UFC 134’s Possible Fight Card

Written on May 10, 2011 by Alvin Guerro

UFC 134 presents an exciting fight card, as five bouts were confirmed for the upcoming tournament.

The UFC 134 – which will hold on August 27 at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – is shaping up with its recently confirmed fight card. UFC 134’s latest confirmation is Anderson Silva’s middleweight title defense against Yushin Okami.

Meanwhile, Dana White said that the bout between undefeated Edson Barboza and Ross ‘The Real Deal’ Pearson is now being settled through verbal agreement. Edson Barboza recently won a Fight of the Night at his second UFC appearance, while Ross Pearson defeated Spencer Fisher at UFC 127.

Also making it’s way to UFC 134 is the rematch between Forest Griffin vs. Mauricio “Shogun” Rua. Shogun Rua will now have a chance to regain his glory after he was defeated by Forrest Griffin at his UFC debut in 2007. Last on the UFC 134 list are the Spencer Fisher vs. Thiago Tavares lightweight bout, and the undefeated Stanislav Nedkov vs. Brazilian striker Luiz Cane.

This is all predictable, none the less, as always, exciting and def press worthy fight card. Silva as always will come out on top as he was with Okami previously till Thunder took the victory by DQ, nothing has change, Silva is still as great as he was before and Okami is still just another inferior fighter in the middleweight division who just happens to be in the right place, but UFC 134 will be the wrong time. Edson Barboza is phenomenal and in my opinion, a future lightweight champion in the UFC, I dont see Pearson doing anything to derail this new phenom, his Muay Thai skills and savy ground game knowledge is at a much higher level. I have to say that Forest is an excellent fighter with great heart and competition, but he got luck the last time him and the Shogun met, he def wont be so lucky this time due to Shogun’s need to bounce back from the embarrasing defeat at the hands of Jon “Bones” Jones.
