Question. Is there a site to watch Dana White's post fight press conference?

TheGuardian 02-05-2011 11:33 PM

GSP would really work Silva over. Again, a great wrestler is Silva's downfall. And no one is better at that than GSP. GSP's chin would be my only concern.

I'm looking forward to that Strikefoce tournament a lot more than I was looking forward to this. Goddamn, that's going to be some amazing shit.

You know that fight is coming. It'd set all kinds of PPV records.

Fact is, Shogun has a great chin and kicks and hits like a ****ing mule. If anything I don't see what Jones is going to beat Shogun with. Not if Shogun is healthy. Which has always been the only knock on Shogun.

To win the fight, Shogun is going to have to get the fight to the ground...do you really think he can do that. Jones stuffed any kind of takedown attempt Bader threw at him with ease, it's going to be very difficult for Shogun to get him down. Not to mention, Jones looks like he's a weight class larger than Shogun.

Also...Jones has momentum and already is in fighting shape now. He and Greg Jackson can spend the next 6 weeks coming up with a gameplan and train specifically for it instead of worrying about getting into fighting shape. That is a HUGE advantage IMO.

I'm not saying Jones is going to walk through Shogun or anything like that but this is a horrible match up for Shogun stylistically, there's no denying that.

It doesn't destroy anything...the only point I made was that if Griffin can sub Shogun and I don't give a **** when it was that Jones can do it too. That's it.

Ok...I don't think so. Jones is too smart to get Machida'd.

Time to get GSP and Silva together and quit throwing retreads in with these guys.

Agreed.

Sorry about quoting myself.

I think this is key... fans wouldn't have turned on Silva as much as they have, if he'd just done what he did tonight. Whatever you think of him... the dude's an amazing talent. He seems super human at times. It's crazy. Dropped Griffin with a punch that looked like one I'd throw at my son while playing around.

I think peeps are just sick of him. 2006 to now is a long time to rain champ
I dnt think Saint P can beat him either.

Jerm 02-05-2011 11:52 PM

I don't always agree with the shit Anderson does but I'll NEVER get tired of watching him fight...don't see how anyone can.

The dude is flat out nuts.

People got pissed because he's so good he got bored... and started toying with his opponents.

GSP has the best take downs in the game. He should have no trouble duplicating what Sonnen did. It's really 50/50 IMO just depending on if GSP gets caught coming in with some crazy strike.
