Hey guys,
Here’s the thing, UFC 117 is on tonight and I can’t wait to see the results to the fights, you have Clay Guida who is looking in the best shape of his career.
Earlier this week on ESPN, Clay’s team mate Rashad Evans, went on to say that,
“Clay’s been training really hard with Greg Jackson, and has been running up the Sand dune hills with someone on his back”
That stuff ain’t easy…
Next up is Hughes vs Almeida….
I’ll be honest I don’t know much about Almeida except the dude hits hard. Hughes, known for his wrestling and his legendary status in the UFC…. I just think he’s taken too long off to fight again, though he does look in great shape.
But let’s really skip forward into my favourite bout… Anderson “The Spider” Silva vs Chael Sonnen….
So Chael Sonnen, mouthed off for ages about how Silva is a fraud, a fake, etc….
Now let’s have a look at Sonnen’s fight record, He’s been submitted more times than you can think, he’s had one UFC fight at 205lbs…….. This dude doesn’t have the foggiest of whats happening.
He has great wrestling and a big mouth. That’s about it.
Now let’s go over to the Spiders corner.
Mental toughness is his strength this guy doesn’t care how strong you are, he’s usually won the fight in his head before he even steps into the cage. The man’s striking ability is 2nd to none and I can say that because I did Muay Thai for years. His kicks are dangerous, his clinch is one of the few fighters in MMA that do it properly to deliver sufficient damage and control, MANY fighters get this wrong.
His Brazilian Ju-jitsu is from the Nogueira camp. These guys aren’t a joke to have a black belt from them is a pretty big deal.
So Chael has got something coming up and it looks like the spider is gonna put him to sleep.
Let’s see how this fight goes.
Adil
