I cant remember the last time I enjoyed a fight that Sean Sherk won. Props to Sherk for a very exciting fight…props to tyson as well!

Sherks hands looked amazing. He should try stranding more often. My only beef with him is it seems like he doesnt go with the flow. When I watch him fight, I cant help but believe that he thinks to much. He doesnt do a good enough job of mixing striking with takedowns. We either see him in striking mode or Dry Hump mode. He should really start mixing it up more. THrow some cobos then go for the takedown. Sherk becomes too predictable. Everyone knows when he will shoot and when he will bang.

Hope to see him mix it up in the future, but he fought a great fight last night, and I bash him a lot on this site, so I would like to give props and a special thanks to Sherk for entertaining the crap out of me last night!

Sherk vs. Maynard anyone?
Tyson vs. Clementi?

alves vs gsp/penn now that would be an amazin fight … alves is sick!! i’ve liked him ever since i saw him against loser dasouza (sorry for the spelling)ever since he has just got better and better

damn, ur f*@cking stupid! the UFC has a strict steroid testing policy and all of the top fighters every PPV get tested multiple times during training and then in the week prior to the fight right before weigh-ins and everything. They’re not on ‘roids ’specially not Alves. It’s called working out in the gym. Maybe you should try it?

You have to admit though Alves didn’t look as swole in this fight as he did with Hughes.

Yeah, Kos admitting Alves was the better fighter was refreshing. I usually hate Kos but I am also starting to gain some respect for him. Taking the fight with 2 weeks notice must have been pretty tough too so I gotta give him that.

It is hilarious there are these people that believe that just because a guy is muscular and cut he has to be on steroids. These comments usually come from a skinny kid that could never put on any muscle mass even with all the protein shakes in the world OR a fat slob that hasn’t been in a gym since High School PE. Genetics are different from person to person. These guys are in the gym 6 days a week and dieting to consistently build up lean muscle mass. Some are lean and lanky, and some are stacked and bulky. For someone to think that every fighter who looks like a body builder is on steroids shows complete ignorance towards MMA, training, and human physiology.

Wow John…posting enough?

JOHN. tell phil i like those match-ups alot as well. both of them make sense.

Idk, I always said even prior to this beating that he gave Kos that Alves would give GSP his best challenge but I don’t think he’s capable of winning just yet. But make no mistake about it, it will be a war. GSP has some big fights lined up for him next with Penn, Alves and Anderson Silva. I mean thats three of the best challenges he could ever get in the sport all within the next 9 months or so.

I thought it was stupid what Silva was doing in the 1st round. But so what, like you say b.w. “what about all the great fights before” Anybody who lost something for Silva was not a fan anyway!

Well said b.w., this is the way I see it too. I just think that the people who said Silva would destroy Cote are looking for a way to justify their unwavering thoughts of Silva being able to destroy anyone and everyone, all the time. I seen the fight as more of a mental chess match and I thought that was the best Silva has ever looked (skill wise). I don’t blame Silva one bit for being more causious than normal. If he was over zealous against a dangerous opponent like Cote, he could end up looking like one of his own past victoms.

It DID look like showboating even if it wasn’t. But I found it awesome just to watch him move though. He changes direction in an instant and he’s so light on his feet. I think he was just trying to get Cote angry so he’d make a mistake and capitalize on it.

well i relly dont think gsp has better stand up than alves and so far not a damn person can take that man down…but then again its gsp so im not sure, i think if i had to bet money it would be gsp but i really cant look past alves

That’s a tough one to call. I see Alves being GSP’s toughest test (yes tougher than BJ). It would be a hell of a war. I’m not saying GSP can’t stand with him, but it wouldn’t be the smartest (safest) game plan. Alves’s TD defence is great, but GSP has a guy down before his opponents mind registers “sprall”. If GSP can’t take him down early, your going to see a very nervous GSP fan, that’s for sure. I think GSP will be out muscled for once, but he is a master at using leverage to his advantage, so he still might maul him on the ground. Alves offers something that we haven’t seen GSP face before, which makes for a very intriguing fight. I’m looking forward to it.
