47. The MMA Analyst Reviews: UFC 94

[lordofkronos]

hey u kno why gsp cant do a proper backflip? cuz white man cant jump hahahaha

[apachegrunt]

Throwing in the towell or tapping from strikes same thing

[Maloperverso]

Except when you tap out due to strikes the fans consider you a little bitch. Tapping out due to a submission is ok though.

[gmanunreal]

lol you resemble mrjiggaman from the DLB network on youtube. cool both you guys talk about my favorite entertainment. ps3 and UFC

[doliveij]

lol

It's not often that someone says I look like someone ... and I end up actually lookin like em.

lol

BUT DAMN!

[jasonkcmo]

you got your fucking order wrong... 1..rampage jackson..2 rashad evans..3kimbo slice...4marvin eastman..5check congo..6anderson silva..black power..aslama leka

[plasticaholic]

Kimbo ???..lol

[jasonkcmo]

yeah they said he was druged before the seth pethazella fight

[tchimmerroks]

Your video was very entertaining and you're really funny. However, please don't touch your eyes, ears, mouth, nose, etc. (anywhere on your head in general) while delivering your wit and wisdom. Don't 'cha know, it's cold and flu season, I was just cringing the whole time. Other than that, great job, Dude obviously knows his MMA biz.

[ikicku]

I think Dana White is buying time hoping the other guys can peel his game and come with any idea so they have a chance against him

[911isalie]

Great review, man. Ya have to love it when someone normal posts decent commentary - thank you.

Post Alves - GSP @ 185 - A brusier. He beats Silva - on the ground; handily. He wouldn't be stupid enough to stand and trade with him and why would he, if he's a better wrestler and much stronger. Their BJJ skills cancel one another out and although AS might have a slight advantage in flexibility, means nothing; GSP won't be caught is some arm bar or triangle. GSP TKO - ya heard it here, first. :-)

[IryokuNWA]

Mickey Avalon is a horrible singer who acts gay, sounds gay, but all his songs are about sleeping with women. I just think its funny he was the "reason" for BJ's downfall in that fight.

[HORSEtheBandLIF]

Did I hear you say you wouldn't want to see GSP vs Silva? Are you crazy man?! Hahah, I was surprised to hear that, I think it would be a great fight and I see GSP wrestling his way to a TKO on that one, if it ever happens.

[elmatador404]

Exactly. Or a submission. But even if we're wrong (and most people think we are), why anyone wouldn't want to see that fight is beyond me!

[wtcher1980]

To me, not answering the bell is worse than tapping. You go out and take your ass whoopin. At least someone tapping is fighting. BJ quit fighting and he was able to stand. BJ ruined his own rep...clown!

[den19852]

What are the chances you making UFC Fight Night: Lauzon vs. Stephens predictions?

[doliveij]

99.9%.

[elmatador404]

But in my opinion, Machida is the best in the LHW division and one of the top four P4P. I don't see anyone beating him for a while (Rashad probably has a better chance than anyone, but I would still favor Machida).

[tatertots00]

Rashard would get killed by Machida IMO. Forrest or Anderson Silva are the only ones with good enough strikes to stand with him.

[elmatador404]

A. Silva would never fight with him so I'm not including him in the list. Machida is way too precise for Forrest. IMO Rashad has the best shot due to his speed and wrestling ability, and the fact that he wouldn't come straight at him... but still, Lyoto would probably win. There's probably no one in his division right now who can beat him.

[elmatador404]

There is *no* excuse for not giving Machida the next title shot, even if Rampage beats Jardine. Still, Dana's a sleaze and won't do it, but Machida is clearly the #1 contender at this point.

As for beating Machida, I don't think the way to do it is always moving forward and throwing punches. His counters are excellent and perfectly timed, and such a fighter would tire himself out quickly too. I think the person with the best chance will be a high-level wrestler with great submission defense.

[nickpeyon]

I totally agree. To beat Machida, you gotta take him to the ground and get him tired and frustrated there. He's not the sort of guy you want to stand up with.

[mmafixation13]

GSP=

Grease

Solves

Problems

[ultraworshipp]

Oh , and Machida will never get his title shot as long as he keeps fighting in the ufc lol...dana white is an asshole. he gave Lesnar a title shot in no time...He only had to beat Herring & couture and that was it..It's because he's marketable , good for the ratings...A guy like Machida isn't...(even though he's got legit skills)..after an accumulation of + 7 victories , Machida still has no opportunity to fight for the belt

[ultraworshipp]

One last detail....Penn is a big mouthed sore loser. I'm glad that the most down to earth , humble guy won.

[nickpeyon]

Anderson Silva is the best pound for pound mma fighter in the world right now. In terms of skill, display and dominant performance, Fedor comes close. But Fedor got holes in his game, he was losing his last fight till he got a lucky punch. He is definetely a very good fighter, deadly on the ground, the best heavyweight by far. But pound for pound, the Spider is better.

Machida deserves a title shot. The way to beat him is to take it to the ground and just get him tired and frustrated there.

[ultraworshipp]

no fedor is

[ultraworshipp]

Your logic makes no sense nickpeyon. Anderson Silva got subbed by Takase and Chonan. Anderson was had problems finishing Cote. Not to mention , the logic behind P4P is ridiculous. But that's another story...

[nickpeyon]

Anderson Silva can lose. He's not that good on the ground. Fedor on the other hand, isnt that goond standing up. Both of that have won fights in their feets and on the ground.

A. Silva is the sort of fighter that likes to counter attacks and Cote simply wasnt attacking, hence the longer more boring fight. But Cote never threatened A. Silva and was losing all rounds.

[ultraworshipp]

by the way , he WASN'T losing his last fight. Emelianenko is the only guy in the sport who gets all the critics even after beating a ufc champ in the 1rst. Reality check Nickpeyon , the guy has been doing this shit since 2001...undefeated since 2001. it's never been done in the sport. Prior to his fight vs arlovski he annihilated another ufc champ in a matter of seconds...Fedor wasn't in any danger that' why his face wasn't all bloody like it was against Crocop back in 2005. Non-of arlovski's

[ultraworshipp]

punches had any effects cause fedor kept dodging them fedor will always get all the shit in the world no matter what he does..He was lucky against fujita , lucky against randleman , lucky against Hunt , lucky against crocop...it's horseshit. It's more than just "lucky" when you accumulate a record like fedor's...Anderson defeated 1 champion (franklin)..he never could get the belt in pride..Fedor ? left all the orgs with all the belts...that's the difference. he eats other champs for breakfast

[nickpeyon]

No man. I didnt say Fedor is lucky. I said he got a lucky punch. For around 3 min, it was pretty much all Arlovski beating on Fedor. Then Arlovski tries to do something fency (stupid) and got punished for it. Fedor threw a couple of wild hooks, with the 1st one conecting well and the 2nd one missing by a mile.

That said, Fedor on the ground is very talented. He's also very big and tough. The heavyweight division is where there's the least good competition.

A. Silva destroys his opponents.

[ultraworshipp]

Not a lucky punch. NOT a lucky punch. I've watched the fight. i've rewatched the slow mo. What happened ? Arlovski tried to pull the very same flying knee he did against Ben Rothwell. Only you don't pull that shit against a guy who's been dominating the sport like no other since 2001. Fedor had the perfect reflex , saw it coming , perfect timing. And the rest was history.

[nickpeyon]

Like I said, Arlovski tried a stupid move and paid for it.

You say its perfect reflex, perfect timing.... why did he miss the left hook by a mile? It was a wild lucky punch. Even when he was throwing his right hook, look at his head. He was not looking at where that punch was going. He just got kicked, went into the ropes and swang wildly for his life.

And stop talking about "since 2001". It may have been a long time ago, but not that many fights ago.

[doliveij]

He missed the second hook by a mile because it was a 1,2 punch, and the 1 put Arlovski on his face. If he had stood after the 1, the 2, woulda landed on his right temple.

People don't get lucky punches when someone is attempting a flying knee and land unconscious. The don't even throw punches. They shell up and brace for the knee or try to move. That is why there are so few KO's on guys trying flying knees. It's just not the best time to throw ANYTHING.

There was no luck involved.

None at all

[nickpeyon]

Man, I value your opinions, you know your stuff. But if you look at the replay of that punch, Fedor wasnt even looking at what was really going on (he's pretty much looking at the floor) . Arlovski lowered his guard, Fedor put his head down and punched. It connected right in the chin and due to the momentum of both fighters moving in opposite direction, it was all over. The 2nd punch missed coz Fedor wasnt looking at what was going on.

[doliveij]

We will have to agree to disagree.

It's all good.

[gary83uk]

The instinctive reaction when someone goes for a flying knee is actually to drop the hands to block it which has the unfortunate side effect of dropping your head straight into it - it happens so often in MMA its not even funny.

See Anderson vs Okami, Cote, etc.. and Penn vs Sherk.

[ultraworshipp]

You know what this arguement reminds me of ? Back in 2005 when Crocop was trying to finish emelianenko (in the first round) with a Highkick KO..barely touching emelianenko's skull (crocop slipped and missed a golden opportunity)...Arlovski fucked up too...You don't take absurd chances , trying to be flashy against a guy like this.

[nickpeyon]

You are obviously a Fedor fan and to you, he's Superman and nothing will change your mind. Sooner or later Fedor will lose though. Everybody loses, eventually.

He's a very strong and tough guy, and he hasnt lost yet. It came close a few times though.

He was losing last week. Besides that one knock out punch, what else did he do? Arlovski simply got caught at a time he was controling the fight and being the more aggressive fighter.

[ultraworshipp]

"You are obviously a Fedor fan and to you, he's Superman and nothing will change your mind." Nop , don't start putting words in my mouth. I'm very well aware that he's just human and hey , maybe he'll lose his next fight (against Barnett)...That's beyond the point. Facts are facts , undefeated since 2001. Fact, He left rings with both belts , Left pride fc with both belts , He recently finished 2 ufc champs in less than 4 minutes (combined).You don't have to be a fan to admit that he's the best

[nickpeyon]

Sylvia is shit. Arlovski is meh. Like I said before, Fedor is a great fighter in a pretty weak division (generally speaking in current MMA). Mirko was good back then thouhg, and he was smashing Fedor till they went to the ground and gased. Fedor couldnt do much on the ground against Minotauro either.

Fedor is definetely the best heavyweight. He can proabably beat everybody right now. That's not to say hes the best pound for pound fighter, but simply the best of the big guys.

[ultraworshipp]

Your argument fails Nickpeyon. For one , Arlovski has legit ground skills (in sambo) same goes with his striking (not to mention he was trained by Roach no less and it showed , it's pretty rare to an mma fighter throwing clean , straight punches...Most go for the wide looping haymakers , but it's mma afterall , not boxing). Why your argument fails ? Because we can say the very same things about all divisions. In reality the hw , lhw , mw etc..all have their ups and downs.

[ultraworshipp]

You say , Sylvia is "shit". Fair enough , i personally think he's one dimensional and takes advantage of his size more than anything..He's rather slow too. HOWEVER , you're forgetting one crucial thing. He did beat legit opponents. Whether you like it or not , he defeated the likes of Vera , Arlovski , Rodriguez (in his prime) , Rothwell..

In other words , he's not just another big guy (some freakshow like giant silva if you will) , but a guy who manages to impose his size..

[ultraworshipp]

Yes he can be fucking boring (when he distances himself with his jab) , but he has ko power and well..as one dimensional as he is...he still managed to beat several legit opponents... NOW , let's compare with Anderson's competition... Sylvia lost against Mir , Couture, Nogueira , Arlovski & Fedor. Anderson on the other hand , lost against the likes of Chonan & Takase...Let's start with Takase , His record ? 7-13 Sure , it's mma and even Couture himself has a record of 16-9.

[ultraworshipp]

Only difference is..Takase is a nobody in the sport. and if we had to compare (skillwise ) P4P ? He's a joke compared to the likes of Werdum , Barnett , Nog , Mir , Arlovski , Kharitonov etc... It's all relative Nickpeyon. Then Anderson also lost against Chonan...Back then Chonan was considered to be somewhere in the top 10...Still ! having said that , he's quite one dimensional when compared to the likes of the big boys such as Aleskander , Josh , Overeem , Antonio Jr etc....

[ultraworshipp]

and yet ! That didn't stop the guy from defeating Anderson. Franklin himself is quite average (the guy was enjoying his reign till a more capable fighter aka Anderson , entered the scene )...But in terms of competition ? Nothing out of the ordinary. It's quite easy to shit on the HW division (especially since it's the most divided one in the sport , thanks to Dana White and his slave contracts )...Emelianenko isn't just the best HW buddy...No one in the sport has his balance on the ground

[ultraworshipp]

prime for prime , there was NO equivalent to crocop back in 2005 (when the guy was still worth a shit ) , we're talking about the guy who used to strike with the likes of Hug , LeBanner , Feitosa , Hoost , Aerts etc... Fedor already fought better strikers than anderson himself..(Semmy Schilt , Prime crocop , Arlovski ) Cause yes , the hw division also has a bunch of legit strikers (rizzo ,kharitonov , overeem, Dos Santos etc) Better yet ! the hw division even has legit & elite ADCC participants

[ultraworshipp]

The HW division is divided yes , but not weak. the talent is there. To finish , i will say this...the P4P argument is ..to be honest ? a bit ridiculous here's why..The likes of let's say...Kid Yamamoto , Penn , Faber , Anderson , Hansen , Kawajiri ,Alvarez etc..Wouldn't be the same , wouldn't have the same speed if they all were heavyweights. The P4P argument is bullshit and was first invented for boxers but the logic behind it is flawed.

[ultraworshipp]

the biggest problems with the P4P idea of blowing up a 150 pound guy to 250 pounds ... he'd get slower and less agile because of the extra weight he has to move. Strength goes up with cross section, weight goes up with volume ... ie weight increases faster than strength as size increases"

When you know this..it's even more impressive to see the types of moves the big guys are pulling at their size (such as the likes of Gonzaga & even the one dimensional but very powerful Lesnar)

[marbs0204]

Fedor managed to stay close to Nog on the ground, not get submitted (or even close to being submitted), and pounded the shit out of him. Pardon my french. But its true.

[Loomr]

My take on the p4p argument is that the p4p nr1 guy shouldn't be dominated in fights like fedor was being dominated, and his fans shouldn't have to worry about "arlovski having the best hands in mma" before fights (as our mma analyst did)

Whoever you put against St pierre or Spider Silva in their wheighclass, the scenarios should be clear: total domination expected. Whereas with fedor lets consider a rematch with AA: Domination not guaranteed, even W not guaranteed.

also p4p nr1 NOT = goat nr1

[doliveij]

GSP was knocked out by the heavy underdog, Matt Serra and submitted to Hughes by Arm Bar. (All in his weight class)

Anderson Silva has tapped to flying scissor heel hook and triangle. Lost by DQ and decision. (All in his weight class)

BJ Penn has been dominated and tko'd 2 times, lost to Pulver and Machida by dec has less then 10 fights at LW.

But Fedor isn't #1 because he was losing a round in which he KO'd the #2 HW in the world and is "undefeated" since 2000 n has over 25 HW bouts?

[gary83uk]

I already agreed but damn, when you put it like that how can anyone even question it. Copying this for future smackdown on unbelievers.

[Loomr]

A. Silvas submission losses happened 5 years ago.. the sport itself is only ~16 years old. I do think p4p nr1 guy should be the one best right now, and not looking back when the fighter was still developping.

I agree ppl can look more at either record or "skills on paper" / "how dominantly they performed at those fights" when making p4p rankings. But the way I see it, p4p nr1 is _kinda_ allowed to get caught. But if he is dominated, it's a clear signal that the list maker credited him too much.

[doliveij]

I hear ya. This is a "What Have You Done For Me Lately" situation. And Fedor's answer is:

KO the #5 HW in 36 seconds, and KO the #2 HW in the first round. 2 HW KO's in half a years time. Add that to his PRIDE Dominance and virtually undefeated record and you get the G.O.A.T.

No one will argue that Champs can get caught. Underdogs win sometimes and they are "flukes." But is Takase's a tougher underdog then the giants Fedor has demolished?

From Champs to Chumps, he beats them all.

[marbs0204]

One doesn't have to dominate every fight there in to be the p4p best. I think its even more a sign of greatness when a fighter is being put in a tough spot and can end the fight in a moment when exploiting his opponent's weaknesses.

Also, A. Silva didn't exactly dominate Hendo in their fight. He lost the first round, and the second round was fairly competitive up to the point where Silva landed the head kick in the exchange towards the end of the round.

[Loomr]

As I said we seem to have different emphasis on p4p rankings. but for me:

MMA has developped greatly in last few years. matches 5 years ago shouldnt have much emphasis on p4p, but for GOAT ranking yes (fedor=nr1 goat).

In recent times, A silva has looked absolutely dominant. no apparent weaknesses skillwise. Hendo didnt dominate.

in recent times Fedor has looked dominant against Sylvia and not so dominant against AA, still a W tho. skillwise you could argue, he was behind AA in standup.

[marbs0204]

True, Hendo didn't dominate. But Silva didn't exactly dominate him either. And a. silva's skills in takedown defense are kinda lackluster.

I agree that mma has developed a lot these past few years, and maybe past matches don't have quite the emphasis on p4p rankings as they once did, but I think they are still relevant.

[leolaff]

marbs0204 came close to mentioning my problem with Anderson Silva ranked best p4p. It looked like he couldn't get out from under Hendo without the help of the ref or the rules or the rounds. To me Fedor is number one p4p because he's not at a severe disadvantage anywhere, on the ground or standing. (And he has a better record.) Sure, part of the game is mastering the rules, but gaming the rules is something else.

[Loomr]

Oh come on Hendo was doing zero damage on ground. Without the time limit we would have seen either an endless LnP or a reversal if Herderson ever tried to actually land anything.

[leolaff]

Fedor doesnt depend on getting help standing up like Anderson Silva did, or Cro-cop does, or someone who dives through the ropes to reset the fight. I say you lose theoretical points if you need the ref or a round change to bring the fight back to standing.

[ilovesilvia69]

Shogun DEFF has no right to have a title shot. He's looked like shit in his last 2 fights. Liddell should win.

[Euphoria2g]

Great video mate. I agree that GSP fighting Anderson would be a no win situation for GSP so I really hope that fight doesn't happen. I also had a lot of decisions picks for this card as well and I went 4 and 2 with the 6 picks I did.

[swizz33]

BJ got owned big time. They tried to make it a natural talent vs hard work and dedications. Hard work will always beat natural talent in the long run.

[ilovesilvia69]

roids always wins

[portuviejo]

ahh yes much more enjoyable :)

[DKnightJCL]

I picked GSP vs Penn exactly like you did, all my buddies were shocked how correct the pick was.

[jaketherage]

Great review. I had a blast at this event. I got a ton of pictures with fighters. Soon as we walked in the MGM we ran into Thiago Alves. I tried to get a picture with Kid Yamamoto but he got away cause I was trapped in a huge crowd n he walked off. =[

[WhtMike2006]

I think GSP may have passed Silva based on strength of competition, but I dunno. Silva may still be ahead just cause dude is too thuro.

[jrobichess]

Great review.

[elmatador404]

By the way, Joe Rogan did mention Fedor Emelianenko's name at the end of the broadcast last night when he was talking about P4P rankings. He said that in his mind, GSP has made a strong case for the #1 spot with his string of dominating victories. Not that I agree, of course -- Fedor is #1.

[elmatador404]

#1: Fedor

#2 GSP

#3-4 Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida

I read (but can't remember the source), that Dana said if GSP beats Alves and Silva beats Leites, that the superfight between Silva and GSP will take place.

I usually agree with your picks, but I've been saying for a long time that GSP will beat Silva if and when they fight, and I stand by it. He'll take him down at will and his Jiu-Jitsu is better, given that he'll be in top position. I think his Jiu-Jitsu when on top is world-class.

[lstonecoldl]

Loving apocalyptica at the beginning and end of your videos. Nice review, i wonder what Dana will do if Jardine ends up beating Rampage. Everytime UFC is out of contenders they usually ask Couture, so maybe he goes down to 205 to challenge Rashad, probably they'll make Rashad wait for Rampage/Jardine and Shogun/Liddell. Keep up the good work.

[southerndevil]

Grease on your back is cheating, plain and simple.

[MC211982]

I hate seeing my boy Machida being deprived. Dong Hyun Kim got robbed... sucks.

[IryokuNWA]

Oh one more thing, what is your thoughts on Micky Avalon kissing BJ. And it says on his website that BJ loses his "mana" when he is touched before a fight. Haha

[IryokuNWA]

Wow, can Dana want Rampage back in the title picture any more? Everyone knows KJ and Evans are best friends and they wouldn't fight each other, no matter what belt is on the line.

[doliveij]

lol

True. I forgot that Jardine and Rashad train together and def wouldn't fight each other.

And who is Micky Avalon anyway? I did see that "mana" vid. lol

I think that's what happened.

[MMAtheist]

There are probably only about 100 or so knowledgeable MMA fans that play the UFC Fantasy League, the other 20,000 or so are complete morons who likely only pick the main event.

I'm usually in the top 100 with my highest placing being 31st. I forgot to finish my UFC 93 picks. I didn't do the entire undercard and STILL placed 177th.

[WillMillion15]

I got 4th oonce, I havent had to time to play in a long time.

[doliveij]

lol

I thought something was up,

:)

[Bulletproofshirts]

what did you win? top 20 gets some sort of prize.

[doliveij]

I won nothing. Top twenty get a LHW title shot.

lol

[Bulletproofshirts]

Yeah the best I have done is 54th, but I have always been under 150.

[fomiz]

Real talk, my nigger! Thanks for the vlog.

[doliveij]

If you wanna do it like that, you have to not use the "er," and substitute it with an "a."

Strange post.

[fomiz]

Oh shit! I am so sorry! I didn't mean to be racist. Sorry, bro! I will use bro from now on. That is a safer option.

[mmafanatic2]

awesome review man, it think Jardine will upset Jackson and Machida will end up getting the shot, are you going to UFC 97 in Montreal ?

[BalladOfWorms]

Clay Guida is a huggin' ass bitch. A BITCH. He did nothing aside from getting punched and thrown. Fuck Clay Guida. I used to be a fan of his, but all he did was hug.

[johneblaze82]

Dana White is always full of shit. Lyoto really won his fight, and he still tripping. What's wrong with this man?

[jagc3ve]

If Keith Jardine somehow pulls the victory against Jackson I think there won't be any excuses left for Dana White to not give Machida the title shot within this year. Unless we finally hear Dana say in a press conference ''He won't get it because I don't want to! ok?''.

[evilbunz]

Alvez is going to murder GSP.... already knew GSP would dominate but he outclassed him. This was a lose lose situation for him... but Alvez i don't think GSP is beating him.

[thenatural85]

What do you think of BJ's crew saying GSP lubed up his shoulders with Vaseline?

[doliveij]

Well, he did.

Everyone saw it, nobody denies it, and it actually happened. Someone from the commission wiped it off, but it happened.

Sucks that there is a valid arguement for BJ Penn and his crew. It's like attempted murder. You tried to, but they caught you first. Still a crime.

They caught his cornerman, but it's still something that shouldn't be happening.

We'll see what happens next.

Could be called a no contest.

[dbreiden83080]

A no Contest, no that won't happen. Commissions don't take away dominating wins from pro fighters in main events, unless you get caught with something really out there. They saw some vaseline, they wiped it off in between RDS, that's the end of it. If they tried to mess with the win, GSP and his camp would raise so much hell. He murdered Penn, that's not changing, Penn is just a cry-baby..

[soggdogg]

Jeez how does Machida NOT deserve a title shot.

such bs

[SeaOfWholes]

Machida definitely deserves a title shot.

He's 6 and 0 int he ufc with 3 tuff wins.

He's not the most exciting but fuck is he good.

He's just not appealing to the people who like Ko's which is the majority of fans, We all know how the ufc is a business.

[W1D0W187]

I agree on your top 4 in terms of rankings.

[SERGRUELAS]

A while back you called the machida hit man strategy Dana had for Silva but now he has a problem on his hands, man you're very wise. Keep it up its important.

[Loomr]

About your advice to fighters fighting Machida, like Barnett once said: even if the other dude knows what you're gonna do, it doesn't mean he'll be able to stop it.

but yeah, I think if and when Machida fights Rampage or Rashad his style is going to be really tested. Keeping that chin up like he does, there might be a KO. But who knows.

[dadirrtywhyteboi]

To update you on Dana White's opinion of Fedor he was asked in the press conference if Fedor was Top 10(P4P) in the world and he said yes then he was asked is he Top 5 worthy and he said yes so it looks like Dana is starting to realized that Fedor is a force to be recokend with.

[doliveij]

lol

He has always realized. He is just now being forced to admit it.

:)

[jagc3ve]

Right now I think the only WW that can at least win a round or two against GSP is the man he should be facing next , Thiago Alves. I dont think GSP has lost a round since the loss against Serra, and one of those fights went to the whole 5 rounds. On the other hand, Alves has shown great TD defense against excellent wrestlers like Hughes and Koscheck, something to take notice. A very good match coming up IMO.

P.D: I think Joe Rogan broke the rule yesterday mentioning Fedor between p4p fighters.

[ateamga]

Kim won that shit! About the split decisions, how did Diaz win in any judges eyes? Machida looked good; knew he was gonna win. GSP won as expected, but I had no clue it would be that bad of a beat down. Penn was humiliated!

[JediTrekie311]

King George is the man until he fights Jon Fitch and Sug Evans will beat Lyoto and I think he will put a beat down on rampage The UFC should make Brandon da truth fight Lyoto and if he beats the truth then give him a shot

[hattrickhockey17]

Awesome night of fights, you predicted the beatdown, and there def was a beatdown. Love the UFC dolls line lol good stuff. As always, Great Recap, keep it up.

[JanInQB]

hey doliveij, being a fellow Canadian, do you favour Canadian fighters when ever the fight against whatever country the opponent comes from?

I will be honest that I do, especially if they're from Québec (GSP, Coté, Goulet to name a few lol).

[doliveij]

I was rooting for Penn. JUst based on the potential "History" element of a BJ win.

I honestly don't care where they are from. I root for who I believe is the better fighter.

I've never rooted for a Canadian because they were from my country in MMA. (except on the Ultimate Fighter)

[tatertots00]

He doesn't favour any one, he might favor certain fighters though

[Skr3wdriv3r]

GOD DANG penn is a freakin sore loser, what does he want a rematch? Im sure GSP would oblige, and it would be ugly again, god penn comes off as such a douche bag. We have never seen Penn dominated like that, GSP owned him hard, but all this talk of silva vs gsp, god i dont wanna see it, i think gsp would get knocked out.

Luis Cane is Pepito's favorite 205 fighter. MMA Analyst say truth Luis Cane mostest best 205 Fighter in UFC. Luis Cane TKO/KO R. Evans. Luis Cane UD/KO Lyoto Machida. Give Luis Cane a chancer!!! Luis Cane better than Thaigo Silva.

UFC 205

1. Luis Cane

2. R. Evans

3. Machida

4. Q. Jackson

5. Shogun Rua

Give Luis Cane good fight! Luis Cane beat all!

[JanInQB]

As odd that statement is, I actually have to agree with you. I have a lot of hope for Luis Cane. I was hoping to see him take on Chuck Lidell but unfortunately Rua will have the honours.

What's your thoughts on the vaseline conspiracy against GSP's cornerman?

[doliveij]

It's like this:

If they didn't catch him, then what? He woulda had the grease on his back.

They did, But what does that change? Someone tried to cheat.

Not cool.

I am aware that BJ got his ass kicked. But, it is hard to utilize a high guard with any grease on the back.

Not cool.

[nospacesallowed]

I would call it cheating, but I am not sure if it was intentional. Either way though, I don't think greasing is a dq offense. What I mean is if you kick a guy in the groin they take a point. It isn't an instant DQ. What needed to happen is what did happen the commish toweled him off. maybe he should have gotten a point deducted.

it's odd how Penn didn't complain about it during the fight, if it was a detriment he should've. Like with Sakuraba he complained constantly cause it was interfering.

[fomiz]

The grease never made BJ lose.

[nospacesallowed]

My point exactly. Sakuraba arguably lost because of the grease which is why he complained during the match about it. Where Penn said nothing and was dominated.

[Rockmaster2112]

THE DRAGON!!!!!!!!!

Dude, Lyoto is so awesome.

[reflectionsfade3]

If you got Miguel Torres at 5 p4p I'm right there with you btw.

[AlphaKillaX]

bj penn sucks, he's a fag he kissed matt hughes on the lips

[Locklear1989]

Lyoto looked like a beast man. I would like to see him get a title fight, but they better at least keep Lyoto in the UFC, I personally love to watch the guy fight.

[reflectionsfade3]

btw, if you get the dolls and use them in the video... I'd give you some kind of award. Like I'd make a trophy and send it to you lol.

[hoydog33]

HOST U ARE FAG

[doliveij]

You bore me.

[fomiz]

He bores me too. Faceless profile from Cambodia. What does he know? LOL

[reflectionsfade3]

Karo did not win that fight.

Kim won, at the very least Karo drew, but Karo did not win.

[idz135]

Yes,

maybe Kim could've also secured a 3rd round tkdwn when Karo was grabbing the fence.

[reflectionsfade3]

Exactly, I thought Kim won, but could have seen a draw. One mroe takedown would have made it, but honestly, no way Karo won.

[Strictnine76]

I am not saying the outcome of the fight would have been differnet, but I wonder if that GSP cornerman will loose his liscence for greasing GSP's back between rounds

[atronix]

Awesome prediction my canadian brother. Awesome fight. Im so proud to be in Montreal. GSP & Montreal 4 LIFE!

[sammy]

BJ Penn.....damn.

[fomiz]

for real dog. i dont know what happened

[tatertots00]

Oh an Nate Diaz got straight robbed. Nate won that fight.

[tatertots00]

Machida is going to KILL Rashard. I mean 5 rounds of pure domination.

[doliveij]

(From The UFC 94 Post Fight Conference)

White declined to grant light-heavyweight Lyoto Machida a title shot at Rashad Evans despite his impressive first-round knockout of previously unbeaten Thiago Silva in the final second of the first round.

White said he'd first have to watch the March fight between former champ Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Keith Jardine to determine who'll get Evans next, and it seems apparent Jackson will by winning in Columbus, Ohio, next month.

— Lance Pugmire

[tatertots00]

Bull Shyt I guess Machida will have to settle for kicking Chuck Liddells ass.

[doliveij]

Chuck is fighting Shogun.

lol

Try again.

He's getting tooled by Dana.

[tatertots00]

When does Chuck fight Shogun?

And if that fight is too far off, who else is avaliable to get there ass whooped by Machida?

[WillMillion15]

Forrest Griffin or Luiz Cane would be nice..

[Aceofspades128]

hard to believe that Machida had the only first round stoppage
