UFC 103 Sopcast Channel
Saturday, September 12th, 2009UFC 103 is down live stream on mmavines.com on September 19, 2009. It is going to be a solid match between Rich Franklin versus Vitor Belfort. They are both veteran MMA champions with a pretty expansive history in the UFC. Which Franklin gets into the struggle with a record of sixty-seven victories, 4 losses, and zero draws. Vitor Bellfort comes into the UFC 103 Arena with a record of 12 wins and 5 losses.
This should be a solid fight as their expressive styles match up pretty well with each other. I would give the sharpness to Vitor Belfort just because it appears like he's on more of a winning streak and appears to have more confidence getting to the fight. Vitor has not fought in the UFC since 2005 and lost to Tito Ortiz in a split conclusion. His previous 5 before that any of discover was another exit to Randy Couture with a TKO stoppage.
Vitor Belfort just lately came back to the UFC after an extended time fighting other formations and his last actual scrap had a good engagement against Matt Lindlin. Vitor knockout Matt in the first round would really boost his confidence in his fight against Rich Franklin.
I think that Rich Franklin may be on the down side of his career. He lately had a good engagement against Vanderlei Silva in which Rich Franklin actually defeated Silva by decision. Even though he won, I think he looked a little bit sloppy in his performance. We'll have to discover how Rich Franklin does in this battle. Needless to say, he still has the skills to take care of Belfort, but I think that Belfort will end up the victor.
Some of the other struggles on the UFC 103 live stream will be:
Junior Dos Santos vs. Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic Martin Kampmann vs. Mike Swick Josh Koscheck vs. Frank Trigg Hermes Franca vs. Tyson Griffin Efrain Escudero vs. Cole Miller Jim Miller vs. Steve Lopez Rafaello Oliveira Vs. Nik Lentz Paul Daley vs. Brian Foster Tomasz Drwal vs. Drew McFedries Jason Brilz vs. Eliot Marshall Vladimir Matyushenko vs. Igor Pokrajac Rafael dos Anjos vs. Rob Emerson
On different cards, Mike Swick has been pulled out of UFC 103 on September 19, 2009, due to a concussion he got when he was sparring this last week. He landed on his back of his head and neck and suffered a pretty solid concussion. It looks like EliteXC fighter Paul Daley will supplant Swick in the struggle against Martin Kampman. Martin Kampman is on a roll of late and looks good against any of the champions at 170. Paul Daley said I have a handful getting from elite XC to the UFC.
The undercard of Dos Santos vs Crocop should be a good engagement. Pro-cop has passed to the wayside since he came over from Pride. In fact in his last engagement, he only won because he poked his adversary in the eye and attacked before the ref could even stop the scrap. Obviously the ref didn't see the eye poke. Most spiders though it typically stopped when they poke someone in the eye, but not Crocop. He attacked Al-Turka when he couldn't even discover. What a cheap scrapper Crocop is. I think he was just so determined for a deliver the goods that he didn't care whether he you want in a cheap style or not. I hope he gets his face wiped on the mat by Dos Santos.
