Who's looking forward to seeing Couture vs. Machida? That will be a pretty badass fight
I like how George keeps calling him Jake Shield.Anybody watching UFC primetime, kind of like the boxing 24/7 series. Pretty good series, just gets you more excited to watch the fight.
Get the **** out. ....did that happen??I watched the weigh ins and Bendo came in at 156.5. I read on another forum that he had to shave his head to make weight, lol.
I read that on Sherdog and then later read on Yahoo that Bendo made weight within the allotted time given after failing the first weigh-in.Get the **** out. ....did that happen??
GSP fights are so boring I dont know why i even bothered watching it when i called another boring decision win like 4 months ago.I gotta say I just dont understand the gameplans against GSP. Shields only attempted 6 takedowns?
Also, GSP is starting to bother me a bit. He never seems to have a sense of urgency about finishing a fight. Not that the opportunity presented itself last night, but it would be nice for him to finish a fight rather than apologizing afterwards for not finishing. I have a great deal of respect for him, and he is one of the greatest 170lbers ever, but sheesh.
Now he will fight Diaz (DW wants to make it happen) and he will get a decision against him as well. I hate to say it, but I wont pay for a card with GSP on it until he fights at 185.

If that's the case, then he'll be out for at least a year.yeah gsp sounded like he could have damaged his retina.
That sucks.. I never want to see someone get an injury like that.If that's the case, then he'll be out for at least a year.
GSP's eye filled with blood, but there's no "serious damage"
Posted By Anton Gurevich UFC News
Speaking on MMAWeekly.com Radio, Firas Zahabi (GSP's head trainer) gave an update on Georges St. Pierre's injury, revealing that the UFC Welterweight Champ's left eye is filled with blood, but there's no serious damage such as detached retina. Georges St. Pierre was hit (or poked) in the eye by Jake Shields in Round 3, which resulted in a blurred vision for the rest of the fight. But despite getting injured, the French-Canadian managed to remain in control, leaving the Octagon with a Unanimous Decision victory and his sixth UFC Welterweight title defense:
“The doctors were very worried it was a detached retina because they couldn’t see inside his eye. They flashed the light inside his eye and normally they’re supposed to be able to see inside the eye, but the eye was filled with obstructions. The doctor was saying he couldn’t see inside, so he needed to go to a specialist. Luckily it was just blood in the eye and not the detached retina. This occurred after the swipe to the face.
The doctors are saying he’s going to have a complete recovery. I’m really happy with that. He just can’t do any training for 10 days, he has medication to take, and he has to do this treatment, and then they’re going to reassess him in 10 days, but they say he’s going to make a full recovery.”
Ten days or not, Georges St. Pierre was suspended by The Ontario Ministry of Consumer Services for 60 days, and requires an approval of an ophthalmologist before he can return to action (source:BloodyElbow.com). According to rumors, Georges St. Pierre's next opponent could be the Strikeforce Welterweight Champion Nick Diaz, probably sometime this Fall. Nick Diaz is currently on a 10-fight winning streak, with 6 TKO and 3 Submission finishes.
