- GSP is on around the 37 min mark.


Does any else feel Diaz should have won his fight?


I feel like Diaz should have won, but they way they judge fights, there was really no way they could give it to him.

Not really. Besides the last round, he didn't really do much. Guida was all over him for 90% of the fight.

Plus, he's a little cocky **** anyways.

For the love of God people stop saying Gsp would lose his speed if he moved up to middle weight to fight Silva. The guy always comes into fights at 180-185 after cutting down to 170 for the weigh ins. He could add a little more muscle, but it's not like he's gunna get juiced up and turn into Jeff Monson for the fight or something.

It would be interesting though. Silva would utilize his reach advantage (as he has 4 inches on Gsp) and George would certainly try to take him down a lot, but would have to worry about Anderson's knee's and elbows as he tries to close the distance. Spider has really good jiu jitsu so it wouldn't be a walk in the park for Gsp if he does take him down. I'd be rooting for Georgy on this one. Definitely would be the most anticipated fight ever imo.

Anderson comes in at 195+

That''s only 10 lbs...Gsp could put on between 5-10 lbs of lean muscle just to be safe with no problem by December. This guy trains with much much bigger guys. Even look at that little reality show they had...he was holding his own against Rashad. Weight wouldn't be much of an issue here, but length sure would.

I think GSP could take him. It wouldn't be easy....but he could do it. As much as I like Silva, he's been acting too cocky lately. Either way, it would be an insane fight. Hopefully Dana makes it happen and we all get to watch a "Ballet of Violence" as Rogan likes to say.

What do you guys think of the vaseline scandal or w.e. I dont think it had the biggest impact on the fight. But i do think it helped GSP posture(sp?) up through BJ's rubber guard, which happened alot in the 2nd and 3rd i believe. And the corner guy very clearly rubbed vaseline on GSP's back and shoulders. Again not saying that it was the reason he won. I am saying its a pretty **** move on their part.

^^^ GSP's run through Hieron, Trigg and Sherk was awesome. Did any of them land a punch? TKOs, first round for all three I think. And legit guys.

Penn wants a re-match, GSP too. UFC hopefully won't allow it.

Penn needs to breathe in public opinion before he keeps this up. He's only losing more cred. There is no one out there defending his chances in a third match, as far as I can tell; this is a sealed issue; GSP wears velcro and airplane glue, BJ's still going to get TKOd.
