penn vs gsp...machida vs silva

[20inch calves]

penn and gsp looks like it will be a good one. i think gsp has his work cut out for him. i really like the spike show. kind of undecided on who i want to win now.

i am almost looking forward to the machida fight even more though. i am wondering how he is going to deal with the agression of silva. also i think it is wro0ng that dana has said he is going to give rampage ( if he beats jardine..which he will) a title fight passing over machida again..it wouldn;t suprise me if either of these guys held the title at one point very soon though..any thoughts

machidas style isnt as exciting as rampages imo,machida kinda of counterfights to the extreme.hes a good fighter but hes not my cup of tea.rampage is one of my fav fighters,he goes 110% all the time

Machida = Zzzzzz.......

Machida = Zzzzzz.......

exactly,fans want action,alot of times they dont care if you lose as long as you be aggressive and fight hard.thats why guys like wandy still have a huge following,even though he lost acouple lately you know when he fights you cant even take a quick piss cause you might miss something cool.id rather see wandy fight and lose but give his all then machida fight and win but square dance the whole fight

penn gsp II is going to rock. I just pray it doesnt go to another decision. the point system in mma needs an upgrade, its too easy for gsp to win with just takedowns even though he got his face beat in and almost got choked. if it goes to a decision i can bet bjpenn will when no matter what the points say though, dana needs penn to win so he can cash in on a third fight. (which i'll be happy to see)


I think I am looking forward to the machida / silva fight more too. since I am pretty sure Bj will win, I am more curious who will remain undefeated. its going to be hard to snooze when silva 's coming at him and their pride is on the line. thats just my opinion though.

BJ will knock out GSP.

GSP can't beat BJ on the ground, and he sure can't beat him standing.

GSP's chance his taking BJ to the ground and simply overpowering him. But I think that may be impossible to do, BJ's just too flexible. And he can defend himself well enough from GSP.

Machida will get KTFO. Thiago Silva will just take him down and knock him out. First or second round.

I agree that it will be very hard for GSP to knock out or submit BJ, but i think he will grind out a decision victory.
Silva will GNP machida.


All fighters are extremely skilled, but i give it to Silva and GSP because they are stronger and more agressive.

I think a lot of you guys are sleeping on GSP. He has vastly improved his striking and groundwork since he came to the UFC and he has already beaten BJ. I highly doubt after the beating GSP took in that first round against BJ that he is going to sleep on BJ's striking skills again-- I dont think it goes to decision and I think either guy can win, but nobody in this fight is going to walk right through the other guy.

As far a Machida goes, he is an absolute bore to watch but so far nobody has been able to outlast his countering style. While Thiago is a skilled fighter and a real bruiser in the octagon, If he charges Machida and doesnt have some sort of defined gameplan, I think the result is going to be the same- A  snoozefest with Machida taking the decision/ outlasting Thiago until he gets bored or tired and makes a mistake.

you think machida will get KO'd  i am kind of thinking this is a bad match up for silva. i could be wrong but i think it will be hard for thiago to connect
