So what you're saying is that instead of dominating a fighting in a safe way he should give the other guy a chance to beat him? Because that's what it sounds like you're saying to me.

anybody feel sorry for Diaz? Penn is going to straight out murder him..

He has a better chance than he would against GSP. I think it'll be a very good fight. They're gonna fucking scrap.

If UFC really takcles something has deep as social anxiety in this storyline then I gotta give them props because it would be the freshest storyline in years. I mean we can't even imagine what Diaz was feeling as he tried to merge from the median to return to Stockton.

This is true. it would be like the R-Truth storyline only with someone that doesn't suck and makes me want to change the channel.

My cousin watched the video and thinks he was right behind Nick. Since he was also driving back from the bay. He said Nick cut someone off nasty to make it.

nobody wants a thread of gsp fellatio, the rightful main event and fight of the night is going to be Penn vs Diaz, and the OT should reflect that. Hell Mirko vs Nelson is going to get billing over GSP/Conduit in my OT.

WILD BOYS!

That's assuming they respect each other, but when have either of these guys had any respect for their opponents' skills? BJ only gets tentative when he's losing, especially when he can't stop the takedown. Diaz never goes for takedowns. It'll be fine.

i say penn loses because he just gives up like he (generally) has done in the last couple of years, but i hope i'm wrong.

also, i will go with captyamato: if lesnar TKO's overeem, i will change my avatar to whatever you want. not happening.

penn only gases against wrestlers who outweigh him by 20-30 lbs. diaz is neither of those things. this will be a standup scrap

I'm for Overeem.

penn didn't gas in the first edgar fight, which i think he won btw. the 2nd fight he did gas, but frankie mixed up striking with wrestling well in that fight. either way you are talking about a 5 round fight, and frankie is a good wrestler.

nicks not a wrestler, and its a 3 round fight.

BJ didn't gas. He just didn't care about fighting Frank Edgar. Because, let's be honest, who the fuck is Frank Edgar?

i think part of what makes BJ Penn such a compelling fighter is that he has all the natural fighting ability in the world, but he's just lazy and doesn't quite give a fuck to be the best. so it gives him this case of unfulfilled potential, which i guess is appealing to slackers like me. and the fact he always comes and fights makes him my favorite fighter.

i think people misplace GSP/Serra 1 as the turning point in GSP's career transforming him into a point fighter, I would say that it was GSP/Penn 1. GSP realized in the first round he was in a fight and was getting his ass kicked, and quickly realized he would need to go for meaningless takedowns to try to steal a decision. he ended up winning the fight, but spent the night in the hospital while bj partied in the clubs.

Grease!

I'm kidding btw. It actually pisses me off when BJ gives up during fights and comes in unprepared. The 2nd Edgar fight was disgusting. Edgar did exactly the same thing as the first fight, but just with more confidence. BJ had no game plan.

This is the first time I've seen laziness thought of as an appealing character trait. I wish there were women who thought like you, yaco.

I'm a big fan of "Funky" Ben Askren and I don't even know why.

Who the fuck is Frankie Edgar? He'd be the guy who beat BJ twice and stole his god damned belt. That's who the fuck Frankie Edgar is.

He looks like the kind of guy who fights for 30 and 30 to me.

Dear wrestling haters,

You think we should watch wrestling tournaments, we think should watch kickboxing tournaments. Let's quit whining about it and realize it's a mixed discipline sport founded for the purpose of seeing which discipline bests the other.

If someone can beat GSP let's see it. If they know they're going to get taken down and can't stop it, what does that say? He's a master of his craft and you should see some beauty in it.

I'm more impressed by some of GSP's decisions than I am with half the knockouts I see.

Signed,
A well-rounded MMA fan

P.S. - Please don't reply with "I like wrestling, just not GSP and Jon Fitch!". Let's not kid ourselves.

Diaz's only chance is to exploit his 4 inch height and reach advantages but I still think Penn has his way with him. Diaz should be fighting someone like John Hathaway or Paulo Thiago.

Tito and Franklin on Facebook is one of the stupidest things I can even fathom. Would have been a great main event for UFC 139.
