UFC 61: Bitter Rivals

[gambit]

Arlovski in my opinon will win if he doesn't get hit in the jaw. Sylvia only beat him when he hit Arlovski in the jaw. I also think that Ortiz will dominate Shamrock. Shamrock lets his anger get in the way of things. As you've noticed on Ultimate Fighter 3.

I heard that Ortiz's knee was hurt. Anyone know if this is true?

[Andrew_Patton]

yes, tito's had his knee (ACL, hamstring and femur) all injured in training w/ his new overzealous buddy Matt Hamill (the deaf guy from TUF) he suffered a cracked femur, partially torn ACL, and Strained hamstring from Hamill, but this was months ago, and Titos pretty much able bodied now.

Thats good to hear. I'd hate to see major injuries play a part in this match.

I like Arlovski and Ortiz. Silva is an animal, but I don't know how well rounded he is. Does he have some grappling experience, I don't know for sure.

I have a feeling the Ortiz-Shamrock bout will be a quick one, which ever way it goes. I'm thinking Arlovski-Sylvia will steal the show.

Either way it shall be an interesting one.
