What’s up homie!
We meet yet again my friend.

While I agree with you on the Mir/Lesnar 1st fight, I just see Mir again pulling out a sub on Big Lesnar. Yeah he was giving Mir the Business and he is more experienced now and he’s been training. But there is no amount of traing for Lesnar to know or escape all the years of training and experience Franny has.

Frank knows Brock has improved but Mir is a crafty veteran who can slip on a sub without that green brock even knowing whats going on. Plus Frank has finally dedicated himself to training like a champion so he will be ready imo. Believe it or not their first fight I was rooting for Brock cause I didn’t like Frank’s attitude at all but only after what he said after the Big Nog fight I respect him now and pull for the guy.

Dont count Bisping out man, he is a beast he is no easy win, But I see how you say Dan can beat him though.

Franklyn/Wandy–Wanderlie even though he can wrestle he doesn’t Bjj doesn’t use it for some reason and when was the last time we even seen him use the clinch ?? He prefers to slang and bang Wandy weakness is straight punches, thats why he had such a hard time with chuck but One of Rich’s strength is that straight left, and as YOU yourself said he rarely backs away if Richy can let his hands go Night Night wandy…..Back to making more snow angels in the octagon.

Wakeupcall,
Okay if, if Thiago wins hey good job I did’nt disrespect him by saying GSP would Dominate him I’m simply stated what I believe and rightly so by GSP performances he would do.

GSP Boxing is very very very good. It is fair better than Thiago’s who is a one two puncher, Yes he has power but no where near the skill of GSP. Plan on GSP to give Alves the “John Fitch” treatment. Where he used his superior boxing and to DESTROY Fitch. Then when ready leg kicks, + GnP. Hey he might not KO Silva but you can Destroy someone without the KO…

GSP is a fair better fighter and has tooooo many tools,
Heres a wake up call for ya.
lets see how your boy thiago does in the 4th/5th round when GSP is still going full blast and Thiago is tired…..

Who’s favored, Lesnar or Mir?

Frak Mir can score a sub on Brock, but this time we won’t. Brock is a way diiferent fighter than he was in their first fight. He has better stand, better technique and most important, he has more experience and now knows what Frank Mir can do. Before he got caught with that leg lock, Brock was murdering Mir, Brock will take Mir down and pound tha crap out of him, but this time he knows better to not make the same rookie mistake he made in the first fight. If they both decide to stand up, Lesnar is faster more agile and has overall better movement than Mir, and oh yeah…has way more power. Mir is another guy that has to load up his punches to give them power, Lesnar can throw a punch with speed and power Mir can’t. Brock problably will not stop him in the first, but will for sure stop him that night.

Bisping can win by decision, but won’t. Although Henderson’s age is showing a bit, he’s still hasn’t looked like Liddell,Nog, or Couture. He still has punching power and a way better overall game than Bisping….Henderson just beat Franklin, Bisping will be no problem.

Frankiln will not ko, but problaly get ko’d by Wanderlei. Rich Franklin has lost some of his swagger,meaning that he;s not the same fighter like before. Against Dan Henderson he was too cautious, has he been more agresive he problably could have worn Henderson down because Franklin has great cardio and conditioning, but he didn;t. Wanderlei always comes in to beat his opponents down,even if sometimes he gets beat down, he still comes in determined which will make the differece in this fight. Wanderlei rarely backs away, he will get in Franklins face and mess him up,however if Franklin is game and also comes in agressive, he can score a ko, but the key for Franklin is simple, don’t think too much and bring it. This fight will end by knockout, but i;m giving the edge to Wanderlei.

Does Thiago have more powerful strikes – yes. That is why I see the only way he wins this fight is to catch GSP in a bad position when/if he makes a mistake. If GSP fights a perfect fight, Alves can’t win. He simply doesn’t have the tools to do so, imo. Alves only wins if he ‘catches’ GSP, and ko’s him, or ‘catches’ him and GSP loses as a result of that blow and gets subsequently pounded out on the ground. Frankly, I see this fight taking place wherever GSP takes it. He won’t be taken down, and if he is, he won’t be kept down…if guys like Evans and Marquardt can’t keep him down, who are much bigger than him with wrestling pedigrees, and furthermore he can get up from under them without cage walking…then I really don’t see Alves keeping him down. And if Hughes can take Alves down, then trust that GSP can too. GSP’s guard passing is much tighter and aggressive than Hughes’ as well, imo, so he will be able to do something with the takedown as well.

So yes, I respect Alves, and I would not call him a longshot even, as he is a serious dude, and anything could happen. In terms of sheer skill though, it doesn’t look great for Alves. If GSP does destroy Alves the way he’s been destroying all recent competition, then I really don’t see who beats GSP at present at WW…

Bisping? he knows his MMA, dont write him off so fast.

and regarding Mir vs Lesnar?
hmmm, Lesnar is a big motha… but Mir ain’t a pipsqueek either.

I think Mir has a chance, I’ll be rooting for him !!!
