Silva vs Okami..what do you think?


Predictions about Silva vs Okami, Shougun vs Griffin, Noguira vs Schaub

Erik Paulson:

Anderson, Griffin, Schaub

  • Silva is gonna win via front kick to the chin... perhaps...



Ole Baguio Laursen
- Whats up vince..Whats up Davao MMA Fans

Im gonna go with the statistics and say Silva is gonna win the fight, cant see him loose of his own and to be honest he is different class of fighter levels above Okami.

Griffin vs Shogun, same thing I think Shogun is different class. I just hope he has taken fight seriously, sometimes talented fighters choose to train less cos they are so talented but can beat by fighters who may not be as talented but have workked hard..Shogun by KO 2nd round.

Big Nog is gonna beat the shit out of Schaub, at least I hope so, different class of fighters but schaub being young and having the speed and power of youth vs older and wiser and so much more skilled but possibly worn out big Nog. I say Big Nog by sub 1st round.

My picks, i would put money on it though, whenever its a money gamble I always loose ;)


Okay, so here's what I think about the Silva v. Okami fight

Brazilian-born Silva will win over Okami, no doubt about it. Okami's "interesting" looks won't get him too far because Silva's got accumulated tricks from experience. Okami is a good fighter, but this is not his time. His last win over Silva was a fluke. Silva is faster, more aggressive, more powerful, and more accurate. Okami should keep his head away from Silva, because that's how he's going down, with a head strike knockout!


Eduard Folayang


Ill go for Silva winning Over Okami, TKO and shogun via KO. I didnt watch Schaub fights yet but I like Minotauro's submission.



  • it'll be silva over okami, shogun over griffin, im betting on sshaub only because minotauro still thinks he's a boxer...



  • I go for SILVA, SHOGUN AND MINOTAURO ..... i just have my "pulse" on them and i believe on their impressive way of subduing their opponents.


Otek Durante

Silva will prevail via knock out. Shogun will have a hard time with griffin but will win anyway. Minotauro is one of UFC fighters who needs to retire. Schaub's endurance will do the trick.


Silva and Okami: It's gonna be Silva on the 2nd rd via KO.
Griffin and Rua: This is going to be a stand-up war! Rua via unanimous decision.
Nog and Schaub: Nog's gonna submit Schaub in the 3rd rd.

Palo Zachary

I have Anderson by 1st round KO in spectacular fashion, Shogun TKO 2nd round and Minotauro by 1st round armbar after getting overwhelmed.


Fidel Ta-asan Ballesteros

Its PRide FC vs the True ultimate fighter, the new breed and the last real Japanese contender..I think Okami has the best chance to dethrone the champ, he specialise in taking opponent down which silva struggled against sonnen but okami has way better submission defense..that being said I do believe pride is forever and these 3 still have lots left in their tank..silva tko 3rd round, shogun tko 2nd round and big nog via submission, guillotine


And there you go MMA Davao!!! Predictions of our MMA guests here! Have fun and lets see what happens ..as for me I will go to Buffalo Wild Wings have me some corona and chicken wings with the Azian Zing, watchin and enjoyin the fun. My predictions, Silva, Shogun and Big Nog.., its just me thanks everyone and have great MMA weekend.

Last Thursday February 24, 2011 was a blast. MMA Davao got invited to KillerBee (one of the top FM radio stations in Davao City) for a short interview with Rod Rodriguez and Chris "the face towel king" Fox. We were promoting the upcoming Smoker Fight Event come this Sunday at Almendras gym Feb 27, 2011 at 4:00pm. And man, that was a blast these guys were cool.

Kudo's to the guys and if you want to hear what happened just listen to the audio and enjoy. Shout to my sis, Shimi for making this interview possible and to her BF H.S. haha (did not ask them yet if its ok to post their names here in the blog.)

Smoker Fight 4


DECEMBER 27, 2010
ALMENDRAS BOXING ARENA
DAVAO CITY PHILIPPINES

Smoker fights have been around for a long time already, but not a lot of people know much about them. Some even jokingly guessed that smoker fights are fights held between smokers. Silly, but is an indication on how much people actually know about them.

Fighters’ clashing in a gladiator-like throwdown in basements or social clubs is the concept or idea that other people might have in their head however, Smoker fights are a great way for amateur fighters to actually compete and fight against another fighter, usually from another gym or dojo, as these types of events offer them a way to actually experience an actual match in a more toned down level of competition.
This is a common event in the states where different fighters from different gyms would compete each other on a given venue. There are no set opponents, the pairing is done during the day of the event.It one of way of preparing fighters for bigger fight. Thru smoker fights, the fighter will slowly develop ring confidence and help them control their ring jitters. Though on paper, smoker fights appears to be simply a class higher than sparring, they still offer a lot of the same excitement, danger, and experience that an actual fight would.
