alves has more power in leg kicks but not in strikes. Condit is a finisher, he is still the only one to KO Kim Dong-hyun and Hardy, which may not sound like much but both have really good chins. He is also more accurate than Alves, and we all know GSPs chin is fairly suspect.

I like GSP, he's a good fighter, a lil boring as of late but w/ Condit fighting, there's no way this is going to be a boring fight. I say Condit by 3rd round TKO

Interesting how things have changed eh. Now it's Penn vs Diaz. If Penn comes out like he did against hughes, diaz will get raped.

I can honestly see Condit winning against Gsp. Regardless of the outcome tho, it'll be a great fight for sure

[san~man]

Good points. I hope we see the "old" Penn and he fucks Diaz up.

[escobar929]

yea, some how this card managed to get better w/ the fights changing, Penn v Diaz is going to be spectacular, better match up for sure

I too hope we see Penn at his best, he looked good in the first two rounds against Fitch, so I think he has plenty of fight left in him. I have always liked Diaz, through all the BS he has caused but I lost a lot of respect for him, this is what so many people dream of, let alone the fact he called GSP out numerous times. So I'll be rooting for Penn for sure!

Did anyone catch the Strikeforce HW Grand Prix Semis?

[Daniel135i]

Fuck Penn, and Fuck GSP... cant stand both, but I have respect for GSPs ability to win. As far as Penn goes, that midget fuck needs to get sent back to hilo on a surf board, layed out. That is the most arrogant ass, prick fuck, dick in MMA, with no backup for it. Hes no "prodigy" hes a douchebag.


My humble opinion of course, mixed with fact - Penn is a douchebag.

yea, couldnt believe the way cormier dominated big foot. the barnett fight was pretty much how i saw it going, barnett trying out the striking once he felt he was over matched, he took it to the ground and quickly finished

i think cormier will win this, his take down defense is solid and if he lets those hands go again, he will KO barnett also

i was upset jacare lost the tittle, probs to Rockhold, dude has a hella chin and insane take down defense.

back to the UFC, Vitor vs Cung Lee? think thats one hell of a fight!

[Daniel135i]

I see Barnett going the distance with a win. His style was verrry technically sound this time around. But I had to LOL when Bigfoot ate it... awesomness.

Cung Lee is an animal, cant wait for that.

If Cormier tags Barnnet, it will be a very short night for him. Tho if Josh play defensively, he'll be able to gut out a victory via control on the ground.

Cormier tho, shit those punches pack mad power. BigFoot didn't know what hit up lol!

Was a bit shocked when Jacare didn't have any answers.

Vitor vs Cung Le. Donno how this will go. I can really see a Vitor barrage and Cung going down in the first round or Cung going all pin point strikes on Vitor and wearing him out. Should be a really interesting fight.

Funny how there's no care for Rampage vs Jones because of all the other news happening in the mma world.

The Cormier win was a huge surprise to me... I knew he was good but didn't know how he'd stack up against Big foot.

I can't wait for the Cung Lee v Belfort fight. I think we'll see a great show!

[BMW86]

[Garduna]

And so continues the delusional ideas of Diaz:

http://mmajunkie.com/news/25223/diaz...-for-champ.mma

[BMW86]

"The bottom line is Georges is being a little bitch," Diaz said. "He didn't step up and say anything when the UFC pulled me out of this fight. I understand sometimes you have to do what you're told, but why wouldn't you tell the media you still want to fight me? If I was Georges, I would want to fight the best. I would have asked for the Anderson Silva fight. I would have asked to fight the Strikeforce champ. But he sits there like a robot and doesn't say anything at all, just like he's not going to say anything about me calling him a bitch now. If I saw B.J. Penn walking down the street and called him a bitch, we would be fighting right there on the spot.

Jake vs Jake this weekend. Who do you guys think will take the win?

i got Jake on this one

[escobar929]

in all seriousness, I think Shields wins, Ellenberger is good but I dont think he's at Shields level but who knows, he's the only one Carlos Condit couldnt finish, that says a lot to me but I just think Shields will be super motivated and inspired after losing his father.

a friend Vagner Rocha is fight Cody McKenzie, hope he pulls through and wins this one, after taking a beating from Cowboy last time out

Also cant wait to see Alan Belcher back in the cage, after his eye surgery, he was on the up and up before, hope he's able to get to that level again

[BMW86]

I've got cash on Shields

[san~man]

Korean got robbed, had him winning the first and third round

[san~man]

Shields, 0-2

[BMW86]

Didn't see that one coming!

[san~man]

Ya, well at least not ending that quickly. IMO, if Jake wants to move up the ladder, he seriously needs to focus on his striking/standup.

I thought he did well against GSP in the striking aspect but agree he needs to improve a lot. It seems like there's been a few strikers v ground fighters lately and the strikers have been coming off a lot better. I think you need to have excellent take-downs if that's your best strategy.

Also thought the Rampage v Jones interview during Fight Night was funny as! I think this will be the final test for Jones in the LHW division, Rampage has a strong chin and lots of power, interesting to see how Jones can handle it if he goes for broke. Otherwise we all know how impressive Jones can be. Should be a great fight.
