Tonight is the premier of the Countdown to UFC 134. This episode will be airing on Spike TV and should feature footage breaking down the main event between Anderson Silva and Yushin Okami as well as the co-main event clash between Forrest Griffin and Mauricio Rua. I'd also expect a quick breakdown of the heavyweight fight between Brendan Schaub and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. UFC 134 is the UFC's return to Rio and is unofficially Brazil vs the World.
Anderson Silva and Yushin Okami will meet for a second time. Okami is the last man to "defeat" Silva and is finally receiving the chance to prove that the first fight ended too soon. Anderson is fighting for his legacy as the best fighter of all time. In another rematch, Forrest Griffin and Mauricio Rua are fighting for relevancy in the light heavyweight division. Both fighters have been at the top and now need to prove that they still belong with the elite of the division. Schaub is hoping to continue to live up to his unofficial nickname "The Legend Killer" when he looks to continue his rise to the top against Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.
Join us tonight at 11PM ET for a discussion of the episode.

I just got lucky last night. I didn’t catch this story on BE, but I just so happened to put it on Spike last night after watching Jersey Shore *cough and it was just coming on. I love Andy’s outlook on the first match with Okami “I lost smiling I wasn’t the one knocked out”, and Chael’s chaeling…

very nice
Anton that paper texture is great would it be possible if you could email it to me, im working on a few minimalistic designs about movies
They have some free photoshop paper texture brushes online. You could just overlay the paper texture brush over a solid color and simply play around with the transparency/fill and placement of the texture to get your desired effect.

I would like to see Schaub
actually beat someone that is winning fights and not on a rapid descent!
If heavyweight isn't the toughest division in the UFC, then why doesn't someone that can kick their asses move to it? They don’t even have to cut weight!!
If he wins, he's earned a shot at someone high up
Brock Lesnar or Frank Mir would both be good tests for him. Failing that, if Werdum came over to the UFC that could be a reasonable fight to make as well.
Not Werdum unless you want an ugly repeat of the Overeem fight.
Mir is a great idea.
What everyone needs to do is calm down, take a deep breath, and prepare their bodies for the Thunderdome.
by lowellthehammer on Aug 25, 2011 10:41 PM EDT up reply actions
I doubt...
Werdum would give Schaub the same respect he gave Overeem. He stood with Bigfoot, and I don’t see Schaub as any better than Silva.
Nice av, btw. Great line in a great movie.
I think Carwin, Mir, Nelson, Reem would be a good next step and if he wins, then loser of Velasquez/JDS. A fight I would love to see but probably would never get to would be Schaub vs. Josh Barnett.

If this turns into a Jitz match
I’m giving the advantage to Forrest. I really don’t think Shogun can use a halfguard sweep on Forrest.
Follow me on twitter @MattRoth512
Forrest already showed he's better at getting top position
and is good enough defensively to prevent Shogun from sweeping with any regularity. He’s the favorite in my mind.

he’d also be able to grapple for the full 3 rounds and not be gassed completely. I hope Shogun catches him early and puts him out, but I really think hes going to look terrible and Forrest is going to get a stoppage or dominant decision.
You want Shogun to win? I thought everyone was rooting for Forrest.
If heavyweight isn't the toughest division in the UFC, then why doesn't someone that can kick their asses move to it? They don’t even have to cut weight!!
Shogun has tons of fans
I hope Forrest puts him away myself, but especially among Pride fanboys Shogun is popular
