Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Me too, both made weight and both looked way more crisp and motivated.
I would have to pick Daley just because, as you say, Daley's TDD gets too much shit. Getting taken down by Kos and Shields and not at will (he sprawled and defended several) does NOT mean anyone can take you down.
Kampmann tried, and failed.
As it is, I think Noons will duck Daley (he called Daley a UFC cast off, which is funny considering Noons could do fuck all in the UFC and Daley was fighting title contenders) as he wants to go to 155 and not get knocked the fuck out.
Daley is right though, he needs another win to call out Nick Diaz, a fight I think he could win frankly.
Mayhem really wants this fight, he will stop at nothing to get it too.
I want Mayhem in the UFC, he almost beat Shields and Jake is now getting treated like the GOAT despite scraping by Kampmann.

I'm just really surprised people think that Shields has much of a chance against GSP. His stand-up blows but his ground game is awesome. Think of the last two people that GSP fought that aren't amazing standing but are good at getting it to the ground: Fitch and Koscheck.
I really don't think there's much more to discuss here. Shields is just one more guy for GSP to put on his record. Let's get it out of the way so the inevitable Silva/GSP fight can happen by the end of the year (and then it can be the new "BIGGEST FIGHT IN UFC HISTORY"). Gotta give Georges time to bulk up, anyway.

Look how Sonnen molested Silva, look how even Maia took it too him at points, then look at how well GSP did against Alves, Kos and Fitch...
The guy has won 30 straight rounds now and looks better every fight imho. Silva has never fought a guy so well rounded and his matrix shtick won't mean shit when GSP double legs him and merks him to a solid UD.
And once GSP has Silva on his back, he's not going to get caught in a submission like Chael. I see a takedown and GnP fest for 5 rounds if they fight.

To be fair, California is the armpit of America, and Stockton is the Asshole of california.
I mean, Stockton really sucks. It's a generally shitty place (excluding Starbucks Girl <3).

I completely agree, I honestly think he was just screwing with Sonnen. Rewatching the positioning when he threw that triangle on, it was available for most of the fight. I see GSP getting KOed pretty early.
I don't see GSP being able to control Silva on the ground. GSP couldn't keep Alves down, Alves got up multiple times (and then GSP would just take him down again). Anderson is bigger than Alves with better grappling and TDD. Chael was able to hold Anderson down, but Chael's said that his true fight weight is 205-210 lbs.
Anderson's muay thai is also better suited to face GSP than Alves'. Anderson's more of a counter-striker, which allows him to use more of his arsenal against a wrestler. Alves is more of an attacking striker, using all of his arsenal makes him much more vulnerable to takedowns. Pretty much every time Alves threw a kick, GSP shot successfully. As a result, Alves simply stopped kicking, and lost his #1 striking weapon (his kicks are better than his punches).
Anderson, as a counter-striker, wouldn't lose his ability to throw kicks because they wouldn't be exposing him further to takedowns, because he's be waiting for GSP to attack first.

This is a thing that is hopefully going to happen: (maybe with some better editing)

This is a thing that already happened:
1. Great news for Bellator. Their deal with FSN was terrible because they were always getting pre-empted by some silly football game. The more exposure for them, the better. Not necessarily great news for me because I don't get MTV2, but hopefully this will mean as they get bigger, they move to a bigger network.
2. I would watch that show in a heartbeat.
3. In that first picture with Butterbean, his shorts have the American Top Team logo on the left leg. I didn't know he trained there and I'm quite surprised that he does.

I lol'd.
Butterbean is a totally legitimate MMA fighter that has fought a long list of people nobody has ever heard of.. and Genki Sudo.
It's worth noting that the black guy submitted due to exhaustion after the second round.
Jake Shields wants a piece of GSP and isn't afraid of his striking

I didn't actually think Kos would pull it off, but nobody else was going to take that bet.

EDIT: Why hasn't NickTheFace been hired by the UFC?

Bellator on MTV2 is awesome news, I hope it applies to the UK, too.
Also Jake Shields bringing up the Hendo and Daley fights as how he's comfortable standing with people is pretty funny stuff, there is no way on earth he actually intends to stand with GSP.
edit: oh yeah this has been on my mind today, after JDS vs Cain, say Cain wins, what good fights are there for him in the UFC HW division? The only really interesting fights for Cain right now are JDS, Overeem and Fedor, to me.
Why do they need him when they have Drowning Pool music and gladiators?
I'm not really pulling for one side or the other. Both sides have been completely retarded in the way they've handled this. One side says a fights been offered, one side says the opposite. I don't really know which side to believe, honestly. I'd like to just get both fighters in a room with a mediator and have them lay everything out on the table to figure this BS out.
I just thought the link was hilarious because Cesar worded it pretty well. It'll be interesting to hear Mayhem's next response.

If its true, I think it was a good decision by Randy. He is just getting too old and lately his fights haven't been all that exciting.
