Gabby15 Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 GSP's corner men have been given a bollocking for not wiping their hands after greasing his face. Let's be honest here, that had little to nothing to do with the result , GSP is just much, much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted February 3, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted February 3, 2009 GSP's corner men have been given a bollocking for not wiping their hands after greasing his face. Let's be honest here, that had little to nothing to do with the result , GSP is just much, much better. I read they greased his back heavily and commission people had to run up and wipe it off. Ah well, shame to taint a perfect fight, he would have won anyway. Machida was my pick if the other fights. The man is cunning to say the least. His next opponent would be smart and not chase him. His counters are lethal. Jon Jones is a cool character. Got very tired though, hope he works on that. Bonnar was a little disappointing. Parisyan - Kim zzzzzzzzz Diaz - Guida was a good one. Diaz is immensely talented but like his brother needs to bulk up a bit to avoid being manhandled. Guida is just a hoot to watch. His burping between rounds was -> Fightnight on saturday. Main Card * Lightweight bout: Joe Lauzon vs. Jeremy Stephens * Heavyweight bout: Cain Velasquez vs. Denis Stojnic * Lightweight bout: Mac Danzig vs. Josh Neer * Welterweight bout: Luigi Fioravanti vs. Anthony Johnson Preliminary Card * Lightweight bout: Kurt Pellegrino vs. Rob Emerson * Middleweight bout: Jake Rosholt vs. Dan Miller * Lightweight bout: Matt Grice vs. Matt Veach * Lightweight bout: Rich Clementi vs. Gleison Tibau * Middleweight bout: Nick Catone vs. Derek Downey * Welterweight bout: Steve Bruno vs. Matthew Riddle Looking forward to see Riddle, Clementi - Tibau and Stephens.

Ah well, shame to taint a perfect fight, he would have won anyway. There are alot of different theories. Penn has pretty much accepted that GSP is better though, it's mostly his corner trying to make it a big deal. Penn is reportedly considering retirement now. Arlovski made $1,500,000 for getting his ass kicked by Fedor GSP took in about $400,000 (both figures not including sponsors ETC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted February 3, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted February 3, 2009 The salaries in Affliction are off the chart! Can't see them continue this for very long. That said, the UFC salaries looks pretty small for the number of PPVs they get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Affliction paid Oscar De La Hoya $5 million to appear :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuen_Biao Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Was it me or did Penn seem much smaller than GSP, did Penn go up a weight or something? From the moment Penn stepped out of the dressing room he looked beaten to me! Really enjoyed Lyoto Machida showing the world that a traditional style can win, and win well. Echo the sentiment about Clay Guida; he was an interesting fighter. Diaz seems an ass and deserved to lose because of it in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted February 4, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted February 4, 2009 Was it me or did Penn seem much smaller than GSP, did Penn go up a weight or something? Penn went up a class yes. Weighed in at 168. St Pierre was 170 but according to Rogan he walks around at 185. He's naturally bigger yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuen_Biao Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 That figures as I thought Penn walked around at 155 but weighed more for his fights to 168 as you said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tegis Posted February 21, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted February 21, 2009 Almost forgot about UFC 95 in London. Looking forward to fellow swede Eklund and also Damien Maia. A so so card this but hopefully it will be good anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted February 22, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted February 22, 2009 Good set of fights, enjoyed it. Main event was ok. Sanchez obviously could handle the cut to 155, could be an interesting force at that weight. Stevenson offered very little apart from boxing and a guillotine attempt. Eklund got knocked the f**k out! :cry: Love Damian Maia. Pure BJJ excellence. Title shot now please. Should get the winner in Anderson - Laites fight. Honorable mentions Marquardt, Dos Santos and Hardy. Koscheck I think got sucker punched. Thiago was not impressive at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeFoSho Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Sanchez was massive! 155?! He looked about 185!! I think BJ is in for another pounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuen_Biao Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Personally I thought Sanchez schooled Stevenson and showed his standup game was good. He was elusive and as a result unpredictable. Dan Hardy seemed pretty cool, I hope he does well. Terry Etim was very impressive too, excellant style. I think the commentators compared him to a lighter Anderson Silva. Marquardt was 'gassed' after three rounds and would struggle in a five round title shot if that's what is going to happen next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
