Welcome to Gaia! ::

Here I'll be posting upcoming MMA events ... please place your thoughts and predictions of the card ...

UFC 116
Main card
Heavyweight Championship bout: Brock Lesnar (c) > Shane Carwin (ic)
Even though I am no fan of Brock Lesnar ... and even though he is coming of a long lay-off ... I think he has never looked so good ... I believe that he will use his superior speed advantage to take Carwin down ... the thing is Lesnar will probably have to make his move in the openg rounds ... if this fight gets dragged into deeper water ... then Carwin might take it ...

Middleweight bout: Yoshihiro Akiyama > Chris Leben
I believe that "Sexyama's" striking is the crisper of the two ... as well as his ground game is much more refined ... thought Leben is coming off a big win at TUF 11 Finale ... his style is all straight forward ... Akiyama only needs to angle off ...
