ITT: Losing in striking is now beasting someone.

But he got two awkward takedowns that he did nothing with!

[tyven]

who is excited for daley to go to strikeforce and get ktfo by nick diaz?

sadly in the eyes of american judges that would be enough to say he was winning.

Any site I can go to watch UFC 113? Downloading is taking forever and I kind of want to watch it tonight before coworkers kill it for me tomorrow. Take into consideration I've also ignored all your posts today.

Two Americans and one french Canadian.

Ok, so who will be the next champion to fall?

HW Brock Lesnar
MW Anderson Silva
WW Georges St. Pierre

Out of all the champs I would say
Edgar
Brock and Shogun tie (depends on when Cain fights Brock I think, and Shogun will lose because no one can seem to hang on to a belt at lhw)
Anderson
GSP (he is basically looking at only rematches of guys he has already soundly beat)

So you are picking Lesner over Carwin?

Except that not everyone can get in there...

[Rhyis.]

Lesnar and Edgar are obviously the next champs to fall.


Also, poor J-Mac. I wanted him to get a good second run in the UFC.

I give it 65/35 for Lesnar. Carwin has a power advantage but I still really haven't been impressed by him aside from that.

What's ambulamps in Portuguese.

Koscheck as a pussy faker

I fucking hate Koscheck so much for this shit. I think he's the only guy in the UFC I would want to see have real harm done to their person, since that's two fights in a row where he did that crap.

[tyven]

maybe people should stop trying to knee him in the face when he is down.

Lesnar also has that freakish speed.

But we havent really seem him get hit yet.

In the second fight w/ mir, Mir hit him in the face like...once and it seemed like Lesnar was very averse to getting smacked in the face.

I think the main thing Lesnar brings is the weight advantage and actually having to cut to 265 - most HWs havn't had to cut and it's been a pretty lazy shallow talent division - see Couture vs Timmeh.

It's got a lot better since then though.

[Krandor]

Neither of which even hit him. It is ironic that back to back opponents did the same shit yeah, but both times trying to sell that you got kneed in the eye when you weren't even hit is just downright lame. It's a goddamn shame that he managed to win both of those fights legit, cause I really wanna see someone beat him to a pulp. Now we just get to wait about a year for him to lose by decision to GSP, yay.

[Blarg]

One of the former ring card girls was fired for publicly saying that Koscheck was faking an illegal knee (the one before the daley one)

oops

[Tekki]

Anderson now has no reason to resist permanently going to LHW. From what i understand certain conditions will force the situation anyways.
