Georges St-Pierre Vs. BJ Penn

BJ Takes the rematch! He is coming in prepared and in shape.

Lyoto Machida Vs. Thiago Silva
Lyoto Machida via decsion.
This is going to be an interesting matchup

[hideyoursheep]

I'm looking forward to it because I've never seen St. Pierre fight yet!

I really wanted to see the Serra/ GSP II, but had to miss it!...


I'm going with my gut....StPierre wins because Penn had to put on weight.

Just a hunch....we know how well those work out!

[Sarge]

Did you see the first ST Pierre / Penn fight?
Penn dominated until he gassed.
Apparently he is in great shape now so I am going with Penn.

That Fedor fight was great. Arlovski got flattened!

[hideyoursheep]

Ha!

Arlovski was moving him around the ring...then, POP!

Fedor finds the sweet spot! Almost looked like a desperate punch. He could have lost.

[Sarge]

anyone excited about these matchups?

[Sarge]

Ok here is my official projections

1. Georges St-Pierre Vs. BJ Penn
GSP TKO round 3
My heart says BJ PENN but I am going with GSP

2. Lyoto Machida Vs. Thiago Silva
Machida TKO round 3. Great matchup! Machida is too raw for Silva's sloppy striking.

3. Stephan Bonnar Vs. Jon Jones - Bonner - submission round 2
4. Karo Parisyan Vs. Dong Hyun Kim - The Stungun in a round 2 TKO
5. Nate Diaz Vs. Clay Guida - Diaz submission round 2
6. Jon Fitch Vs. Akihiro Gono - Fitch unanimous decision round 3
7. Manny Gamburyan Vs. Thiago Tavares - Gamguryan Unanimous Decision Round 3
8. Chris Wilson Vs. John Howard - Wilson TKO round 1
9. Jake O'Brien Vs. Christian Wellisch - O'Brien Unanimous Decision Round 3
10. Matt Arroyo Vs. Dan Cramer - Arroyo submission round 1

Guida / Diaz was great!

[Sarge]

Guida didn't do shit. He never hurt Diaz at all. All he did was hold and a few takedowns.
He was getting killed in the standup.
He has went to decision like the last 6 out of 7 fights.
The guy is boring

[Sarge]

Parisian has man tits.. Looks out of shape

[Sarge]

I think my Armed Forces Network is delayed?
Has Stungun versus Karo Parisyan started?

edit.... just started

[Sarge]

I watched the 3 part series about Penn and GSP
Penn is one funny dude.
His training looked like a joke compared to GSP's though.
I sure hope Penn wins tonight.

[Sarge]

I guess Parisyan pulled out that victory.

Geesh... 2 decisions. Let's see some ko's or submissions!

[Sarge]

Bonner vs Jones prediciting a 2nd round sub.
Bonnar looking flabby. He got busted for roids awhile back..he must have needed them.

[hideyoursheep]

What was this injury he had?

[hideyoursheep]

Parisian has man tits.. Looks out of shape
i was thinking the same thing...

[hideyoursheep]

Guida didn't do shit. He never hurt Diaz at all. All he did was hold and a few takedowns.
He was getting killed in the standup.
He has went to decision like the last 6 out of 7 fights.
The guy is boring

I thought he was definitely the aggressor in Rnds 1 and 3.

[Sarge]

Machida vs Silva. Should be a great matchup!
Ready to start!

[hideyoursheep]

Fingers, nut kicks...

Machida the cheater?

[Sarge]

Nice ko by Machida. Main event coming up

Fuck it's 6am here

[Sarge]

Fingers, nut kicks...

Machida the cheater?

It was effective though!
He made Silva look like garbage...

[hideyoursheep]

It was effective though!
He made Silva look like garbage...

I guess he got tired of Silva laying on his back!:biggrin:

[hideyoursheep]

Don Ho would be proud!

[hideyoursheep]

How does he defend titles in 2 weight classes if he wins?

[hideyoursheep]

Woah!

Penn is getting owned in rd 2.

[Sarge]

Gesh dude...
I can't believe Penn got dominated like that.

[hideyoursheep]

Gotta give BJ props, though....he wasn't about to quit.

Anderson Silva next for GSP?

[redblkwht]

lol and the winner is? i didnt get the ppv just got home from wk..:bigboobs:

[Sarge]

BJ Penn's corner gave up between rounds 4 and 5

He was getting dominated..

[ULTRAMAN VH]

This was a great UFC card. The fighters really displayed some martial prowess. I was rooting for Penn, but had an uneasy feeling he would be overpowered by George St. Pierre. George has really developed his ground and pound and with that blend of core strength he is really standing above the pack. Machida impressed the hell out of me. Silva is a beast coming out of one of the toughest MMA schools in Brazil and Machida just bitch slapped him. Another impressive showing was this young kid Jon Jones. I could not keep up with the various techniques he was applying on a stunned Bonner. This kid has alot of weapons in his arsenal and the only thing he seemed weak on was his stamina, which can easily be addressed with some more cardio work in the gym. It was good to see Clay Guida upset the street thug, Nate Diaz.

[hideyoursheep]

I agree Jones has lots of potential, as long as he stays disciplined, he has the tools to make a good fighter..his competition last night wasn't that great, IMO.

Machida vs Silva gets my vote for fight of the night. The eye poke wasn't a flagrant as Henderson's 2 weeks ago, so I'll forget that one. He has a great style...and he wasn't about to leave it up to the judges. I'm going to start following this guy closely!

I wasn't impressed with Guida, but I was less impressed with Diaz...he came off like a :knob: with the showboating....he's not Sugar Ray for fuck sakes!

St.Pierre had a great game plan. He leaned into Penn the 1st round, trying to wear him down, and ran the show the rest of the way. It didn't look good for Penn...going up in weight class against the champ in that division is a tought task. He's better off @ 155.

[Sarge]

I don't like Clay Guida, because he can't finish fights. Who wants to see a fight go to a decision.. everytime?!
Jon Jones looked good against Bonner. He needs to really work on his cardio if h is going to make a run in the devision.
I was rooting for Penn, but GSP looked way bigger and stronger.

Breasts,
Sarge

[hideyoursheep]

I want Fedor vs Lesner!

Don't know how good it would be, but it would be interesting.
