Heel vs. Heel – UFC 117 Predictions

I was about to lead off this preview by calling UFC 117’s main event between middleweight champion Anderson Silva and challenger Chael Sonnen “one of the most anticipated fights of the year,” but that cliché is becoming unusable when it comes to the UFC. Not every fight his been an absolute blockbuster, but they’re on …

There can be only one. Tonight we were treated to the 2-hour regular season finale and four, count 'em, four fights.  Factor in all the extraneous drama and it was a big night for TUF. Things start out with much discussion of Matt Mitrione and the "will he or won't he" nature of his fight …
