Let me break down the main event:
-Silva will probably destroy Okami
-Rua vs. Griffin is decent, but not must-see TV
-Big Nog vs. Shaub is ok, but no reason to buy a PPV
-Not interested in the rest of the main card either.
Not trying to troll here, but I feel the same here as I did for the last card I skipped (Rampage vs. Hamill). Although I'll probably walk by a sports bar during the 30 seconds that the main event will probably last.

Well i think Okami poses a very credible threat to Anderson, Rua-Griffin will be very good too. Barboza Pearson should be awesome too and Palhares gets to rip one of Millers Limbs off but I know what you mean, its not as epic as you would imagine for the first card in Brazil in years. I am excited for it but I can understand why you wouldn't be.
This is me on the fence

Well I think this Card is going to Deliver. I see a finish on almost every fight.

Im guessing you are alone.
Silva vs Okami- Who cares if Silva should win? He was favored in every fight but I love tuning in to see how dominate he will be
Rua vs Griffin- This could turn out to be a 3 round war
Big Nog vs Schaub- How many fights has Nog been in that arent entertaining?

You're not really on the fence if you're wearing Brazil colors.

Ed Soares is the man, he gets to hang out with some of the best fighters, not to mention the P4P king. Plus he is the best known manager out there. When I went to the expo at UFC118 he had more security than the fighters, and ppl really were swarming him. Dudes a celebrity and all he does is translate bad and collect checks, the man is epic.

Are we really calling Okami a wrestler?
And yes in the 7 rounds that Silva faced elite wrestlers in Sonnen & Henderson, he lost 5 of them.

If Okami is a true wrestler as you say, then I'm very interested in watching this fight. (Don't think he is and will not be able to take Silva down)
Silva beat Sonnen because Sonnen's submission defense is equal to that of my 4 year old daughter. And if Henderson was smart enough to not stand with Silva like he did in round 2, he woulda beat Silva.

How did Silva end up on his back the first time?
People act like only wrestlers can put people on there backs....

His BJJ has shown that it out weighs any of the wrestlers he has faced. Toss in their Lutter as well and he has finshed all 3 wrestlers that he has faced using his BJJ. He might not have the greatest TDD but if you can finish the fight once a guy takes you down, does it really matter?

Hendo is a small 185, and got caught. Not the greatest pure-wrestler, good Greck, plus he got caught on the feet and choked out.
C.Sonnen, fantastic wrestler, but notorious for getting caught in triangles...lol....
Lutter..... Really....
Okami is better than all 3 if you factor in sub defense.
