I read what Hardy had to say about GSP being able to hold him down for 25 minutes. It was not like the Lay & Pray style of Josh Koscheck (though Kos has much improved G & P now) he did go for subs, controlled him the entire time. The way I see it. If it bores him so much... Or Frustrates Hardy because GSP took the fight where Dan is weakest.. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Learn the ground game.. Learn some takedown defense. Quit whining about what your opponent did and work on what you could not do.

What a joke! 5-time World's Strongest Man Mariusz Pudzianowski takes on former UFC Heavyweight Champion Tim Sylvia in the first sanctioned MMA event in Massachusetts.

Agreed...but whatever it takes to pay the bills is the way I look at it. Would we be talking about Tim Sylvia had he not taken this fight? Probably not. I can't hate on him for tryin to make some cash.Fab1b wrote: Tim Sylvia is now a freak show

Fab,
I have alot of friends telling me that the UFC 114 (I believe that is the one) card is going to be stacked.
I have never watched a UFC pay per view, will that be a good one to see?

114 is not bad, Rampage/Evans is worth it, but I think 112 and perhaps 116 will be better as well.

On my limited knowledge of the sport, 114 looks good, but ive always wanted to see Lesnar fight.

Lesnar/Carwin will be fun to see I think.
UFC 112 features two of the best in MMA in Anderson Silva and BJ Penn. Along with legends Hughes and Gracie I think it would be a great card for your first!

Demian Maia is one of my favorite fighters. Being a BJJ guy, I have all 3 of his 6 DVD sets. And I do think he can submit Anderson on the ground. However I am afraid Demian will suffer the same fate as Forrest, Irvin, Franklin, etc...

Maia's stand up will be his downfall against Silva!

And Hughes isn't? LOL. Huges is one of the biggest asses in all of MMA. Not that I hate him for that. I think us ass holes should stick together. I just don't like him because he's a douche bag.

I havent' seen it yet.. I will definitely watch the fights. When Matt Trained along with Tim Sylvia.. Tim asked Matt what was going on.. what could Tim do for them to be friends. Matt says "I have enough Friends" a little funny. but not something you should tell to your training partners.

Hughes is the type of person that if you don't see it his way he has no time for you. I respect him immensely as a fighter just not a person!

Yes, if I had to pick a UFC to be my "first" in the upcoming months, it would be the next one (112).
Anderson Silva, BJP, Maia, Hughes, Gracie, Edgar, even Grove is fun to watch.
Oh yeah, and I am a big Hughes fan as a fighter, but he's a douche.
