Have to say I was tempted but decided not to pull the trigger

Shark Fights 17

Jake Rosholt vs Matt Horwich

Horwich +190
Rosholt -240


Horwich won the first fight back in November. He stopped Rosholt with strikes from back mount. Rosholt was able to take him down at will in the first two rounds but as the fight wore on Horwich was able to reverse the D1 level wrestler. Horwich is tough but his 7 defeats in the last 10 have put me off. But in those 10 fights two of those wins have been against solid fighters, Rosholt and the submission of Thales Leites

Awesome card. Seems like everytime GSP is on a card they load it up. Then when we get another superstar on a headlined card, the rest sucks!

I think it's a good fight for him though style wise.

Will Condit be ready for the big stage? This is really going to be his first test at the ELITE of ELITE stages.

i don`t agree with this......the guy fought a co-main event in england vs hardy and beat him at his own game......was the wec champ and fought on numerous televised cards as a main event champion.......

he has shown the ability to come back from the brink and win fights late on enemy soil(rory macdonald)....his cardio is off the charts...

i doubt that condit`s mental has ever been an issue....he seems about as fearless a guy as any i`ve seen in mma...

penn needs to do some good work early....if not ,he may have serious issues late...

one thing in his favor....it`s 3......

i know you didn't just compare the guys and matchups you just mentioned to BJ PENN and on a HUGE card with the entire world tuning in lol

I get what you're saying, but this is a whole new element. The atmosphere is going to be totally different...GSP is on the main event my friend...

i don`t think anything rattles condit....he`s not wired like that....

penn will have to be sharp and strong for 3 HARD rounds...unlike fitch,condit will knock you out or sub you late...
