I would love to see GSP KO Diaz.

It appears that Aldo has changed his mind about fighting Pettis. Fight should be sometime in August.

speedfreek 02-26-2013 09:49 AM

Yea, something wasn't adding up I think it was lost in translation. He is on record as saying that he didn't want to give Pettis the shot right after giving Edgar the shot if he can't have his shot at the lightweight champion. So if Aldo beats Pettis he gets Bendo or whoever has the belt after August. It will be tough for him to get by Pettis, but if he does I think he will be the third man ever to hold the belt in two different weight classes. He will be in good company with Randy Couture and BJ Penn.

Aldo vs Bendo would be a great fight. Battle of the leg kicks :icon17:

I'll take Aldo all day.

b1adesofcha0s 02-26-2013 10:01 AM

So would I. Though I think Bendo will come in with a smart strategy and try to keep the fight on the ground.

No one watched the fights on Fuel from Japan? The KO from Hunt was crazy! He knew soon as he landed the hook it was over. Then to find out he broke his jaw. Stann vs Silva was a great fight. It sucked one of them had to lose but since Stann moved up for a one time only fight against a legend I don't think it puts him any worse for wear in the middleweight picture. He just needs to focus on getting some wins in that division and marching to the top. I was happy that Silva was able to get a win in Japan for old times sake. There may not be much left in the tank for him but he still is a warrior and comes to fight.

I didn't watch them, but sounds like I might want to check out the highlights later.

Struve's jaw... :o

Stefan Struve Tweets X-Ray of Broken Jaw Following KO Loss to Mark Hunt | Bleacher Report

Yea I only got to see the last few fights. Sounds like the earlier fights weren't anything exciting. The Hunt vs Struve fight was slow as Hunt isnt exactly a cardio machine but he hits hard. Late in the third he ends it with some big shots.

I am loving all the GSP talk. I'm already on record as saying I do not think Diaz will take the belt from him unless Diaz gets away with just wanting to stand and box and actually trying to submit him earlier than later like he did in the Condit fight. GSP is ducking my man Hendricks. Frankly I would too. He doesn't want to fight him. Trying to belittle his accomplishments as #1 contender since he split a decision with Koschek. He must of not seen his other fights where he KO's them. Oh wait maybe that is the real reason for not wanting the fight. He his hoping Condit can knock Hendricks back down the ladder. But if Hendricks gets the win. There is no one left but him as the rightful contender to the belt. Hendricks will be highly motivated. Expect a KO. Big Rig ain't got no time for dat!

Evans vs Hendo and Shogun vs Little Nog scheduled for UFC 161 in June. Neither of these are the main event though, which has yet to be announced.....

speedfreek 03-06-2013 02:03 PM

UFC 162 on July 6, Anderson Silva vs Chris Weidman just announced. Nice to see the rightful #1 contender get his shot. Instead of someone talking their way into a title fight. Either way I hope he is ready.

RIP Weidman

I think Belfort is more of a rightful contender than Weidman. I really think those 2 should have fought to decide the #1 contender.
