Is this something that I'll watch and lose a ton of respect for the guy? Bc if it is I'm not watching.

I don't think that now is the time for a GSP/Silva fight, but maybe if he defends again and it's not really a close fight it might be time. GSP is definitely still improving as a fighter (not that I'm saying Silva isn't). I don't think he would be ready for that fight as of right now, but a year from now that might be the most interesting, hyped fight in UFC history (again:)).

I did notice a decline in BJ's guard between round 1 and 2. In round 1 it was way high up on GSP's back, to the point I was worried about a submission. After that round his guard was much lower. It didn't look like he was trying to get it up there and failing, but rather he settled for the lower guard because he was tired. Watching Penn on his back reminded me a lot of my BJJ instructor. He's a really little guy, no more than 5'5" 165lb. But he's soooo incredibly flexible it's insane. I never came close to submitting him, or even being competitive. Every time I got him on his back, he would squeeze that guard shut tight, and it was impossible to break. After that it was only a matter of time before he would get me in a triangle or something.

I wonder if Penn will whine about GSP stealing the fight... I hope he wants another rematch, he'll just get his ass beat again. Although I doubt he wants to get anywhere near GSP and the octagon after last night.

I can see the fight going two ways. First, GSP knows going in he can't just stand up with him, so he takes him down the first few seconds of each round and beats his ass. OR: GSP looks at Alves as a challenge and tries to stand up with him. If it's not going well, then he takes him down and beats his ass. Either way, unless GSP makes a mistake and leaves himself open, and Thiago connects with a few good shots, it won't be much of a fight.

IMO that was the biggest difference in the fight last night compared to their first fight. You saw on the show on Spike how many quality fighters GSP has been training with. All that work definitely paid dividends in the ass whooping of Penn.

GSP has step up his game sooooo much. Who's going to beat him at 170? Nobody. Another fight or 2 like that and he'll step up to 185 for Silva. If GSP keeps improving like this, that will be ONE HELL OF A FIGHT.

10-9 or 10-8 two rounds in a row for GSP

You guys think 10-8 for GSP in round 2?

I got 10-9 GSP. Great take down defense by Penn, but GSP kept the pressure on him the whole round.

Come on GSP, finally put this guy on his ass!

I am so pumped for this fight!

You will? Damn who are you, Evans? lol

That's much better:)

No kidding man. Kinda pissing me off. I want a freaking KO here! I thought the last fight would be a TKO for Jones, but it never happened. The kid got tired after round 1.

Are you God?

Damn this kid looks legit. SB has to step it up in round 2 to have a chance.

Shocking turn of events!

yeah that's how I saw it too. With all the refs stops telling Karo to get his **** together, it's hard to see how he deserved that win though.

oh I don't like that. oh well. 1-1 now.

I have no idea how to score that round... imo Karo should have been penalized on that kick. It was nowhere near his chest.

Tough round for both fighters, but Karo gets it 10-9 bc of the nice throw. 3rd round winner take all.

Probably 10-9 Kim in round 1. He controlled most of the round.

I got Kim in this one. The 3 fights I bet on on centsports were this one (Kim), Guida over Diaz, and GSP over Penn. :fingersx:

and I'm 1-0:D
