UFC 79 now has GSP vs Hughes!!

[BUCSnotYUCKS]

So many unknowns? Are you serious?

Doug Evans, Mark Bocek, Soa Palalei are the only ones I don't much about.

The guy other than Wandy that I'm excited to see is Sokoudjou. He hasn't fought in awhile, and his last 2 fights were KO's over 2 of the best fighters in the world. Machida is considered one of the best fighters in the world. However, Machida has gotten by lately with just doing enough to win. Against Sokoudjou he won't be able to do that.

IMO, there are 3 fights that known MMA followers would consider Main Event Status. The first 3.

 

[BUCSnotYUCKS]

I think the Wandy Chuck fight will be very interesting. Chuck likes guys to come at him swinging so he can catch them with their chins out and Wandy only knows one way and that's straight ahead. There are so many unknowns in this fight that's it's impossible to predict. I love watching both fighters so it's a win win for me either way.

I can say this, my blood will be pumping when they are face to face with Big John giving them their instructions.

The thing that people misunderstand about Chuck is he actually doesn't like guys who force the action. Look at how he's done against guys who've done that to him. Guys like Tito, and the 2 Randy fights, they didn't come after him, they stood, but they didn't be the agressor.

Wandy will force, force, and force. Liddell will not be able to take the defensive approach because he won't have the time to sit, jab, sit, jab, sit, jab like he does against other strikers.

Bucs, slow down and read the post man. I said "There are so many unknowns in THIS fight that's it's impossible to predict." I wasn't talking about the other fights.

And by saying unknowns I mean is Wany back to himself after two very bad KOs, where is Chuck mentally and the biggest one is will either guy have injuries we won't know about going into the fight? (i.e. Shogun hurt both his knees a month before the Forrest fight and had hardly done any cardio work, the week after the fight he had surgery on them. That is something that makes these fights impossible to guarantee)

Sorry bro, my bad

You can see how it's possible to misread it though.

:shrug:

Sorry bro, if I had flowers, I'd send 'em to ya :shrug: dunno what to do!

.

Ah that is nice of you bro. Had an old chick one time send me flowers. I fell off a small bridge and fell in a pile of unfinished dried concrete. right on the ribs. Had to lay in bed a few days and then the flowers came. Ask my mom what the hell are they and she said Colleen sent you flowers. I said put the silly fukers over there on the table. Those things grew on me and for the five days they stayed alive i kinda thought it was cool. When they died i was heart broken and vowed to never ever buy anyone flowers. So thanks for the offer anyway, but i can't accept them. Thanks Spongy

I'm not because the concensus of most is that GSP is better. Also, GSP has the most recent score and has the most recent win H2H.

Most recent wins but the line was at pick em or Hughes -115 just before the fight. It doesnt explain an almost 3-1 odds... Should have been in the likes of GSP -150 or -200 but not that much...:nono:

 

[gardenweasel]

hughes,imo,has almost looked disinterested the last year or two.....

either he overestimates himself or,maybe,the mma game is passing him by....


when he lost the second gsp fight he looked almost lackadaisical....gsp looked out of his league....

is hughes done?.....maybe....i`m sure he can still wrestle/g&p his way through 95% of the competition,but he seems to lack intensity...in almost every recent fight he has had to fend off fight jeopardizing submissions etc to win....at least it seems that way..he`s a slow starter...

a guy like gsp hits the ground running and doesn`t usually give his opponents a chance to get warmed up...

i think that serra was well worth the shot as a dog and i`m extremely sorry the fight got cancelled...

On one of the episodes of this most recent TUF, Matt Hughes admitted that over his last 4or5 fights he hasn't trained hard, and hasn't been as interested and he thinks he only has 2or3 fights left in him.

 

[layinwood]

Not sure if anyone has seen some recent pics of Wandy but he's looking ripped up. This will be a good night of fights.

For that price I would be willing to take a small shot at Hughes. GSP is one of my top 3 fav fighters but that's pretty damn high.

 

[BUCSnotYUCKS]

I think I, and most people who've ever played a sport can relate to Wandy.

It's like you're training/practicing every day, and everytime you turn around you have a fight. You also get nicks and nack kind of injuries. Sore wrist, sore knee, bumbed ankle. And you just mentally get worn down.

All you need is down time. Some time to yourself and just let your injuries heel, let you body fully recover.

 

[BUCSnotYUCKS]

I wish BETUS had their MMA wagers out already.

I'm really interested in the Machida and Sokoudjou...anyone else?

Machida is considered one of the best in the world....still undefeated, but boring of late. Sokoudjou just coming off BRUTAL KO wins over Lil Nog and Ricardo Arona, 2 of the top 10 in their weight class in the world.

One thins is for sure, Machida isn't going to be able to bring a boring fight to this one.

 

[kickserv]

1837..........that's about where I thought the odds would be...GSP should be a big fav...I mean look at the last fight....he killed Hughes I mean it wasn't even close:com:


GW

.............I agree with ya...Serra was going to be my pick as well I thought his odds were sweet...oh well:SIB



and BUCSnotYUCKS why on earth would ya use a crap book like BetUs:shrug: anyway...if ya care odds are as follows at 5dimes:

Chuck Liddell -110
Wanderlei Silva -120

Roger Huerta +115
Clay Guida -145

Matt Hughes +195
Georges St. Pierre -255

Lyoto Machida -130
Rameau Sokoudjou +100


BJ Penn -260
Joe Stevenson +220


Nate Marquardt -175
Thales Leites +145


Anderson Silva -145
Dan Henderson +115

 

[kickserv]

and let us not forget.......this post is about the greatest human being on the planet.....

GSP baby....GSP



the god...the legend...the best mma fighter on the planet....I mean the guy could beat Reptile and Baraka if he had too :mj07:

GSP
GSP
GSP

 

[layinwood]

Man, there are a ton of fights I can't wait to see. A lot of guys getting tested that haven't been tested so far.... Huerta(he's going to have to show something special to hang with Guida's intensity. Stevenson(for some reason I think he could win if he can keep it on the ground and boring). Machida's fight is interesting for both guys. They truely contrast each other and we will see if Machida can take a big hit or maybe avoid big hits because Sokou will bring it and bring it hard.

The fight I really can't wait for is Silva Henderson. It will be a war but at this point I would have to go on Hendo since he's the dog.

and BUCSnotYUCKS why on earth would ya use a crap book like BetUs:shrug: anyway...if ya care odds are as follows at 5dimes:

Clay Guida -145

#1- That Huerta/Guida fight could end up being one of the best fights on the year, and it would be just in time!

#2- I know I know, I didn't know what I was getting into. I used to be on Bodog, but was getting murdered, literally...needed a change. Anyways, I've been running good, and I finally got a good feel for the site and most of all, my betting is right on basically.

Also, I wanted something that would accept my Bank Card, and it does. However, once I cashout, I'm gonna move somewhere else.

Honestly, what would you recommend?(remember, I'm US).

 

[kickserv]

GSP likes 5dimes :mj07:

and GSP is always right :SIB

getting closer to GSP time.....:00hour :00hour
