I think Carwin has a real shot at this. He hits like a truck and has very good wrestling. If he can keep JDS guessing he can take this one.

Not a fan of Magic Hat.

I believe it was formed as a way to hide the fact that they were training a martial art by disguising it as dancing. Don't remember whre I heard taht or how accurate it is though. Pettis has some Capoeira training, doesn't he? I think there is another fighter that has it is his arsenal as well.

That's twice as many! Seriously though, that is pretty impressive. How many other elite strikers have that on their resume? The point is, he has proven he can win off his back. With his length he can really give GSP problems on the ground. On another note, I really hope Sonnen decides to go after GSP. There is a lot of material for him to come up with some funny ****.

Ok, let's try this again. 1. 2. ---------- Post added May-3rd-2011 at 10:18 AM ---------- knocking out a former champ who can fight at heavyweight in under 4 mins is definitely not much of a feat.

I knew what you were talking about. by "shot", and I disagree. After you factor in size I think Sonnoen has a better shot than GSP. Is that pic suppose to show that the size difference isn't that big? That's not how I see it.... GSP might walk around hpretty heavy, but he has admitted he does a lot of body building to look good. He has a lot of "show muscle" and therefor "show weight"

You are either underestimating Sonnen's size, strength, and/or wrestling, or overestimating GSP's. Sonnen's success on the feet vs. Anderson was weird. I'm not sure if it was because how unorthodox it was or if Silva just didn't respect it, but I don't see GSP being able to land the same shots, and if he does they won't be as effective as GSP doesn't have much power. Besides natural weight GSP will also be giving up 4 inches in height. ---------- Post added May-1st-2011 at 05:26 PM ---------- I think if they offered him the fight at 178, he'd take it. That is probably the best situation for everyone assuming that wouldn't be a killer weight cut for Silva. If it would be then I don't want to see it.

Either way I was right. Another submission from his back for Spider :pfft: ---------- Post added May-1st-2011 at 02:38 PM ---------- Last night confirmed what I was saying a month or so ago: Machida is the only guy I see giving Bones any trouble at this point. What has to happen for him to get a title shot? Rashad lose? No way Davis deserves one after one good win. Maybe Machida gets the winner of Rampage-Hamill? I don't want to see Machida-Shogun III at this point. I guess if Forrest wins Machida-Forrest could make sense.

Travis Lutter was a triangle wasn't it? Just checked fightfinder and it says "submission -elbows" Could have sworn that was a triangle. GSP might not want to stand with Silva, but that isn't just up to GSP. I think Silva keeps the fight standing enough to get the KO. GSP does not take punches well, hard to imagine him taking a knee through the nose well either. ---------- Post added May-1st-2011 at 12:58 PM ----------

Silva has won his share of fights off his back.

Just had a Bourbon Barrel Gonzo on tap. Awesome stuff. Plan on being a big part of kicking that local keg. ---------- Post added April-26th-2011 at 11:42 PM ---------- Damn metric system...

Brashear? Wow. That will be cool as a spectacle, but is he doesn't have any training he is going to get Johnnie Morton'ed. I'm surprised the article doesn't mention any training or martial arts background.

Mayhem doesn't deserve either fighter. General thoughts on 185 I think Bisping-Sonnen makes the most sense of the contenders. Wand-Belfort rematch in Brazil would have been so awesome. I'm pissed Dana let Wandy have the Leben fight instead. I agree with SU on Akiyama. He must have pictures of Joe Silva cross-dressing. Too bad Marquartd couldn't get it done and is running down to 170. I thought he had a chance to make at 185. That is going to be a tough cut for him. I remember him manhandling Kampmann at 185 and sending Kampmann down to 170. I don't know how Nate is going to make 170. I say give Mayhem Alan Belcher. What's Maia up to?

That was worth it just for the last shot. ---------- Post added April-13th-2011 at 09:38 AM ---------- Fixed. :box:

I don't see it as stealing a fighter from Strikeforce. They can let some UFC fighters fight in the Strikeforce cage too. They can go back and forth now if that is what Zuffa wants. ---------- Post added April-12th-2011 at 02:27 PM ---------- Sonnen is just to funny to not like at least a little. :ols:

That is the PC thing to say. Doesn't mean they don't control everything they want to do, save maybe having to throw a bone to Showtime or CBS to make a fight work.

My bad. I knew he was 2-0 at 185. The other guys was Frank Shamrock. Assumed Sam was talking about past opponents and didn't think about it. ---------- Post added April-11th-2011 at 06:33 PM ---------- Not sure where you're getting this idea. Strikeforce has always been known to have open contracts. Daley fought in the UK a couple months ago because he wanted to. They have a certain number of fights they probably owe Coker/Showtime/CBS...(depending on their deal), other than that they can fight elsewhere. The UFC has exclusive deals, but they are their deals. They can do whatever they want with them. If they want a fighter in strikeforce they just have to rip up or rework the deal.

Don't forget Mayhem and Smith were at 185. ---------- Post added April-11th-2011 at 12:43 PM ---------- :pfft:

I thought Jardine dectiated enough of the first round to win it. It was close though. What really drove me crazy was that at the start of the third Ranallo and Shammy were talking about how close the first round was and that it could have gone either way. Then they turn around and start screaming that it was one of the worst decisions they have ever seen. Mousasi just seemed lazy in the first. I guess he thought he would walk right through Jardine. He didn't turn it on until the second.

I can't believe how appaled Ranallo and Shammy were about the Draw. I had it a draw too. 10-9 Jardine + -1 Mousasi for the blatant low blow = 10-8 Jardine; 10-9 Mousasi; 10-9 Mousasi: 28-28= Draw I thought that the Daley stoppage was premature. Even had a thought McCarthy was trying to get in Dana's good graces by ending Daley's night early... Crazy fight. Glad to see the better man win.

As a Diaz fan and a Daley hater, I am worried about tomorrow night. I'm worried Diaz will go in there like he always does with his chin out, no gameplan, and try to prove he is tougher and better at boxing than Daley. I think Daley has a better chance to win than most are giving him. WAR 209!!!!!!

He's said the same things before. The ring vs the cage is another reason why the UFC favors wrestler/stallers/point scorers.

I'd like to see Penn-Alves if Penn insists at staying at 170. I wold much rather see him go back to 155 and stay there. If he fought Edgar like he fought Fitch (you know, with a gameplan), he might still be champ there. He is too small for his cardio weakness to handle the big wrestlers at 170. Alves is fighting Story though. I think they are waiting to see what happens with Shields-GSP to name Fitch's replacement.

http://mmajunkie.com/news/23055/jon-fitch-injured-forced-to-withdraw-from-ufc-132-matchup-with-b-j-penn.mma I don't know how I feel about this. A draw needs settling, but I'd rather see BJ fight someone else.
