I truely believe..

That Diego will give bj the most problems he’s had since gsp it’s gonna be a crazy fight

I hope Mir can avoid kongos stand up and take it the ground or surprise us and see Mir win in the stand up

Can’t wait!!

BJ will win

This should be a good fight, but no one at 155 can match up with BJ. I appreciate the skillset that Diego brings but am not a fan of his pre-fight stinkface or his over-the-top Jesus love post-fight. Why don’t fighters thank Jesus after they lose?

by Deuce02 on Dec 1, 2009 2:03 PM EST reply actions

For the same reason nobody thanks Jesus when they get their bike stolen.

FINALLY

Hi everyone, ive been using this site for months now…it’s my favorite site, but for some reason it wasnt allowin me to create an account…i just created one so im ready to get this shit started.

Diego is one of my favorite fighters but against BJ (who i really dislike) i dont think that he has a chance, mainly because standing BJ has great striking (as shown against sherk) and on the ground BJ is BJ…If diego is going to wait until BJ gets tired into the late rounds good luck with that someone by the name of Kenny tried that and we all saw where it got him…i see BJ by UD…

if bj is traiing with marinovich again he wont gas. that guy takes his job way too serious. i think he had his son eating human kidneys or something for strength when he was 8.
