My Take Radio

Son­nen has become one of favorites and while I feel he may lose I am not going to dis­pute the fact that it will be a war.

Can’t put a pre­view with­out my picks. Red & Bold are mine of course

Main card

  Ander­son Silva © vs. Chael Son­nen– Silva will win but I guar­an­tee it will be a wild fight.
  Jon Fitch vs. Thi­ago Alves–Huge fan of Alves and feel he matches up well with Fitch.Think Shields should fight the win­ner before get­ting GSP
  Clay Guida vs. Rafael dos Anjos-I can never count out Guida and he deliv­ers awe­some fights.
  Matt Hughes vs. Ricardo Almeida–While I think Hughes has a shot and can win. Almeida is hun­gry and younger than Hughes which can be a fac­tor.
  Roy Nel­son vs. Junior dos Santos-Nelson has grown on me and how can I not love his hum­ble­ness. The guy is hun­gry for a title shot (no pun intended hahaha)

UFC 112 is live this week­end on PPV from Abu Dhabi. You can catch the count­down Fri­day 4/9 at 11pm est. on Spike TV.Here is a pre­view of the count­down show.

UFC will invade Yas Island,Abu Dhabi and make his­tory as the 1st out­door MMA event. With 2 title fights and 2 UFC leg­ends meet­ing along with other great fights on the card, the UFC looks to con­tinue expand­ing it’s reach on a global scale. Keep up the great work guys.

I had the chance to watch the Spike VGA Awards this past week­end and while I did not like cer­tain aspects of the award show or some of the win­ners, I did enjoy some of the trail­ers for the upcom­ing titles. As a gamer and an MMA fan, one of the titles that got my atten­tion was of course the newest UFC game which was intro­duced by “Street Cer­ti­fied” Kimbo Slice. The trailer was sim­ple in exe­cu­tion and wasn’t overly styl­ish, but that my friends is the  appeal of the UFC game. It’s not meant to be pretty - but it is meant to be the most accu­rate rep­re­sen­ta­tion of MMA today. With smoother graph­ics and even more real­ism this game will be a wor­thy follow-up to the pre­vi­ous UFC Undis­puted. EA may have EA MMA in the near future, but right now the fight game belongs to the UFC.
