I got from a UFC fan article.
Georges St. Pierre Vs. BJ Penn The prodigy vs Rush. This one is going to be the one to watch. Not just because it is a lead up to something, but because both fighters have something to prove. Rush is trying to prove she should face Matt Hughes again for a belt after a defeat, and Penn is trying to prove he should face Hughes again after he left the belt and beat Hughes. Can Rush beat one of the few men to have made Hughes Tap? I think he can. I am going out on a limb and saying that GSP will TKO or KO Penn. Why? Well when you look at the numbers you will see that GSP is actually better on paper for stats. He has lost one fight and that was to Hughes. He has thrown down with some big wigs and he takes them out by tap or KO . Penn has a great record as well, but he has left more guys loss up to a judge than GSP and even his wins were not entirely one sided recently. Okay, so you have to beat the man to be the man, and Penn has beat the man, but GSP has some speed and youth on his side. Penn has never faced as unorthodox a fighter as GSP as well. I am saying GSP will beat Penn?70/30 chance of that happening. Still close, but GSP to win?quote me on that! |

All this GSP talk is making me think Penn will win even more.

I just saw the Penn/Hughes fight for the first time today. I'm officially like 10x more excited about Penn/GSP now. I can't help but be a fan of both, though I'm a fan of Hughes as well. I guess its a win/win/win situation for me. Either way it goes, these 3 guys are going to be at the top of the division for a while.

I rate both fighters hightly but I seriously believe a lot of people are underestimating Penn. I did it when he fought Matt Hughes and there's no way I'll make the same mistake twice.

I'm in no way under-estimating Penn, it's a 50/50 chance...Penn is one hard motherfucker...he lost a questionable decision to Ryoto Machida, in a fucking heavyweight fight. I saw that fight, and that was a draw at best for Machida, and Machida has stopped Franklin and Bonnar at 205.
Also he handled Gomi with ease a few years back, I mean he left Gomi a bloody mess, and absolutely dominated him all over the place, standing, ground, submissions...everying. And there's the obvious assraping of Matt Hughes, where he made Hughes look like he should be fighting prelims for the ufc nevermind being their welterweight champion. But St. Pierre is a dominant force...sure he lost to Hughes, but he's gotten about a billion times better since then, and in that fight he was dominating until Hughes got lucky. It is really intriguing, and I think both guys should be very weary of both men's abilities to end a fight. Look at St. Pierre's last 3 fights as well; absolute dominance of that Mayhem Miller guy, which you could tell Georges was half asleep for. He then proceeded to make Frank Trigg look like he's never trained for a fight in his life, and dominated him more than Matt Hughes ever did. Lastly there was his fight with Sean Sherk, who is no slouch either, and George absolute made mincemeat out of him. You could hear Sherk groan when Georges broke his nose. These are two extremely, extremely bad dudes going up against one another. It is a 50/50 chance for either, but I'm going to go with Georges, just because I want him to win, to represent Canada, plus I want guys to come over from Japan to fight St. Pierre, for some new exciting Welterweight fights. If Penn wins and beats Hughes, we're basically in the same situation we were a few years back. Mind you I am a new MMA fan, but with the power of Google video and Youtube, as well as UFC Unleashed, I know my shit and have seen A LOT of fights. |

I agree , I jus think it might be GSP's time to shine, and this could be the first step towards a rematch with Hughes.

Well seems like GSP and Penn is the highlight of UFC:58
Is it just me or... Is Diego taking a step down in competition? HE beat Nick Diaz at the second finale now he gets Alessio at 58. Thats what i dont like about the whole canada vs usa thing. They seem to have made forced bouts. Diego should be fighting Sherk imo. |

They should have done the PPV in Montreal. That's the only bad thing I can say about it.

Oh man, it'd be electric if St. Pierre took on Penn in Montreal. Same for Loiseaux vs. Franklin

Oh dude he is sooo bad ass.
Basically he is out of hospital after being stabbed in the heart. And I don't know how the fuck he managed this but he is actually in training for a fight. I think around April but not too sure. UFC are dying to get him back but he can't get into the U.S |

I left the UFC after party in London like 45 minutes before him and Tito fought in the streets. My mates were calling me the next day and were like "oh Lee knocked out Tito Ortiz! it was fucking ruuuuuuuuuude!!!!". Me -

I don't know the details really. I've heard plenty of stories but I only go by what my friends told me since they were there. They said Lee was totally sober and Tito was kinda drunk and it was a joke that got out of hand so they went outside to fight (both in dress shoes and trousers) and Lee unloaded kinda on the blind side and KO'd Tito.
Edit - And when I say KO, it was like he knocked him down and then people pulled him away and picked Tito up. |

well it's still impressive being that Tito has quite a bit of weight on him.

Yeah but on the flip side, any sober man who fights for a living could probably KO a bigger fighter who is drunk.

Bonnar vs. Jardine at the next Ultimate Fight Night. That'll be a good one, both are pretty aggressive and like to bang.

That All Access last thursday, I couldn't place where I had seen his house and gym before. It was on the Beyond the Glory special Franklin was in.
Can't wait for the The Crow vs Ace fight on March 4... Also the Penn vs. GSP will be great for sure. |

I had my DVR set to record the Pride shows on FSN. I usually only see one pop up on the list evey few weeks, but I checked my recorded shows for the week and there were like 5 or 6 on this week. Sweet!

Rich Franklin Vs. David Loiseau
On paper this one looks great. Franklin and Loiseau should be neck and neck with Rich ahead by a bit. But you have the X factors. First off Rich has a heavy fist and looks for the Ko, David is more prone to being fluid and trying to submit or KO the guy. Rich is a dirty boxer with good striking skills but fairly run of the mill. David is way out of left field with his tactics and Rich has never faced someone like this. I am not going to guess on this one outright. I would say that if David comes with his uniquely his A game he has a 70% chance of getting Rich. But my gut is going with Rich on this one. I would say he is about a 60/40 favorite to win. |

Odds on Loiseau right now are +230, that sounds like a pretty good bet just on the chance he might land some elbows and win with a stoppage. Very tempted.

I find GSP vs. BJ Penn to be the far more intriguing fight myself.

I'll go Franklin over Crow but like others said i wouldn't be so suprised if the crow go it.
BJ over GSP altho GSP is the mofoin MAN. Sanchez vs Alessio is CANCELLED. Due to illness concerning Sanchez. |

Another fight is cancelled Florian vs Stout. Florian is complaining about his back pains in this past few weeks so UFC cancelled the fight. Anyway at least the 2 main bouts are still in there. The bets on GSP vs Penn are equal.
