MMA Megathread - UFC / Strikeforce / Bellator

Tonight at 3am on Setanta

[Guest Medic]

Gonna be sick.Rooting for Machida!! GSP vs BJ will be immense. Although GSP is favourite, I think BJ will take it. Karo Parisyan & Jon Fitch also on the card!

[Guest Medic]

Well I was very wrong. GSP wins by TKO at the end of round 4 putting in a devasting performance against BJ Penn who had no answer. Was pretty much even in the first round, but early in the 2nd GSP got a vital takedown and the whole match changed. Vicious ground n pound by GSP, BJ was taking a hammering. End of 4th, Ref stopped the fight after the doc's advice. GSP always gracious whether win or defeat, brilliant to see from a fighter. Thiago Alves seems to be next up.Silva no match for Lyoto Machida. Machida just a cut above him, brutal KO in the first round. Hope he gets a title shot soon.Jon Jones was extremely impressive, fantastic maneuovers displayed by the young fighter, sure to be a star in the upcoming years.

GSP totally dominated Penn. Penn's cardio is still sh*t and he couldnt back up none of the sh*t he was talking. Ended exactly how I called it.Machida destroyed Silva. I really cant see him being beaten at 205. Some interesting matchups top be made with Rampage-Machida and Machida-Evans.Guida didnt deserve the win over Diaz. I know the scoring is based on control but you cant just hug your opponent from behind without being active with anything else.Jones totally schooled Bonnar. His spinning elbow was sick and some of his slams were too.

[JWP]

Hope they dont push Nate Diaz too far back after this loss. Felt he didn't deserve to lose to be honest.

It was a great night for the UKDan Hardy, Terry Etim and Paul Kelly all won their bouts. Was a bit of a shoddy card and there were quite a few KO's. Was cool to see GSP, Rampage and Penn all in Greenwich though lol.

[Kompressor]

Rampage trains over here now so he's an honoury Brit Terry Atim's looking like a serious prospect Hardy'll hopefully achieve somthing big aswell because even though i want to, i just don't buy into the Bisping hype i reckon both Henderson and Franklin would beat him nevermind Anderson Silva

[Guest Medic]

Im dont agree, I really think Bisping has what it takes to beat Henderson.

[The King]

Im dont agree, I really think Bisping has what it takes to beat Henderson.

c/s. Franklin would give him a good fight but Bisping is getting better with every fight.

[Steven]

SooooOOOooo last night was UFC 96. Rampage beat Jardine which means he goes onto fight Rashad Evans for the belt at UFC 98 (replacing Lesnar vs Mir 2). Here's what they had to say post fight:

[Guest Medic]

Come on Rashad!!Rampage is a joker though. I hoped he would lose so we could see Machida have the title shot, but this fight will be quality too. Cant see Rashad losing.

[JWP]

Cant wait for this fight.Dunno who I want to win, probs Rampage. Even if Rampage wins I would still wanna see Machida fight Evans at some point.

gonzaga got nocked the f*ck out, carwin is a beast

Carwin was on the verge of getting KO'd aswell. Didnt impress me much, but hes one stronger f*cker. Gotta give him that.

[JWP]

lol @ BJ Penn after the Kendall Grove fight."Yea...now lets all go home". Seemed like he wanted to get out of there as soon as lol.

[Black Ant]

rampage>>>>come like a WWE character

[Kompressor]

The Ufc need Rampage as their champ but Rashad's the better fighter so i reckon he'll win but i'll be rooting for Rampage

[Steven]

Bad news guysRampage has injured his hands so its been confirmed Rashad Evans will face Lyoto Machida at UFC 98!This in a lot of ways is a more interesting fight. Will probably be less exciting though.

[JWP]

Like I said earlier, would have still been good to see Machida fight Evans at some point, now at least this way they fight and Rampage is likely to fight the winner.BUT...what happens in a situation where Machida beats Evans and wins the title...Rampage would then fight Machida for the title...but would still have all that bad blood with Evans and we'd have to wait even longer to see Evans vs Rampage especially if Rampage then goes on to beat Machida.

[Guest Medic]

Machida will beat Evans. I have no doubt about that.

[Kompressor]

TBH i dont really think theres any bad blood between Evans and Rampage Evans vs Machida should be a good fight and will give Evans more of a well rounded test coz i reckon Evans vs Rampage would've just been a boxing match would be good to see Machida chin get really tested, I cant see him dominating Evans like he's dominated others so should be an interesting fight.Now all the UFC gotta do is set up the fight between Thiago Alves and GSP thats what i wanna see

[Guest Medic]

Its already happened if im not mistaken. UFC 100

[Steven]

UFC 100 has a crazy line upBrock Lesnar vs. Frank MirGeorges St-Pierre vs. Thiago AlvesDan Henderson vs. Michael Bisping
