Hell yeah Philicutioner im down for that. I was wondering when we were gonna hear BJ address the camera-men-kick-out incidence.
Ill never get over that one quote though, so funny. Penn sittin on the beach havin a picnic “GSP is probably trainin for the big fight in a snow storm right now” hahahaha

I’m not down for that! GSP by GnP! GSP

B.J. finallly gets another fight at 170 and he will again prove to be out of his weight class and a lesser athlete than GSP! He beat Sean Sherk and Joe Stevenson and he needs to fight Kenny Florian. I cannot believe he wants to defend his title after a second loss. Not a real long-term thinker is he!

I know Jesse always has a thread stating his predictions. But I think Mania needs to do one too. It is one of the biggest fights in MMA history, so it only seems appropriate.

They do…it’s called Nostradumbass

by introvert on Jan 28, 2009 6:14 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Jesse does it. I don’t think Mania chooses the winners too. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Yeah and I know they always say “biggest fight in History”, but this fight has two aspects that really does make it the biggest fight to me.
—For one, this is a fight involving a reigning champion challenging another currently reigning champion, 2 currently reigning champions have never gone head to head before except for one other time in history if im not mistaken(Henderson/Wanderlei).
—And on TOP of that, these are 2 fighters going head to head that 90% of the MMA community can agree on are no less than top 5 P4P, in no particular rank.

Those are 2 characteristics that NO other fight in history has been able to boast until now, which is why to me, this really is a history making fight. The UFC can now really say “biggest fight in history”, although it will just make it all that much more rediculous when they try to say that about the next main event haha.

Bravo are showing the Affliction card again now here in the UK. It seems like it has been on every night since sunday night.

If you haven’t seen and you Bravo tune in and might just catch Andrei take his famous nose dive into the canvas….its a classic already!

GSP GSP GSP GSP GSP GSP

by Brandon on Jan 28, 2009 6:33 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

likely outcome: GSP TKO (GnP) somewhere past the 3rd round

if BJ wins – i see him working it like Joe Stevenson by rocking GSP with his boxing, somehow taking him to the ground and either subbing him out with an RNC or GNP

Altho unless he’s heavily rocked, i think GSP can muscle his way out of any trouble

what more can we say about this one…honestly we’ve gone down every road here….we’re like an old couple in a deli struggling to find things to talk about after 60 years of being married :)

GSP by UD or BJ by TKO. I’m leaning toward GSP, but the fight’s a coin flip.

BJ list looks pretty short. Is there a lot of Canadians on this site?

by jay on Jan 28, 2009 11:16 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

The results are actually going along with other general polls (UFC fight poll, etc) roughly 65-70% for GSP is what seems to be the concensus in the MMA world for this fight, CRAZY!! Crazy that almost 70% of the MMA world is about to be silenced, til he calls out his next victim. . .

I thought the BJ segments on the prime time show were pretty lame. They don’t show much of BJ’s actual training. The ‘running of the rock’ or whatever it was called was a joke. You’re pretty buoyant in the water even if your carrying a 50 lb rock. It would have been a lot more impressive to run with that rock on land, up a steep incline!

did anyone else notice at the end georges and his crew looked like they were going to battle and penn and his crew looked like they were going to a funeral all looking sad kissing bj goodbye giving him flowers like he is never ever coming back GSP by DEATH oh and that was the best countdown/primetime EVER

by TAY on Jan 29, 2009 12:59 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

did anyone notice how BJ seemed less confident of victory every episode the nearer the fight is getting .. I think in his heart he thinks that GSP has got him covered .. GSP seems nuthin but stone cold sure he’s got this .. that being said BJ and his foul mouth can go f^%&* themselves coz GSP gonna whip that lazy ass

by Jakob on Jan 29, 2009 8:15 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

Oh my god! That was the sickest show EVER! I’m so amped for this fight! I hope they show that in the 1/2 hr block leading up to the 7pm fight. Goosebumps mother f*cka!
