How soon is now? Where are your picks twink?

[suckmymuscle]

  So Coltrane will lose again, and there will be nothing out of this. You know, Coltrane, you should give Whorewell something in exchange for him beating you ad infinitum. How about you delete your account? Or at least admit the obvious, namely, that Strikeforce has the best heavyweight division, the most important division?

Going out on a limb with Belfort.  I'm thinking it's time Silva is dethroned.  Sonnen just laid out the blueprint.  But, regardless, i'm picking Belfort to make it interesting (against my better judgment).

Otherwise, great card.  Tough call was the Griffin/Franklin fight.  Could really go either way.


Suckmymuscle, why don't you make a prediction too?  

[coltrane]

I'm up by one fight going into the main event.  YOU CAN ONLT TIE twinkie!

[George Whorewell]

Gmafb- I picked every single fight correctly except that god awful snoozefest between two mediocre chumps. If I pick the main event right, I win. Nuff said.

[coltrane]

How do you figure?  I've pick one more correctly at this point than you...unless you switched your pics.  I printed them out last week and they're sitting in front of me.  I have you right where I want you.  Belfort wins, I won....he loses, we tie.

[coltrane]

Ruedinger lost.

[coltrane]

The rules were most total pics win.  Not just main event.  If we tie we pic on the Jones rua card.

[George Whorewell]

Ok. Fair enough. However, I will say again that nobody gives a shit about prelims and the main event always matters more than the undercards.

[George Whorewell]

Well, that was fast. Till the 19th of March we go again.

[coltrane]

Wow!  P4P right there.

[George Whorewell]

I hate Andersons guts, but that is one of the most amazing knockouts I have ever seen in any sport. He really is one of the greatest and definetly p4p the best right now.

[coltrane]

I can't see gsp doing anything against him.  Actually Jones might be a good matchup

[George Whorewell]

I totally disagree. The only guys who can beat Silva are world class grapplers. Agressive strikers have no shot. Point blank. GSP is a top 5 wrestler in all of MMA. He would fight totally differently than Vitor did tonight. I give it a 50/50 for GSP.

  Sakuraba in his prime would have destroyed Silva. Much more heart, power, superior grappling and wrestling and almost super-human ability to take damage. I remember the fight between Sakuraba and Wandy, when Sakuraba was 170 lbs and Wandy was a ripped, juiced 210 lbs and Sakuraba took multiple knees to the head, the same one that knocked out Rampage, and he he kept going and going. The fight ended in a decision and Wandy won, but damn, how could a middle-weight withstand that onslaught? Sakuraba is the greatest middleweight ever. No wonder, since he was a PRIDE guy and PRIDE is better than UFC. Anderson was also a PRIDE guy and thus worthy of being second best ever in his weight class.
