The MMA Thread of 2009-Forever

TUF is just the worst. I dont even think to watch it anymore. I am uberdity duper excited for the fights saturday. GSP, Aldo, Machida, Henderson, Ellenberger Parlay pays big big money. add either guy from the diaz/madonald fight and roberts/patrick and it skyrockets. 50 dollars will win 700-1k+. it is sick nasty. unfortunately i have little faith in picking correctly in either of those fights and worried enough about benderson beating bocek. OH WELL

[quannum]

boring fights, brock's a douche, they need to keep the 'fight to get in the house' format, after the sorting out process do 2 fights per episode.

so cised for the aldo fight

[Hitoshura]

Though I want to see GSP absolutely tool Shields this Saturday. I wonder how many people are gonna start panicking if they see Shields full mount GSP? I'm not sure if I could stomach him LnP his way to the belt for 5 rounds.

Shields gonna sub Frenchie tonight.

Or I want Frenchie to actually finish a fight, like he fucking used to!!1!

[Dimmauk]

Anyone think the Brett Farve of the UFC will beat Machida?

[EckoGecko]

[Naiya]

Predictions for the fights? I havent really been following alot of the fighters on the card tonight or even heard of some of them. (yes i'm ashamed)

[Andalusian girls]

GSP, Aldo, Machida, Brilz, Bocek, MacDonald, Ellenberger

GSP puts on another shut out performance with superior technique + athleticism, Aldo's ground game is light years ahead of Hominick's and he can probably win standing if he wants, if Randy couldn't catch Chuck I don't see how he's going to catch Machida, Brilz is a better fighter in every facet but has been away for a year so who knows, Bocek's jits should neutralize Bendo's wrestling but Henderson has a big power advantage standing so that's 50/50, Diaz will get wrestle-fucked and Ellenberger by being a bad motherfucker

I think GSP is going to employ the same technique he used against Koscheck, especially since Shield's standup is way worse: jab-n-pray, lol. In all seriousness, looking forward to this fight, I think GSP is going to get a TKO, and I can't see Shields getting a single dominant position on GSP. People might bring up the Henderson vs Shields, but Shields' takedown attempts were so godawful, I don't know how Hendo was taken down.

Aside from that, Machido will KO Couture, hometown hero Hominick will upset Aldo, Brilz will win a split decision, and Henderson will TKO Bocek (though I hope Bocek subs him).
