Jon Fitch. 5 rounds with GSP, amazing.

[voggmo]

He will be one of very few to say he went 5 rounds with St Pierre. As for Brock Lesnar, I hope he gets demolished.

Sports topics go to the Sports & Fitness forum, voggmo.

Moving this there...

Never heard of it.

 

[voggmo]

Well, no MMA fans here it would seem.

I haven't seen Lesnar for a long time, but if he's the monster he was when he was a wrestler I suspect most will struggle against him.

 

[voggmo]

He has to have special extra large size gloves specially made for him. No other UFC fighter has hands as wise as his. He smoked the Texas Crazy Horse, but was very arrogant about it afterwards.

 

[Hermiod]

^Who, Lesnar ? Arrogance doesn't surprise me. The guy's a beast, though, as a wrestling fan I've never seen a guy that size with that much technical wrestling skill.

His feud with Kurt Angle (who has "experiences" with MMA of his own ) is one of the ages.

 

[voggmo]

He's got amazing wrestling skill. Texas Crazy Horse has 41 MMA fights, been in with the best. Leznar controlled him with ease.

There is now talk of him & Fedor fighting.

 

[Hermiod]

It's difficult for us Brits keep up with UFC but I'd certainly be interested in seeing Lesnar fight.

 

[voggmo]

UFC 89 will be in Birmingham.

I didn't know it was on Setanta Sports here.

 

[voggmo]

It's really exploding. I was at Rite Aid, ( a chain drug store here in the states), & they had a cardboard stand selling icechests with UFC ads all around it. The world's greatest sport has come a long way in a short time.

If you want to see a great event, here's the last Affliction Banned with Fedor for 10 $. Megadeth plays also. The Arlovski fight was great, & the Barnett vs Rizzo also. For heavyweight action, this was a great event. Donald Trump was involved.

Oops, forgot link.

Wow, great to find some MMA fans on the TrekBBS!

GSP versus Penn? Haha that would be sweet, but I gotta give it up to Penn

 

[voggmo]

50/50 split for me. If GSP is smart he'll stay out, use his jab & reach with low kicks. Penn hamburgered his face a bit last time, so he'll have to smarten up his strategy.

As to the who is the top MMA cat in the world, there are 4 contenders, Penn, GSP, Spider Silva, & Fedor. I still say Fedor. GSP & Penn have not dominated like he has. Silva has recently though.

 

[Capt. Vulcan]

Didn't catch the last ufc so I only saw highlights of the fitch fight. Looks like GSP dominated but couldn't finish fitch, which I found kind of surprising since he's like a notch below Hughes, and GSP finished Hughes. I was sure that GSP was going to finish Fitch.

BJ vs GSP 1 was basically BJ tooling GSP standing up, till GSP realized he was bigger and stronger, and basically turned in to a wet blanket for the whole fight. If that happens in the second fight, I can't really see BJ winning outside a crafty submission. I'm pulling for BJ though.

 

[voggmo]

GSP took him down 4 times or so in 3rd round. That closed the show.

Penn passed Little Evil's guard easy. It's a great matchup. Strategy will decide it.

Iceman has a serious homework project coming up with Rashad. & Barnett vs Arlovski will be a serious bangfest.

 

[Capt. Vulcan]

Current rumor mongering says that if they can't get the GSP/Penn fight for new years, they're going to try to get a Anderson Silva/Liddell superfight. I'm all for guys going out of weight classes to challenge themselves, but it seems to be getting a bit out of hand.

 

[voggmo]

I suppose. Matt Lindland went up to fight Fedor. Fedor did a nice rope grab cheat, but he got the armbar.

Randt Couture fought 2 guys WAAy bigger than him recently. Tim Silvia & the Brazilian, forget his name. It goes way back this sort of thing. Sakuraba fought Conan who is huge.
