Thats why i’m probably gonna vote for GSP :lol:
I would even say that GSP would keep it standing with Shields.
Man, what’s Koschek going to do now? It took him such a long time to get a rematch with GSP, and yet at the end of the day the end result is was the same. Either way, I’m thinking that Koschek will be in the same predicament Rich Franklin was with respect to Anderson Silva. You may be able to beat most the guys in your division, but no matter what you can’t beat the champion.
I think after tonight GSP has very little to prove at 170.
He really should just move up at this point. There really are no more interesting fights left for him. That way he also avoids BJ Penn bothering him about another rematch since BJ is fighting in that weight class now.
Dana said that the GSP/Koscheck fight didnt deserve FOTN, but the Riddle/Pierson fight did.
I think Dana’s definition of FOTN now = 2 guys swinging (or 1 guy recklessly swinging sloppily) + going to decision + blood.
I think the real question is “Why was it in your clipboard?”.
Follow up question would be “Could a brotha get hooked up with a PM for more?”. 
Solid standup by GSP
Koscheck has a pretty good chin/face
Bad eye though.
didnt realize boxers really did that…thought that was sumtin made up for hajime no ippo.
lol…shut up. i never did change my pick hahaha…i still get my damn canadian points. their worth like .2 more than u.s points.
:mad:
Shields has worse takedowns and TDD then Kos. (better overall grappler)
If GSP and his corner is smart (which they are).
Im pretty sure Shields is going to look like John Fitch on his worst day.
Optimus Reem > UFC HW DIV.
Strike Force HW DIV > UFC HW DIV.
If you think Kongo’s striking vs. Cain Velasquez was decent…
(Which btw, he almost KTFO Cain a couple times)
The Reem… you better believe will put Brown Pride back 20 years.
i know exactly what you were referring to.
uhhh yeah shields has worse td than kos…look where he comes from. chuck got him started but gracies where his heart is. ceasar gracie cats dont do td’s unless your fucking melendez. you make it sound like kos is sucky by saying it like that.
:mad:
How does
“Shields is worse at takedowns, and Shields is also worse at takedown defence then Koscheck”
“So GSP will maul Shields worse then what he did to Fitch.”
Sound like
“Koscheck sucks.”
?
Get back to me on that.
pretty fucking much.
i just finsihed watching the k1 grand prix, overeem is such a damn beast. the only way i see him losing to the other HWs would be if he gets caught in a miracle sub fedor/werdum style
you know, if only badr and remy where still in it. that way at least 3 of the 4 half finalists would have had a hard first fight with injuries. now only saki was fucked up because of ghitta. aerts, schilt and overeems first fights where way too easy for this level of tournament. saki was even doing well against reem till that elbow got hit again (which already had a broken bone in it, he even mentions it and he didnt use that arm against reem the whole round). ghitta was no joke, 1,95 and almost 110 kg is the same as reem. i was surprised at spong though, motherfucker gained like 30 kg in 3 years time. he went from 75 kg (his wieght division) to 105 kg. hes actually heavier that reem if you count that his height is shorter than reems yet theres only 3 kg difference between the fighters. dude bulked up like a mofo.
Great card. Kos didn’t put up much of a show, glad to see him get destroyed it’s a pity GSP didn’t knock him out.
Who got fight of the night?? I was most impressed with Tiago
Joe stevenson knock out :looney:
Gsp will man handle shields. He should take him down and smash him just to prove a point like he always does.
Me and thurst were talking about this last nite. Man, as much as i hate Koscheck, i felt bad for him getting abused like that by GSP. Granted i expected it…but damn. This is the exact reason Dana is trying to bring Roach in more. Striking in the ufc as whole is pretty fucking terrible. Josh had no idea what to do the entire fight…think about that for a second.
Even in the Riddle/Pearson fight…Riddler was getting destroyed do to his lack of hands. He was getting counterpunched all nite. Rogan talking about, “Riddle is coming in and staying agreessive”…well yea…he is…but, his jaw is looking real nyc tap waterish right now.
Oh and just to hate on Rogan some more…bc i can…i loled at him saying he never seen a fight be dictacted by a jab before (in regards to GSP vs Kos) well…joey…wtf does that tell you about the UFC?? hmmmm…
Well actually I practice with 20 lbs wrist and ankle weights. At first it sucked, but then it’s pretty sweet. I can only imagine the shit Roach made GSP go through. It’d be sweet if GSP was sweating and heaving and shit, while Pacquiao was in the corner going like “Pfft… what a fucking pussy…” and starts punching bears.
No surprise here GSP proves again why he’s IMO the 2nd best fighter ever very smart use of jabs it kind of reminded me of what Machida did to Evans. I’m surprised no one commented yet on his excellent kicks, the eye injury was nothing compared to what he did to Koscheck’s knee, I’ve never seen someone abuse a knee that badly before literally every few seconds Koscheck had to adjust or touch his leg because his knee was killing him. Everyone has to give props to Koscheck’s take down defense it’s not often people survive let alone successfully negate and then reverse his take down attempts which is what he’s known for. Also Koscheck had more then a few impressive counter swings and let’s not forget he was close to securing the leg lock. GSP needs to move up there’s no one left in WW:rofl:
Yo Allen I agree somewhat but keep in mind the rules of ufc and overall atmosphere make it so 95% of ufc fights go to the ground and usually more time is spent there then on standup so of course fighters are generally going to focus on having a better ground game then standup.
Yeah I have but GSP didn’t even look like he meant to go for the leg he was just shocked sticking it out there worked the first few times and kept going for it without much effort and it produced great results. It looked pretty clear to me and everyone else in the restaurant that he almost had the leglock we all got off our chairs at that moment lol.
i didnt even quote the fitch comment.
