrule]

I personally can't wait to see Silva against a wrestler like Pierce, who is a very tough guy. If he looks great and comes out and wins/stops him it will be even better

Go ahead and close the other Rampage/Rua thread Aaron

I guess they were the answer to the other "big fight" on the card. I personally don't care about that fight one bit to be honest.

Looks like the Shogun fight will be pushed back. Rampage is having knee surgery on both knees.

I'd rather see Shogun fight someone else anyways.

It's obvious Quinton doesn't care anymore. I understand the sentiment of wanting to have him get beat up by Shogun before sending him packing, but I feel like it's wasting everyone's time more than anything. Bader already beat him up, just let him walk and try to set up Shogun in an interesting fight.
