UFC 158 MArch 16th

[Svino]

Yeah, he's used the knee tap pretty well. And no, I wouldn't say his takedowns against Condit looked *that* bad. But I think all of the successful TD's were shot from in close. I didn't see any of those amazing double-legs he was known for where he made closing 7 feet of distance look effortless.

[edman5555]

Knee tap?

[zY|]

Forget his double; dat knee tap is unstoppable, son.

[edman5555]

Nope.

I am a little worried about GSP not really being his old self after his injury. I thought it was affecting his mobility on the feet and his double-leg didn't look like it had the speed it used to either. I think if Diaz wins it will be with success on the feet, but with his relatively weak wrestling, it's another good matchup for GSP.

His double leg really looked that bad to you?

[Thewisemann]

Same here minus the parlay

[poopoo333]

I will be betting GSP minus the points, GSP by UD, GSP in parlays, etc etc.

[Svino]

I am thinking about taking GSP by unanimous decision. I think he will be able to take down Diaz at will.

Does anyone see Diaz as likely to submit GSP off his back?

Nope.

Hope so, thats playable. I prolly wouldn't go past -200. Im also curious too see howany pts GSP will be minus and what the line will be.

[poopoo333]

Thats what I was thinking. Line guess?

Elkins -175 probably

[Thewisemann]

[poopoo333]

Elkins all day

[Thewisemann]

Thoughts on Carvalho/Elkins?

[MMA_scientist]

Just listened to that conference call. That shit was awesome.

As for Diaz, he obviously lacks some social skills, but I don't at all think he's retarded or even below average in terms of intelligence. If anything, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that he actually has a really high IQ and that he's one of those eccentric but super intelligent genius types.

Oh, I wouldn't be shocked if he isn't retarded, but I seriously doubt he is some secret genius... he is obviously stupid as hell. He probably isn' retarded, but there is no way he is more than average intelligence

[MMA_scientist]

Wouldn't that judgement have to be made by an actual psychiatrist?

Which one? He was diagnosed with BPD. But the actual determination of disability is a legal determination. My job is to show that his diagnosis meets or equals the Code requirements for disability, and the judge's job is to determine if the severity of the impairments is enough so that he can't meet the requirements of competitive work.

That 12.08 is actually a legal determination.
