If Akiyama fights like he did against Belcher he's going to get demolished IMO. Hopefully he's over his octagon jitters.

this is a GREAT fight for the Australia card, im so happy but ive been thinking it could be a 18+ event like in Germany, if it is I will miss out by less than a month !!! I will be the world's angriest man if that happens. well i guess i wont quite be a man yet lol ......

Silva's the favorite, but counting out Akiyama is foolish. He's not a can or give-me fight at all; he has own set of powerful hands. Should be fireworks and a knockout. Can't wait.

Wand 1st round KO! I think this is the start to a good run in the MW div for him.
