If Okami by some small chance manages to win would it be the biggest victory for a Japanese fighter in the UFC?

I think it would be the biggest upset in UFC history. It's not every day you see the P4P best in the world lose. That said, I think Okami can do it. He will take Anderson down, and I think he can keep him there. Okami and Sonnen are the two people with the best chance at defeating Anderson at 185, and they train together.

I didn't see the slip until someone posted it on YT. Dana was bitching before that video was on the internet.

Even if that hadn't happened, there are lots of fights where a guy's shorts are riding up or down because of the grappling. So you know it's going to happen at some point. Also who would want to get triangled or even in a tight guard by a guy in a speedo? I don't think it's homophobic to not want a guy's near naked crotch wrapped around your face.

I thought it was hilarious, especially against Ebersole, but it's not something I want to see again. Would you be cool if it were just a jock strap and cup? Cuz it's not much different.

WAR SHOGUN

i have doubts about which shogun will show up, but even if he isnt at his best he should still be loads better then their first fight. i think he'll light forest up!

Spoiler

[polyh3dron]

Ain't nobody KOing Forrest. I don't think it is possible.

[TheKaeptain]

I really want forrest to lose but him upsetting Shogun in Shoguns home country is too LOL worthy.

[polyh3dron]

that was not a fucking KO, that was Forrest ragequitting.

 

[Chamber]

If Shogun loses, send an ambulance to my house.

[ldcommando]

Yes, this will be my first live event. Hype reaching critical levels.
WAR BRASIL!!!!!

 

[akachan ningen]

The way Sonnen talks about Okami, I'd say he has a very good chance of winning.

 

[Norml]

Okami won't make it out of round 1.

Okami is better but so is Anderson.

His striking has never been anything special.

the ppl talking themselves into okami winning are like when ppl got hyped into thinkin hardy had a shot at winning the ww strap.

this.

I sometimes entertain the notion of an underdog challenger beating a dominant champ, like with Shields against GSP and Sonnen beating Silva, but I don't see any possible scenario based on reality where Okami wins other than Anderson having gotten old overnight and losing his speed and reflexes or having a heart attack and collapsing in the cage.

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!

I just want to see the shit storm that would happen if Anderson loses.

In a world where Fedor has lost three fights in a row, anything is possible...

but


yeah, you're right.

Shogun is that much of a favorite over Forrest? That's kind of surprising.

 

[alr1ght]

countdown on Spike in 10 minutes

 

[pseudocaesar]

Its a joke, Silva is going to dominate Okami so utterly it will be embarrassing to watch. That said... I hope he wins because I dont like Silva. Also, Shogun and Schaub are my picks.

 

[WrikaWrek]

IMO, Shogun is still recovering from the Jones fight, mentally.

if he didnt come up in chute box maybe you'd have a point.

 

[AranhaHunter]

If there's one thing I learned in MMA is that there's no such thing as "A has no chance against B".

 

[TheKaeptain]

Yeah because he looked shell shocked in the fight after the Jo...wait...

 

[WrikaWrek]

Well if you say so. I hope you're right.

Yeah because he looked shell shocked in the fight after the Jo...wait...

Shogun thought he was being underestimated by the media, then Jones comes and just beats the fuck out of Shogun like he was a nobody. That hurts.

 

[smurfx]

i want all the brazilians to lose just to see the shit storm that would cause.

Kinda like the people who thought Tito could beat Rashad, right?

 

[sazabirules]

If that happens I can't wait to see Sonnen's trolling.

I'm hoping the hurricane doesn't knock out my power early and stop me from watching this.

Go beat a parley on It. Like five bucks. If you were to win...oh my!

Sonnen can't legitimately troll anyone until he actually beats Anderson.

Then it wouldnt be trolling, it would just be plain old bragging. Which aint as funny.

I think Zombie Nog over Schaub is a worthy underdog bet personally.

Hahahaa! I love Forrest. He's such a great guy.

 

[Heel]

I think he's too slow for Schaub these days, but I'll never pick against Nog and would love to be proven wrong. Heart says Nogueria sub, mind says Schaub decision.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Schaub going to knock him out.

 

[Heel]

Schaub going to knock him out.

I hate to think that one of the greatest chins in MMA history is shot, but you could be right.

Silva all the way baby!
