Shields is next in line IIRC, then Fitch then hopefully A. Silva

Man, Koscheck is tough to keep fighting with his eye in that condition. He couldn't even bear to have an ice pack pressed against it yet he still went out to fight, leaving it open for more stiff jabs, knees, and other strikes. His eye is jacked and I hope it's nothing serious. It's obvious that based on his and GSP's actions following the fight, their "bad blood" was merely to hype the fight and nothing more. And of course, once again GSP puts on a masterful display of MMA perfection. This guy is incredible!

That was such a boring fight though.... what else did GSP do, beside jab.
He's amazing, and I'm a fan of his. But I was really hoping he would try to finish Koschek.

I think there is eventually going to have to be a catch-weight fight between Silva and GSP to get their engines going 100%

[Biggin]

i didnt think it was boring at all, and im not a GSP fan. I thought it kept great action all night, and never lulled except when they were on the fence. GSP landed blow after blow after blow, and never coasted.

[steer]

That's why it's boring to me. The only difference between his fight and Silva's... Silva just picks and chooses which punch to take, and GSP just continually jabbed all night.
I'm sorry, but the UFC is gonna have to get some type of competition for GSP and Silva

I think if he fights Silva he is gonna bounce up permanently so it wont be a catch weight. I hope if he fights shields he destroys him.

Nice job To Stann and Guida at 125. Saw that mike brown got beat in his UFC debut. I didn't even know he was fighting. I have read that some think Maynard may have got screwed anybody watch the fight. Also I wonder where Vera goes. Looks like he got destroyed. I think it gonna be rough on the guys coming over form WEC

Surprised that Stan nwon by KO. He was landing some shots. hats off to hm.

I thought the Maynard/Edgar fight was a draw. I did score the first round 10-8 for Maynard. I've heard some say it should have been a 10-7 round. Either way they're fighting again.

Vera probably will be cut. Last two fight he has performed horribly. Got his orbital bone broken by Jones and now his nose broken by Silva. I wouldn't be surprised if Brown was cut as well. he's been struggling as of late.








Also in very sad news the NYBA was released by the UFC yesterday.

[Biggin]

I scored it a draw too, I had:

Maynard (10-8)
Edgar (10-9)
Edgar (10-9)
Edgar (10-9)
Maynard (10-9)

47-47
