They really messed up the end of last year by not trading Tejada when they could have. They could have gotten something for him but instead finished out the year with him and got nothing.

Josh should be GSPs toughest competition since Alvez but he still doesn't stand a chance. After that fight GSP needs to move up. I agree with cutting Daley.

Not much activity on this topic so I'll start it. Shogun really stepped up and dominated Machida with his first round knock out. Machida didn't look like a title holder much less a PFP candidate. I really thought Shogun would take it this time but I didn't expect it to be that quick. Shogun says he would fight Anderson; I'd like to see that one. Koschek got the win and while he dominated Daley with his wrestling I saw no fire to put him away like I expected from him. And then when the fight was over Daley's punk sucker punch made Koschek look like the bigger man,,,, for just a minute and then he opened his mouth and insulted the hosting Canadians. Kimbo did not impress me but I was suprised Dana cut him so quick. Your thoughts?

Now that's what I call a fish tail  :D

Since the first post they are at .500 (one win one loss) Not bad for a comeback ::)

Way to go Bears

Good to see Lee contribute. I hope his walk off gets him out of his funk

[quote name="Rebel4Christ" post="795948" timestamp="1272572128"] GSP will slay him, but at least we can have a decent build up to a 170 lb championship main event.  At least they can bill Shields the "strikeforce middleweight champ" vs. the UFC champ.  But that right there will show all you non beilevers that the UFC is the most dominant MMA organization in the world. [/quote] I will agree with you on the UFC as the most dominant but I was really suprised that Shields beat Henderson. I expected Henderson (ex UFC quality fighter) to handle shields easily. GSP will have no problem.

Have real Astros return by getting swept?

There were some highs and lows in WEC 48. There were a couple of really good fights. Aldo was much better than I thought even though he showed no killer finishing instinct. Faber's game plan was terrible and he did not look good. Brown was also dissapointing.

Last night Dana said Shields was his. I'd like to GSP welcome him to the UFC

I respecr Couture but I think it's mistake if he's the main event. He's not an exciting fighter anymore and he's sure smart enough not to stand up with a pro boxer. Edger and Penn rematch will be good and a much better main event. Edger may not get to enjoy his title long.

It's a relief to see a string of wins after such a string of losses. To early to really get my hopes up but they have been fun to watch. Good to have Berkman back.

Several sights have Sonnen ranked as the #2 or 3 MW. I'm not sure why but I'm not really familure with him. Bottom line is no one in this devision can touch Silva and I dodn't know why he isn't moving up. I thought when he took on Forrest he was going to move his way up; I guess not.

Yea, that was the most exciting part of an agrivating main event. Dan came out like the dominating fighter he can be and then he was done. He looked out of shape because he had nothing the rest of the fight, and then Shields was really agrivating. He had him mounted the rest of the fight and kept throwing sissy strikes; Looked like he was scared to hit Dan. He must've thrown 50 shots to the head and not one of them did any damage. I was really disappointed until mayhem showed up.

And the comeback begins.  ;)

Ford Stadium  :D

They lost 2-1. Closest loss so far; I see improvement.  :'( ::)

The topic is PFP. Andersons last fight did not help his case. Couture would hang on him against the fence for five rounds. Well maybe just three since it would not be a title fight.

You have tyo wonder whats going on behind the seens with Silva. May be this was a fight he didn't want to begin with nad maybe it was a fight that Dana made happen. Could be a power struggle. I thought it was funny though how ticked off Dana was after the fight. He was NOT happy with Silva.

The Stros usually get off to a slow and then pick up momentum. I don't have that feeling this year.

I agree with you on the decission but it doesn't help his PFP case

Could be, but in his last fight Shogun came very close to beeting him; some say he did. Their next fight will tell the tail.

How can I change my vote?  >:(
