Guest megalodon Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 vera could be a good pick but he still has to gain some points before he would be able to get a title shot. as for shogun, he could be the next in line after rampage. still, i have doubts if someone could really match up with machida's level as of the moment.I hope GSP and Machida fight at a catchweight of say 190 pounds. If that happens, I'll place my bet on the dragon. GSP wouldn't stand a chance. Quote Link to comment

GSP wouldn't stand a chance. it will not take a rocket scientist to figure that out sir. a man fighting at 170 probably will have a huge disadvantage over a fighter at 205 even at a catch weight, lalo na if si machida pa yung bigger man. yung mga 205 pounders nga hirap sa kanya, si GSP pa although according to other boards GSP cuts alot to be at 170. im not also machida fan but geezzz... he is a very bad man at 205.

riceb0i Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 GSP is like Thiago Alves cuts a ridiculous amount of weight to make WW... sa tingin ko ginagawa nila yun kasi hindi na sila pwede sa MW na mas matatangkad ang kalaban nila, i'd say GSP's height is just right for WW he'd be at a huge disadvantage fighting Lyoto at even a catchweight of 190 in my opinion chief Quote Link to comment

ryujin6190 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 GSP and Rashad are both 5'10 Sir, actually Rashad is a bit taller (5'11") than GSP (5'10"). I noticed that when I watched one of the UFC PrimeTime episodes when GSP is sparring w/ Rashad for the BJ Penn fight. Quote Link to comment
TEQUILAJOE Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 What do you guys think of machida vs cung le??? Both have knock out power and unorthodox striking. Both are 205 lbs. and counter artist. I dont think this match up would happen in the near future, but who knows? Quote Link to comment

Can Alves outstrike GSP? Does Alves have enough gas tank when the fight goes to the later rounds? Will GSP hesitate to stand up against a man that can KO him (serra TKO effect)? Who will (T)KO who? so many questions eh! This fight should be good unless theres another controversy (wag naman sana). Quote Link to comment
brian Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I still can't get that knockdown out of my head. The way Evans' head whiplashed when he was going down was amusing. It would have been sweeter if Chuck was the one who had done that to him. Quote Link to comment

I dont think this match up would happen in the near future, but who knows?if you mean unorthodox striking because of Le's background, i'd say he's not an unorthodox striker chiefwhat i can say is Cung Le loves to kick and he has KO power in those legs but i don't see him beating Lyoto as Lyoto has really unreal movement besides being at 185, Le hasn't fought for a long while after that Shamrock fight... Lyoto's chin is tested, but Le's isn't as of present and he likes acting more than MMA chief don't get me wrong i'm a Cung Le fan, but i just don't think he has the tools to beat Lyoto Quote Link to comment

sg_c_paulo Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) Sad news fellow gentlemanyaks, jackson opts to coach in TUF season 10 opposite evans. This means matatagalan pa before magkaron ng dragon-rampage match-up. My opinion- takot si craig marduk-look-alike kalabanin si machida/ryu. alam niya na mapipikon lang siya hindi nya matamaan si mokong I think si spider na lang may chance kay machida, since mahirap siya patumbahin (astig balance niya, and he credits it to his sumo background).
