UFC 125 - Edgar vs Maynard/Brandon Vera vs. Thiago Silva


Recommended Posts

It's a shame that Nelson got cut but the HW picture is a bit murky at the moment. There is one clear contender in JDS and the rest is... a mess. Carwin is injured and coming from a loss, Cro Cop is coming from a loss and awful performance, Mir won but did an awful job at that and the rest are pretty much irrelevant at the momento.

"Grispi: Aldo Can Be Knocked Out, Choked Out"

All I can say... LOL. I know he's doing his part in hyping up the fight but he will get smashed into pieces. He hasn't fought anyone remotely on the level as Aldo...

LOL but on the other side of the coin it would be a MASSIVE upset if he did beat him

Sure. But unlike Lesnar, Aldo has no obvious weaknesses. He's only been beaten once and has completely dominated every other opponent. Of his 8 fights in the WEC, only 1 has gone to decision and that Faber fight was a complete beatdown. Faber couldn't even stand on his leg at the end of the fight.

He's one of the best P4P fighters in the UFC and if he moved to LW, he would do unspeakable things to Frankie Edgar/Gray Maynard.

Aldo is out due to injury. This card just flopped badly. Without Aldo, it's an OK card but it's not the kind of card that the UFC wants to start the year with. I hope they find a new co-main event instead of promoting a fight to that status (who are the going to promote anyway? Guida? Diaz? Leben? LoL)

I would like Faber to fight but since Cruz is defending the title on December 16th it's too soon. Maybe give Jake Ellenberger a fight.

They took one of the best cards of the year and just took a dump all over it. Thiago Silva vs Bradon Vera was also added to the card. Both coming from losses. Probably fighting for their jobs. Same things as the Baroni vs Tavares fight. Tavares is 1-0 in the UFC MW division and Baroni is coming from 2 straight losses...

The most interesting fight on this card might not even air: Antonio McKee straight out of MFC takes on Volkmann. I'm hoping that he wins it and makes a run for the belt eventually.

Final card added to UFC.com. The moved the Vera vs Silva fight up to the main card. Way to put more pressure on 2 fights fighting for their jobs.

Main card

  • Lightweight Championship bout: Frankie Edgar © vs. Gray Maynard
  • Middleweight bout: Chris Leben vs. Brian Stann
  • Light Heavyweight bout: Brandon Vera vs. Thiago Silva
  • Welterweight bout: Nate Diaz vs. Dong Hyun Kim
  • Lightweight bout: Clay Guida vs. Takanori Gomi

Preliminary card

  • Lightweight bout: Marcus Davis vs. Jeremy Stephens
  • Featherweight bout: Josh Grispi vs. Dustin Poirier
  • Middleweight bout: Phil Baroni vs. Brad Tavares
  • Featherweight bout: Mike Brown vs. Diego Nunes
  • Welterweight bout: Daniel Roberts vs. Greg Soto
  • Lightweight bout: Jacob Volkmann vs. Antonio McKee

Josh Grispi must be ****ed. He went from co-main event to the undercard and altough he will probably win, it still puts pressure on him to keep his title shot.

Ha exactly what i was just thinking, bet he isnt happy.. Looks like an alright card, you know you're gonna get a good fight out of Guida/Gomi, plus Leben is always entertaining..

Yeah, it's alright. But that's the thing. It's the first card in 2011 in a post-WEC world. It should be amazing and it ends up being OK. :pinch: If UFC 124 ends up being as great as predicted, it will look even worse in comparison.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
