The MMA Thread. BJ Penn Didn't Die #HeDeadThough

IMO, he didn’t sound rehearsed for his last interview. He sounded terrified, like he was genuinely afraid he was going to be permanently blinded. I thought he was going to break into tears. :lol:

watch gsp vs pitbull its funnier. his bitching bout his groin was amazing…nigga basically mentally tapped out til jackson is like…“you are not fucking up a good thing for me!!!”

Randy looked very good in the first round. I was surprised his stand-up was competitive with Lyoto. Randy was FAST

Randy can still compete in the UFC if he kept fighting. He could beat Tito and other guys for sure. Too bad it was his last fight.

lol randy’s a damn saiyan gets stronger and faster after every match

I always thought GSP was the worst person to do pre fight hype with.

studdering ass idiot. nigga is lucky is a big ass pretty dude…he would get no play otherwise. 0 swag.

lol im finally watching the nate diaz fight…hahahaha rory felt the spirit of eddy guerrero.

Damn, you Americans are salty bastards. Salty in Street Fighter, salty in hockey, salty in MMA. Hilarious.

Granted, GSP got hurt bad this fight, but he still won the fight.
All of you complaining about GSP not finishing, blah blah, it’s true, but you try fighting in a cage risking your own health.
GSP fights smart, safe, and wins. It doesn’t make sense rushing in like a fool and getting knocked the hell out just to make “fans” happy

MMA striking at it’s best.

I still blame Serra for punching the fighting spirit out of GSP. GSP used to want to fight. Now he just wants to compete. Still a great fighter though.

^_-;

English - The language of looooove? :lol:


[media=youtube]JEDAHzU5sr4[/media] is a video of what people believe is GSP’s eye socket trying to consume Jake Shields’ whole arm.

I’m a sucker for a chick with a british and “south american” accent. :lol: I swear if I hear Kate Middleton or Pippa speak I will fly over to England and take them away from the royal family. :rofl: And I am laughing at y’all for thinking that GSP fights are boring. There are plenty of other things boring in this world than GSP fighting…like the triple option offense. :rofl:

Kate Middleton and her sister are what we would call posh totty over here :tup:

drools

sad but true

No… Machida fights smart safe and wins… GSP jabs or takedowns his way to victory on points >_<

And rushing in to get KO’ed? By Jake Shields and his sub par striking? (for a professional of course) The criticism comes from the fact that GSP’s striking and takedowns are supposed to be so good and how Jake Shield’s only option was to somehow take him down and submit him… and that GSP couldn’t do anything significant.

Shields looked small. The prelims were fucking awesome go watch them.

GSP boots up to safe mode once again, it works, but not very interesting to me. Still a good show despite a GSP nap inducing performance. Unless he is pushed the same shit is going to keep happening.

no true. bj penn would like to have a word with you

Almost successful troll was almost successful =D

Nah, as someone who’s been hating on MMA striking since the beginning of this thread, I gotta admit MMA striking is improving with the new generation of mix martial artist. Aldo/Hominick proved that last night. Still not the greatest, but still no where as bad as it used to be.

But yeah, as dominating as GSP’s been with his striking, it’s still so damn limited. Jab, jab, jab, feign leg kick jab, superman punch, leg kicks, straight. That’s it. Make matter worst, GSP has very average power in his strikes.

Shields turned out to be the MMA equivalent of a counter-pick to GSP. GSP can’t grapplefuck/GnP him, and Shields can, as Serpent so eloquently put it, tank everything GSP throws it him, it made perfect sense that fight turned out like that.

Seriously, if MMA champion fights were 10+ rounds, I could see Shields wearing GSP down and winning that fight.

GSP/Diaz just got a lot more interesting.

Diaz can and will tank GSP and walk him down. Diaz will take all that jab to the face and talk shit at how weak it is. How will GSP react? Will he fear/give too much respect to Diaz’s ground game?

Diaz can beat GSP in the standup, but GSP will just take him down at will.

And when Diaz tries to use his rubber guard and BJJ from the bottom his leg will just mysteriously slide off GSP’s back like BJ Penn’s leg did.

Fighters from camp Jackson where GSP trains have been accused of being slippery. Marquardt from that same camp even admitted doing a pre-fight workout for extra sweat and slipperiness vs Palhares

GSP will beat Diaz by decision

What is it with Diaz’s camp constantly saying that he would fight GSP if the price was right? Dude was paid at least $150k just to tool Cyborg Santos. I’m sure the UFC will pay a decent amount. Diaz is just looking for a good pay because he knows he won’t be getting that win bonus.
