Not the greatest card but a decent one nonetheless,and the brazilians are some of the most passionate people around so i am looking forward to it..Here's my predicitons:
John Lineker vs. Jose Maria
Not seen much of maria but i know he has very good bjj and decent striking,but lineker will probably take this,i just think he's too strong and solid in all departments.
Lineker win via Unanimous decision
Thales Leites vs. Tom Watson
Watson beats him on the feet but leites has been out for a while and holds the advantage on the ground if he is able to take it there.I will go with watson.
Watson win via Unanimous decision
Cezar Ferreira vs. Thiago Santos
I've seen both these fighters on TUF brazil and i just think ferreira will be too good for santos despite the injury lay off.
Ferreira win via Unanimous decision.
Lyoto Machida vs. Phil Davis
Davis has a chance here make no mistake.He can take this to the ground and dominate,but machida is extremely elusive on his feet and this is a 50/50 fight for me.But i will give it to machida because of the gulf in striking ability.
Machida win via Unanimous decision.
Jose Aldo vs. Chan Sung Jung
One of my favorite fighters jose aldo takes on the korean zombie.Aldo has had the featherweight division beneath his heel for a while and i can't see the zombie changing that.Jung has decent stand up and an ok ground game but in aldo he meets a vicious striker who is almost impossible to take down.No offence to jung but i think aldo will light him up on the feet and in front of the Rio De janeiro crowd he will get the finish.
Aldo win via TKO round 4.
Thoughts?

Said it before and will say it again, they need to change the way take downs are pointed - Machida fight was stupid, clear 3 round win there for Machida, yet by some random reason of poor scoring 2 take downs in the last 30 seconds of 2 rounds with no real affect is worth more than 4.5 minutes of control and better landing. FECKING STUPID!

Only just managed catch up on it all... I actually DID think Davis beat Machida 29-28 but expected Machida to get the home decision. Machida frustrates me, so talented yet always content to do 'just enough' to win... well not this time buddy.
Not much of the card impressed me to be honest, aside from Linekar in the prelims & the ever impressive Mutante.
