UFC 129: St-Pierre vs Shields

Is boxing not an aspect of MMA? Could Toney not have come swinging for the fences (which he should have), and knocked him out?

The Forrest statement also makes no sense. Just cause someone has an MMA history, does not make it a good basis for a prediction. That's like me picking Cheick Kongo to beat Fedor by submission in a fight. Sure, he's not known for submissions, but he has a couple on his record and he has an MMA background. See? It makes no sense.


I don't care if Sonnen rocked Silva. That happened one year after the Forrest fight. Don't act like you used that to predict Forrest knocking out Silva.

Then you say 'don't say it isn't possible because it can happen on any given night', then completely disregard the idea of James Toney knocking out Couture. once again, lolwut?

I'm just saying that, if people had to bet money on which is more likely, Forrest knocking out Silva or Toney knocking out Couture. I would easily say a majority would pick the latter. Hell, even the betting lines were more favourable in that sense.

I love Forrest Griffin but he did not try in that fight. He had himself beat before he even got into the Octagon. He was practically begging to get out of there.



I think it's the UFC 129 thread. People get off topic, **** happens.

And Old School, I think they will be releasing more tickets. I know they released some last night.

Going with Georges St-Pierre, José Aldo, Jason Brilz, Randy Couture, Ben Henderson, Nate Diaz, Jake Ellenberger

I know they're on DirecTV channel 101.

I'll give my predictions after the weigh-ins.

Thanky, thanky, lamb shanky.

Just got back from the Super 7 Presentation/Weigh-ins. Had an awesome time, and lucked out with some pretty great seats.

It was neat seeing all seven champions together at once. Unfortunately, Aldo/GSP couldn't stay too long because I guess they had to take care of some medical stuff before the weigh-ins.

Obviously an enormous pop for GSP both times he came out. Henderson got booed for not making weight, and Aldo received a mixed reaction from the crowd both times he came out. Mixed reaction for Silva too, especially when they Rogan brought up the possible GSP/Silva match.

That's awesome. The atmosphere's going to be electric...

I made a stupid mistake of not thinkingI would get into the weigh-ins and left. Got front row for the Chuck Q&A though. Also was like the 3rd person to ask Bruce Buffer a question, lol.

I'll just do the 3 main fights:

Lyoto Machida Vs Randy Couture - I would LOVE Randy to win this fight... especially if it is indeed his last fight. But Machida is such a bad match-up for him style-wise... I can see him peppering Randy with shots and keeping the fight at range to win a UD - or possibly get a late stoppage. But, as we've learned with Randy, you can NEVER count him out...

Jose Aldo Vs Mark Hominick - It's a shame for Aldo that the Featherweight division isn't deep in talent, otherwise he could possibly be seen as the best P4P fighter in the world. I think he's on another level to Hominick, and should stop him around the 3rd.

Georges St.Pierre Vs Jake Shields - Although they are both great wrestlers, St.Pierre is a far superior striker and kick-boxer to Shields and if he can keep this fight on it's feet, he could end up getting a stoppage win. If not, he'll win a convincing decision to once again confirm himself the best P4P fighter on the planet (...sorry Anderson Silva fans... )


Enjoy the fights, guys!

I wonder if Cain heard about Bones saying his brother would DESTROY Cain if he had a little training....
