BJ Penn Vs Nick Diaz - UFC 137

[Ludo]

I predict Kongo via elbows to the thigh, just like in the Buentello fight. That shit's going to become his finishing move. -->, -->, <--, -->, A, B.

And yeah PP, this card looks like it's going to be awesome.

Did you seriously just make a Sega reference? Fucking awesome!

im going to have to disagree with you guys here. Kongo is the better bet unless his line is outraegous. He is the better striker, better wrestler, probably better jiu jitsu and he is way way more experienced. Kongo can take a punch alright. Trvis Browne is almost 300 pounds, Mir is big and hits hard, PAt Barry is a pro kickboxer that decided he wanted to go for broke and take Kongo out. Mitrione can hit hard...but I wouldn't consider him a better striker than Mitrione. If the line is right, i will make a big play on Kongo.

Trvis Browne is almost 300 pounds

Browne is around 250. Mitrione is 260

[edman5555]

ok i dont know where i got that number from. He is 6'8'' though.

[edman5555]

with 9 kos. Mitrione has only had 5 fights. Personally I think its crazy to be Mitrione unless you get serious dog odds. His first pro fight was at the end of 2009. December. so basically he has only been fighting about 1.5 years. Kongo has had 23 kickboxing matches and 24 mma fights. He is better in every measurable area.

^^but I am guessing BJ/Condit might be at 136. Unless they put Roop/Hioki on prelims. I am guessing Fitch will get a fight on this card since it's his hometown and that's when he can fight again from his injury.

Nevermind I am stupid. I thought this was in San Jose. UFC 138 is in San Jose not 137

Dennis Siver vs. Sam Stout in the works for "UFC 137: St-Pierre vs. Diaz"

[SPX]

Interesting.

I think that fight could go either way. Something tells me Stout might outpoint him, though.

[poopoo333]

I actually think Siver will win.

[SPX]

Siver might want to bring some wrestling to steal rounds with. I think if it stays on the feet the entire time it's going to be close.

[Ludo]

This mass idea that Mitrione is someone to be underestimated constantly has been making Me money since the Big Baby fight. Kongo's chin isn't what I would call "questionable" but he definitely seems to have trouble staying on his feet when he gets hit with a good punch. Mitrione hits as hard or harder than anyone Kongo has been fighting lately. I wouldn't put too much stock into Kongo's takedowns here either. Mitrione may not have alot of experience in wrestling per say but what he does have is a ton of experience pushing guys around. Kongo may be technically superior but he finds a way to get hit in almost every fight and if he gets tagged here he may not have a chance to rise like a zombie.

Also at UFC 137, a light heavyweight matchup has been verbally agreed to as Eliot "The Fire" Marshall will welcome Brandon "The Truth" Vera back to the Octagon.
