Review: 2012-10-13, the second fight between Phil Davis and Wagner Pradohas has not been particularly spectacular, we suggest you to watch only the (good) finish of the fight, two stars. Phil Davis ranked as the No.10 light heavyweight in the world, entered the fight with a record of 9-1-0 while the undfeated Wagner Prado had a record of 8-0-0. Their first fight ended by no contest due to an accidental eye poke (August 4th, 2012), Davis vs Prado 2 is on the undercard of Anderson Silva vs Stephan Bonnar – UFC 153. Watch the video!
No incidents at Friday’s official weigh-in at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro for UFC 153. UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva came in at 202 pounds, and veteran fighter Stephan Bonnar meet was 202 pounds.
In the co-main event, Antonio Rodrigo ‘Minotauro’ Nogueira (244) and Dave Herman (243) were just a pound apart for their heavyweight bout.
Silva comes from a streak of 16 consecutive victories, 14 of them finishes. His last match was at UFC 148 in July, when he defeated Chael Sonnen by technical knockout at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas (= Silva vs Sonnen 2). Silva has secured 25 of his 32 professional wins by knockout, technical knockout or submission, including Rich Franklin (twice) and Dan Henderson, Vitor Belfort, Forrest Griffin and Nate Marquardt. Undefeated inside the Octagon, he has not been legitimately defeated since the incredible Ryo Chonan’s flying scissor heel hook in December 2004 (video at the bottom of this post),
A lot of time has passed. Ten months. It was at UFC 140 when the right arm of Antonio Rodrigo ‘Minotauro’ Nogueira went snap, crackle and pop under the kimura of Frank Mir (= Frank Mir vs Minotauro Nogueira).
Tomorrow the 36-year-old Brazilian will make his return facing Bellator Fighting Championships, Sengoku and EliteXC veteran Dave Herman in the UFC 153 Silva vs Bonnar co-main event at the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
He is confident, really hungry and excited to fight in his country: “I’m feeling good. My arm feels strong. I’m ready to go,” he said during a pre-fight media call. “I was hungry to fight. I asked to fight in
