Kelvin probably won't finish Anderson. Cormier couldn't. Brunson couldn't. Weidman was a lot bigger than Kelvin. Anderson still has a goodish chin imo. He still has good head movement. He is still Anderson Silva fighting a young guy who will have grown up adoring him.

Kelvin should win a fairly wide decision but Anderson is still hypnotic and Kelvin is quite inexperienced. If Anderson can get in his head and lands a few good shots to make Kelvin tentative who knows.

I assume Anderson is fairly good odds in betting?

Belfort landed some good shots against Kelvin and it didn't affect him, one of his strengths is his chin.

I'm sure Kelvin grew up admiring Belfort as well, we saw how that worked out.

kelvin vs anderson is a cool fight and i think it will be fun. kelvin is aggressive but controlled and that will hopefully draw anderson out a bit more so we get some cool striking action.

On one hand I agree, but both guys are in a class where leaving the ufc would probably significantly improve their career and bottom lines, so I am OK with them hanging around in the ufc to make no money off sponsorships and be drug tested regularly while losing to increasingly lower-ranked opponents.

Kelvin has had more career pro UFC bouts than Weidman had total pro MMA bouts at the time he fought Silva.

Javier Mendez on Cain

quote:

He’s been more enjoying time with his wife and he did an airbnb, those rentals that you rent. He’s got one in arizona that he’s fixing up to rent, so he’s been doing that and spending time with his wife and his child. He’s been doing more family stuff. He comes in the gym on a rare occasion, but he’s slowly coming back into it. He’s not jumping on board to do anything, he’s just taking his time. I know that may (13) is something they’re looking at, but realistically cain is not gonna fight on short notice. He’s not gonna fight without an eight-week training camp. So I look at it like if he’s hardly ever coming into the gym now because he has other business things he has to take care of, I don’t see him fighting (soon). I see him fighting two times this year, but I don’t see him fighting in may because of the time frame

I think he's saying Cain bought a house to flip it, except that instead of selling he'll retain ownership and generate profit over time via airbnb. I think it's nice that he has something to do since he's evidently never going to fight again.

He's going to end up a Shogun esque case of 'what could have been?' where, despite having actually had a pretty impressive career, he's also just a collection of unanswered questions.

I think belfort landed some, but didn't land any clean or flush, maybe one. Kelvin has very underrated head movement and enters and different angles.

He was getting clipped but always as he was moving.

Anderson is extremely accurate but Bisping did show he has a legitimate weakness against someone who'll pressure and throw volume.

I like this fight a lot. If silva gets stopped by Kelvin it'll be hard to argue against him getting an eliminator against Jacare or Romero while Bisping Gsp plays out imo.

Whether or not some guys are over the hill being on a streak that includes

Hendricks
Kennedy
Belfort
Silva

Is pretty tidy.

Nate Diaz is literally all the proof needed to know Conor completely redid the pay scales in MMA. He was making like 30k to show and now he can sit back and wait 5 years for a mcgregor trilogy fight and make 10x more when then fight finally happens then what he would have made taking 10 fights in the interim. Suck it father dog.

Why are you so hung up on this and why do you think 1 guy getting more famous is proof that the pay scale in MMA is completely different

Fanboyism aside, I feel like it's a true pick 'em fight. Ghost Silva is still scary in flashes and Gastelum is hyper aggressive.

Or Silva could do his party trick if Gastelum is willing and make it an unwatchable nothing.

Nate Diaz redid the payscale in MMA for Nate Diaz when he fights Conor McGregor and maybe his next fight after those ones. It changed nothing for anyone else.
