Re: Silva vs. Sonnen (R-Or) (R-Or) (R-Or) (R-Or) (R-Or) UFC

Its your own fault .I texted you 10 minutes after the line came out .


You snooze you lose

Yeah, not sure what happened there. I remember a text coming through last night, but for some reason I didn't check it out. I might have been half-asleep. Or masturbating.

In any case, I didn't see it until this morning and the line had already dropped.

Jesus.

Chris Leben beats Akiyama and he gets . . . Brian Stann? What the hell kind of matchmaking is that?

If this fight happens I think Leben will knock him the fuck out. Stann doesn't have the grappling skills to top control him, won't sub him, and can't hang on the feet.

I dunno. I think it's a well matched fight.

Maybe, but kind of an insult to Leben unless he specifically requested to stay active.

I haven't seen Stann's fight with with Massenzio, but I hear he has gotten better. Nevertheless, I think Leben fucks him up.

An insult to Leben? I think you get too caught up in this kind of stuff sometimes. These two dudes are going to get in a cage and fucking fight, and they're going to get paid for it. Stann is no scrub, remember he came down from 205. Who would you have Leben fight? Yeah the Wanderlei fight is sexier, but the timing is wrong.

Re: Silva vs. Belfort UFC 125

What do you mean I get too caught up in this stuff? There's something called a ladder in this sport and you're supposed to climb it. Every time you beat someone, at least theoretically, you're supposed to get a more difficult and more notable opponent, until eventually you reach the champ.

I'm just saying I think that, under these terms, Stann is a step back from Akiyama. With that said, fuck it. I agree that there aren't really any high-level middleweights who are available and I always like seeing Leben fight. I just hope we can get a decent line on this one.

Well Couture's different. He's doing his own thing. It's kind of like Lytle. Lytle's on the "Exciting Fights" and "Perennial Gatekeeper" circuits. He's not about climbing ladders and becoming champ.

But I think Leben would genuinely like another crack at Silva.
