Weidman although promising hasn't had enough fights to earn the title shot IMO. It's hard to speculate on gsp. Coming back from an extended injury layoff is always tough ie Cain against dos santos.
Just finished watching WSOF. Was great- a lot of UFC fighters and good fighting. Rumble looked awesome at 205.
it shld be a tough fight ... no cakewalk for either of them IMHO ... but i think GSP has the edge over condit ...
Condit tough, but the only thing he has going for him against GSP is GSP's long layoff. Otherwise, no real shot IMHO.
Wow, wow, and wow! What a brutal KO of Franklin by Cung Le. Franklin was as "out" as CroCop was when he got laid out by Gonzaga. Wouldn't be surprised if Franklin hangs 'em up after that. Paulo Thiago couldn't do anything against Kim....complete domination. Kim put on a grappling clinic. Nice to see Thiago Silva win, although he certainly doesn't come across the same way he did before he fought Machida, where he was undefeated and showed the confidence and swagger of an undefeated fighter. I really enjoyed the Tuck/Zhang fight. Great grappling, constant action, and great heart by both fighters. After Le/Franklin, that was my favorite of the night.
Condit gave him his best but that's what separates men from boys. Gsp absorbed the high kick in round 3 and dominated from top. That was a bloody bout exceeded my expectations. Hendricks was awesome knocked out the hitman just like Fitch. If silva vs gsp doesn't pan out would love to see Hendricks get a shot.
How do you think Hendricks would do against GSP? He has certainly proved that he has some serious KO power, and his wrestling has really been hyped up, although we haven't seen much of a display of it due to his quick stoppages. GSP has dominated some top wrestlers in his career, Koscheck is the one that comes to mind as having been the best one so far, and GSP really had no issues handling that level at all. So against Hendricks, I see GSP taking him down and grinding away at him. I don't think GSP wants to stand with Hendricks......
Nice, I really enjoyed it. Some good fights. It was nice seeing a Diaz brother get picked apart (AGAIN). Poor BJ! He looked REAL BAD! but went the distance. Im a Shogun fan, But, Gus looks like he can hang with the big boys. And Swick... I'm a fan of his, and Brown really NEVER impressed me before. But I gotta give him credit.
How about Dennis Siver?!?! Looks incredible at 145lbs. Off the charts striking, and excellent on the ground as well. Phan is one of the toughest fighters out there, almost impossible to finish, and Siver just completely dominated him. Siver/Aldo - I want to see it! Henderson looked solid as ever. Never gave Nate a chance to implement his game. Very well done. Shogun looked pretty good, but Gus looked even better. Does he have a chance against Jones? I'm afraid the answer is no. Sadly, it is time for Penn to retire. He just got dominated by the next generation of WWs - there's nothing left for him in fighting. Rory/Condit 2 - cannot wait for that one. Beautiful KO from Edwards on Stephens. Thoroughly enjoyed watching that bully get KOd.
You need to see it. It's in 4 parts, but you can watch it here; http://www.mma-core.com/videos/search/siver_phan
whole card was amazing, and so much energy! It's sad, the only boring fight was Mike Easton and I was so looking forward to his fight. He is normally so aggressive, but got spooked out of his normal game by Ascuinso (sp). Hendo treated Nate like Nate deserves to be treated... Like a B1tch!!!
^really? Did we watch the same fight? I thought the last 3 fights were all one-sided. Brown's ko non-withstanding, bjs fight was a joke. Rua was completely overmatched. Both need to hang up their gloves. Diaz did squat against bendo. Bendo completely dominated him dropping hammer fists and elbows while Nate laid on his back like a *****. Bendo could have done a photoshoot after 5 rounds he didnt even have a scratch. I thought the card was meh and I'm huge bendo fan. Edgar was a more worthy opponent. Hope pettis one day gets his chance. Also look forward to Condit ***** slapping macdonald into humility cocky sob.
