Forrest doesn't have a glass chin at all. But I expect Silva to be pissed off as hell after his last 2 fight complaints. This is going to be a war bothon the standup and ground because Forrest has a good jiu-jitsu game(ask Shogun) This is not going 3 rounds at all.

Forrest does have the heart and yea he does survive you guys are right about that....but i highly doubt the spider will let him survive. The spider is goingfor the kill watch...Silva by K.O. sending Forrest back to police academy.

Vera, I read something somewhere (can't remember) that the winner of this fight would become the gatekeeper for the light heavyweight division. PersonallyI'd like to see Vera jump back up to the Heavyweight division but thats just MHO.

that's not a title people receive or that is bestowed after a victory.
it's just a phrase that means 'this is where the real competition begins'.

^^ I'm not saying Dana would dub the winner the "Gatekeeper," Heath Herring was a gatekeeper for the heavyweight division for a while. Iwouldn't be surprised if any newcomers have to get through the winner or loser of this fight.

[/h1][h1]Mousasi, Sokoudjou, Sapp and Jose Canseco set for DREAM.9tourney[/h1]
by Dann Stupp on Apr 30, 2009 at 9:15 am ET
The Japanese-based DREAM organization today announced anopen-weight tournament that features, among others, UFC veteran Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou, K-1 star Bob Sapp and former Major League Baseball player JoseCanseco.
The eight-man tournament kicks off at DREAM.9.
The event, which also features the second round of the organization's featherweight grand prix and a middleweight title fight between Ronaldo"Jacare" Souza and Jason "Mayhem" Miller, takes place May 26 at the Yokohama Arena in Yokohama, Japan.
The open-weight tournament, roughly translated as the "World Superman Championship," will continue later this summer with a semifinal round and agrand finale.
Other participants and opening-round match-ups include Sapp vs. Ikuhisa "Minowaman" Minowa, Jan Nortje vs. Sokoudjou, Gegard Mousasi vs. Mark Hunt,and Hong Man Choi vs. Canseco.
Mousasi, who will vacate his DREAM middleweight championship, will be the tournament's smallest competitor. Although he recently stated he wanted to moveup a weight class to light heavyweight, Mousasi will still be giving up more than 100 pounds to fighters such as Nortje, Sapp and Choi. He'll give upapproximately 60 pounds to Hunt, his opening-round opponent.
Canseco, meanwhile, makes his MMA debut after an MLB career that concluded with a tell-all book about steroid use in baseball (and a subsequent cold shoulderfrom the industry). Canseco, who claims to be a decorated martial artist, has been competing in exhibition boxing matches as of late. Former NFL player VaiSikahema recently defeated Canseco via knockout, and former child actor Danny Bonaduce recently fought him to a majority draw.
The full card includes:
+ - Open-weight tournament first round

Game seems pretty cool. annoying how you can be whooping the &$# out of someone then they hit you with one punch and its over. especially since you havebeen hit with that punch before and it didnt do anything. But i guess you can be kO anytime. And sucks how u can just kick and kick and even if they areblocked you will get a ko. but overall love the game .lol

UFC 101 card looks stacked.
101>100.
and how is jon jones going to be put on the undercard for 100 with the performance he had last time? albeit his comp wasnt exactly stellar.
penn/florian has me amped. i think people are forgetting about bj a bit since the gsp fight.

and Brandon's in the right weight class now. He's packed on some muscle in his last fight and that's a good sign.
I'm a fan of both Hammil and Vera, but I gotta go with my fellow pinoy.
