RE: UFC
Yep i'm back chapo's!!! here's how i see things goin tonight???
Potential fight of the night*
James Wilks v Claude Patrick Difficult to call as both fighters are relatively new & are on good runs especially Patrick who's on a 11 run win streak albeit mostly domestic fights in Canada & he's got a good submission record, but Wilks has a good mix of victories. Patrick-UD
Cheick Kongo v Travis Browne Cheick has been dissapointing on some occasions especially in big fights but Browne is the perfect opponent for him, Browne 10-0, 8 KO's tells you this is a standup war. Browne has the height & possibly reach but i'm gonna go with Kongo due to his experience. Kongo-KO Outside bet*
John Hathaway v Mike Pyle* This will be a great fight. as Pyle is a submission specialist & Hathaway is excellent on the ground, i see this as a very even 50-50 with the win coming by obviously submission, i'm not one for goin with home fighters just because but i believe Hathaway is set for a bit future. Hopefully Hathaway-Sub/G'n'P
Dan Hardy v Carlos Condit* Both fighters have started well in the UFC. Condit Has a good mix of sub's & KO's & only been the distance 3 times, Hardy is primarily a striker & has a few sub wins & gone the distance 11 times including with GSP, he will need to respect Condit & not get carried away with the crowd. I think with the intensity Hardy fights at & the ground skills he will have learnt since the title fight & the will to survive that he showed against GSP will see him come though this. Hardy-UD
Michael Bisping v Yoshihiro Akiyama* Bisping's UFC career wins consists of TKO's & split/unanimous decisions with no actual knock outs. He's obviously a work rate & pressure fighter who has a decent takedown defence. Akiyama has a good mix of sub's & KO/TKO's, he also is a Judo & Karate black belt so can match if not better Bisping in every situation. This will be only Akiyama's 2nd fight in 15 months & 1 fight in 12 months against Chris Leben showed in his fitness albeit at 4:40 in the 3rd, i'm sure his camp has been good but an actual fight is not replicable & the pace Bisping will set may take it's toll in round 2. Bisping will need to show full respect to Akiyama but this is Mike's weakness when he stands off in the big fights, i think he'll need to worry more about the Judo as he won't want to be on the ground as most of his point scoring will come from punch's & kick's so he'll need to keep Akiyama at bay with his own K-1 skills & look to go in & out with some combos. I feel given to quality & skill of Akiyama, this is the biggest fight of Bisping's career, & for me if he's goin to win he need's to show he can move well & side step his opponent!!! if he can do this then who knows??? this is another very even fight. Bisping-Split decision

I know sweet F.A about torrents etc (damn my feeble knowledge) but i usually can get a watchable stream...Its just a pain if you lose connection and have to find another one during an exciting fight (like the lesnar v Carwin fight when i missed the finishing blows )

8pm-11pm, try myp2p.eu, this is normally good for football but i've never tried to watch UFC on here. It's listed but it only say's Bisping v Akiyama, although the time is the full length.

RE: UFC
The clocks ticking!! lol Can't wait for tonight!
Wilks V Patrick - Patrick by Split Decision for me.Think he's the better fighter but Wilks will be driven on by the home crowd...So i think he'll give a decent performance.But still not good enough to win for me.Sorry J.
Kongo V Brown - Can't call this.Kongo is an established Heavyweight fighter but falls short of world class standard.Defeats to Velasquez and Mir are no disgrace and he will be a good yardstick for Browne to test his skills against!Browne has a good KO record so that is just gonna sway me to choose him. Browne by KO
Hathaway V Pyle - One word Hathaway.Up and coming star in my eyes and watch him destroy Pyle! Hathaway by KO.
Hardy v Condit - Dan Hardy one of my favourite UFC fighters i take to KO Carlos Condit on his way to rematch with GSP.Hope he does it in style and gets his ground game in order to face Georges. Hardy by KO.
Bisping v Akiyama - What can i say about The Count!I believe in this guy! lol I think he's gonna get his hands on the Middleweight belt before long..Therefore i take him to beat Akiyama in an entertaining match up.Akiyama is no joke and it won't be a walk in the park!Quality fight in store.Bisping by UD.
Cant wait for fight time
Im not sure what your best bet for tonights show is AV probs Myp2p like Mitchell says.
He usually knows his stuff mate
