He looked like he was 280+ at the Franklin fight. As for the GSP/Hughes fight, I see GSP going balls out coming out with an impressive stoppage. At least I hope!

Did anyone catch the Matt Serra vs Shoney (forget last name)? It was a great fight. Serra will be a big threat at 155 IMO. |

I like Sherk ... he has the balls to bring his A game every time he hits the show, and he will not puss out ... he just keeps on coming.
My pic's are GSP, Monson. GSP is gonna KO Matt Hughes. His stand up is better than anything Hughes has dealt with to date and won against. Penn rocked Hughes, as has most peeps that have fought him, but GSP will not let Hughes survive the way the rest did. If Penn had not gassed he woulda beat Hughes. Yeah yeah yeah Penn had a busted rib but were talkin' about Penn here ... he is one tuff lil' sumbitch. Penn only lost cuz he gassed and GSP will not gas. Thank God ... I won't have to hear "A country boy will survive" as much any more. As long as GSP avoids the armbar ... Sylvia will have a very short shelf life as champ. His belt is up for grabs to the first guy who can step in the ring and connect. As a big guy he has crazy power, but ya gotta have more than that to hold the belt ... ya gotta have a stout chin. Sylvia has tendency to take naps from the slightest of taps. At 6' it will be tough for Monson to connect with a 6'5" Sylvia standing, but Monson was the shiznit in abu-dhabi. On the ground he will smash Sylvia's face so bad his own momma won't recognise him. Silva has no threats at 185. His Muay Thai/Jiu-Jitsu/Brazillion Jiu-Jitsu are a killer mix of styles that nobody in that weight class can cope with. He should change his mailing address to the Octagon cuz he gonna live there for a looooong time. Any MMA fighter is a role model ... and any fighter who ends his post fight interview with a comment for the kids "... to stay in school and stay outta trouble" is a class act in my book. We need to all keep this in perspective though brothers ... cuz basically UFC sucks. When Hughes is in trouble no fights get stoped, other fighters vs Hughes get in trouble and the ref is in there to "protect the endangered fighter's welfare". Pride does not suck ... Pride fighters in each weight class would own UFC ... and so would the ref's. True story ... Discuss |

They are 2 very different organizations, with 2 different rule sets, even 2 different fighting surfaces. Only dim witted fools like BigDyl and company continue to bring this up for discussion and frankly I see it as trolling.
Silva is without a doubt a head above the rest when it comes to the 185 lb. division in the UFC. However, that division lacks a true ace at the ground and pound game. Rumor has it that Dana White is working on bringing Matt Lindland back to the UFC. If that happens,the chances Silva's potential long title run has diminished 10 fold. I'm am almost positive GSP will take the title away from Hughes. We know he's more talented all around, he's quicker, and if he worked nearly as hard as we all know Hughes did in preparation for this fight, GSP is the new Champion. I favor Monson in the HW match up but do not underestimate the power of Silvia's hands. Monson has a tested chin going the distance with one Chuck Liddell a few years back, and we all know what he is capable of on the ground, but Silva does have 1 hit power. Monson is an experienced boxer so expect him to be able to handle what is thrown at him, expect a take down early, and expect total ground domination for the win. Although Diego has fought a few cupcakes, he does have wins over Nick Diaz and always impressive Karo. I don't know if I've ever seen a fighter with such elusiveness on the ground, and body control when he finds himself on top.He seems to have the knack for doing just enough to win the fight, which is more impressive to me than going out there and dominating. It shows me he can work out of any trouble thrown at him. One more match and I'd like to see him in a title fight. So there you have your debate. Whoopty doo. |

We agree so there is no real debate open. As far as sophmoric I was just tryin to add a lil humor, not offend. Sorry bout the UFC/Pride thing but I'm not in here much over the last year so I missed the over-kill on that. |
