UFC 111 Discussion thread (SPOILERS)
 

Been looking foward to this for a while, first British guy to fight for a world title :)

Is there a stream?

Shame the British guy is going to get killed :)

This match is fucking hot!

Fair play to Miller in that second round, great defense.

Come on Miller. I have money on you lol

lol god damnit. I said in Tipsters that Miller would win by RNC in Round 3 and he would've won that way had time not expired.

Thought it could have gone wither way.

Come on, Saunders. :(

I've got Fitch to win, be very suprised if he doesn't.

Should've known better not to predict Fitch winning by decision.

Some pro shit there by Pellegrino

Yeah he finished the fight well.

Drowning Pool :)

Here we go

rofl Lesnar boos

lol, he loves that shit though

Mir looking pretty jacked nowadays

Carwin round 1 again!

fuck you dana white

woooooooooo carwin, why didn't I carrt on with that for my bet :(

Dude, even Carwin looks small next to Brock. I know he was wearing shoes, but it was MUCH smaller. Not just a little bit.

I am shocked and impressed by Shane just crushing Mir.

Time to see if he can stand up against Brock.

Alright... Rooting for Hardy, expecting GSP.

Come onnnnnnnnnnnnn.

Did GSP get lost on his walkout :)

Fuck, come on.

Man GSP is just relentless.

Wow.

More words, Danny.

Sorry, GSP dominated the first round. Had Hardy on the floor for most of it, in control.
Then at the end he went for the armbar, had it locked in, looked like Hardy was going to tap and then he got out.

Hardy has nothing to defend against GSP's takedowns.

I didn't think Hardy had a chance here. Sounds about right so far. Plus, Hardy seems like a cock face.

I like Dan Hardy , plus he's from a city near mine.

The only way to beat GSP is to catch him. Thats it. No amount of takedown defense will keep you from being on the ground if youre in the cage with GSP, hell....even BJ Penn, who has incredible takedown defense, got taken down alot by GSP.

GSP is unstoppable, he needs to move up a weight class and test himself.

Hardy has absolutely nothing against GSP.

Wow... was GSP really "too nice" to break Hardy's arm? Cause that's what it looked like to me...

I'll give Hardy insane props for not tapping...

I seriously think GSP was too nice though... Not in the armbar, but in the Kimura. It seems like he had it on, he wrenched it, and when Hardy didn't tap, he sort of had this "WTF" look on his face, but he stopped wrenching it. I mean, in a way, I can respect not wanting to seriously injure your opponent, as opposed to someone like Mir, who would have just broke his arm.

What I find incredible is the after-fight interview.

"I made stupid technical mistakes, so I will watch the tape with my coach and get better".

I know I'm not an expert, but he has to be really dedicated to find a fault when he dominated like that.

And props to Hardy for being a tough mofo. Thought he would tap out like three times.

Dude, come on, he fucking apologized to his fans for his performance, and promised to come back better.

HE fucking DOMINATED Hardy, and felt the need to apologize. He's a freak!

I acknowledge and respect GSP. But I fucking LOVE Hardy after that performance. I wish he had a chance to really bang.

yeah i am a big hardy fan now too. GSP is getting a little boring just laying on people all the time.

Boring, yet overwhelmingly effective.

I’d love to see GSP test the water at 185 while he keeps putting on the muscle.

UFC 117: Silva vs. St. Pierre?

I'm not sure it will happen that quickly. I think St. Pierre would have to have a tune up fight at Middle weight. Seriously, I think St. Pierre would probably be fighting at 204.9 pounds his whole career at middleweight.

I liked Hardy's attitude after the fight but his fight itself did nothing for me to become a fan of his. The dude got beat up and offered NOTHING. He landed maybe 1 punch and survived submissions and bad positions. I think Georges is upset because he let Hardy escape countless bad positions.

Props to Hardy for surviving 25 minutes, but all he did was get beat up for 24 minutes.

Also, I don't know what makes that a "boring" fight. Sure it wasn't the stand up and bang war that we all love, but man, GSP dominating, and imposing his will was a thing of beauty. He could've raped Hardy for 25 minutes and Hardy couldn't stop it.

You greatly under estimate Dan Hardy's rape defense.

And it's not GSPs fault that Hardy could not handle his riddum... ie stuff his take downs for even a second.

He (hardy) came out of that fight looking better off than both Alves and Fitch. I think that's gotta count for something.

In all fairness, it may be because GSP decided not to try strike on the feet. When he bothered striking he tagged Dan a good few times.

could have ended up looking the same as Jonny Boy Fitch.

What? He was horrifically beaten the entire fight. He was completely shut out by GSP. How did he come out looking good? He came out looking like he should've never gotten a shot at the belt, just like many people were saying for months.

Jake Rossen said he'd love to see GSP vs. Wanderlei...now I do too.

I agree but he did look tough for hanging in. But he got shut out in a performance GSP wasn't even close to be happy with. IMO he's a mid level guy and will never be more than that.

Just wanted to post my new sig, and since it's from this PPV, it's technically on topic...

Yeah he seemed like a douche all the while before the fight started and GSP looked calm and focused like a real fighter but he seemed humbled at the end.

I'm watching the Kimura right now and it seemed like GSP was resting. He only yanked once and didn't put much pressure on it the rest of the time and then Hardy slipped out and Rogan's all like whoa i can't believe he got out.

Maybe he didn't look so defeated compared to Alves or Penn but he still didn't do anything.

GSP is like the reverse of Anderson Silva. You don't want to stand up with Silva you want to take him down. With GSP you don't want to be on the ground. Stand up is your best option.

People also forget that GSP is a deadly striker too, been taking Karate his whole life. He started as striker, hard to beleive.

You don't see much of his stand up but he seems a much better striker with every fight but one lucky shot will rock him and that's your opening to take him down. Being a big fan of his it was hard to see the clip of him getting worked by Serra back then just because of one good shot.

One good shot from anyone can do it though, plus he bounced back and destoryed Serra. Serra got lucky, and even he knew it, and thanks god everyday for it.

I was watching the fight with a huge Dan Hardy fan and he was pissed the entire fight. He kept calling GSP a pussy and a faggot for taking him down all the time. He got pissed when I said:

"It's Hardy's fault the fight keeps going to the ground. Learn some take down defense then talk shit and fight GSP. Don't fight GSP and then learn takedown defense."

Hardy has a huge heart. I didn't think much of the guy before the fight but I earned a lot of respect for him and his ability to take a beating. He wasn't ready for GSP, and may never be. No one in the welterweight divison is ready for GSP.

I hope Hardy's next fight is against Koscheck. Koscheck should beat Hardy the same way GSP did (albeit not as dominant) but Koscheck isn't as disaplined as GSP and would have the hubris to stand with Hardy.

On one hand, I understand George St. Pierre’s respect for his opponent in not wanting to break his arm. On the other hand, what if they had gotten stood up and Dan Hardy caught and floored him with a right hand? It might be beneficial for GSP to have that incident under his belt.

As for his style, I have no problem with it. A record with 4 successful title defenses speaks for itself, but to the tools that moan because he isn’t standing and banging: step in the cage and see how brave you are.

I’d love to see his next fight at 185 (August), while the 170 contenders sort themselves out. Silva/GSP for the Middleweight title at UFC 117?

George St. Pierre is the only one who could get a fight out of Anderson Silva, so it’s the only superfight left to worry about, assuming Fedor stays out of the UFC.

GSP has already stated he tried to break the arm

The New Jersey fans are fucking retards.. They boo'ed Fitch for doing to Saunders exactly what Couture did to Tito..

GSP is amazing..

I came alittle in my pants when Carwin fucked up Mir..
