UFC and MMA Thread

Haha.....there's that majority draw of yours! I knew it was coming, because I felt that there was a good chance the 1st round was going to Jardine anyways. I was watching with my dad, and I said to him before the end of the 3rd round to not be surprised if it ends in a draw.

There's no doubt that Moussasi completely dominated Jardine, and if there's a rematch, he will destroy him.

 

Confirmed---Anderson Silva will defend his title agaisnt Yoshin Okami later this year...

 

Jardine took this fight with 9 days notice and the judges saw it as a draw as well as me. Not sure if Moussasi will do any destroying if there is a rematch and Jardine has ample time to train for the fight. Taken the fight with such short notice and ending in a draw says alot about Jardine's heart and determination... Should def. be a great fight if it happens again.

 

I like Jardine, and find his style very entertaining to watch, however I think his career is on the decline, with probably little hope of going back up. I'd love to see him get back to his old form, and back in the UFC, but I doubt we will see that.

Moussasi, on the other hand, is so young and talented. Maybe a well prepared Jardine would do better, but I would put my money on Moussasi all day long.

 

You should know not to place money on your fight picks....

 

Ouch!

 

LOL--

Glad Silva is fighting Okami--Have no desire to see GSP fight Silva....

 

Dana White said in an interview a few weeks ago that he likes Nick and would be open to him fighting back in the UFC, but he needs to take it seriously and stop talking dumb stuff. I guess this is exactly what Dana means. Nick is so talented and just doesn't take it 100% seriously.

I'll Back you on that Dan!

 

I'm really looking forward to St-Pierre v. Shields. Shields has one hell of a record, and I would like to see if the guy can grab a title in UFC after having one in pretty much every other league. GSP has some skill - the guy's a serious athlete. I think it's going to be a very good match.

I've never seen him fight, just seen him briefly on a tv show he hosts called bully beatdown. Is he any good?

 

Personally, I think he's over rated. He's more of a colorful character than a fighter, IMO. He has some of the craziest entrances into the ring.

He lost to GSP way back, and he's also lost to Shields. His most impressive win was probably over Robbie Lawler.

 

I don't see him making any impressions in the Middleweight division. He doesn't stand out as a great fighter and kinda shocked to see Dana signing him to a multi fight deal--- ALTHOUGH!!! He has a fan base from the Bully Beatdown TV show and maybe Dana thinks some fans will follow him.... It's all about the money....

 

Time to sign Nick and make that fight finally happen. You can say no to Coker but you can't say no to Dana.

 

Nick says he is bored with MMA and wants to start boxing. He is a strange dude after listening to alot of his interviews.

 

He's always stoned!!!!!!

 

Pick 'em for this weekend;

UFC 129: St-Pierre vs. Shields

MAIN CARD (PPV)

* Champ Georges St-Pierre vs. Jake Shields (for welterweight title) My boy either knocks him out or takes a decision.
* Champ Jose Aldo vs. Mark Hominick (for featherweight title) I want Hominick to win because he's Canadian, but beating Aldo is a tall order.
* Jason Brilz vs. Vladimir Matyushenko Never thought Vladi was anything special, and now he's past his prime anyways.
* Randy Couture vs. Lyoto Machida If Randy can clinch Machida, he's got a shot, but we all know how hard that is to do.
* Mark Bocek vs. Ben Henderson I want Bocek to win, but Ben is looking to make a statement.

PRELIMINARY CARD (Spike TV)

* Nate Diaz vs. Rory MacDonald Always love watching any of the Diaz bros fight.
* Jake Ellenberger vs. Sean Pierson

Seriously This is SUCH A GREAT CARD. But I really cant see past the GSP vs Shields fight. GSP has to win this fight!!!!! I don't know why i've been so nervous about this fight. I couldn't even watch those preview show or anything about it. Anyway.....
GSP over Shields
Ofcourse Aldo
I'd LOVE to see Couture win but I don't think so!
I'm a Ben Henderson Fan, So, GO BEN!
Vladi needs to go back to being a janitor. Not that he doesnt have a chance, but He's been around a while.
I'm always rooting against Nate and tomorrow won't be any different!

 

Picked up my tickets last night! My first time seeing an event live!

Can't wait for this one, its going to be historic!

Anyone else going to be attending tonight?

55,000 people chanting GSP! Its gonna be loud

 

Hypothetically speaking, what happens to Machida if he loses? That would make 3 losses in a row. I doubt they would cut him but that would certainly not bode well for him/UFC.

 

He will be forced to watch first season of Desperate Housewives.

 

Most of the key MMA guys are staying at the hotel beside my gallery. A few are car guys....including Dana White. I met Chuck Liddell - he is huge.

Morry

 

Well, it was a lackluster final fight, but GSP pulled it out...

I think both guys were worried about eachother.
