Torrent at fcz. Need an invite?

fufu

Nah, you already sent me one before. I always forget the name of that site.

It was a lil dig at ya fufu. I knew I sent you one and wondered why you didn't already have the prelims downloaded. The torrent is in good resolution compared to the quality of the online stuff, and the download takes all of about 12 minutes. Nowadays they come in avi format mostly so you just click and watch.

fufu

It's good shit.

Babalu destroyed Heath. I think Babalu landed more shots from guard than Heath did from on top. That was a sick submission as well. Heath will remember not to spit on Babalu in the future.

Lol ... Kos got what he was worth. If Kos had won he'd have made $70,000 more for a total of $80,000.

Randy beat Gonzaga while fighting with a broken arm. Now that's imressive ...

Pedigree

Truthfully - I picked Koscheck to win that fight! In my mind, Kos comes out, takes GSP down right away and sucks the life out of GSP by dominating him on the ground. I was completely shocked when Georgie took Kos down early and dominated him! It was an impressive win for GSP, but I have a hard time finding anything impressive about a " 4-time D-1 Collegiate All-American Wrestler" being taken down at will and pounded on for 15 minutes. He could be in the top ten, but if he is, there is a huge gap between # 1-2 and #10.

BoneCrusher

That's fucked up ... lol.

ReproMan

There is a huge gap between 1-2 unfortunately.

I look at it this way. A few months ago (before he was embarrassed by Serra) GSP was without a doubt the top 170lb'er and considered by many to be the one of the best if not the best P4P fighter in the world. Best P4P fighter in the world is a serious moniker. Prior to GSP being the best @ 170, it was Matt Hughes.

Matt Hughes was the most dominant champion any organization had ever seen, amongst the best P4P fighters in the world and GSP not only beat him, he destroyed him. Hughes looked like it was his 3rd professional fight, total domination.

Same with Sherk, comes from a serious wrestling pedigree and GSP not only beat him at his own game but demolished him and stopped Sherk for the first and only time in his career. Prior to that Sherk had lost one time in his career, you guessed it, a decision loss to Matt Hughes.

Another wrestler Frank Trigg, completely dominated by GSP in every fashion and choked out like a newb.

Koscheck did better than all of these guys, he avoided damage on the ground, successfully defended a wicked Kimura attempt and even reversed and took down GSP in the first round which I don't remember ever happening. All by a guy who is a relative newcomer to MMA and relies heavily on pure athleticism and wrestling skill. So yeah, you could say I was defintely impressed with the Koscheck I saw the other night.

I picked Kos to win too, but I expected him to land one of those crazy overhead rights he was throwing. I also expected him to shoot first but GSP is the man. Hats off to the best WW in the world, Georges St. Pierre.

Randy's arm being broken:

BoneCrusher

Any one say at what point in the fight this happened? Zag's nose is already a mess in that shot so we know it's not at the beginning of the fight.

bigss75

I think it was the begining of round 3 like 10 seconds in
