With GSP being out for so long and Silva recently fighting at LHW. I have no problems if this fight doesn't happen and they continue to fight in their divisions.robj55;1325141 wrote:Yes, I think that is the biggest fight in the sport right now.

Personally I'd like to see Anderson fight and beat GSP and then have him fight Jones sometime late next year. What a year that would be.

Can you imagine the build up to a Silva/Jones fight if Anderson beat GSP, who is the sports biggest star.

That kick was nasty.
It'd be crazy if Anderson fought GSP and then JBJ. I think he could retire then.
Also, BJ will literally fight anyone. He fought fucking Lyoto Machida.

My Picks:
Bendo
Gus
Macdonald
Brown
I'd much rather see Diaz win than Bendo, but I don't it happens, but i'll be cheering for Diaz. I'd love to see both of them have a belt at the same time. Also, I really want to see Shogun lose.

GSP walks around at 190. Silva walks around at 225+. Now granted, GSP is always in shape while Silva goes out of shape in between, but still 35 lb is not "a little bigger".robj55;1324999 wrote:I find it funny that GSP had no problem taking a superfight with a guy who he outweighed by about 20 pounds on fight night(BJ Penn), but is hesitant to accept a fight with Anderson who is a little bigger than him.
BJP also fought at 170 for years, GSP has never fought at 185.

I think Nate is going to win the title. I think he is going to do it impressively as well. Bendo will need to use his size and strength but he has gotten into deep water with submissions only to escape in the past, Nate won't let that happen. I think Shogun will show up in vintage form and beat Gustaffson. I expect BJ to come out strong in round one but fade as the fight goes on due to the size of Rory. Pulling for Matt Brown also, that fight is perfect to open up the main card, guaranteed war.

The fox card is amazing probably the most I've looked forward to a card in awhile.

Hendo and Machida is official for UFC 157 in February, rumors that Rousey could headline that card. Sorry but I would rather see Machida and Hendo(two legends) be 5 rounds than to have Rousey headline when she is just gonna win in 2 minutes. Also, Todd Duffee is back in the UFC filling in for Matt Mitrione against Phill Defries at UFC 155. I always felt Todd had a tremendous amount of potential, hopefully he makes the most of his second chance.

Yes one big head kick, but total significant strikes...Condit landed 36 against GSP.

He landed 151 against Diaz. That's significant, not total.
http://blog.fightmetric.com/2012/02/condit-vs-diaz-official-ufc-statistics.html
Condit had just as many sig strikes in the 4th round against Diaz than he had in the whole stinking fight against GSP.
That's such a Diaz biased post it's funny to read.

I don't think Nate wins on Saturday. His weakness is wrestling and I think Bendo takes him down and keeps him down. Bendo has great submission defense so i doubt he gets caught but we'll see, I'm pulling for Diaz.
I think Gus beats shogun too. I'm also tired of hearing that Shogun is a contender so I really don't want him to win and i definitely don't want to see him fight Jones again.

Man you really don't like Shogun. I don't understand how anyone could not be a fan of Shogun, dude embodies what MMA is all about, technique, talent, skill, heart of a lion and brings it every time. The guy is a legend and has a resume most should be envious of. Shogun is a huge step up for Gus, by far the biggest test of his career.Raw Dawgin' it;1335346 wrote:I don't think Nate wins on Saturday.

I'm a fan, but him winning just sets the division back IMO. I'd rather see him fight Rampage and Rashad and guys that have had their shots.robj55;1335559 wrote:Man you really don't like Shogun.

What are everyone's predictions for this weekends stacked card?
Diaz submission after battering Bendo on the feet
Shogun by TKO early
Rory by decision although I think BJ will have his moments early in the fight
Swick by decision, pulling for Brown though
