UFC 126

[IC Champion]

Im guessing Rampage felt 6 weeks wasn't enough time to prepare. And for Jones it's gonna be like camp never ended.

[The Mask]

i'd say jones deserves it more than rampage anyway.

[Next Big Thing]

This could definitely be the beginning of the Jon Jones era. He's an early betting favorite over Shogun, but at the same time I have a hard time discounting someone with the experience Shogun has.

Jon Jones vs. Rampage Jackson for the LHW belt one day would put a lot of asses in the seats though. I'm looking forward to the PPV.

Matt Hamill is fighting Phil Davis in Toronto. That fight should be a decent test for Davis and help determine if he's a LHW contender. LHW and lightweight are the most compelling divisions in the UFC right now.

[Jordan]

Jones will take the title for sure.

I'm just now getting to watch the PPV, Silva has yet to disappoint and I were to bet on GSP vs Silva I would put my money on Silva. It seems like he has something figured out that no other fighter has tapped into, maybe it's Steve Segal ahaha, maybe he's just the worlds best warrior. Time will tell.

[Next Big Thing]

Rashad said he'd drop to middleweight or go up to heavyweight if Jones won the title and defended it successfully.

I think he'd get overwhelmed at heavyweight, but middleweight is a good spot for him if he has to leave LHW.

[Savio]

Most def catching that Jon Jones fight.

[Jura]

The kick was well-placed and well-timed and it's been documented that he's been working on it. I think he practices certain moves that can knock someone out with so he probably has an arsenal of moves for a specific moment. I think he is one of the few that can get away with this because almost everyone stays away instead of being aggressive and not giving him any time to plan or any room to breathe.

:eek::eek:

[Stickman]

I'd like to see GSP/Silva, I love them both, but that will be a god awful boring fight. They will look at each other for 5 rounds and not engage.

Steven Seagal helped Anderson Silva with KO front kick (http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/blog/cagewriter/post/Steven-Seagal-helped-Anderson-Silva-with-KO-fron?urn=mma-317407)

I'd love to see Steven Seagal overcome his muffin top and thunder thighs and land a kick like that. I bet it's nothing but fatty grunts and flop sweating when he's on the mat teaching/training.

Live GSP press conference right now: http://sports.yahoo.com/video/player/mma/Live/24106337;_ylt=AtbqMq6Cl0Ca9mhRWdBecW45nYcB#mma/Live/24106337

True, but GSP can afford to be boo'd, Silva really can't at this point, not that Silva would, or should care. That's why I just rushing in for a double or forcing him into the cage and working a single are his best bets, but like you said Silva doesn't wanna let go if he doesn't have to. Its why GSP has to close distance without striking and just shoot, and maybe the first 2 get stuffed, but eventually I think GSP should be able to get him down, now while doing that, he need to avoid counters and knees.

But the point is that Anderson has proven he does not care one way or the other. He will happily dance for five rounds to pick up the victory.

So you are suggesting that GSP should just shoot well if Anderson doesn't respect GSPs hands at all it makes stuffing a shot easier also you are suggesting that GSP should shoot from distance which brings in Anderson kneeing his face off.

GSP needs to set his takedowns with strikes. That is the way he fights. I think his hands are tidy enough to be able to do it but it means getting within striking distance of one of the best strikers in MMA history.

[Reavant]

pete cash is a smart man

[Pete Cash]

I just find the idea of GSP spamming shot after shot silly. Sonnen had to take a few solid strikes to close the distance he also made Anderson respect his striking.

Sonnen is also a lot bigger than GSP.

No doubt GSP can beat Silva but GSP will have to take a strike or two if he wants to get Anderson down. If he just shoots from a distance then Silva will probably just dance away and try and win a five round dance with his reach advantage. Silva may not have great TDD but he is very very fast.

Have you seen footage of them working out? He was making Silva tap out despite barely touching him. Seagal is amazing, like some old man kung fu master or some shit.

[The Mask]

lol what

[CSL]

It wasn't 'competitive' or anything, Silva was giving himself up/allowing Seagal to show him stuff but more than once he touches him for like a second and Silva taps or drops or shouts in pain etc.

[The Mask]

yeah i just wanna see a vid :'(

Anderson is just a lovable funny troll. He did that exact same kick in his fight with Dan Henderson.

[Kris P Lettus]

That video is hilarious..

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

lol The Rogers Centre (The Skydome) is a sell out.
