Frankie can't catch a break against Henderson. Not that I think he won that fight but wow, it comes down to such a slim margin every time they battle and he's always on the wrong end of the decision.

Great fight and I'm sure Frankie will keep grinding at the bit or die trying. :cuss:

He'll get Aldo next and that should be another great fight.

I just don't see how anyone can find his strategic striking style boring. I appreciate that aspect of MMA. He did the same thing Condit did to Diaz and it was brilliant. Now boring would be watching Evans or Fitch lay and pray for 3 rounds.

Anyone watching the presser? Looks like an old Don King boxing press conference. Drunk people tripping, Diaz brothers starting shit heh..,

By far the biggest fight in UFC history could be on it's way.

As much as I love GSP I think Silva's length is going to be tough for him to overcome. I also don't think it's going to be a fight for the fans that like toe to toe bar room brawls, but for those that appreicate the strategic and technical aspect of MMA what a dream come true.

GSP has the style to beat Silva. Pressure, get him on the ground and keep him there. See Sonnen fights (would've liked to see what happened if Sonnen hadn't slipped and fallen trying that spinning back fist). GSP's lay and pray technique would be perfect here.

You might confuse LnP with being boring. GSP didn't LnP with Kos, Shields, or Hardy. The fact that he didn't really try hard to finish in either the Kos or Shields fights are what loses fans for GSP, IMO.

Silva's statements are reeruned as well.... he guarantee's that Sonnen leaves the cage with broken arms, legs, and missing teeth??? I'm sorry dumbass, but the ref would call the match or you would get a tapout before any of that happened.

Clearly, you've never heard of hyping a fight before. Something Anderson literally refused to do for the first fight. Its how you attract more viewers, dumbass.

I remember when there used to be some pretty decent takes in here. Now grappling is easy and you can't break a mans arm should the opportunity present itself.
