Furd Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 (edited) An intriguing card. The main fights: Edgar v Penn - I'm one of the slappys that attribute Edgar's victory to an unmotivated Penn fighting Edgar's fight. I think that Penn rectifies both and wins by submission (rear naked choke) rd 2. Couture v Toney - The sideshow. Couture avoids Toney's right and gets him into a clinch. Couture takes Toney down with a trip and administers some ground and pound. Toney taps due to strikes in rd1 as he cannot wait to scarf down a few chili dogs. Florian v Maynard - The sprawl and brawl defeats the lay and pray. Florian via decision. Diaz v Davis - Diaz avoids the hand grenade and controls the fight on the ground. Diaz via decision. Maia v Miranda - I don't care. If I am true to form, I only pick one fight correctly. Edited August 27, 2010 by Furd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcat2334 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 agree with you on all the fights, which is probably a lock for some upsets........ I have been on the wrong side lately as well so who knows I cannot wait to see Toney vs Randy, and part of me wants Toney to clip Randy and put him to sleep but it ain't gonna happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that Edgar is a sparkplug but Penn simply looked unmotivated again. He didn't even fiight desperate in the 5th round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I'm going to assume that means your predictions were less than steller (I haven't seen the results). Well, from the sound of Puddy's post, I'm guessing Penn lost again. But, there had to be more wrong than that, I would think, for you to pull out the bag-over-head emoticon. I'll say that Davis beat Diaz as well. Not sure about the other two... If I had to guess a third (that you got wrong), I guess I would go with Maynard, just because I can't really see Couture losing to Toney.

Dallas Sooner Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 BJ is done. since the 2nd GSP fight, he looks to just quit during fights he thinks he cant win. Dude should retire. Cant believe I paid for these fights tonight. I wont fall for this type of hype again. I want to see lesnar carwin 2, and GSP fight anyone.

Weirdest thing there was an ad in the corner the whole time that was www.iraqgoals.com. For all I know, I helped fund some right wing fanatical site but I did watch for free Edited August 29, 2010 by Puddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant believe I paid for these fights tonight. I wont fall for this type of hype again. I want to see lesnar carwin 2, and GSP fight anyone. BJ is one of my favorite fighters ever... But what is written above is true. I think if Penn was motivated it would be something different all together, but I don't think he really cares about fighting anymore. I think once he lost to GSP the second time he lost his will. If he couldnt be the best at 155 and 170 then he just didn't want to keep on doing it. The Edgar/Penn1 can be attributed to whatever you want... Penn not taking things seriously or whatever, but his gameplan in Edgar/Penn part2 was just stand there and eat shots by a faster fighter. Penn is the stronger fighter, but was never the aggresor... Unless he decides to get out of Hilo and train with a real camp, then he is done fighting for belts, and should all together leave the game before he looses all of the mystique he once had. Oh, and Nate Diaz looked great last night. As did Joe Lauzon. Phenominal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Diaz is a punk. I would love to see GSP dismantle him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate isn't the fight you want to see. He's way too green to be even talked about with GSP. Nick Diaz would pose a very credible threat to GSP. His attitude aside, Nick Diaz is the no.2 170 guy in the world, and the only guy I think that has a chance to challange GSP. Nick's standup could get GSP trouble and his ground game off his back is elite. A lot of BJJ guys are great in certain positions ie from the top or sub defense or whatever... Nick has nasty jits from every position. Very few, if any are as dangerous off of his back as he is. Dana White has said he'd love to have Nick Diaz back, but it would have to be on Dana's terms... IE give up the Josh Gordon, and quit fighting in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
