I really dont like Tito and his cocky ass attitude. I would love to see Griffin take it but it looks like a tough fight. Tito is looking really good lately. I dont know if Griffin can man-handle his size.

Im also taking Arlovski over Silva in the heayweights.

Also, Chris Leban is one tough cookie. The boy is powerful, smart and has an iron chin.

So does Luigi... i dont know if you saw it the other night out of Vegas on Spike TV... but even Ledan said he put up a great fight.

His endurance just wasnt there... but I didnt bet on him anyways. A little birdy told me that he practically broke his rib a few days before the fight. He was supposed to take a week off before the fight, but he trained "one last day".


You can see it on him too, poking out a bit

I plan on watching UFC59. IMO I think Tito wil take this fight. If Forrest wins it will be an upset. I would say this is Forrest's first "real" opponent who has been in the UFC and is a know refined fighter. I mean, just the other night when Joe Stevenson fought The Dentist, it was like Joe did not even show up. He fought very lazy and I felt like he choked and lost confidence. As for Arlovski and Sylvia, it is gonna be a fight. No way Sylvia is going to to get clipped and fall into an ankle lock again. Sylvia made the mistake of taking Arlovski lightly and I don't think he will do it again.

If I had to put money on the Ortiz vs. Griffin fight I would put it on Ortiz. I think Tito has a slight edge over forest in strength and experience. I think that Forrest has all the tools to win but Tito might be a little bit much for him. With that said, I want Forrest to win. I like him better than Tito. Forrest is more respectful and his comments are pretty funny.
As for Arlovski vs. Sylvia I have my money on Arlovski. Arlovski keeps looking better and better and has looked almost unstoppable in his last few fights. Sylvia is tough but has been less than impressive. The only thing Sylvia has over Arlovski is his height. Other than that Arlovski is better in all aspects and I expect to see Arlovski end the fight sometime in the second round.

Tito is good at mind games which is big part of the endurance shit.
