"Honestly, I'll stand with him until he hits me and then I will stand with him some more and then he's going to be like, 'What's happening?' And then I'm going to take him down. Then I will keep putting him on the ground and he's going to try to get up and then I'm going to take him back down and I'm going to hit him. He's not going to know where I'm coming from and he's not going to know what happened. And then he's going to know the fights over. I [know what] I really want to do in my heart, that I'm going to do and I can't say it, but it's going to be bad."
Staunch UFC veteran and 155-pound noisemaker Joe Stevenson sounds off on recent comments regarding Spencer Fisher's strategy for their UFC 104 fight from the Staples Center on Oct. 24. "Daddy" makes no qualms about keeping it standing -- nor does he hide the fact that takedowns will be the order of the day. The question is, now that both fighters know what the other plans to do, who will have the better success executing their game plan? We'll find out this Saturday.

bad match up for Fisher. He got dominated on the ground by Edgar and the same will happen when Stevenson gets a hold of him.

agreed- seems like Stevenson since training with Greg Jackson has using his wrestling alot more… got a BIG question for everyone… KenFLow Trains now at the TriStar Gym in Montreal. But GSP trains at tristar and Greg Jackson- does that mean that when GSP helps Stevenson that he’s not allowed to give away stevenson tricks to kenny incase they ever fight again?? And does this mean we won’t ever see stevenson vs Clay?? cuz they both train at Jacksons- ??

First, it’s only the WWs at AKA who refuse to fight each other. And second, nobody wants to see Joe vs. Clay ’n Pray.

This is the first Fisher fight where I will be cheering for him. Not that I hate him, just not a fan. But I really hate Joe Daddy, he is a nice guy and all, just something I hate about him.

Pointless fight – neither will ever fight for the title. This card reeeeeeeeeeeeks

If people who will never fight for the title…..never fight…the UFC roster would be awful small and we’d get 2 events a year.

what up Chef? I cant see JOoe daddy losing this fight!

Howdy john-san! I think Joe Daddy takes this one hands down. But I don’t see a decision, but I can’t decide if this’ll be a TKO or submission. And I really like watching Spencer fight, but this is just a bad matchup!

Joe better take it to the ground. Fisher will tool him on the feet. Unless being a gatekeeper is just really Joe’s thing.

I’m still pulling for Spencer regardless of how tough this will be for him. I do see Joe daddy holding him down for 11 mins, but hopefully he does very little from the ground like usual and the other 4 mins are spent with the king peppering him so bad that Joe is reduced to takedowns. If that’s the case the king could squeak a decision.
Plz beat this guy Spencer

Nobody will know what happened until it’s over because everyone will fall asleep within two minutes of your LnP.

Agree with you there. I like watching Fisher fight cause his stand-up is killer but his take-down defense is not! He had trouble with Caol Uno and couldn’t mount much of an offense in that fight also. Stevenson looked great and smarter in his last fight.

I’m actually interested to see this fight

i agree with you phenomenal angel joe daddy by guillotine late in 1st round i predict.Joe daddy has always been tough but seemed to lack in strategy but he looks like he is addressing this.

I have joe by smothering spencer with his entire body.
by Steve on Oct 22, 2009 12:35 PM EDT reply actions
I would be willing to bet Joe will take him down numerous times and one of the times when spencer trys to get up he will slap on the signature guillotine… I want spencer to knock him out but I bet he loses by choke…. I can just see it

If Stevenson stands with the King he will not like the results. I REALLY hope Fisher has worked hard on his takedown defense because Edgar was just having his way with him. Would love to see Fisher KO Stevenson because as someone said before dont know why, but something about Joe just rubs me the wrong way.

I h8 Joe daddy. And Joe mamma. Get it? Joe momma? Yo momma? Meah nevermind. Wasn’t funny anyways. But I do hope he loses somehow.

“I’ll stand with him until he hits me and then I will stand with him some more and then he’s going to be like, ‘What’s happening?’ And then I’m going to take him down.”
This is the lamest thing any fighter has ever said.

“the lamest thing any fighter has ever said”??? Peazy, peazy, peazy! How could you so quickly forget the legacy of the great orator of our times, the Geoge W. Bush of MMA, Tito Ortiz!

Oh STFU Joe. You’re overrated! Fisher with the upset!
by Syd on Oct 22, 2009 8:40 PM EDT reply actions
always liked joe, and the promoters like him, he can bleed a lot a keep on fighting, but his preview of the fight is flawed whith the “then he will get back up”
