JustSmile=) Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Great fights! I hesitated watching this at a sports bar because of the card.. Turned out to be a wrong decision.. Fight bonuses were at $100T.. Submission of the night (tied) - Mark Bocek (smooth ng transition from mount to the triangle, too bad I think Hazelett will be cut)Submission of the night (tied) - Jim Miller (slick knee-bar, Oliveira's hype train is no more) Knockout of the night - Mac Danzig (a left hook that face plants Joe Daddy) Fight of the night - GSP and Kos (The fans voted this but I believe the Pierson vs Riddle or Alves vs Howard should have gotten the nod) Quote Link to comment
agent_zer0 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 GSP continues to improve. Like kanina, he's boxing is superior (thanks to coach Freddie Roach!) I think he's a complete MMA fighter, the man can beat Silva, if Silva wants to fight him... Quote Link to comment
ativan Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 hoping for GSP vs Silva Quote Link to comment
geneticfreak Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I certainly hope GSP's last performance stops all the talk about him being safe and relying on what some people wanna call a lay and pray type approach (after taking people down). The man simply knows which one of his skills to impose on his opponent at the time. So much for not being able to stop Hardy or Alves (though he dominated them). He simply used his other skill set (which is his striking) to nearly stop perhaps the second best wrestler in the welterweight division. GSP ain't boring... He simply knows how to win. Add to that the fact that most of his opponents are really tough, top of the food chain welterweights. Some like Matt Hughes he has stopped some he hasn't... But he has dominated each and every time. Dustin Hazlett looked lost against Bocek (who has really impressed me his last few fights) and Jim Miller I think should be next in line against the winner of the Edgar-Grady title fight.

Olympus Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 what I must say: The Pierson vs Riddle was a better choice for FOTN KO of the night: Perfect timing in the step-back hook by Danzinboth subs of the night: very well setup Funny that many people forgot that GSP was a striker in his early days before his loss to Serra made him focus more on his wrestling..

El Chapo Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 i think it's to early for Charles Oliviera to face a fighter like Jim Miller. poor Dustin Hazlet, I think that might be his last fight in UFC Quote Link to comment
tequila5 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Are we expecting a GSP-Silva fight next year? Quote Link to comment
anatoly Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Are we expecting a GSP-Silva fight next year?probably not. gsp said if he's moving up he's going to be moving up for good and gaining those extra pounds the right way is going to take some time. he walks around 190 right now, and he'll need to be AT LEAST 200lbs before fighting at MW.

sujiro Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 hahaha..seems there are lots of GSP fans here..i must agree that he is one of the best..but he really fights safe.he even admitted it.look at the last fight..he closd Kos right eye within round 1.but yet, he still didnt pressd enough to finish Kos, cause he is too afraid that Kos might land that big ryt hand..his trainer said that Kos is tough to finish.i thnk they should Paulo Thiago.. :blush: and in his last 5 title defences..it all ended in decisions..with the exception of Bj fight, where his corner threw in the towel before the start of 5th round.. he is even afraid to move weight class..he has many excuses..first, because of Marquardt, he thinks that Nate will become MW champion..now, he still needs to gain some weights...i thnk he needs to ask Anderson, BJ Penn and Ninja Rua, in how to disrespect weight classes... if Anderson wins in Feb. vs Vitor, Dana should force GSP to Silva next..

Jim Miller has a good streak, but so is G-Sot..they should fight for the #1 contendership..but im still rooting for Edson Barboza Jr to be the next LW champion.. Quote Link to comment
kuya willie Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Guys who do you think would win? Gray "lay n pray" Maynard or Frankie " slap n run " Edgar? Quote Link to comment
maddromeo Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 GSP vs. Shields! Lets see what happens!? GSP's Good but he's not a finisher, did he fought it safe? or he just cant finish Kos?! Fights to look forward into next year!!! A. Silva vs. Vitor, BJ Penn vs. Fitch & Rua vs. Evans!!! Quote Link to comment
