I know I'm well late to the party on this, but yeah, Mark Hunt, motherfuckers.

Samoan-Kiwi-Australian community represent!

James Te Huna looks good too.

DevotedWalnut

GSP, Hendricks, Marquardt, Ring, Ricci.

Canadian bias? I think not.

Jose Aldo vs Anthony Pettis official for UFC 163 in Brazil in August.

Ryan Bader injured, out of fight with Glover Teixeira. James Te Huna will take Baders spot. Good luck James, you're gonna need it.

Jon Fitch officially signs with World Series of Fighting and should make his debut at WSOF3 or 4.

Tompa

GSP, Condit, Ellenberger, Ring, Ricci

Excited for this one.

DevotedWalnut

Condit by decision? I think Hendricks will catch him with one of those hooks.

Tompa

I was thinking decision but fuck it, Condit by TKO!

That.

GSP, Hendricks, Ellenberger, Camozzi, Fletcher (if he can keep it standing up).

DevotedWalnut

GSP just didn't look himself tonight. Especially in the 3rd when Diaz landed several unanswered shots. But even on an off night, GSP still dominates.

Hendricks-Condit will be in contention for fight of the year. What a war.

Ellenberger got his name into the mix with big KO of Nate the Great.

Jordan Mein looks good. Another talented young Canadian in the UFC.

trapts picks were the most accurate. We should keep track, see which one of has the best picks each event.

As long as we kept to the main card, I don't think it would be difficult.

tui: 4/5
dw: 3/5
tom: 3/5

I loved how towards the end Diaz amped up the shit-talking, hoping GSP would let down his guard. He is such a hardass. Like the hits he was taking... Condit took quite a few as well to be still standing honestly. I don't know what to expect from a Hendricks-GSP match. Hendricks is such a good fighter and I love how he bull rushes opponents, but GSP is so dominant and so strong. It would be a great fight that I see no reason for Dana to avoid.

And Ellenberger proved himself there. Seriously.

DevotedWalnut

Apparently GSP fought Diaz with a torn Achilles Tendon. Makes it that much more impressive.

Oh, shit. Is he going to be missing more fights or is he just going to fight through it? Probably just trying to avoid fighting Hendricks.

DevotedWalnut

No, he won't miss any time. Most media outlets are speculating a September meeting between GSP and Hendricks. Maybe UFC 165 in Toronto. Dana did say he wants Georges in Vegas next, but UFC 164 and 165 need headliners and I don't think they'll do GSP-Hendricks right after Aldo-Pettis, which headlines 163. Just my thoughts.

Georges St-Pierre will star as Batroc the Leaper in the next Captain America movie. Seriously.

Filming starts next month, GSP says it won't affect his training or preperation for Hendricks.

:rolleyes:

DevotedWalnut

For the uninformed:

Batroc has been around since 1966, is one of Caps main bad guys. He's a French mercenary trained in the art of savate.

I agree with the eye roll.

traptunderice

It makes sense given how they're both French and kickboxers, but ugh Idk why Hollywood is trying to capitalize on fighters as if there weren't a million other actresses and actors who are fit as fuck. Like Rousey was already trying to be scouted by the Hunger Games series. As long as I don't have to see GSP open his mouth then maybe it won't be so bad. Oh, wait. I probably won't see it anyways, but I hope this distracts him enough from the fight so that Hendricks lays waste to his face.

DevotedWalnut

GSP will pick Bigg Rigg apart for 25 minutes just like he did to Koscheck. And everybody else.

:sad: But his wrestling will help him avoid the takedowns and he might be a better boxer... maybe?
