The card tonight look decent, I like all the brazilians on it. Fabricio Camoes is a Royler Gracie BJJ blackbelt and I"ve read that he fought a barenuckle fight at 17 years old with Anderson Silva that lasted over 25 minutes. He makes his UFC debut against Caol Uno (don't now why this is not on the main card). Lil Nog vs Luiz Cane might be fight of the night and Paulo Thiago could have been fighting GSP before his loss by decision. There seems to be alot Gracie trained fighters coming to UFC lately. I don't know why cause the refs and Judges are ussually anti ground game.

I like the card. I want to see Johnson knock Koscheck into next week and Baroni get subbed. As for Tito/Griffin, yeah, who cares?



Tito Ortiz vs. Forrest Griffin
Josh Koscheck vs. Anthony Johnson
Paulo Thiago vs. Jacob Volkmann
Luiz Cane vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
Amir Sadollah vs. Phil Baroni

Undercard may not be broadcast:
Ben Saunders vs. Marcus Davis
Kendall Grove vs. Jake Rosholt
Brock Larson vs. Brian Foster
Caol Uno vs. Fabricio Camoes
George Sotiropoulos vs. Jason Dent

I personally think the Koscheck/Johnson winner has a better chance against GSP than Dan Hardy. But it doesn't really matter because WW in the UFC goes like this

GSP
Jon Fitch
Everybody else

I just watched Kim Dong Yun's fight against Jason Tan, he looks impresive at WW. I'm actually kind of pumped for the Tito fight. From the pre fight hype show I watched earlier he seems to be fully healthy.

I do not see it this way, I see it as anti lay-n-hug. If you are not interested in transitioning to subs or causing damage go to a freakin' grappling tourny.

Well, that and the fact that she gets the crap kicked out of her.

what the fck is with spike playing the prelims free, then again on the PPV. If i actually payed for the ppv i'd be pissed.

Also, i called that tito would lose and cry that he was injured after the fight. So sick of tito. Scrub.

Yeah why the hell did they make us watch those fights twice? They weren't awful fights by any means, but what's the logic?

I thought it was funny how people were picking Tito to win after not fighting in a year and a 1/2. I had Forrest decision and thought it was hillarious how overnight Tito was "60%" again, He's is a whiny *****. I did pick Johnson KO. Lil' Nog took care of Cain, I couldn't call that one. Saunders was a bit surprising as well he's got some mean knees. I was figuring Amir by submission. I gotta give it to Baroni though he's tough he got his ass BEAT for 15 minutes.

Lil nog knocking cain out was the easiest prediction for me that night. Also was right about tito and koscheck, although not the method with koscheck.

Lil Nog looked great with his hands. I though he looked in the best shape of his career. Call me impressed!

I know. What about Koscheck? I feel like Josh might pose the only (semi)credible threat to Georges' crown.

True, but i don't feel that koscheck deserves another title shot yet either. 3-2 in his last 5 fights isn't great, and one of those wins was against frank trigg, so in my eyes he's really 2-2 in his last fights and the knockout over yushida was good, but that guy isnt even in top 10. Fitch deserves another shot more than koscheck and definitely more than hardy, he's 4-1 in his last 5. Sadly there is just not much real competition at ww for gsp. Bring in jake shields! (who he'd kill anyway) - sigh
