People are actually picking Weidman in the main event?? Silva is going to win this one with EASE.
I'm going with Rousey as well, but God I would love it if Tate snuck away with the win.
I'm also looking forward to the "Loser Leaves Town Match" between Leben and Hall. Hopefully it's the last time I have to sit through a Chris Leben fight.

Silva is going to whip this dude's ass something fierce. Rousey/Tate will be a good fight.
I'll be watching this one for sure.

I can't pick a guy in the main event but I'm sorta leaning Weidman.
He won the first round and finished Silva in the 2nd in that first fight. Silva clowning around isn't a factor since he did that in every other fight too.
Rousey can get bent though. Not gonna happen but I wouldn't be mad to see her lose.

The dancing around and counter punching is his style. It didn't work that time.

Anderson is still definitely the easy pick to make, but I feel Weidman has more up his sleeve than he showed last time against him. He was lucky enough to get the win against him last time - mainly due to Silva clowning around - but if anything, I feel this will motivate Weidman even more than it would motivate Silva. Weidman wants to prove it wasn't a fluke & I still feel that Silva doesn't really want to be the champion again; he had a great reign & doesn't need to be a champion again to be one of the best the MMA world has ever seen. Weidman needs the win a lot more than Silva.
The easier pick is Rousey. She's winning. Round one. Armbar.

The dancing around and counter punching is his style. It didn't work that time. here's the thing he didn't even counter punch like he normally does he got one little weak kick and that's it and maybe one or two other punches

I think Silva takes his title back, and Rousey finishes Tate off quickly again, but I'm not placing bets on those.

It's hard to pin the entire fight on Silva not taking Weidman seriously.

Uriah Hall needs to win. UFC needs more Uriahs. Hall, Faber, Heep, etc.
