Wanderlei SIlva versus Rich Franklin is just one fight that will excite MMA fans Saturday night on the UFC 147 card.
The card doesn’t have too many stars featured in the scheduled bouts, but the intensity of these fights will make them worth checking out.
Let’s look at the three best matchups on the UFC 147 card.
Wanderlei SIlva vs. Rich Franklin
The main event on the UFC 147 card is the second meeting between Wanderlei SIlva and Rich Franklin, and it promises to be an exciting bout that should be full of intense fighting early on.
Silva is younger and quicker than Franklin, and he has no excuses if he loses this fight. Silva will also try to avenge his defeat to Franklin at UFC 99.
Cezar Ferreira vs. Sergio Moraes
Sergio Moraes is trying to prove he’s one of the best fighters in his weight class and will use his superior skills on the ground against challenging opponent Cezar Ferreira.
However, Ferreira is capable of preventing Moraes from taking this fight to the floor with his impressive athleticism. Look for Ferreira to win this fight in a close decision.
Fabricio Werdum vs. Mike Russow
The heavyweight bouts are almost always worth the price, and if Fabricio Werdum can jab Russow a few times early, this bout could be over quickly.
Werdum is the better boxer, and he’ll win the fight easily if he is able to move around and pick his spots when to strike. Unless his defense is poor, which is unlikely, Werdum will win this fight.
