Georges St-Pierre vs. Thiago Alves Slated for UFC 100
Georges St-Pierre
UFC 100 is expected to be the biggest show in the history of the UFC and rumors have already started to swirl about the event and what the UFC will offer fans. UFC President Dana White confirmed during a recent radio show appearance in Canada that the event will feature a title bout between welterweight title-holder Georges St-Pierre and American Top Team number-one contender Thiago Alves.
Both of these fighters have had their share of controversy over the past twelve months. GSP was a target of fellow fighters, fans, and the media after his now-controversial victory over BJ Penn, which resulted in what we now know as “grease gate”. Alves’ controversy resulted from his inability to make weight for a June 2008 fight with Matt Hughes. “The Pitbull” also found himself in some hot water regarding banned dietetics, but that is a buried issue at this point in time.
UFC 100 is sure to be an amazing night of MMA. We know of one title fight to take place, but others are likely to follow. Rumors indicate that TUF coaches Michael Bisping and Dan Henderson will meet on the card and Rashad Evans is expected to put the light heavyweight belt on the line against Quinton “Rampage” Jackson or Lyoto Machida. We have several months before the event and the UFC is sure to throw together an amazing night that will attract a record number of fans for the historic 100th event. One thing I would like to see at the event is the induction of some additional fighters into the UFC Hall of Fame.
MMAFrenzy.com will share additional rumors and news on UFC 100 as it becomes available.

if rampage gets a title shot before machida, dana is clearly playing favourites… I’m not worried though, I pretty much agree with everything Dana says and does, so I’m confident he’ll get this one right.
It would be a huge over sight to let Rampage get a title shot after Machida has proven he is the real number one contender. But UFC 100 should be a great card.
The only way that Quinton will get a shot before Machida is if he beats Jardine. I wont complain either way and if Jackson wins I believe he deserves the shot over Machida anyway because he has beaten Wandy and if he wins this fight he would have beaten a guy who has also beaten Chuck and Forrest like Rashad has.
The only person Rashad should fight for this event is the Spider!!!!
i see this fight being another easy one for gsp!!!!
Kinda surprised that this is the first fight announced for this card, but then again not so much. Definitely looking forward to the fight, should be a good one. I do hope they don’t put all the belts on the line for this card.
I also expected it to be a bit longer before we started hearing rumors for this card.
The rob,
Dana has already said that it is up to Rampage to determine the next challenger for Rashad, if Rampage beats Jardine he gets the nod. If not, it will be Machida. Bear in mind that Rampage lost the belt in a close decision, and then destroyed Wanderlei in his last fight. In fact, rather than Rampage fighting Jardine in March e would have been facing Rashad then, but Rashad wanted more time off to heal up from the Forrest fight. I dot really see it as playing favorites if Rampage wins an gets the next shot, thoguh I do see where you’re coming from.
This is really no big suprise that GSP is rumored that he will defend his title on 100… It just makes sense, he is one of the biggest draws rightnow for PPV buys and such..
Evans needs time to heal? or is it that he wants to have Jardine to “study” Rampage’s style, hey it worked for him learning from Jardine for the Liddell fight. I think that instead of Jardine it should be Evans in there for the title, I cant remember of the specific reason/injury/whatever is the reason that Evans couldnt go against Rampage in March..
I think having two titles up for grabs is a good idea forsure, hopefully Wanderlei’s debut @ 185 will be on the same card if at all possible.. This should be a really good card just on the idea of putting two titles on…
I just cant wait til they confirm the card, I dont believe that there will be more than two titles up for grabs but the card should be from top to bottom, just simply sick
Big homie AKA {stat’s}
Long time no talk to dawg.
But boy it’s like you read my mind!!!
Especially the Rashad studying Rampage deal.
Because that is exactly what they are doing.
Great Idea but still that’s what they are doing.
What’s up man long time no talk forsure, sorry I don’t have the stats today just opionions haha
Although they both deserfve a shot, i think machida should get first crack @ rashad. Especially now that rampage is fighting jardine. Who does machida get if rampage wins, and when will his next fight be if rampage beats jardine and then fights evans?
Alves is going to bring out the best in GSP. Especially now that we’ve seen that he has good take down defense. This is going to be a great fight and my boy GSP better be ready because if anyone’s going to ko gsp, and/or take his title, it’s going to be alves. That dude is tough.
I have been waiting far too long for joe silva to match bisping up with a good or great fighter. Bisping is the most overrated dude in the UFC and imo hasn’t beaten any top fighter to think he’s the $hit. My boy Hendo is going to knock his ass out. I can’t wait!
I agree that it will be a great measuring stick seeing how he does against Hendo… I personally believe that Hendo will win against Bis but none the less if its not even close then Bis was primarly hype, I mean he is a good fighter but imo nowhere near the top of the MW division…
Feels great to have GSP vs Alves confirmed, going to be a great match up, Thiago is easily closest to GSP at the minute but to be honest I can not see anyone beating him at present, I would like to see him fight Jay Hieron if possible in next year or so, Hieron is well rounded and much improved since last fighting Georges. In responce to justins statement your right on about the title situation because if all four titles were fought for and the holders got into deep water or got hurt that would be atleast two following cards without any defences. GSP and Alves, great match up, Bisping and Hollywood Hendo another great fight, Sugar vs Rampage/Machida either or would be great, all great match ups but could the headline UFC 100? I dont think so, they only match up that could possibly headline is Couture vs Nogueria, will Randy be ready and free from injury by then because Noguerias medical suspension will have been and gone. Any other main event suggestions amigos?
It makes no sense to give rampage a shot over Machida, whether he beats jardine or not (which he should, quite easily and quickly). I agree with kok (heh), who would machida fight if rampage gets rashaad. You can’t give him that much time off between fights… Franklin? or Forrest maybe? I’d feel bad for both franklin and Forrest if that happened. Although maybe Franklin has always wanted a rematch … Machida did, afterall, spoil his perfect record…
GSP has found a winning formula and has shown how good he is at executing it in his last few fights.
I think this one will be no different, he has to get Alves down quick and Georges should be able to finish this guy. Alves is one of the weaker ground guys GSP has faced in a while and will be out of his comfort zone on his back.
Thiago showed against Kos that he has not only fantastic take down defense but was calm and comfortable when on the ground. That was against Josh Koscheck the very highly decorated wrestler may I remind you so Thiago should be fine on the mat, but then again Georges is a different animal at the minute and is ubber intense and in my opinion top of the pound for pound ladder
Kos may be a highly decorated wrestler but don’t you remember GSP completely outclassing him in the wrestling department? GSP has become the best wrestler in MMA
Thiago showed against Kos that he has not only fantastic take down defense but was calm and comfortable when on the ground. That was against Josh Koscheck the very highly decorated wrestler may I remind you so Thiago should be fine on the mat, but then again Georges is a different animal at the minute and is ubber intense and in my opinion top of the pound for pound ladder. Ive read on numerous other MMA bulletin boards however that a lot of people think that GSP could be in danger of being ‘Matt Serra’d’ from The Pitbull
I don’t think it’s possible for GSP to be Serra-ed by Alves, part if being of the Serra effect is that the guy doesn’t belong in the cage with the champ. Alves belongs there against GSP and people actually expect him to have a legit chance. Everyone thought Serra didn’t belong and no one thought he had a chance.
there is great possibilities for this card should be real awesome some fights id like to see are…
gsp vs alvez(sick fight)
rashad vs rampage/machida(either one ill be excited to see….rashad wins if its rampage imo but lyoto owns rashad if rampage loses)
Wanderlai @ 185 would be awesome i say make it any of these guys and it would be great…wandy vs quarry,leben,belcher…but what i would love to see being a sandman fan as you all probably know is james irvin vs wanderlai but i dont see that happening because its to dangerous for wandy…i expect wandi vs someone very tomato can like(if wandi is on the card)
Bisping vs hendo on this card would be sick i believe
I think it would be awesome if the ufc just decided to show the fans some respect and show the whole card on ppv
I believe this card is gonna be stacked even on the undercard- I say put some great fighters there too and just show the undercard after the main card on ppv would just be unbelievable…though it would cost the ufc alot of money…..
I say the winner of shane carwin/gonzaga vs the winner of cheick kongo/antoni hardonk wold be a sick fight to put on also
but theres so many possibilities to this card i could go on forever……This card is gonna be sick I cant wait!
also for funnys i say chris brown vs rihanna 2 @ ufc 100 lol to early or no!
P.S. I love you FR And i am sorry…I love you like eddie bravo loves pot, I love you like joe rogan loves the rubber guard, I love you like KOuch Loved midgets….FR Please Forgive ME!
Side note- Gunslinger Is not a homo…Compare Gunslingers P.S. comment above to a John polakowski Hug Fest!
Dont you think it needs a main main main event gun? Even thought GSP, Rampage and Rashad are the muts nuts after their last few fights wont the UFC and Joe Silva be looking for a spectacle to headline a spectacle? Like I said all it could be is . . . . . . UFC century Couture vs Nogueira
couture vs nog would be good but i dont see it happening there that would be a mean fight though and yes ufc 100 does need to be a main main main event its the ufc’s 100th show- think of the possibilities:
Rashad vs Quinton Jackson/Lyoto Machida For The Light Heavywight Title
Gsp vs Thiago alves for the Welter Weight Title
Minatauro Nogueria vs Randy Couture
Michael Bisping Vs Dan Henderson(#1 Contender Fight) or (winner faces winner of Sonnen/Maia for #1 Contender fight against Anderson silva at a later date)
Carwin/Gonzaga vs Kongo/Hardonk (winner Fights winner of Lesner/Mir 2 for the HW title at a later date)
Wanderlai/Quarry,Leben,Belcher,Kang,Irvin
Maynard/miller vs Clay Guida
Kos(if he beats paulo thiago) vs winner of Kampmann/Condit
Liddell/shogun vs MAchida(if rampage wins)
Tito Ortiz vs Forrest Griffin 2(very unlikly 99.99% unlikly im just saying because tito ortiz challenged rashad evans and forrest at the recent ryan shecklar charity mma event….he said” Ive drawn/beaten both of them and they were/are the lhw champs, I think i could still take both of them”…P.S. no You couldnt tito!
These are just some wish list/potential fights, there is endless potential to this card
haha thx Gun, good looking out.
The only way Alves wins is if GSP gets caught with a shot.
cool i expect GSP to win but if alves keeps it standing i think he might have a shot.
————————————————————————
well im back from wrestling tournament!
i got 1st. even though the i lost a match but the was my first match of the three then he left so i automatically win!!
You got 1st at regionals? Nice…I’m going to state, gonna be fun
no it was just a normal tournament.
my districts are in 2 weeks. hopfully it will be my third time to qualify for state. last time i got screwed on my second match by my ref then i ended up losing my next match by 2 points by the guy who got ended up third , but thats just how it goes i got matched up with the top guys
i expect them to make a great card since 100.
i would really love to see maynard vs guida
and KENFLO vs bj penn
and diego sanchez vs another top LW guy
Thank you nightmare Im glad someone else loves the potential a matchup between maynard and guida also…as long as grey can avoid a submission in his next fight against jim miller i think it could happen
UFC 100 (some would say UFC 135 or some shhh like that) should be huge, and trust that Dana and co will make sure that it goes over the top.. I highly doubt that they will show all the fights and make it a 3 or 4 hour ppv (tho I wish they would) just simply because of the time rented through the ppv provider, and if ZUFFA and the provider will do a one off contract for that slot then perhaps it will happen but I doubt it.
If the UFC does two title fights, then Hendo v Bisbing, Wanderlei’s debut @ 185, one could assume Liddell fighting (if he beats Rua) and then perhaps Couture v Big Nog, there in lys a great main card.. But I also would like to see some LW’s fighting and such but damnit this has to be huge, I just think that ZUFFA will put Liddell if he is victorious on the UFC 100 card, hell then after that fight he could take quite awhile off til perhaps the NYE card you never just my opionion
i think it would be rough if there were injuries but i think 3 titles would be cool,
gsp vs alves
bj penn vs kenflo
rashad vs rampage/machida (if rampage wins i still think machida should fight then rampage should fight the winner, maybe a real number 1 contender before that)
either or its gonna be sick. maybe kenflo and penn will be on 99?
Yeah,those 3 title fights are highly likely for the century card no doubt.
How about signing Fedor to a one fight deal to fight Couture as a headliner?
would love to see but don’t see that happening.
Do you truly want to see Fedor v Couture? I mean after Couture wasted like a year and half of all our lives, saying o it will be in Affliction, got Mark Cuban to back him financially for the lawsuits that ZUFFA brought forth… I mean I really am a fan of Couture’s but hell the man wasted his time in the cage and our hopes of actually seeing him fight the great Fedor, I still havent let that all go, the rumors the “its gonna happen”, after the Affliction 1 saying ya its going to happen.. Whatever im more concerned about watching Randy v Big Nog (a fight that can actually happen) for another shot at the champ (once one is decided)… Sure if Fedor better yet his handlers allow him to fight in the UFC then please start the Randy v Fedor talk but I truly doubt it will ever happen, and Dana has recently stated that if Fedor were to sign with UFC then he would get an immediate title shot (when asked who Fedor would face, Dana said our #1 guy) perhaps it will happen i dunno but he is running out of opponents in Affliction and Affliction is running out of money F~WAMMA
I wouldn’t be against seeing it.The reason I mentioned it was because I saw a new vid clip on mmaweekly of Randy talking about fighting Fedor.
I understand that, I think I saw the same clip.. It just bothers me a little about the drama of Couture going out to fight Fedor, and wasting all that time and putting us (fans) in a situation that we still find ourselves in today, hell the HW title still isnt unified, kinda the same situation that he pulled off years ago when he didnt want to defend his HW title against Pete Williams (I believe) and they had to have a four man tourney to get a champion… Dont get me wrong I enjoy Couture and his great carrer but damn, its like a soap opera brought only by Randy… O well if Randy and Fedor actually happen I will gladly watch the match, but, you fool me once….. ya know
Ha Ha,yeah,I hear ya.But I don’t think Randy is the reason this fight hasn’t happened.
Randy may not be the reason the fight hasn’t happened…but then again maybe he is. Think about it, if he hadn’t gone on that year long hiatus over the contract dispute, he probably could have fought out his contract and gone to Affliction by now if that’s what he REALLY wanted. Sure, you can’t place all the blame on him, but you can place some. And, I definitely see FR’s frustration over Randy taking off and not fighting because some stupid Hollywood agent didn’t think he was getting a big enough cut, so he told Randy he wasn’t making enough money.
Supposedly,the time Randy was out was because he was trying to get out of his contract,then he could go to Affliction and fight Fedor, but the UFC had his hands tied.He then realized that the path of least resistance was to come back to the UFC and try to bring Fedor here.
Do you think Thiago will be more concerned about GSP’s takedowns, or about trying to land that one BIG SHOT, just a question to get away from Randy and the fact that he could be a free agent by now and we wouldnt have had to go through this for over a year… And perhaps if he would finished out his original contract we could be seeing Fedor v Couture @ Affliction III but hey that card probably wont happen either..
I don’t think there’s anything that Alves can do to stop GSP’ takedowns.He did a good job defending against Kos,but look what GSP did to KOS.And Fitch.And Sherk.And Penn.His only chance is to land one of his power shots to the button.
And that’s the thing that we all know that Thiago has power, and quite possibly is the hardest pure puncher that GSP has face, plus with the kicks it should be interesting to say the least..
Serra caught GSP, will it be considered just getting caught with Thiago’s pure power? I mean hell GSP is totally the fav and Thiago has a up hill battle to even try to convince people he can take out the champ, but the things he does have is hand speed/power, flying knees and such… Hopefully he can make weight too
Marcus Davis vs. W Silva – That might be an exciting matchup
Forrest Griffin vs Rich Franklin
Marcus Davis is a Welterweight, Wanderlei is planning to drop that far down, and I don’t see Davis coming up to 185 any time soon. I also think Wanderlei would probably make quick work of Davis, but I could be wrong.
Wanderlei wouldnt be able to cut down to 170 NO WAY, and I think Davis coming up to MW wouldnt work out too well for him if he were to fight Wanderlei… Now if that was slightly a blanket statement (clearly it wasnt due to the specific name given) but to say that a strong boxer in the MW division would be a good test for Wanderlei I could go for that, but with Wand’s power and fighting guys his size do you really want to stand in front of him? I mean Leben would and that would be some added “punishment” fro testing positive and we all know that he will stand infront of Silva but we shall see
Griffin v Franklin well that is a good idea, but with the broken hand and the broken eye is either one really goin to be ready for that specific fight? Yet I hope if they are that they both fight on that card perhaps against one another or one of them against Lyoto (if he doesnt get the shot), you know that Franklin might want another crack at him.. Or a rematch between Forrest and Rampage (if Lyoto gets the shot), the Franklin could fight Jardine or Liddell or Thiago Silva, hell I could go on and on for the possible matchups or wishlist for UFC 100
That was supposed to say “Wanderlei isn’t planning”.
FR,
In regards to Franklin fighting Lyoto if Rampage is against Rashad, that doesn’t make much sense. Why would you make the guy next in line for a title shot fight someone who just lost their last fight? The only way I could see that is if you wanted to give them a can, and clearly Rich Franklin does not fit that bill. Besides that, Franklin was obliterated by Anderson Silva twice, and Machida is a more elusive striker than Silva. Franklin against Jardine, Liddell or T. Silva would be a very nice fight. I think if you were to put Franklin against Liddell, that would be great numbers for a PPV, two of the most well liked fighters in the UFC going at it. Of course the same could be said of a match up with Franklin and Forrest, or Forrest and Liddell. But… like you said, the wishlist of match-ups could go on forever.
The UFC are trying to have Rashad defend at UFC 100 vs Rampage for a mega card but if he gets hurt vs Jardine then his back up is Machida…The UFC is having to titles defended
i think rashad would rather fight rampage than machida… this would give rashad more time to try and formulate a plan of attack…
i love rampage, hes a beast, but i think sugar is just to sweet for him and his gonna unleash some fury and ko rampage… id much rather see machida vs evans anyways… both of them undefeated… makes for a more epic match up
Machida deeserves the title shot before Rampage does. I am a huge fan of Quinton Jackson, but right is right.
First
I dont see why lyoto deserves a title shot before Rampage, He beat a guy who has not defeated any 1 in the top 5 lhw division in thiago silva. But Rampage KTFO of Wandy the guy most considered top 3, 4, guy in the weight class.
Second
Yall are killing me talking about who deserves a title shot. Any 1 here ever heard of Brock Lesner???????
So who derserves a shot or who doesn’t really does not matter.
Who is exciting who seal tickets, who makes you wanna watch????
I mean look at what Keith Jardine has had to go through… IMO, IMO no one has had a tougher road to get through to get to a title shot. Forrest,Liddel,Bonner,H.Alexender,W.Silva,B.Vera NOW Rampage, and even if, IF AND THAT IS A BIG IF HE BEATS RAMPAGE, he still doesn’t get a title shot.
Dana white and Joe silva would just give him Anderson Silva at 205 to see if he could earn a spot again.
Please don’t jump on the “Brock Lesnar didn’t deserve a title shot” BS… he won didn’t he? Ok, I guess he deserved it.
Jardine isn’t anywhere close to a title shot, since when does win, win, lose(Bonnar), win, win, lose(Alexander), win, lose (Wanderlei), win (Vera) mean you get a title shot? If Jardine beats Rampage maybe he deserves to get a shot after Machida. Besides that, do you really think he would fight Rashad?? (If Rashad still has the belt at the point where Jardine earns a shot.)
what up J-dawg
I think you missed my point.
I dont wont to get into the BS of the {Brock Lesner} thing my point was that the match makers of the ufc decide who get title shots and who dont regardless of who we think should or shouldn’t!
Yeah Brock won, But before that how many people were saying he didn’t deserve a shot???? EVERYBODY!!!!!!
SO the whole lyoto deserves a title shot before rampage or rampage deserves the shot is all a pointless arguement is all i’m saying. Trust me I know Jardine doesn’t deserve a title shot now. but he did IMO after he beat Liddell but instead they gave him H.Alexander!!! And we all know what happened. But what you said about win win lose win lose senero That will mean CHUCK LIDDELL NEVER GET ANOTHER TITLE SHOT HMMMMMMMMM??????
A lot of people said Brock didn’t deserve the shot, but I said the fact that he could win (more than just the “anything could happen” chance) gave some credibility to it, then that if he did win, that would prove it.
It is a bit of a pointless argument about Machida and Rampage, because it’s already been decided who is getting it, not because we don’t affect it, but because it has already been decided. I’m also of the opinion that both mean deserve a shot, but I do think Rampage deserves it first. Hopefully he can keep it that way with a win over Jardine.
Also, Jardine beat Griffin, lost to Alexander, then fought Liddell. I don’t think a points win over Chuck gets you a title shot coming off of a loss to Alexander. Nor did a win over Griffin, at that time, garner a title shot. The win win lose win lose scenario doesn’t apply for the future. If Chuck or Jardine go on a run of wins against quality opponents they deserve a shot. Just because they have some losses doesn’t mean they can never get a shot, its just that if your last four fights were lose win lose win, (or worse) you don’t get a shot, unless the first three are for the title.
I thought jardine lost to Alexander after the liddel fight. Ofcourse I could be wrong.
But I am willing to bet big time Mcdonalds exta value size money that if Liddell wins his next fight watch and see how they will try to give him a shot dude, some kinda way.. Put your gas money up j-dawg. LOL And see if it wont happen. All Liddell needs to get a shot is 2 wins.
talk all the shi* you guys want about Randy not fighting for a year bla bla bla If Dana would of paid him what he’s worth he would have fought. Him and Chuck Damn near made the UFC what it is today with their epic battles. Bottom line it wasn’t all Randy’s fault for not fighting think about it your the face of an organization and get dicked around with about your pay would u fight for change?
At that time Randy was the second highest paid guy in the UFC, behind only Chuck Liddell. He was pulling down at least $1 million per fight from the UFC alone, then sponsor money. Yeah, he was really getting dicked around… please don’t start this crap again about fighter pay, it’s ridiculous.
Personally I want to see Machida vs Anderson at 205 that would be a sick fight. Only negative would be I think, they are both counter strikers who would initiate the contact? Lets get this on paper DANA GeT ER DoNe
Only negative is NEVER GONNA HAPPEN!! Anderson wants Machida to be champ at 205, because they are friends.
Already knew that justin I was just saying it would be tight fight don’t be such a dic*. If Anderson wants too be known as p4p the “BEST” he has to “BEAT” the best friends or not.
re: “don’t be such a dic*.”
1. Don’t throw out ideas for match-ups that you know are never going to happen, it’s a useless post.
2. I’m not the one calling people names.
ya if i was Anderson i would go to be holding to titles at the same time and to me i think that he could hes to quick for anyone there. but ya machida deserve before rampage. beating jardine doesnt get title shot! he should face one more but more at top maybe tiago next after jarding then definitly title shot but after machida. but i bet tiago silva wants a easier oppenent right now after getting koed
this is gonna be AWESOME!!!
my fault i was thinking for some reason as Davis as a Middleweight.
No worries. Also, I agree with FR702 that if you were looking to suggest a quality boxer that is a good idea.
justin
lets just not comment to each other It seems we disagree on just about everything
That doesn’t really promote discussion then, does it? Disagreeing is not a bad thing. There are people that disagree with me on here and we get along just fine. I don’t call people names, or stupid, or say they’re on drugs or anything like that. I simply disagree with the opinions put forth, if I do disagree with them. I only argue against the points, not the person. If you can’t handle that, maybe you should rethink entering into debate in a public forum or develop the ability to handle that.
@ Justin, I don’t care if Franklin v Machida makes sense I just want to see, I mean after Lyoto destroyed Rich awhile ago I would like to see them fight once again…. But you’re correct that Rich would deserve it after losing to Hendo.. I was just throwing it out there ya know…
Randy was getting paid and he decided to look for more money compared to what Dana was paying him, by retiring and attempting to get Affliction to sign a Couture v Fedor fight and he wanted to get one last “big payday”, but guess what he was still under contract, most likely with a no compete clause in there as well… He could have easily fought his last two fights under his ZUFFA contract and we would have already seen Fedor v Randy by now… That’s just reality and my point I guess..
Another thing, most training partners won’t fight one another, that’s just the way the sport is.. As much as most would love to see Anderson v Wanderlei its just not going to happen, or Lyoto v Anderson, its just the way the sport goes, hell we most likely will never Maia v Wanderlei either…
My ten dimes
I know it’s in the books,but do you really think that Rich lost that fight to Hendo? Also,the Crippler vs the Axe Murderer,how cool would that be.
Do I think Hendo won the fight, well it wasn’t clear cut, but I’m not truly upset by the decision.. That fight was slightly dissapointing to me anyways, I was worked up to see a classic battle against two premeire fighters but hey it had its controversy forsure, but I’m not all “up in arms” like the Bisbing, Hamill fight
Leben v Wanderlei would be crazy, seriously someone would be going to sleep in that fight forsure…. Ofcourse I would be taking Wand to win but Leben shouldn’t be put in such a high profile fight after serving his suspension imo but you never know
I expect Leben to be relegated to the under card like Stephan Bonnar was when he came back from his steroid suspension.
GSP vs alves
Bj penn vs Kenflo
rashad vs machida
guida vs maynard
couture vs big nog
wanderlei vs cote (hopfully he comes back by then)
bisping vs hendo
gonzaga vs kongo
sanchez vs lauzon
————————————————————————
justin vs turk (lol)
————————————————————————
UFCfan (Nightmare) that is a really good potential card kid cheers
“justin vs turk”
That would either have to be in WEC, or some open weight match in DREAM, depending on Turk’s size. I’m not big enough for the UFC.
justin by first round KO!
cheers! =)
they should have joe silva look at this for all these ideas for fights
Personally I think Alves looked really slow versus Kos. All Kos wanted to do was take him down and, yeah, he defended it well, but Kos is not GSP, and Kos didn’t mix it up like GSP will. Look for some really tight, perfect gameplan to deal with Alves. I agree with one other poster who said that the only chance Alves really has is the one-punch KO, but I don’t think GSP is dumb enough to stand right in front of him. He’ll use the angles and he’ll make Alves’ night a bad one.
In terms of Jackson/Jardine, I don’t know why this is happening. But, since it is, look for Jardine to kick the hell out of Jackson’s legs, and watch for the combos from Rampage. It will be a fun fight
This is happening because Rashad said he wasn’t ready to fight Rampage yet, he wanted some more time before he did. Rampage said he wanted to fight again before then, so Dana asked him if he wanted to fight Jardine. Rampage said yes, Jardine said yes, everybody signed the contract… voila you have a fight between Rampage and Jardine on March 7th. Now you know why this is happening.
So we are in agreement that Evans pretty much turned down a title defense against Rampage cuz he didn’t believe he would be ready 3 months after winning the belt…. So he has his teammate fighting the #1 contender hmmmmm interesting..
Frank Viola the great Twin
F~WAMMA
Dont forget Evans did just have his 3rd kid in November, so he probably appreciated having sometime to spend w/ his wife and kid before being back full time.
Frank Viola? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
Que’?
ya not expecting a hard fight for rampage i expect another first round knock out.
you know Jardine just magically seems to step up when he’s been counted out completely I dunno what it is but it seems to happen all the time. Then he goes out and gets annihilated right before he’s given a title shot…go figure.
Alves has every oppurtunity to win this fight against GSP. He practically humiliated Kos, it didn’t look like he was going for the knockout just to show everyone in the WW division that he is an absolute monster on his feet…in saying that only on his feet though, but expect a great gameplan from GSP to neutrilize his standup. I wouldn’t be surprised to see if GSP pushes it to the later rounds to tire out the big brazilian. Also i dont know how you could compare Alves standup with Serra’s standup, which are lightyears apart whoever made that statement.
Alves is a great figher but I think GSP is in the zone in a leauge of his own
yep alves’s only shot is to catch him on his feet. but i expect gsp to for a little bit each round then take him down and ground and pound. i like watching fitch ko alves with a up kick!
I’m am pretty sure that The Spider said he wouldn’t fight Machida. I don’t remember where but it could have been a question from an interview or something when he was moving up a weight class.
Vinz, it is because he trains Lyoto Machida along with Big Nog that is the reason he won’t fight him…. No he did say he wouldn’t fight for the LHW title until Lyoto got his shot and if Lyoto lost then he would be open to fighting for the title
Jardine has had 5 years of his soul taken by H. Alexander.
Jardine has had 5 years of his life taken by decapation, from Wandy!!
Jardine now has 5 years of the remaining time left on earth to be taken by Rampage!!!
After That Dana white and Joe silva will force Jardine to fight Anderson silva to have 5 years of life in the here after taken.
I think the only thing which I’m really going to be watching for closely is Thiago Alves takedown defence, he has neutrilized Matt Hughes takedowns and not once being taken down by Koscheck. What is his takedown defence compared to GSP’s takedowns. Very interesting stand up between both guys.
