I've just recently been looking ahead at fututre UFC events and one that catches my eye with some big names and and a very good card thus far is UFC 126.

Anderson Silva vs Vitor Belfort
Forrest Griffin vs Rich Franklin
Jon Jones vs Ryan Bader
Miguel Torres vs Antonio Banuelos

Thats just the Main card We'll see what other matches they add.
So far looking like a great card.

This is one card I'm really excited for. I havent been interested like this in a while. Thank you UFC for helping peek my interest.

Yeah def great card, I don't think Belfort is going to end Silva's run. Beflort hasn't beaten any big names since the Randy Couture fight in 04 and hasn't fought over a year and a half which could also affect his performance. Forrest and Rich are going to slug it out which they may get fight of the night. Jon Jones vs Ryan, I like Jon but is his cockyness getting to his head.

Lindland was a top 5 middleweight when Vitor KO'd him stone cold in about a minute on one of the Affliction cards. He also KO'd Franklin in the 1st round. Say what you want about Rich but the man is still a legit fighter. Being out for over a year will affect Vitor a little, but I doubt he gasses because the fight will stay upright the entire time. Anderson has not faced a striker even comparable to Vitor in the UFC yet. Don't sleep on Vitor.

I am not sleeping on Vitor but don't forget Silva is as deadly striker he trains with Freddy roach plus Silva ground game is sick too. I just don't see Silva losing this fight. Remember Silva destroyed Franklin twice and Franklin hasn't been relevant since then.

I also wonder if Anderson is nearing the end. His striking did not look up to his standards in his last fight. I favor Anderson, but I'm just saying its no gimmee fight.

I was talking that with one of my buddies who is an Anderson Silva fan just like me but I think he is past his prime and is coming to an end soon.
