Should be an awesome fight between Penn vs. Diaz. Both have extraordinary chins and recovery times. Both have unreal ground game although I feel Diaz is slightly better,but I doubt this is going to the ground much. Diaz will feel the jabs and uppercuts from Penn but Penn will feel the overhead and uppercuts from Diaz too. It doesn't look like much but Diaz has some power behind his strikes and extremely accurate. I think Diaz has the edge with longer reach and naturally more of a 170lbs. fighter. Penn needs to have that "I'm gonna lick dis focker!" mentality and you'll know his chances when you look at his eyes when coming down to the cage. If the disrespecting at the weigh-ins is for real, that might just give Penn the attitude he needs. I hope Penn can prove me wrong though and take the win but I feel Diaz will walk away with this one. Gotta give that Diaz is the most hated yet also the most underrated and underestimated fighter.



And as for Bisping, what can he possibly do to Miller??? Miller has a chin that I feel is ranked up there with Hunt, Diaz, and Penn! No way can he K.O. Miller!!! Only possible way for Bisping to beat Miller is by decision. Miller wouldn't be able to K.O. Bisping, but he should be able to submit him easily.

 

can't wait for the fights! should be crazy

going out to watch the fights for my gf's bday week then some gokart

my picks for today:

Penn
Mitrione
Nelson
Jorgensen
Hioki
Cerrone
Griffin
Vera
Downes
Carmont
Starks

 

Is the Main 3 or 5 rounds? Did they agree to the 5 rounds?

 

im pretty sure its 3. Bj agreed to 5 rounds only if he gets paid more.

 

3 it is. griffin got ktfo'd!!!
go cowboy! awesome win!
roop was just robbed

 

bj was out box'd. hope he's not done. i really want to see him back at lightweight
diaz has no class calling out gsp like that

 

I can't believe griffin got ko'd.. he starting to have a glass jaw. as for penn, hopefully hes not done for good. maybe some time off will change his mind. would rather see him at 155.. so long to cro cop! he had a great run while it lasted.

and fu*ck diaz! punkass. I guess being the bad guy pays off for him.. he gets his title shot against GSP. condit agreed to step aside. GSP flipped out at what diaz said in the cage. now he wants to fight him bad.

Good luck to BJ in whatever he decides to do. He'll always be a legend in MMA! I'm with everyone on saying the Diaz bros are fricken disrespectful pricks but when it comes down to it, it's the fight in the person that matters the most when you step in that cage. For that, I've always given Nick Diaz tons of credit for just being a bad ass fighter. BJ started well and just as he needed to, he pressed hard. But perhaps too hard because he was tired going into the 2nd round. I have my thoughts about the Diaz vs. GSP fight but will wait for it to happen. All I gotta say is you can't count out Diaz in that fight. It'll be a Good guy vs. Bad guy thing but that means shit in the ring!

As for the incident that happened at the weigh-ins, I knew that was just a way to hype the fight. They still have that level of respect for each other.

 

true, you can't count him out. guy can go for hours if he wanted. as for penn and diaz, they will always have tons of respect for each other but if you really want to bring out the beast in the fighter. why not get in his face and disrepect him a bit to hype it up? nobody does it better than diaz imo. hopefully GSP doesn't cave in to diaz's trash talking and taunts and fights off anger / emotion. but hes smart enough not to get into a dirty fast pace fight with diaz. can't wait for superbowl weekend!

 

I agree. If Diaz can get into GSP's head, it might cause GSP to make a mistake. You know Diaz is gonna want to engage with him and will try everything he can to make GSP go toe-toe. GSP has really good strikes but the boxing of Diaz is unreal even though it looks sloppy. He just finds the openings really well and extremely accurate. Most of his opponents say that they don't know where his punches come from and it just happens from all different angles. I haven't seen his "Thrown/Landed" stats but I'm guessing it's a high percentage. If GSP keeps it under control, he should take it by decision. We'll see if his comment about giving Diaz the worst beating is just talk or Diaz really did get to him.
