UFC 158 MArch 16th

[poopoo333]

I am interested to see GSP's gameplan against Hendricks. I think he will try to put him on his back.

I mean, am I the only one who remembers this is GSP we're talking about?

He's just a man. They all have to lose eventually. Hendricks was landing on Condit. He has put away several good fighters, including some that went the distance with GSP. I am not guaranteeing a victory, and you of course have to favor GSP, but I think Hendricks has the style to give GSP trouble, I said it 2 or 3 years ago, and I still believe it. He swings hard, he makes it ugly, and he will be a match for GSP in the wrestling department. It is clear at this point, you can't beat GSP by being a better fighter, you have to just make it ugly and get lucky.

I think it was just because they're subjects of the Queen.

I guess... but I would still imagine that most of the PPV comes from the US.

I didn't know who either of the guys in the first fight, no one in the room cared and neither did I. I have no idea why these guys were on the main card and Rick Story was on the undercard.

Kos broke his orbital in the first rd I believe. I think Hendricks is better on the feet than Kos. If they rematched Hendricks would Knock him out. And yes, I want to see Diaz./Condit 2

[SPX]

Well, I look at it like this. . .

The wrestling will probably cancel, just like it did in the Kos fight. So this means it will be a kickboxing match . . . just like in the Kos fight. And GSP is more technical . . . while Johny has more power.

COULD Hendrix land a huge bomb that would put GSP out? He could. And like you say, that's what makes it an interesting fight. But I think it's more likely that GSP jabs him death while Hendricks jumps around winging haymakers.

Again?




Not to get all MMAthematical, but I thought Kos beat Hendricks . . . and GSP destroyed Kos with ease.

I think it would be intersting because Hendricks is hard to takedown. That would mean that GSP would likely have to stand with him for most of the fight. Hendricks has huge power in his hands. If GSP is forced to spend 5 rounds standing with a guy that has huge power in his hands he could be in trouble. Couple that with Hendricks aggresiveness. Then consider that Condit has much more stopping power then GSP. Then consider that Hendricks went toe to toe with Condit. If Hendricks can go toe to toe with Condit he can take GSPs punches. They aren't fight enders most of the time. Occasionally he will hit someone with some serious power that might hurt them but he isn't dropping dudes/knocking them out with one punch. I think it is a horrible stylistic matchup for GSP. Hendricks is a guy with great TDD and huge power + a good enough chin to take Condits power. I'm not saying he will beat GSP but he certainly has a hell of a shot. More than Nick Diaz or anyone else that has fought GSP. Condit probably had the best shot out of all GSP's opponents. He had shit wrestling but he always went for it. 25 minutes out of 25 minutes condit would try to finish.

I would love to see Diaz vs Condit.

Again?

Hendricks is gonna beat GSP.

Not to get all MMAthematical, but I thought Kos beat Hendricks . . . and GSP destroyed Kos with ease.

Post event:

I only watched the main card. I actually bought the PPV because I had some ppl over.

I didn't know who either of the guys in the first fight, no one in the room cared and neither did I. I have no idea why these guys were on the main card and Rick Story was on the undercard.

The Ring/Camozzi fight felt like it should have been buried on the undercard too. Are these guys draws? I guess because Ring is canadian, but that was a shitty fight and Ring and Camozzi are never going to be contenders.

LOL at Marquart. Loved it.

Hendricks/Condit was a great fight. Both guys brought it, and it had great striking exchanges and some solid grappling exchanges. I wish Condit would have tried to sweep or something rather than just trying to get up. Hendricks is the man and I think he has the style to beat GSP... not that he definitely will, but he has a better chance than anyone else IMO.

I agree with X that GSP blew his wad trying to finish. He still dominated though. I hated how he tried to befriend Diaz and act like it was all hype, maybe it was, but keep the charade up. It wasn't though, Diaz tried to hit him after the bell, which he probably should have been DQd for, or at least had a point deducted. I look forward to seeing Future champ in there with GSP.

All told, the last 3 fights were great. The other two were not only shitty, but also meaningless. The UFC needs to kill Rogan though, he is getting worse with his ridiculously biased commentary.

I want to see more of Diaz. I really hope the UFC continues to put up with and reward his bullshit, because it is worth it. I can't stop watching him.
