That's what I was thinking.

If he wants to win he needs to use that power he showed against hardy and stun gun and catch GSP. But GSP is so damn good at controlling a fight and minimizing danger it could on paper be a boring fight. i love the guy but his last few have been really lack luster dominations with shields koscheck and hardy. he hasnt finished anyone since like 07 right? i know penn didnt come out of his corner so i guess that counts but i dunno i want to see a good fight but these guys are so calculated its hard to
say it will be an all out war


also i agree card is a bit weak otherwise kappman hendricks is ok i mean it could headline a fuel card or something so i will take it


on a related note anyone see they are adding overeem bigfoot to the feb 2 card.. will be a nice tune up for the reem before he smashes the winner of jds cain lol

I'm actually looking forward to Kampann vs. Hendricks more than the main event.

I'm happy they didn't just give Reem the title shot. He should be able to go right through Bigfoot.

Looks like Carwin and Maynard are out of their upcoming fights with injuries.

[GaleForce]

I just read that. The injury bug strikes again...

[b1adesofcha0s]

That's what like 2 or 3 TUF coaches fights in a row now? I wonder who they'll put in against him. Cormier might have been a good match up of he wasn't scheduled for the Strikeforce event in January.

well im a long time biased overeem fanboy ive been following since pride and all through K1 so i gotta say yes even though i like all 3. i think JDS will beat cain again hopefully it will be a better fight as cain just got caught up in the moment and it was a bit of a fluke... not that JDS won but that this huge fight against the top 2 heavyweights in their prime was so one sided and over s before it even began really

[SPOHN]

The only problem with JDS is he doesn't have endurance. So if you get him to the second round he could be in trouble.

[b1adesofcha0s]

If Velasquez tries to stand with JDS, the fight's gonna end the same way as the first. He needs to try to take him down and G&P to win.

[SPOHN]

^ yep

[b1adesofcha0s]

Dana White mentioned that if GSP beats Condit, a fight with Silva might happen in May.

[GaleForce]

I still think that's a horrible fight for GSP.

[b1adesofcha0s]

Yes but I still want to see it happen, more than almost any other fight. The one exception would be Silva vs Jones.

Really? I think it's definitely equally matched. I am a GSP fanboy. To beat Silvia you have to bring the fight to him. No games can be played. GSP just has away of picking people apart.

The same can be said for Silva, except he finishes his fights
