Paul Daley tweeted that he is having second thought on fighting Nick Diaz now since Strikeforce has been bought by Zuffa, in his words he does not want to give Dana and UFC money by fighting..

 

Paul Daley again opened his mouth without thinking. If he decided to not fight for Strikeforce, where else would his dumbass fight? BAMMA? Fight a bunch of nobodies and get lesser money or just admit his mistake and apologize to the fans, to Zuffa, and to Koscheck. Japan is in ruins right now and probably would not promote for quite a while and Bellator has its WW tournament set.

 

Wow I think the hardest part about the apology (which IMO will never happen) will be the Koscheck part, would you apologize to a douche like Koscheck?

[Olympus]

besides, AS nver submitted guys with his BJJ, he hurts them first badly. Refer to Lutter, Hendo, Sonnen fights.. you can also add that to my ancient references...

 

None of them were badly hurt. All of them got careless and Silva made them pay by submitting them.

 

Dude I mean no offense here but IMHO, gfreak has more credibility in terms of analyzing the fights since he has competed in professional mma and is also a bjj blue belt..

 

Once you've actually stepped inside the ring, you tend to se a lot of things spectators do not see

Nah. Im not here to argue as to who has the most credible opnion.i know ur professionals and im just a CASUAL FAN.. but this is a MMA Forum, so every1 has the right to speak their mind. If we all just agree to the premise of 1 keyboard warrior, then this healthy debate will be BORING. It will be just like watching a GSP fight, you just know whats gonna happen..

I watched the Silva-Sonnen fight a gazillion times. Its like watching “One More Chance”, its still amazes me everytym..when Sonnen was in AS guard, Andeson threw a big right hand that rocked Chael.then seconds after AS threw that Hail Mary triangle armbar.

In the Hendo fight, I don’t remember the exact details, but I believe Hendo ate a big right hand also before they hit the ground..then, when Lutter was caught in a triangle, AS threw consecutive 12 to 6 horizontal elbows, b4 Travis tapped.

U can all defend ur Georgy Boy, but IMO he is a pussy. Everytym he is interviewd about fighting AS, he stutter and always hesitant to answer..but, I cant blame him, after seeing Vitor got KO.btw, Vitor has never been KO b4, he was only TKOd by Randy through cuts.

I hope after GSP wins, AS will be invited to the Octagon and will say “I am not Impressd by ur per4mance, I will let you redeem yourself by fighting me”.. I wonder how GSP will react to that, knowing that he is in front of his 42K+ countrymen.

I really didn't think Chael was hurt by Anderson from the bottom during the last round of that fight. If he had been hurt though (and it is really hard to hurt someone with punches when your punching from your back) I think he had more than enough time to remember. What did him in however IMO was by the time the fourth round came around he had become so accustomed to firing punches from within Anderson's guard with almost relative ease despite having one of his hands controlled by the Spider that it seems his 'defenses' weren't up and Anderson surprised him with a triangle.

 

Hendo was hurt by a head kick then a straight and ended up giving his back but I also thought he had more than enough time to regain his wits about him. If I remember correctly he actually managed to pull guard and hold Anderson for a while before getting passed, mounted and stretched out on his back eventually which led to the rear naked choke.

 

Look we cannot blame GSP if he takes a bit of time considering whether going up a weight class or not. Again Anderson is significantly larger than him and it's not just him... Remember you have the likes of Chael Sonnen, Munoz and Okami in the same weight class among others against these guys his obvious wrestling advantage will probably stifled not only by their wrestling skill but also by the fact that these guys are larger height wise and do walk around 205-210 and cut down to 185.

walking weight and fighting weight are two totally different things which most people have a hard time understanding.

[sujiro]

whats the difference between being rocked and being stunned?

 

in an interview, Chael admitted that he was rocked/stunned twice by AS, i believe the other 1 was the one i was talking about..

 

Height wise? the last time i check, UFC didnt have height limit..George Roop is a 6'1 FW.but he wasnt dominating that weight class, in fact he lost to Hominick and Wineland, who are much smaller than him..

 

MW = 185

WW = 170

Difference = 15 lbs

 

GSPs walking weight is 190-195..he jst need to add a little more pounds..but, i guess Dana is reconsidering the fight. In a recent interview by Ariel Helwani, he said that it is a "Fantasy Fight", that maybe AS should fight first Okami..so, all the favors now are on GSP..if Okami upsets AS, GSP then wouldnt have to fight him..also, if we'll wait for GSP to properly bulk up, it will probably take time.AS is turning 37, by next year he'll be 38. he may be past his prime by then, giving all the advantages to GSP..but, that fight would then be irrelevant..

here's the latest news about AS from ESPN.

 

Silva ready to fight GSP at catchweight, says manager

 

Anderson Silva is prepared to fight Georges St-Pierre at a catchweight, according to the Brazilian's manager Jorge Guimaraes.

 

Doubts have recently surfaced over a potential superfight between Silva and St-Pierre, with welterweight champion St-Pierre expressing doubts over the size difference between the two men. Silva is the current middleweight king, and he has twice stepped up to light-heavyweight for easy victories over James Irvin and Forrest Griffin.

 

St-Pierre insists he is not afraid of Silva, but claims he would need a serious amount of time to prepare his body for the leap to 185lbs.

 

However, Silva's manager Guimaraes revealed there is no need for GSP to make the full step up, revealing The Spider would happily weigh in at a catchweight of around 178lbs, knowing that he would load the weight back on during the 24 hours prior to the fight.

 

"Anderson has proven he's the best fighter and he handles it quite good. It's a complicated fight for GSP… it's a pretty bad fight for him", Guimaraes told Tatame.

 

"Anderson has this biotype, he loses weight easily, he can make any weight, so I believe a catchweight [bout] would be perfect for GSP, and Anderson wouldn't have problems with that.

 

"Who'd have a problem would be GSP, because Anderson can lose that weight easily and, at the day of the fight, he'd be on his usual weight, so I believe it's complicated for Georges St-Pierre."

main difference is how you can react to it you get rocked = you're ready to go down, you get stunned = fukken irritating

 

i haven't been in a professional fight chief, but i've had my share of 100% sparring sessions

 

believe me the first time you get hit, you get stunned, and then it's fight or flight mode

Tell me bout it. I got rocked countless times during sparring sessions, but having those sessions also toughen you up.

im tired of all the Jon Jones HYPE..i really liked him before prior to this fight. he's very respectful to all of his previous opponents..but now, his arrogance is showing..some part of it maybe confidence, but majority of it is arrogance..he is very cocky in the press conference and signing autographs with the "champion 2011" is very disrespectful to Shogun..he thought that the crowd in new york will be on his side, but you could still hear half of the audience booing him..he doesnt know that MMA fans are the most fickle-minded fans in all of sports..Jon Jones is great, very exceptional fighter, but his behavior is not the same with the current champions.the attention of the media is now getting to his head..it will be an advantage for Shogun, cause now, it will be easier for him to hit the BIG HEAD of Bones...

 

Here is my pick for UFC 128..

 

Shogun - early KO/ Submission (leglocks)

Wineland - Decision

Shalarous - Decision

Miller - Sub

Cro Cop - Head Kick KO (hehehe..)

 

puro underdog ang picks ko..hehe.. UFC 128 is so stacked, but only the main event interests me and the fight of Barboza.hopefully. majority of the main cards will be finishd early, so we can see some undercards, lalo na yung kay Barboza.w/c in IMO is the future LW champion.saw his UFC debut with Mike Lullo, who has a BJJ background..Barboza's leglicks on that fight are the nastiest i ever seen.Joe Rogan, who is a Taek Won Do champion, praised how perfect Barboza's legkicks are.its pity to watch Lullo take all that kicks.its a good thing that the ref stopped the fight on the 3rd round..ground game na lang ang kulang sa knya..cause Lullo has threatend him several times by submissions..

From the Countdown to UFC 128 - Eddie Wineland says it perfectly - UFC is using this match to introduce Urijah Faber to the world.

 

I just hope that Eddie Wineland brings it like he always does and make a brawl of the fight.

 

Eddie owns my 2nd favorite slam knockout next to Rampage-Arona slam KO.
