| Just added in the Marquardt-Woodley match up that I totally forgot about. Probably forgot because I really could care less about this match up. Nate has never fought at welterweight, and I don't approve of Strikeforce gifting him a title shot in a class he's never fought at, simply because he's a fighter with some name recognition. And Woodley is about as interesting to watch fight as a treestump, but slightly more tolerable than his counterpart Askren in Bellator. Would be neat to see Marquardt pull of the W, but I don't see it happening. |
 |
| There went the highly anticipated UFC 148. Probably won't get that pumped for a fight until the Jones-Henderson match up rolls around in a couple of months. Anyone actually watching the Strikeforce this weekend besides me? |
|
| Well, that's always the problem with a card like that. They through mountains of hype into it, there was no way it'd actually live up to it. I wasn't looking for an all around incredible card. I knew that wouldn't happen, and quite frankly could give two fucks less about anything on that card besides the Silva-Sonnen match up. |
|
| My predictions for upcoming title fights... Jones over Belfort ... TKO RD2 Johnson over Benevidez ... Decision |
| You'd really take Johnson over Benevidez? Interesting. |

| Yo yo, GSP v. Condit incoming! |
Xentrix- said: Yo yo, GSP v. Condit incoming! Felt like this fight would never happen haha, only a few weeks away finally! I'll take GSP by decision, safest choice most likely. Anyone else? |
| The 'old' GSP would take Condit no problem, but it's hard to comment on GSP's current condition. It's either GSP by decision or submission or Condit pulls off a knockout. Eh, there is only one way to find out and I'm going for Pierre, since he's an exemplary fighter for me. |

Anyone else? I foresee five rounds of Condit on his back with GSP taking a nap on top of him followed by lots of Canadian cheering when they announce the decision. |

That would be so depressing... GSP really needs to return to what he once was. He used to be so fun to watch, now hes just another guy fighting to win rounds. |

| Thanks for updating it... lol the Jones gif Marquardt TKO Tarec R3 ... umm who? Dodson decision Johnson ... should be an awesome close fight, no idea who to pick really Aldo decision Edgar Barao TKO McDonald R2 ... this division is building itself up while Cruz is away Rousey ARMBAR Carmouche R1 ... yeah.... GSP TKO Diaz R3 ... taking a shot for a finish on this one :/ Jones TKO Sonnen R2 ... Chael then gets a heavyweight title shot in July for no reason |

I'm pretty excited to watch these two guys go at it. I feel like Cruz will never come back. Double knee surgery on the same knee..back to back? It's hard to see him coming back Adrian Peterson/GSP style and be back in full swing. Lol GSP pick. |

Lol GSP pick. Yeah thats going to be a rough recovery for Cruz, really sucks because he does have alot of skill. I wonder though if this will be another Mir, where they have to strip his title in order to move the division forward... interim titles shouldnt last longer then a year IMO. GSP needs to come through eventually lol. Diaz is a tough dude but his face can swell up from punishment sometimes, thats what I think could happen :/ DrunkenBlowfish said: I foresee five rounds of Condit on his back with GSP taking a nap on top of him followed by lots of Canadian cheering when they announce the decision. Winner haha Still havent seen the fight, heard it was more action this time which is a RE-start for GSP lol |

Diaz is a tough dude but his face can swell up from punishment sometimes, thats what I think could happen :/l Yeah, I think Renan will probably get promoted to undisputed level here soon, if he can defend against McDoland. There's no reason he shouldn't be, not with Cruz out for this amount of time. GSP is a tough dude, but GSP swells up a lot more than Diaz does. This is GSP after the Condit fight. Despite winning dominantly, GSP still takes a massive beating. I think there's a better chance of Diaz winning via doctor stoppage (which I don't really consider a TKO) than GSP does of stopping Diaz with ground and pound. |

Flamereel17 said: I predicted Condit to get the TKO if you look back :P Ah, okay. That makes more sense than to make outrageous claims of a 'GSP TKO'. |

| MFW Sonnen is going to pull something out of his ass and defeat Jones. I can feel it in my bones. |

Also, just updated with the new poster image for UFC 157. I have never seen the chick Rousey is fighting in my entire life. Something tells me this will be her only main card fight of the entire rest of her career. This is something pathetic, I tell you what. |

Flamereel17 said: The women's division is the Ronda Rousey show for Dana White so it's all or nothing if its included in the UFC if she wins or loses, quite sad really :/ I'd still die if Rousey lost somehow. Dana's glorious plans for Rousey would be shattered. I would if he'd disband the women's division entirely? It seems like him and the UFC have a lot invested in Rousey, and if she comes up short it'd be huge blow to the credibility he's desperately trying to establish for WMMA. On the other hand of bad bosses, we have Bjorn with his bloodsucking contracts, keeping Eddie Alvarez out of action with a lawsuit because obviously Eddie doesn't want to compete for Bellator anymore. |
|
| I cannot WAIT for the Bendo-Melendez fight. This is a dream match up. |
|
| So was anyone here NOT expecting Rousey, Arm Bar, Round 1? |
|
DrunkenBlowfish said: So was anyone here NOT expecting Rousey, Arm Bar, Round 1? lol yeah it was basically a free one for everyone. Though it was 10 seconds from going to the 2nd round |
baboon said: Still, that fight went exactly as expected.DrunkenBlowfish said: So was anyone here NOT expecting Rousey, Arm Bar, Round 1? lol yeah it was basically a free one for everyone. Though it was 10 seconds from going to the 2nd round Also, gonna go ahead and say GSP - decision. |
|
| So who does everyone have winning the next 2 title fights? I'll take Henderson decision vs Melendez and Jones tko Sonnen in rd3 |
| I pick Henderson also. I think he's better at everything. It's hard to pick what Jones will do sometimes. He's capable of putting Sonnen away in the first, but he's also growing more and more cautious every fight, and seems to be more willing to break down his opponents. He played it safe against Rashad, and systemically picked apart Belfort after the initial scare as well. |
|
| Seemed the old Jones came to fight last night. The Jones that came in and smashed the Janitor, Vera, and Matt Hamill. The one I said was very capable of putting Sonnen away fast. |
|
| For some of the upcoming title fights I'm currently thinking- Pettis beats Henderson by decision Jones beats Gustaffson by..not sure either TKO (on the ground) or submission I'd think Hendricks beats GSP by KO/TKO/submission via strikes Weidman beats Silva by TKO (on the ground) or submission |
"The f**ker who goes round beating people to a pulp. He thinks it'll never happen to himself. But there's gonna be a day when the f**ker gets f**king beaten to a pulp too. But that day's f**king today and the guy doing the beating is a f**king c**t." - Sang-hoon, Breathless (2009)    |
| Going with Cain Velasquez by TKO vs JDS in round 3. Way late but just saw your pic for Anderson Silva in the first post, lol nice. |
| I should really update this thread, haha. |
