Jesus Christ! Enough of this showboating bullshit, finish the fucking fight. Never seen a fight go to the judge so superficially. No surprise the crowd are chanting Maia at this point.

[dudeguy]

Lets hope the judges place aggression as the top criteria and give Maia the fight lol

[tyven]

anderson cant headline cards in 185 anymore, its that simple.

[Xno Kappa]

This whole card was "wtf!?" GSP is the only champion who seems to take shit seriously at this point.

thats what happens when you lose to matt sera

What a joke of a post fight interview, GSP needs to put this retarded monkey away already. I don't understand why they keep giving him some of the worst opponents I have ever seen lol. The guy he fought before Maia was actually worse.

Forrest Griffin?

Really though, it was supposed to be Belfort in there tonight but then it changed and was supposed to be Sonnen but he was unable to as well.... Maia was the only guy left

[archibaldcrane]

Why didn't the announce the judges' scorecards? I wanted to see if they gave Maia rounds 4 and 5.

[Blarg]

Not saying the scorecards was a bit odd, they were short on time but I don't know if that was why.

i expect anderson to murder gsp regardless of which weight they fight at. he clowns because he can afford to clown. just ask forrest griffin or rich franklin what its like to face a srs biz spider. gsp wont be able to lay on him for 5 rounds he will get blown up on the feet.

[archibaldcrane]

Why would Silva be able to stuff GSP takedowns when better wrestlers cannot even come close?

[Xno Kappa]

The first few fights were awesome, Munoz/Dos Anjos/Davis, all finishing their fights in a decisive fashion. Basically people who are hungry. The rest is just a hodgepodge of pathetic shit used to sell the card.

[Blarg]

I'd give it 65-35 for anderson to win against gsp

Jon Madsen (252) vs. Mostapha Al-Turk (235)

The Prelims have some interesting matchups... hopefully Mr. Wonderful gets aired.

FON will go to Etim-Dos Anjos

Went 7 for 10 so not too bad (BJ should have won though).... the Gunderson-Taylor fight got cancelled, Taylor pulled out last minute due to some medical issue

[archibaldcrane]

If they fight, GSP should shoot at 4:59 of r1, when Silva is in his "stand around and look at the guy" mode.

I fucking hate GSP, but I'm actually going to have to cheer for him

I really think that French Blanket will > Spider at 170.

i dont think he will be able to shoot on him, i think he will get ktfo the second he goes in

[Xno Kappa]

At even muscle weight, why wouldn't GSP have a chance at taking down Silva?

It's pretty obvious GSP has fought better wrestlers as of late and none were able to take him down. GSP isn't dumb either so he wouldn't bother wasting his time standing up with Silva. I understand the whole thing is hypothetical but at this point who the fuck cares. Silva's last few fights have been nothing but tomato cans, a GSP fight would shock the shit out of him.

[dudeguy]

The way their last fights have been going it will either be a boring stand up fight or a boring grappling fight... at least GSP doesn't showboat so I am hoping for the latter.

[tyven]

gsp gonna get murder death killed
