jamesmark Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Who do you think will win? (for those who like UFC) Georges St-Pierre or BJ Penn, for the welterweight champinship. It is currently 1 - 0 to GSP. Looks like it will be a good night all round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Did you see ufc93 the other day Mark? Great first fight, I thought - the Marcus Davis v Chris Lyttle one I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 The first to take it to the ground is a pussy. That was a very good fight and total respect to both guys. A great stand up fight that was not numbed with ground/guard action. I thought the Coleman v Rua fight was an embarrassment, Coleman is one trim looking guy but he ran out of gas far to quick! It was almost like he did not do any preparation for the fight (even taking has absence into consideration) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 You don't like the ground game then? I love it. Obviously there's a lot a skill/technique in the submissions and seeing somebody get a real pasting is always interesting, if difficult to watch sometimes.

Obviously there's a lot a skill/technique in the submissions and seeing somebody get a real pasting is always interesting, if difficult to watch sometimes. I like all aspects of it to be honest, like you said the skill and technique used to submit and also good old ground & pound. What I dislike is when the fighters just lie there in full or half guard and nothing really happens. However I do like a good toe to toe action. It is a pity that UFC is now only on PPV as I would like to get into it a lot more and there is only so much (that I know of) you can get off the net.

Guest adam b Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 gsp is awesome a gifted mma super star ...for me the best has to be the french coloured chap he is middle wight champion of the world ,,,,,,can remember his name for the life of me but the man is mustard.....its the best sport on sky as long as they keep it stand up............. cannot stand it on the matt its like the sh@@@gin each other if they cannot submit with a min the ref should stand them up,,,,,,,,,the ice man is also very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno who you mean. the ice man is also very goodLiddell? He's shot now. He was good but well over the hill now. Been "to the well" too many times IMO.

Jamesy W Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Liddell? He's shot now. He was good but well over the hill now. Been "to the well" too many times IMO. I second that. I want Penn to win, If anyone can beat GSP I'm sure he can. Both are great standing and on the mat but I do think GSP has more in the gas tank. It's another great card too, Machida Vs Silva will be another cracker as will the Stephan Bonnar bout. I thought UFC 93 was a bit dire though, the 1st fight was great but it quickly went downhill IMO. Did anyone catch the Arlovski Vs Emelianenko fight last week?

Scott Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Did anyone catch the Arlovski Vs Emelianenko fight last week? Was that the M1 fight? The big bear like guy with the beard? Cracking fight that was, watched it in a sports bar in International Drive. Great experience, they really love their MMA fights over there. Even the wife enjoyed the atmosphere.

Jamesy W Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Aye, Arlovski looks like a beggar from Sauchiehall St and Emelianenko is the big fat bald one It was under Affliction - Day Of Reckoning. I'd love to go to an event like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Not the best matchup to be fair. GSP just completely annihilated Penn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Just finished watching it. Wow, Penn was totally dominated. I thought GSP would win but didn't expect it to be so one-sided. Looking forward to GSP v Thiago Alves now. That kid is good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
