i think that says alot more about gsp's wrestling ability. Kos is one of the best wrestlers, but GSP has proven that he has an ability to take wrestlers/grapplers down (sherk, hughes, Penn). GSP is freakishly strong for 170, and has great leverage. Kos just got beat by a much better fighter, he'll still be in competition for title shots in the future.

St. Pierre is a monster........as long as his head is in the game. lol

they better have him fight someone credible next time, time to see where he stands with the other top fighters in the UFC at the moment

Roger Huerta wins by 3rd round ground n pound

Tito loss for that one

Stevenson beats Pellegrino by UD

Patrick Cote upsets Grove by ground n pound. caught Grove with a huge right that dropped him, and followed up with a choke, then some unanswered punches until the ref stopped it.

ch. 24267, can't say what the quality will be like though

my picks for UFC 74: Roger Huerta vs. Alberto Crane: Huerta is good, but its past time for the UFC to give him some credible competiton, they can't protect him forever. He should win this easy. More hype will follow, but give him somebody the people actually know next fight (i'm still mad this fight is being shown on the main card while Clay Guida/Marcus Aurelio is on the prelims and will be a much better fight. hopefully a couple of fights end quick and they still show this fight) Huerta by TKO rd2. Kendall Grove vs. Patrick Cote: Grove really impressed me in his victory over Alan Belcher. I don't think Grove will have many problems with Cote, Grove continues to improve and will finish this fight. Grove TKO rd2. Joe Stevenson vs. Kurt Pellegrino: This will be a good fight, Pellegrino is extremely skilled and will present problems for Joe on the ground. I can easily see this fight goin either way, but i think Joe will be too strong for him in the long run. Stevenson by UD George St. Pierre vs. Josh Koscheck: Hardest fight to pick for me actually. If GSP is mentally in this fight, it will be extremely difficult for Koscheck to win, but GSP has to actually prove he is mentally prepared for this fight. I think Koscheck will score a couple of takedowns on GSP, but i don't see Koscheck being able to keep GSP on his back to dish out any punishment. Koscheck could very well win a decision based on pecking his jab and scoring a takedown or two a round, but i see GSP catching Kos with something heavy in the 3rd round. GSP TKO rd3. Randy Couture vs. Gabriel Gonzaga: Randy Couture has to rely on his strategy and smarts to win this fight. Gonzaga is bigger, stronger, with heavy hands, and extremely dangerous on the ground. Bottom line is that I see more opportunities for Gonzaga to win this fight than Couture. I only see Randy winning by dragging Gonzaga into the deep waters of the later rounds and hoping Gonzaga gasses, as nobody knows if he can go 5rds. Gonzaga's extremely dangerous on the ground so even if randy takes him down, i don't think he will mind. Gonzaga by Submission rd3.

i actually think Koscheck would beat Hughes at this point. Koscheck is a better pure wrestler than Hughes, and Hughes is virtually clueless on his feet. I can easily see Koscheck getting a decision against Hughes i think overseas, Fedor would be a bigger draw than Chuck, obviously Chuck is bigger in the states, but in fairness to Fedor he hasn't fought more than twice (if that) in the states. as far as Anderson Silva goes, he is by far my favorite fighter in MMA right now. one of, if not the most dangerous and creative strikers in MMA, and uses his black belt in bjj more as defense to get the fight back to his feet. Not to mention that outside the ring, he is one of the classiest fighters in the sport today. The only opponent i can recall Silva not showing respect for after a fight was Leben, which was because Silva felt Leben was disrespectful in his comments leading up to that fight. i honestly think that if Silva could speak english well, he would be the UFC's posterboy.

Koscheck will always be a threat to anyone in that division simply because his wrestling is superior to anyone at that weight. he has improved tremendously, considering that he has only been training mma for a few years now. as his overall game gets better, he'll become more dangerous. that being said he is one of the most boring fighters i've seen. i understand that he comes to fight to win, and that his strategy is predicated on that, and that it is ultimately the responsibility of his opponent to push the action when its clear he's losing (yes i'm looking at you Diego). Still tho Koscheck has to become more exciting because with his style, as soon as he loses one fight, he will literally have to fight and beat every single fighter in the division before he gets a title shot.

Silva is making an effort to learn english, he's a long way away, but he is trying. You could make a strong argument that Silva is the most exciting fighter in the UFC at the moment and i just don't agree with how the UFC has gone about this. yes they need to sell the fight, but when was the last time the challenger had a homefield advantage in a championship fight (not that Silva will care, as he destroyed Lee Murray in front of a mega crowd in Britain). I just think that the UFC is setting Silva up to be disrespected after the fight, in which he will be heavily booed no matter how dominant he is in the fight. i understand that the UFC would prefer Franklin to be the posterboy for the MW division but to set Silva up for disrespect is just a shady move in my opinion.

Sylvia vs. Vera is official on another note, UFC is doin Silva dirty by having the fight in Cincy, then naming the event Hostile Territory. When Silva rearranges Franklins face again, the fans will boo him if he's lucky and probably throw **** at him.:doh:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: @ them sayin Snitsky is undefeated

http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=4533&zoneid=2 its finally official :applause:

Brandon Vera vs. Tim Sylvia is happenin sometime in the future

you obviously don't watch much if you think they are on the ground 80% of every round at least watch the product before you make dumbass statements.

wrestlers need to make as much as they can, and get out as soon as possible. them folks don't last long. on that note, how ric flair is stil living is beyond me

i'm still hopin for an eventual match-up between McFredries and Terry Martin that match would be all bombs, ending with someone getting brutally KO'd

Diaz managed to apply the gogoplata on Gomi while on the green :laugh:

apparently Diego Sanchez has left Greg Jackson's camp: http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=4480&zoneid=13 damn, Greg Jackson's team been on some hard times lately. "had a spark when they started, but now they just garbage" :laugh:

i've heard that as well, but some people who are more knowledgeable on the topic have told me that it can happen from not properly cleaning training mats and things like that.

courtesy of ufcjunkie.com: they need to better in making sure all the equipment and training centers are sanitized.

http://www.sherdog.com/news/news.asp?n_id=8535 kinda disappointed that Fisher had to pull out, but should still be a great fight regardless. i still see Din winning this.

every person you listed, a current or future hall of famer. and that slam on Fedor was one of the sickest things i've seen. how he managed to get kimura'd like 30secs later is beyond me. in some interview a while back, i remember Fedor sayin that he was never in any danger from that slam because he knew how to position himself to land to minimize the overall damage of it, he said that it looked alot worse than it really was.
