    Default What MMA matchups are you most looking forward to?

    It's Rashad, Shogun for me, that and Rampage Machida should be good. Anyone else have one they're really looking forward to?

    yep Rashad and Shogun should be good..just worried that Shogun is going to feel the impact of such a long lay off and that knee surgery...kinda like his fight with Forrest and Coleman

    GSP and Kos should be good..too bad the rest of the card isn't very high profile..always enjoy GSP fighting and with a heel like Kos things should get intense..especially in Montreal

    I'll tell you what, for a free card, 122 was awesome. I like the way the judging went, only one weird decision (first fight of the night). All 3 guys I called won their fights so it was a good night for me

    Watching GSP obliterate Kos at 124 was beautiful. Kos' childish behavior and criticism of GSP's stand-up was answered with an incredibly swollen eye and a damaged left leg.

    For some reason, I never tire of GSP's fights. I'm always worried that he will get knocked out, but he usually proves my worries unfounded.
    I'm really looking forward to Lesnar vs. Aldo.

    I would love to see Aleksander Emelianenko come to the UFC and fight some of the top heavyweights. Apparently, he has some visa troubles in coming to the USA, but he's pretty bad!!! Plus, he's got my vote for the weirdest full-back tattoo in MMA.

    At the bar I was at to watch UFC 124, the crowd cheered everytime GSP landed a jab on Kos and they went wild when they saw the bruised left eye.

    GSP fights are so exhilarating and personally I find any match with GSP in it to look forward to.

    Didn't see it but every fight of Jon Jones I've seen has been worth watching. Guy must have mutated Hox genes or something, his limb length is incredible.

    Jones is going to have his hands full with rampage jackson. Jackson is shorter (6'0 but listed at 6'1) and has a much shorter reach but jackson is very powerful on the inside. If jackson can get on the inside he will be very difficult to deal with, and Jones' chin has never been tested. The most devestating power is not from the tall lanky guy using his superior reach, but comes from the short powerful man working on the inside.

    They need to get a St.Pierre/Silva match together.

    They have been talking about that forever, the only way it's going to happen is if dana white forces GSP. GSP is the undisputed king at 170, but I can say with almost certainty Silva would walk straight through him. GSP is too small and the only chance GSP would have would be to get Silva on the ground, and he would get KO'd trying to do so. Anderson Silva's striking is on another level.

    Even though Rampage is one of my all time favourite fighters ( especially in Pride FC) I think he is pass his prime.
    I see Jones out-boxing him and being too fast for Rampage to take down.

    Shame that all the former Pride FC fighters now in the UFC are starting on the downward slide

    That's a theory. Didn't work for Iron Mike in his latter years(horrible analogy).

Anderson clowning Weidman.. Jones at HW.. DC at LHW making a title run. Sonnen just called out Wandy hope they book that. Sonnen was a toe away from winning the belt, madness haha.
