i would love to see gsp do well in the olympics..lets hope he comes back afterwards and continues the dominance!!I expect this to be GSP's last fight for quite some time. It does suck that he might take a hiatus in the prime of his career, but trying out for the Olympics is something that very few people can do and I hope he does well. It also helps that he has essentially cleaned out an entire division and it will be competitive for the first time in years. He will competing in the 163 lb class and that would scrap any chance for a fight with Anderson because he will probably be retired by that time.
I'd expect BJ to make another run at WW by that time.yeah gsp has to train his ass off just to make it past the team trials and qualifiers....but hey..if he misses it a 163...then maybe he will cut down to rematch bj at his weight instead of bj moving up????? hmmm..id like to see that.
Ya BJ is really starting to prove he is not going to be beat by anyone in the LW except by fluke. It will be nice to see BJ be pushed again.I'd expect BJ to make another run at WW by that time.
I think GSP is a lot of people's kryptonite lol. It does seem like BJ is in a lot better shape now than his previous fights with GSP. He straight up out worked Diego.bj seems to be able to beat everyone.. except gsp, its like gsp is his kryptonite lol
Well spoken. Rematches with Kos or Fitch would be more interesting. I personally can't stand Hardy and think he def needed to fight some top 10 guys before this shot.Hardy has better technical boxing (training with Freddie Roach helps), but overall striking I'd give to GSP. This fight, on paper, is horribly mismatched and I really think that Kos deserves a shot before Hardy. To date, Hardy has beaten 1 top-10 opponent (Swick) and that does not merit a title shot.
I think BJ's performance will be. No one really questioned Diego's title shot, and BJ made him look really bad. Not that I don't think GSP in going to dominate. It's just that a lot of people don't believe Hardy is in his league as it is.Which do u think will end up being a more dominating performance?
What BJ did to Diego or what GSP is going to do to Dan.
Fitch's career is at a crossroads right now as he has had little improvement in his game over the past couple of years. I'd personally be surprised in he beats Thiago because of his improved TD defense. Hell, he had trouble beating Pierce a few months back and he is nowhere near an elite WW.personally i'd like to see fitch fight gsp again...gsp is the only loss on fitch's record for awhile now...kos just seems like he rattles of 2 or 3 wins and then losses...but the question is who will lose first, bj in his weight class, gsp in his weight class, or anderson silva in his weight class
good point, i guess i'm not really impressed by kos, sometimes he looks really good, then the next fight he gets beat...i'd love to see alves fight gsp again but alves really needs to improve his game and get in gear when it comes to his training if he recovers...fight magazine reported several months ago he shows up to the gym real late and stuff...he thinks he's a celebrityFitch's career is at a crossroads right now as he has had little improvement in his game over the past couple of years.

Kos has only lost to the elite of the elite WWs. Losing to Alves (on short notice), GSP, and Paulo is not a bad thing. I don't want to use the term fluke with his loss to Paulo, but that rematch really needs to happen. Winner gets next title shot.good point, i guess i'm not really impressed by kos, sometimes he looks really good, then the next fight he gets beat...i'd love to see alves fight gsp again but alves really needs to improve his game and get in gear when it comes to his training if he recovers...fight magazine reported several months ago he shows up to the gym real late and stuff...he thinks he's a celebrity
That could also show the difference between MMA grappling and BJJ. Matt Serra got a 2nd place in ADCC in 2001 I believe, but has never really been able to use it in MMA.Which may go to show how easy it is to achieve credentials under Eddie Bravo, as Hardy has a brown belt under him.
Mir has stated that he doesn't want to take Carwin out in the first round, but want so take him to the second just to see what Carwin looks like beyond the first.I think Mir gets drawn into a striking battle and KO'd. Though, I would prefer Carwin to lose, setting up Brock/Mir III, and have Carwin battle Cain/Dos Santos to setup a number one contender anew.
There is no other fighter I loathe more than Frank Mir.Mir has stated that he doesn't want to take Carwin out in the first round, but want so take him to the second just to see what Carwin looks like beyond the first.
Look for Mir "allowing" Carwin to enter the second round.
I would be anxious over a Lesnar/Mir III, but I sincerely want Carwin to knock Mir out, though I personally see Mir winning this, to my dismay.
I really don't think that will happen anytime soon. He's just that freak athlete that comes along once a generation. Lesnar has that ultimate intangible for MMA: he's just plain mean and with the talent to implement it.anyone in the heavyweight division needs to humiliate lesnar....i don't care who it is..someone needs to put him in his place asap
You might be too generous as well. This could easily end in the first if GSP wanted to. I hope this looks like one of the most one sided fights so we can see those fancy kicks GSP hasn't pulled out of his bag for a long time.MS, you are being generous. I see this stopped in Rd 2. I give GSP a round to sort of feel him out, then thats it.
BTW, Mir and Carwin....predictions? I am torn. Logically I think Mir takes it by sub in the middle rds, but if he gets caught he will sleep quickly
He really is a mean sob, and has some truly amazing god given talents. I dont know if any of the guys out there can humiliate him let alone beat him unless it is an ideal situation.I really don't think that will happen anytime soon. He's just that freak athlete that comes along once a generation. Lesnar has that ultimate intangible for MMA: he's just plain mean and with the talent to implement it.
I might be too generous, you are rights

Any word on Lesnar's recovery progress?
