UFC 123 - Machida/Rampage

Re: UFC 123 - Machida/Rampage

Its just going to be all Fitch and everyone will complain, I'm telling you.

I actually think BJ has a good chance of employing the GSP plan, where he just keeps the fight on the feet and picks Fitch apart with superior striking.

Plus, I think we have a MORE MOTIVATED Penn at 170. We've known forever that that's really where his heart is. It's not at 155.

More motivated? I dunno. I saw the same bj Penn last night. He tried to do the exact same thing to Edgar in his last fight. He just got thrown on his head. Fitch will be prepared and Fit h will win rather easily.

And if his heart is at 170 it's only because he doesn't have to work as hard to make the weight. I mean cmon, he had fuckin Rudeboy running his camp.

Re: UFC 123 - Machida/Rampage

^^^ I honestly think he realizes that, whether right or wrong, the WW title is generally looked upon (especially by casual fans) as being more prestigious.

Also, he's always been one to challenge himself and go up in weight. I think it actually took him more work to move up to fight Lyoto than it would have to fight someone at 170.

I really think that BJ sees himself as some warrior with a great destiny. Like a "chosen one." Some of the things he said before Edgar/Penn II and the way he reacted immediately after the fight last night just drove home to me that he's really sincere about that.

More work? Maybe if you count all those hours he put in at the buffet. When he fought Lyoto he was as round as he is tall.

He's only at 170 because he got kicked out of his own weight class.

Motivated Penn and unmotivated Penn has become the new old vitor vs new vitor, and it's all nonsense.

Sure he overwhelmed and knocked out Hughes and it was awesome, but do you really see him doing that to Fitch? In retrospect it's really not too surprising. BJ has kicked Hughes ass for the majority of their three fights.

BJ can think whatever he wants, but its not really relevant to anything that happens in the cage.

Diego Sanchez thinks he's the chosen one too, but nobody takes him seriously.

If Fitch can't get BJ down, then how does he win?

And does BJ now have shitty TD defense because he got taken down by GSP and Edgar?

Fitch's takedowns aren't those hard-driving shots that seem to be his weakness. I actually think Kos's style is better built to get BJ to the ground than Fitch.

Yeah, dickhead, but obviously I was explaining why I feel that BJ is motivated by something other than food.

I'll argue with your gay ass later. Typing out long shit on phone sucks.

You never argue. You just throw out insults and irrelevant comments.

Try making a reasoned argument next time--or at least SOME time--and maybe we'll get somewhere.

Whatever.

Just remember this conversation when Fitch takes a 3 round nap on Penn.

Close fight. Lentz is like mini fitch: iron chin,comes in the dog more often then they should,good wrestling/bjj-def.

Also, since UFC 119 fights between fighters who each have 5 fights in the UFC have gtd 10-6.

Karo's cut.

I would've thought they would've given him one more fight.

I thought they would too. Was kinda of a flukey loss last night.

Dana's words:

Karo Parisyan's going to have to pull himself together and get his life together. He's going to have to figure out the next chapter of his life.

I'll never put a fighter in harm's way. But Karo came in here tonight and proved he can't compete at this level anymore.

I think that's a semi-retarded statement when it wasn't THAT long ago that he beat DHK, who just destroyed Amir in his last fight.

One more fight would've been appropriate.

I agree. People think a "motivated" Penn would beat Edgar but people can't seem to understand that Edgar's style beats BJ's style.
