Pretty decent card. I'm actually looking forward to seeing Couture and Coleman fight. Marquardt vs. Sonnen is intriguing as well.

 

[AKIRA]

Its either gonna be very boring or very interesting seeing this fossils fight. I am hoping they both come in 100% and possibly energized to be just for the fact that they are fighting each other.

In interviews, Randy spoke about wrestling Coleman. If its just a wrestling match and not an MMA, then I wont be happy. I know if one of them secures position, there will be ground n pound, but if we get 3 rounds of 2 guys constantly looking for that position, were fucked.

I thought Kos was fighting?

I thought Kos was fighting?

He got injured and Swick took his place.

 

[tballz]

I gotta give it to Couture.

 

[MCx2]

Yeah, Couture will more than likely outwork Coleman to a decision.

 

[MtR]

I'm disappointed in this card. I love Couture but Coleman is waaaay done. Marquardt/Sonnen could be decent if Nate doesn't put him away early and I think the Serra/Trigg fight might be something to watch but nothing groundbreaking.

Coleman didn't look horrible in his last fight and apparently he's picked up and moved to Vegas for this training camp. Randy's chin has looked a bit suspect in his last few outings and I think if Coleman can get Randy on his back for a spell and unleash some of that patented GnP, it could be nighty night for old Randy. I still think he'll grind out a decision, but I don't think it's as open and shut as most do. Same with Marquardt/Sonnen. Chael has looked pretty awesome in his last few, especially manhandling Okami for 3 rounds. Nate definitely has the better all around game but Chael is such a strong wrestler and has a good enough gastank to make it interesting. Looking forward to the "Angry Midget" vs. "Tramp Stamp" too. I'd like to see Serra get a big win, hopefully by spectacular KO.

I'm definitely not saying that Randy is going to simply walk all over Coleman but I think Coleman trying to grind out a decision would be a terrible mistake (reference the Rua fight). I do agree that Randy's chin was suspect and that could be used to Colemans advantage given the situation you described.

Sonnen is a stud, no doubt. I just don't see Marquardt losing right now but of all the fights on this card I think this will be the most entertaining and probably showcases the best fighters on the card AT THIS MOMENT (not taking away from Coleman or Couture's resume's).

I'd like to see Serra win as well but I'm happy Trigg is back in the UFC.

randy..... did you hear wec mma is going to pay-per-view ? starting april 24 th jose aldo vs urijah faber.... in cali sacremento dome.which was the place for free mma..

 

[AKIRA]

Yeah, Couture will more than likely outwork Coleman to a decision.

Exactly what I already picked.

Kind of shitty, but thinking back to Coutures recent decision, I thought differently. Vera isnt Coleman. I think Coleman will know how to get out of that clinch-to-the-cage thing better than Vera. With that, perhaps it wont be so dull after all, but you never know.

I dont see Nate losing either.

Serra vs Trigg is probably my favorite to predict. I really dont know if either of these guys have improved, so its up in the air for me and that makes it intriguing to me. Serra though.

 

[Doublebase]

I'm a big fan of Couture. He has been in this game a long time. Colman as well. I think couture's striking is better then colmans. They are both great wrestlers.
