Georges St-Pierre Punches BJ Penn at UFC 94
On a card dominated by uneventful decisions, UFC 94′s top two bouts delivered as Georges St-Pierre dominated BJ Penn on the ground en route to a fourth-round TKO victory while top light heavyweight contender Lyoto Machida used his awkward style to remain undefeated by scoring a first-round knockout of the previously unbeaten Thiago Silva.
A sell out crowd of 14,885 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, which generated a live gate of $4.3 million, erupted as St-Pierre and Penn made their entrances to the octagon for their historic main event matchup that is expected to shatter the current pay-per-view buy record held by UFC 66.
The first round saw both fighters exchange on the feet as GSP unsuccessfully worked to take Penn to the ground. Early in the second, however, St-Pierre succeeded in not only getting Penn to the canvas, but passing into side control and pounding away on Penn. After again dominating Penn on the ground in the third-round, St-Pierre poured it on in the fourth, pounding away with elbows and hammer fists that had Penn struggling to survive. Despite escaping the round, Penn’s corner had seen enough and, along with the advice of the doctor, referee Herb Dean called a stop to the contest, awarding the TKO victory to St-Pierre, who retained the UFC welterweight championship with the main event victory.
St-Pierre, who improved to 18-2 with the win, will next fight Thiago Alves, while Penn, who dropped to 13-5-1 with the loss, is likely to fight Kenny Florian next.
In the evening’s co-headliner, Lyoto Machida’s unorthodox style again proved difficult to counter as he dropped Thiago Silva twice early in the first round before putting him on the canvas with a trip takedown late in the frame. Machida pounced with only seconds remaining in the first, connecting with a perfectly-placed punch to the head that knocked Silva unconscious. A second punch sealed the knockout win as Machida delivered the impressive stoppage victory he needed to secure a likely title shot against current 205-pound title-holder Rashad Evans this summer.
Machida’s record now stands at 14-0, including six-straight wins in the UFC, while Silva’s first loss gives him a 13-1 career mark.
The two stoppage victories salvaged what was an otherwise forgettable night as the remaining eight fights all went to decision. On the main card, Jon Jones showed potential with a unanimous decision victory over Stephan Bonnar, Karo Parisyan topped Dong Hyun Kim via split decision, and Clay Guida handed Nate Diaz his first loss in the UFC with split scorecards in an entertaining opener.
Jon Fitch, Thiago Tavares, John Howard, Jake O’Brien, and Dan Cramer picked up decision victories on the UFC 94 preliminary card.
After the event, the UFC announced that Howard’s victory over Chris Wilson and Guida’s win against Diaz were the “Fights of the Night” and each of the four participants earned $65,000 “fight night” bonuses. Though deserving, the evening’s $65,000 “Knockout of the Night” award went to Machida by default, who scored the only knockout on the card with his late first-round stoppage of Silva. Because UFC 94 featured no submission stoppages, a “Submission of the Night” bonus was not awarded.

To all those who doubted lyoto machida i say HA!….machida vs rashad @ ufc 100 baby its gonna be awesome! machida rape destruction….GSP DESTROYED BJ
Man i hope that happens because i am definetaly getting UFC 100 and would love to see that fight. I dont care if people say Machida is boring. He is methodical and every part of his game is phenomanal, there is basically no holes in game. Great standup, great BJJ and Judo. I completely agree with you.
If we have to wait till 100 to see that, I’ll be very disappointed.
When I read a lot of “expert” predictions yesterday, I was frankly blown away by predictions of the two main fights. I wondered if I’d been watching the same fighters, or possibly had missed some secret that had gone public. Had someone actually laid a glove on Lyoto Machida? Had anyone since Matt Serra shown they had even a puncher’s chance in the Octagon with GSP?
Both answers, of course, were “No”.
I’m happy to say that I bombed on a lot of the bouts down the card (I’m still surprised Diaz couldn’t do more with Guida on the ground), but I feel pretty good about having called the final two bouts in advance.
Until someone lays a glove on Lyoto Machida, don’t tell me he’s not the best 205 lb fighter in the world (except when Anderson Silva is playing at it). The closest we’ve come to seeing the Dragon in peril in the Octagon was a half-hearted, last minute arm bar by Tito. The guy is a riddle, wrapped in an enigma that no one has had even a clue about, much less an answer for. He’s the last bastion of hope for folks who grew up watching the series Kung Fu… that rare mysterious master who stands in front of an opponent with his hands low, tags his opponent at will, yet cannot be touched himself. There is absolutely no reason (especially now that he had a higlight reel KO) that Lyoto shouldn’t be next in line for Rashad Evans at 205.
GSP. I’m biased, because he is my favorite fighter. What can I say, the talent, the athleticism, the class with which he carries himself… he’s the complete package. My pre-fight prediction was that I respect BJ’s ability, but that GSP would run through him like a freight train. That’s exactly what happened tonight. GSP was too big, too fast, too strong… too damn good. There was never any question for me once the fight went to the ground in the second round. There was just no way that BJ… no way that ANYONE at 170lbs… is getting GSP off of them once he’s taken them down. Good call by BJ’s corner to stop the fight… I think we all know what was coming in round 5. If I were a betting man (and I am), I’d bet that Baby James is regretting calling the Champ a quitter right about now.
– ZiG
Hey zig, Tito had machida in a triangle, and its baby jay.
yer but he moved from triangle to armbar thats where he lost it
Good comments… BJ is my favorite fighter but he needs to stay in the LW class. It would have been awesome if BJ had won but deep down in my heart, I knew it was a long shot.
I thought Silva might give Machida problems. When silva didnt come out swinging and working for a clench or take down though, I knew he was going to be dominated.
I think someone with sick takedowns and a good ground game might give Machida trouble. I hate to say Rashad MIGHT be that guy… I REALLY hate to say it. I dislike Rashad’s fighting style and I want him to lose about as much as I want anyone else to win. He is improving but he is still a boring fighter.
I would LOVE to be proven wrong by Machida, my words above would make a fine meal and I would eat them with a big smile.
Great fight by George tonight! Machida is incredible! Lots of battles on the card…8 decisions I think? Most were split..Good on Fitch to rebound from a devestating defeat!
GSP vs Alves in Germany or sooner?
I would love to see Silva vs GSP! A win for either would cement them as the true P4P king!
Jones looks like a good up and comer! He needs to get into better shape though…
in case anyone is wondering my new avatar from now on will be and will remain thiago silva laying ko’d on the ground until lyoto obtains the UFC LHW Belt which will be sometime this year!
WOW.Total dominance by GSP.
Karo got a gift and Diaz got robbed.
I used to like Karo but he has slipped.
Diaz has been unimpressive but I am optimistic for his future. He is still young.
I do think Karo won the fight but not by much.
I’ve never been one to say “I told you so,” so I won’t. However, I will point out (emphatically, even) some PRICELESS quotes from BJ Penn before this fight:
“Talk is cheap. This (clenches fist) is real”
“He’s going to quit.”
“George, don’t piss me off, George.”
“George, I’m coming to kill you and I’m not joking about this.”
“Hey, (GSP’s Trainer), once this is over, go into your room, take 30 minutes, lay on your bed and _______ yourself.”
“If John Fitch reminds him of the terminator, after this is over, I’m going to remind him of God.”
“I just want to be known as the best ever…is that too much to ask?”
Message to BJ – You never had a chance. The Fitch fight was a bigger, tougher test than your fight. Your corner threw in the towel AND the doctor stopped the fight. Never had a chance. Not once. Not even in the striking and ESPECIALLY not in the Jiu-Jitsu. Pathetic. I will forever laugh and enjoy the moment when the doctor asked you “Where are you?” and you couldn’t even answer him. Priceless. Go back to 155 where you stood a chance. I believe Fitch, Alves both could have finished you. You didn’t deserve to be there and you proved that by not even winning one minute of one round. Wait, my bad; you gave it your all, right? Good. Then all doubt is removed.
well put i like both fighters but Bj talks to cameras too much, too disrespectful. Gsp is a true champ and always will be very respectful , (realy bad accent though) LOL. He’s a monster at 170 it looked like a middlewieght fighting a lightwieght, how could Bj (or his fans) even think he could win.
GSP showed a lot tonight, Alves didn’t look too keen on that fight.
Jones is better than I thought. I knew he was good, but not that good.
Nicely done by Machida, time for him to get a shot at that belt.
I agree that Karo got a gift.
Guida earned that decision, should have been unanimous. Really glad Diaz lost.
Disappointed that so many fights went the distance I was hoping to see some of the prelims.
Guida earned the decision?HOW?If you think holding on to your opponent and doing no damage is mma,then possibly.Diaz was picking him apart in the stand up,was going for the kimura non stop in the clinch,and tripped guida down several times when he was just holding him.Again,Diaz got robbed.
To say Diaz got robbed is a joke. I scored this fight 30-27 Guida and it should have been unanimous, not split. “Holding your opponent down” = superior wrestling, which is an integral part of the sport. He may not have done much damage but he was aggressive, persistent, and was able to grind out a win and for that he deserves credit. Just because Diaz’s defense prevented Guida from finishing does not mean Diaz deserves the win. Trip takedowns mean nothing when they just gave Guida the dominant position.
That’s pretty much what I would have said, Kris.
when i look at this fight of diaz and guida it reminds me of bisping vs hammil
in this case guida won it…
i do not feel that guida won it 30-27… holding on to an opponent and not doing much else does not earn your win… diaz got out of it only to have the hugger hug some more…
but guida won, and while he likes to be an exciting fighter he needs to do a lil more than throw punches and hug…
diaz… i like the guy, hes cauky, hes confident and hes a tough kid… he will only get better…
Playing defense the whole fight doesn’t get you a win either. The only way “defense” can get you a win if if you consider working for submissions off your back defense. I don’t I consider that offense, and to be honest, Diaz put up very little of it. The only real sub attempts he had were the Kimoras he tried to use with foot sweeps, which never had Guida in danger, and never altered the position. The only time Diaz was able to reverse Guida was when he grabbed on to the padding in the corner to allow him to pull of the switch, which was immediately followed by Guida getting back into dominant position.
I agree with you on everything you said – especially Diaz. He’s such a ding dong. What an unprofessional jerk. His pre and post fight antics are disgraceful and he doesn’t even deserve the recognition he gets in post fight comments – from now on I shall refer to him as “The Ding Dong Dude”…
first off…to alllll the people who said, bj is gonna knock out gsp. that canadian isnt gonna do a damn thing, bj is gonna dominate gsp. well…look what happened. hahahaha bj has a lot of words to swallow now. I think there isnt a doubt now that GSP is easily one of the top 5 p4p fighters in the world.
haha but…i feel sorry for kenny florian cuz we all know bj is probably gonna be crazy in his next fight.
props to thiago alves for treating gsp with real respect. he is going to be a big test for st pierre but i think GSP will yet again, win.
and last but not least….i think Machida might be immortal or something. too bad him and silva are good friends and wont fight eachother, cuz that would be an AMAZING fight.
hahahha and diaz didnt get robbed. Guida won…barely…but that wasnt controversial at all in my opinion.
i hope Penn will return with the intensity he showed against Sherk. Hopefully this loss wont mess with his head too much
Ha Ha Ha,see above.
Hey Kris,you need to watch the fight again.and I didn’t say Guida doesn’t deserve credit for what he did-he just didn’t do enough to win.
Guida really didn’t do anything special and was nowhere near finishing Diaz, but he was the better fighter tonight and did more to deserve the win than Diaz did in my opinion.
Diaz looked bad last night. He was backing up and getting PLANTED. That’s a loss every day unless you submit the other guy.
Machida does not deserve a title shot imo……
this was the 1st legit challenger he has faced and defeated in the ufc…
i think he should fight one more contender @least before fighting for the title….
gsp once again proved that nobody is anywhere near his level…he is a beast…i wasn’t rooting for any of the 2…but i must say that gsp won me over tonight….tht foo is dangerous…thiago is gng to get destroyed…
yeah make him fight wanderlei next. if machida can beat the axe man then props to him… i dont think he deserves a title shot yet
So what exactly, beyond 14-0, does he need really? He has a better record than Silva at the same point in his career (12-2), against anyone who has been put in front of him. Give him a title shot. Find out the real way if he’s legit. Putting him up against a guy who just got whooped hardcore proves nothing to me.
I’m torn as usual. Glad GSP got the win however, didn’t want to see BJ get destroyed.
@Gun How long have we been telling people and defending Lyoto??? Guess we’ll see what kind of BS they talk now! I’m sure there will be something. Lyoto is the master, “period”. I’d love to see him destroy Rashad…knock that damn chip off his shoulder and bring him down a notch or two.
excerpt from a BJ Penn fan:
Why did BJ Penn fall?
The psuedo answer: his preparation. There is an intellectual answer: he moved up a weight class and found his tools to be outmatched. There is also a moral answer: self-rightiousness. The rationalist answer: his otherworldliness has clear boundaries, which exist in a subordinate weight class. The political answer: his opponent is a far superior embassador of the sport. The economic answer: the simultaneous defense of multiple titles will create an unnecessary lag for the true #1 contenders in the lightweight and welterweight divisions alike. The physical answer: Georges St. Pierre, despite any one particular and/or decorated discipline, is a far more advanced competitor. The philosophical answer: a certain stock or pride took over; what would happen in the fourth round would be too shameful. The critical answer: He was in a land of men and boys and he quite simply was out-manned. The biological-cyclical-mystical answer: pure karma. I wish it wasn’t so. But it clearly be.
Well said.
Looking forward to seeing Florian vs. Penn, should be an interesting match.
I think a Machida vs. Liddell match and victory should grant Lyoto a shot at the Belt.
One of the beauties of UFC and MMA in general is that (unlike Boxing) there is a huge
number of potential competitors, and GSP will have his hands full for a long time in
order to stay the Title Holder. Is he the best Pound for Pound MMA fighter in the world?
Only time will tell…
[deleted, fighter bashing]
And the Loyoto Machida fight, WOW was I wrong about Machida. He is not Boreing at all. He won My repect as a seriously gifted fighter. Before he has not showed such skill against someone with enough tallent exept for Tito. And with all do respect Tito almost finished Machida with that triangle/arm bar. And Machida looked alot worse aginst tito. Machida definitly has a great style to his talent.
Also Guida is the man. I knew he would grind out a victory. Diaz was not able to work his game plan like i expected.
If fitch is not on the main card again i will be pissed. Fitch should be fighting on the main card not bonner.
Damn I loved that Main event. GSP should be a role model for alot of children and even adults. His respect and work ethic is world class. He is one of my role models and has been since his destruction of Frank Trig. He also started training part time here in Albuquerque,NM where i am from.
[deleted, fighter bashing]
DIAZ GOT ROBBED!! and lousy refereeing!! When u can hug somebody for over 4 mins in one round without attempting anything..BREAK THE FIGHTERS UP!! That pissed me off so bad. It obviously put the clock against Nate and made it to where there wasnt enough time left in the rounds to do anything(and Nate was) when a guy is holding on to you for dear life. I thought it was Ultimate FIGHTING not Ultimate HUGGING and Nate clearly came to fight. I would love to have the judges explain to me step by step how they came to their conclusions or delusions! Nate dominated the stand up, constantly went for submissions and successfully defended the one or two Guida attempted(which never had a chance) and even with Guida holding onto his back the entire fight Diaz was still the one who had octagon control. Guida did nothing that was threatening to Nate. It goes down on paper as a loss for Nate but I know what I saw & how I feel about that decision. Way to bring it Nate! A win in my mind. Its just a minor setback. See ya at the top…
Here’s how I scored it 30-27 Guida.
Round 1, Nate backed up, did nothing, lost 10-9.
Round 2, Guida moved forward, took Nate down, Nate couldn’t escape or throw together anything offensive, lost 10-9.
Round 3, see round 2.
It’s called wrestling and is generally considered a big part of MMA. Look into it sometime. The real stuff isn’t much like the WWE, sorry to shatter your illusions.
Hugging is not wrestling,let alone mma.
Exactly,couldn’t have said it better myself.
Exactly what ‘MMAster T’ said that is.
Josh V said it all. Bj humiliated himself with all his trash talk. Now he should drag his tail back to hilo, lay down in bed, put an ice pack on his fat swollen head for 20-30 minutes, think about it and use his outstanding flexability…an go f..k himself
go ahead and youtube lyoto and watch is fights before the ufc is resume topples and 205 pounder right now in the UFC…Yeah I definately said it I look for him to destroy Evans the only one I see giving Lyoto a problem right now is Lyoto if he doesn’t show up but his resume is impresive
The trash talk is just part of the hype, its the WWE element that gets fan’s adrenaline pumping.
Im sure GSP ignored all the BJ trash talk and just focused on the task at hand. I have a ton of respect for GSP, before and after fights hes gracious and professional.
Without a doubt Silva, Emelianenko and himself are IMO the top 3 champions in the sport.
I put him either 1 or 2 on my p4p list right now. Silva earns the other spot. Fedor is a solid 3 or 4. Hard to decide between him and Miguel Torres.
Very disappointing waited until 3 in the morning thought this one had the potential to be better than UFC 92. Penn V GSP was actually painful to watch( big Penn fan) but hats off to GSP who is a model professional.
Cant believe Penn didnt work on his cardio after all that talk.
But on looking at lot of forums today there is a lot of BJ bashing
im seeing stuff like blow job, Fat head and there the least offensive this is complete BS from people that have probably never had a sparring session never mind stepping in a ring or an octagon – I thought bashing wasnt allowed?. I know BJ has the tendency to run his moutha a bit but thats to bring interest to the fight-in my opinion!
One can doubt BJ’s preparation and cardio but not his heart – he will fight anyone anytime..proof of the fact is he came looking for this fight, went up a weight, this loss just might make him finally realise that he has got to look at a whole new training regieme – even a new camp.
Another suggestion being cited is GSP the BEST P4P figher ever. Maybe but in my opinion to cement this(if he beats Alves) he needs to do what bj done challenge the champion at the next weight – GSP walks around at 185-190 so this should not too difficult. Lets see if GSP who has being fighting in his comfort zone can rise to the ultimate challenge which can leave no questions unanswered….
Personally I think GSP V Silva would be a dream fight.
On the other fights Machida is just GREAT – he will take some stopping
Thought Karo was lucky and Guida was worthy of a win. Diaz is definetly a future prospect.

If you see it, click the report link to bring it to Kris’s attention. He’s pretty good, and pretty fair, about making a decision of what to do. Sometimes the whole comment gets moderated, sometimes just part.
Although i’m a GSP fan,i’m also a fan of BJ and hate to see all the bashing too.most of what BJ said was just to hype the fight.also,did you check the comments on the guida fight at those forums?Ha Ha
About the bashing, that stuff gets moderated here, some of the other sites not so much. Like dbiz said, if you see it here, hit the report button.
loyoto machida vs anderson silva
dan henderson vs randy couture
shane carwin vs brock lesnar
cain velasquez vs gabriel gonzaga
hell of a card forming here dana!
I don’t think your card is very likely
Fight 1: Two friends that train together, Silva won’t fight for the belt at 205 now because he wants Machida to have it.
Fight 2: A MW against an HW…and the MW is doing TUF which means it will be six months till he fights again, and then he will be fighting Bisping, followed by 3-4 months off…
Fight 3: Brock is fighting Mir in May, if he wins, I’m thinking he could be facing the winner of GG v. Carwin…so this one has potential…maybe.
Fight 4: See above, if GG loses, to Carwin, he could be put in as a potential stepping stone for Velasquez… but Velasquez has to win his next fight first.
Finally, Machida is the only one out of any of this that has anything to do with the topic of the articles…. so where did this come from? Not saying I wouldn’t mind seeing those fights, though.
the best fights are ones where fighters strenghts are put to the true test. pitting them up against similar competition is the best way to see how good a fighter really is. therfore here are two more matches for free:
shinya aoki vs bj penn
josh koscheck vs jon fitch- yes i already know they train together, but that doesnt mean they cannot square off
Aoki v. BJ: Aoki apparently has something against the UFC, so that would take BJ leaving, which I don’t think will happen…but I would love to see the fight.
Kos v. Fitch: well, you shot yourself down, basically.
this one is probably where i stop getting taken seriously. you want ppv numbers and a packed house.
CHUCK LIDDEL VS KIMBO SLICE
kimbo talked trash about liddel. lets see if he can back it up
cmon dana. one fight deal, and one sweet liddel ko.
All the knocks, and comments that bj is getting are well deserved, maybe next time he will have a little more respect for people that he climbs in the ring with. He did not at all carry himself like a true champion should. I cant wait for his first interview.
whatever,
I agree BJ is sometimes disrespectful to his opponents but as he said after the sherk fight it is to hype up the fight – get as many people interested as possible – im sure Dana is laughing all the way the bank!!
I am still wondering what people think on my two main points:
Dose BJ need a new training camp, regieme etc. Its obvious that he is surrounded by a bunch of Yes men or people that dont know what they are doing.
GSP needs to move up in weight and challenge the middleweight title holder to know he is the best. The fight could even take place at a catchweight – no belts on the line just the best P4P fighter on the planet confirmation – which is worth ten belts. Take the chance to fight a bigger man and leave no one in any doubt. In my opinion he will sit where he is. It will take a challenege from A Silva or a push from the UFC to make this happen
BJ will go back down to 155 and be just fine., I think.
I didn’t read any of the comments above, soo that being said..
I think Machida is tired of people talking shhhhit that he is a boring fighter, he whooped Thiago’s assss and ended him didn’t go to decision (which is odd for his fights) if he fights like that he just maybe the next LHW champ…
Jon Jones good job Bonnar did look rusty but Jones was attempting everything he could think of…
Guida just wore down Diaz I believe that Guida is on the thin line of a fighter just working for the decision than attempting to win, there was a huge difference between the fight v Danzig and this fight.. Diaz imo is better than he showed last night hell they both are but Guida is a machine and won’t stop coming at you, perhaps I was expecting more from both??
BJ Penn got handled by GSP no question about it… He needs to go back down to 155 he cannot handle the weight of 170 anymore (atleast against GSP) I really thought BJ could win but clearly I was mistaken and the crow I’m about to eat doesn’t look bueno…. GSP (and his game plan) were spot on, no two ways about it…. I believe Alves didn’t look like he wanted any of GSP, but he does have the potential to ko St. Peirre but I will take GSP in that fight… He looked great against Penn bottom line..
Like I believed this card had 80% decisions and that happens I enjoyed the PPV and I can’t wait for more cheers to all…..
I thought BJ could win, and I picked him to win, but clearly I was wrong. I don’t have a problem with that, however, because I like GSP and am just as happy to see him win as I would have been had it gone the other way. I’m not happy to have seen BJ get completely handled, but it is what it is.
I think Alves has the opportunity to KO GSP, as we’ve seen that he can be KOed, but I don’t think that will happen. I think that fight will look similar to this last fight, only minus the takedown defense BJ showed in the first round, and add ending sooner. And, as I already stated, Alves does not seem to be looking forward to that fight.
Anto
I’m all up for hyping the fights obviously it makes for more drama, but I think it could have been done more tastfully, when penn was saying the things he was just put way more presure on himself and losing some credibility…imo. Bj Penn is a champion, he should act like it.
agreed hopefully he will learn his lesson!
gsp dominated penn!!!!!!!!!! machida the next light heavyweight champion and thiago alves the next victim for gsp
It’s funny that all you guys are saying that GSP should have too fight Anderson to be in your eyes the best p4p in the world, but what you are failing to realize is Spider normally walks around at 215 pounds and GSP walks around at 190 at most. What in your eyes would be a fare weight to fight at? GSP to me doesn’t need to prove anything else he just dismantled one of the best p4p guys in the world [so people say about Bj]. I like [the pitbull Alves] but i want GSP to smash him just to shut some mouths. Give St. Pierre some damn credit HATER$!!!!!!
im sorry i watched the diaz fight again im scoring it 28-29,29-28,29-28 Diaz…. guida should have threw more punch’s and he might have got the second rd… but diaz got that third Kris!….he got robbed guida needs to work on his striking rather then his huging!….
Sorry I agree with Kris. Also Guida was not “Hugging” Diaz, its called grappling, and when you have a good wrestler against a good BJJ stylist, you’re going to have stalemates that might resemble hugging…if hugging didn’t involve slamming people to the ground, trying to choke them, and kneeing them in the leg while trying to not get put in a kimora. Alos, don’t you think that we would have heard Diaz running his mouth if he really disagreed with the decision?
I could score the third for Diaz, it was really close imo, but I’d still score the fight for Guida 29-28 even with changing that round. I think the judges got this one right, but as they always say don’t leave it up to the judges. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone outright robbed of a fight they should have won as a loss is simply a risk you take if you’re unable to finish your opponent.
Ha Ha HA,did you watch the fight again?Cause those comments seem alot like rhetoric.
Why watch it again? I saw Diaz do NOTHING. Ok, he threw half-triangles which didn’t come close to catching and a few pseudo-kimuras that didn’t even change who was in control of position at the moment. That ain’t winning a fight.
I, however, saw Guida take him down at will, hold him against the cage at will, and slam him….at will. It isn’t rhetoric, it’s history now. Diaz got handled for over 2/3 of the fight. That’s a loss if it goes the distance.
you are crazy if u think diaz won that fight guida controlled that entire fight!!!!!!!!!
TEST comment
did anyone hear thiago silva say he wanted a shitle tot!!!! hahahahahahaha
Turk
First of all no one is hating on GSP, read the post.
Ill give credit to GSP he is the best welterweight, possibly ever but until he does what BJ did and challenege above his comfort zone to as you say “shut some mouths” than he will never be P4P king.
Just my opinion but seenms a commom one across all the forums – its the fight people now want to see- and I would deem a catch weight a fair weight. Funny BJ wasnt complaining about a reach, height and weight disadvantage.
There must of been something in the air tonight for eight fights to go to a decision.
Ooo couldn’t have had more fun watching BJ gets pounced on for four rounds. BJ humilated himself more than GSP humilated him. I know its all hype BS, but the statement about BJ being god was incredibly stupid. I was predicting GSP KOing BJ before the fight, but i’m happier with BJ throwing in the towel.
Didn’t like how the Lyoto fight ended, the first punch definitely stunned Silva, but the follow up punch was after the bell. They should of given Silva a five minute rest as they do when there is a low blow or knee to the head when a fighters knee is on the ground. But anyways Lyoto definitly dominated the whole fight. I dont know why people are saying he going to walk through Evans. Evans is a master of getting fighters out of their gameplan and i think Evans could definitly get Lyoto to come to him instead of making Lyoto backing up and countering the whole time, and i wouldn’t be surprised if Evans taunts him the entire fight.
b free- the first punch ko’d thiago instintly and the second landed at the same time as the bell…therefore machida wins b KO (punch) 4:59…IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOUR MAKING EXCUSES FOR THIAGO..ARE U A THIAGO FAN OR JUST A LYOTO HATER LOL JK BUT REALLY THE PUNCHS WHERE COMPLETELY LEGAL
haha im a thiago fan, but im glad to see Lyoto was more active than his tito fight, should be a fun fight to watch between Evans and Lyoto
Vaseline or no vaseline … it still looked like a man beating a 3 year old.
I wanna see anderson silvia vs gsp for middle weight title!
WHAT……….DID…..I………SAY???????? I’VE BEEN SAYING FOR MONTHS THAT GSP WAS GOING TO MAKE BJ PEN HISS BITTTCH!!!
Good call. Your GSP showed, my Penn did not. Now he has Alves to tangle with, gonna pick Thiago.
silva was KO’d from the first punch which disqualifies lyoto so
silva should face rashad.
rashad vs lyoto is an awesome fight. among other things – they have IMO the best MMA footwork at 205
“silva(sic) was KO’d from the first punch which disqualifies lyoto(sic) so silva(sic) should face rashad(sic).”
What?
LOL
Ah.. for how long I’ve been saying Machida is the next big thing and the know-nothing-newbs just say oh he runs away.. blah blah.. he’s 1337. Your boy’s beat. Prepare for the next champ.
