The most talked about topics in the Sherdog forums this week were
Saturday’s two biggest mixed martial arts events: UFC
135 and
Bellator 51. However, fans also took time to discuss some of
the recently announced matchups for cards further down the
line.
Debate: Jones vs. “Rampage”
The popular opinion is that Jon Jones will successfully defend his UFC light heavyweight title against Quinton Jackson in the main event of UFC 135. In a change of pace, this thread not only asks who you think will win, but also whom you want to win.
The Legend Versus the Heel
In the co-main event of UFC 135, it's a battle of new school versus old school, as Josh Koscheck confronts former long-time UFC welterweight champion Matt Hughes. Koscheck is large betting favorite leading into the bout, but the contest is not quite as clear in the fans’ eyes. Whom do you like in this bout?
Heavyweight Bangers Collide at UFC 135
Also at UFC 135, Mark Hunt will be duking it out with Ben Rothwell in a battle of heavyweight sluggers. Here fans talk about the fight itself, as well as both fighters’ future in the division.
Bellator Season 5 Bantamweight Tournament
The UFC isn’t the only major promotion in action this weekend, as Bellator will be kicking off its season 5 bantamweight tournament. In this thread, fans discuss the tournament as a whole and breakdown the individual matchups.
Matchup: Cung Le vs. Wanderlei Silva
