The Best Team in Europe?
Many of you are probably thinking… what the *&%! is this guy on about? You are probably thinking: What about Man U or Chelsea? What about Barca or Real Madrid? Scratch that. Even as you rack your brain trying to understand how I could have made such a grievous oversight, a fair number of you are probably trying to figure out which of the world’s football leagues FC Twente plays in. For those of you in need of broadening your football horizons, Twente plays in the Dutch top league, The Eredivisie. While the league has historically been dominated by Ajax of Amsterdam, PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord, some of the league’s traditional second tier, have made their presence known in the past few seasons. Twente had a solid showing last season and have now posted a 3-0-0 record in November alone. In fact, they have not lost a league game this season, winning their last 10 in a row en route to a 13-2-0 record through the young Eredivisie Season.

With 2009 coming to an end, it’s time to look foward to the New Year. 2010 promises to be an exciting year in the UFC. Let’s have a look at the top ten fights we can expect to see next calendar year (and a couple that will help close out 2009 with a bang):
10. Rashad Evans vs Thiago Silva
Who will prevail?
Rashad Evans has a lot to prove in his next fight against Thiago Silva, a heavy handed striker. In 2009, Evans was knocked out by Lyota Machida in a fight which saw him lose both his belt and his undefeated record. In my opinion, this will be a great fight because both men match up well against one another. Thiago Silva is an aggressive fighter who will look for the knockout, while Evans (who has really improved his striking) is more of a counter-striker with the ability to drop opponents with one punch. The key for Silva in this bout will be to get to Evans early in the fight. Evans has been known to take a round or two to get comfortable in the octagon. If Silva can keep Evans from finding a rhythm then he has a good chance of scoring an early round knockout.
