AVP 2 Preview + UFC 79

I went to the theaters to see AVP 2 tonight and once again got about what I was expecting. I'm not going to give away the details yet, for that you'll have to wait for tomorrows review. I would also like to mention the upcoming UFC event on the 29th, as it could be a night to remember. It features the rubber match between George St-Pierre and Matt Hughes as well as the long awaited fight between Chuck Liddell and Wanderlei Silva. These fights on there own warrant massive attention, putting them both in one event is just MADNESS! I think any fighting fan even the casual ones need to see this event. I'm not saying you need to go a buy it on payperview if you don't have the cash or a satellite just go to your local sports bar and enjoy.
Though I'm not a betting man I'll give you my predictions of the main fights. I see GSP taking out Hughes, not because I'm byest since were both Canadians (though I am a huge GSP fan), GSP is just a better fighter. He lost the first match because he invested to much in a submission and left himself open for a couter submission, up until that point he was dominating. In their last fight it wasn't even a contest a he got the TKO with ease. I hope he shuts Hughes down on the ground if he beats Hughes at wrestling he would prove that he is better at everything not just striking. After all he beat Josh Koscheck on the ground and Koscheck was supposed to be the best wrestler in the UFC. Anyway I see GSP winning.
In the Liddell/Silva fight I see Silva taking it for two reasons. 1 Chuck hasn't been fighting well lately and sure Silva lost his last to fights but he lost them in style they were amazing brawls against Dan Henderson and CroCop (by the way CroCop is a heavy weight and Silva is Light heavy wieght), and both times it seemed like he could have easily won as well if he landed the right strike. Both of Chucks last fights were less impressive one was a first round KO to Rampage and they other a lack luster split decision loss to Keith Jardine (a fighter who isn't even talked about as a future belt contender he's just another fighter). And 2 Silva is a better fighter, he's fought and beaten the best of the best and did it in a far more impressive manner. For the most part Chuck is just a puncher he keeps throwing until one connects the problem with this style is he leaves him self far to open when he throws his wide hooks. Silva is well versed in both BJJ and various forms of striking. He is an excellent puncher and has one of the deadliest tai-clenches in the sport. He is more well rounded and in my opinion Chuck will get KO'd quickly.
So that's my predictions and I will post my review tomorrow. Also I'll do a recap of the fight on the 30th for anyone who misses it.
