^^ i hear you. Belive me i love boxing, but MMA is better at putting your money down. Im going off that wishkid12 preditions tonight, she might be that special goldenchild.

Also MMA is so entertaining because there's so many fight cards & early KO's. Watching MMA is def something you can watch with friends & drink.

^^^sorry king but finch is to small to deal with the power of GSP. GSP is gonna take john down & ground & pound simular to what he did to J Kochek. I do see it being a tuff fight.

^^^ shadio , dont be shocked my friend cause after tonight we celebrate the win !
Nothing will stop Finch tonight, i see a lot of STRAIGHTS and kicks getting on finch but and its a big but , when finch gets close i think he will be comfortable and take GSP to the ground and steal the rounds .

GSP get ready because tonight will be your toughest fight !!

Finch wont tap or get ko'd so GSP better be well prepared for a long and tough battle.

Side note--- im pulling for finch but a part of me wants GSP cause i want to see the GSP VS The hawaiin soon

hats off to GSP , he fought real good and took it to my boy fitch. In the 2nd round i thouight FITCH was getting control of the fight but GSP turned it around real nice and just took the fight with his god given athletic skills and MMA skills.

Sounds like it would have made me a fan or closer to it. Do they replay these fights on Showtime like the Boxing PPV or any other network? Sounds like I missed a great card.

Good fights without a doubt. I lost 20 bucks on the Fitch fight, hoping GSP would come in unfocused again. whoops!! I'm kinda ****ed Huerta didnt get the W, I thought he did enough to win(couldve been the liquor though). I guess they are already working on Penn vs GSP 2. BJ might be the best lightweight ever, and put up a great fight against GSP last time, but I dont think he should fight as high aa 170, hes just doesnt carry the extra weight well. Who knows though, BJ might catch St. Pierre if the fight stays on their feet.

Awesome. Thanks for the link Shadio. I'm not sure I remember that fight. I think you mentioned before that there is a lot to the ground game, but I'm not really sure what to look for. I know it's very tactical, but do you have any pointers or info on what to look for? Thanks for any help.

Nice win by GSP. I honestly thought that as good as Georges is, that Fitch is such a gutty fighter and would wear him down in the later rounds, but that never happened. GSP is a great fighter and I'm excited to see him and Penn go at it. Really dissapointed in Huerta's performance tonight. I'm a big fan of Roger, but he seemed totally lost as to what to do against Florian. I give Kenny a ton of credit though. He's the real deal and a tough fight for any lightweight in the UFC. I see him beating just about any of the lightweights except Penn and Sherk. But Roger didn't seem to be able to figure out how to be effectively aggressive and looked bad. I'm not jumping off the Huerta bandwagon, but I do see a lot of holes in his game that haven't been fixed yet and need to if he wants to make any sort of dent in the division.
