Nope. He straight up said "I've had weight problems. You're blocked bitch"
My man.

Not GSP's fault all these martial artist are not very good at the oldest martial art in the world.
Capt's cognitive dissonance is hilarious.
I don't disagree with what I've heard, but the way he talks makes him deserving of a brick to the face.

Meh, Machida runs and doesn't press the action. GSP is more of a welterweight Lennox Lewis, content to kill you with a damaging jab.
I want to see Wandy versus future #1er the Ruthless One. Tell me that shit wouldn't be great.
Fuck ya.

Lawler would KO Wand so quick. Watch his fight w/ Manhoef for proof.
And he's down at 170 now anyways.

The Ruthless 1 fought at 185 in strikeforce right, its a fun fight, I'd buy it on PPV.

Wand needs to fight a guy that's not "Punchy" Vitor Belfort is the perfect example of a guy he shouldn't get matched with. I would rather see him get matched with Griffen, Evans or even Sonnen if loses to Jones. Those are all fights that Wand won't have to worry about getting KO and they are big money fights. We know he's never touching the title so put him in legacy fun fights.

His chin was never that bad as many were to believe. He's only been Brutally KOd once in the Rampage fight and the Lebman fight was a joke. He's eaten big shots from Chuck and just shrugged them off.
Machida looks to finish in most of his fights. The problem is that he's a small 205 so he doesn't have the power and has to depend more on being accurate.

When Machida finishes his next opponent he will be loved again. It's the Machida cycle.

In what world is Machida a small 205er? Rashad is small not Lyoto.

The extra weight and water at 205 may have helped. Struve's chin also looked more solid with his extra weight. Of course the issue with Struve is that by the time he's thoroughly gormandised and cutting to 265 he'll already be punch drunk with a head full of metal plates.
TheKaeptain said:
Height isn't size. Machida weighs 205 or under on fight nights. Rashad cuts from 215 or so.
A lot of fights he has weighed in under 204. He even has a fight where he is 199. He's a small lhw. He wins a lot so people don't notice. He doesn't cut weight then blow up to 215+ on fight night.
Machida usually weighs in a couple of pounds under the limit. I think he could easily make 185 if he chose to. He's not particularly well muscled or dehydrated at 205. He could make 185, but then again you think GSP is a small 170...

He didn't have to dry his brain out to make 185 the prior day.

Machida's fucking huge during training. Lol gsp cut less weight than Shields, and Kos bro. He's also shorter than both.

Machida makes 185 easy.
Anderson seems bigger than him.
Anderson seems bigger than him.
Yea he always looks a little doughy. Im sure if he lifted and got his swole on he'd be easily in the 220 range.
TheKaeptain

Him and Anderson only do light lifting because it makes them slower or some shit like that. He still cuts to get to 205. Rashad told me on twitter he only cuts like 5 pounds when fighting at 205.

^He drinks his own pee every morning.
Dream is currently spazzing out about Kriss Kross in the OT... and he has the nerve to make fun of NNK?

You can train for explosiveness. As long as they dont put on 50 lbs of muscle they'll be fine. Just look at our Canadian overlord.

He said that he maintains his weight year round. He might lose a little fat, but he doesn't do a water or carb cut. He even makes a show of drinking before hopping on the scales and weighing well under 205. He also lifts (relatively) heavy now, squats and olympic lifts. Back when he was fighting Franklin in Japan he was 220 or so and looked like a sumo on a diet, but now he's a small LHW.

Machida was 225 vs BJ and Sam Greco in 2004 and 2005.
what does Kos and Shields have to do with Machida being a small LHW and GSP being a large WW?
he was also fat as fuck in those fights.

GSP isn't that big is the point. He's in a division with guys that out weigh him and are taller yet in your mind he's the Jon Jones of 170.
OT2 never die friend.

Jones isn't that big either, though he's been steadily putting on weight. He's tall, but cuts
TheKaeptain

Nope. GSP was only cutting 20 pounds for the Josh fight to make up for the difference. He said he is down to low 180's now. Jon fucking brags (on twitter) about starting higher than 225 and getting down to 205 in a few weeks.

Question for all you MMA Mathmeticians - who should Mark Hunt fight next? Does he deserve a title shot after another win or two?
TheKaeptain
Banned
Big Country
we're talking about the same guy who admitted to weighing in over 190 lbs for the 2nd bj penn fight, who you crapping?
and height has nothing to do with it, by your logic Steve Strouve is the biggest heavyweight on the planet.
The only right answer. Heavyweight aint big enough for two iron chinned heavy handed short fat dudes.
TheKaeptain

Height and Weight.

Could either be great or terrible. Seeing how gassed Hunt was in this last fight though, I think Big Country would outlast him and probably sub him in the 3rd. That is, barring a KO.
Maklershed

Speaking of which - I don't know if it was his shorts or what but did Hunt look a lot chubbier than the last time he was in the Octagon?

Hunt vs Roy or Carwin. Actually Carwin, since he has no fight scheduled
