Hunter must be drunk or something. Hughes over GSP & Chuck over Wandy, come on now. The only thing i
am going to disagree with is Sokoudjou & Machida. This is going to
be a interesting fight, see how Machida looks against someone like Soko
but i think Machida is going to take this one.

I'm not a Hughes hater like a lot of people. I am neutral if not a little bit fond of MH. MH is also very smart, & w/ his history I think he could take GSP. That was a pretty hard fight to call, but I think it's going to be an upset.

CL vs WS I think I've got in the bag. I'm going to go ahead & dismiss his loss to KJ as a fluke because something went severely wrong. WS has lost 5/7 of his last fights. WS has climbed the gym class rope, rung the bell at the top, & gotten the rope burn on the way down. His hands are sore, & he has too many caluses to climb it again. That's the way I see it.

It has been a long time since there was an MMA card w/out a significant upset on it. The trick is trying to figure out which fight it's going to be.

I hear you on the liddell / silva fight. I know chucks going to be training hard as hell cause he wants to win, he can't afford to lose another, but at the same time Wandy has had a lot of time off & has wanted this fight for a long ass time. On top of that Wandy has been training with Randy 'The Paycheck' Couture so thats going to make a difference. It could go either way, but im pulling for Wandy to win.

Also i don't think Gullard is going to win

Matt Hughes vs. Georges St. Pierre (Interim Welterweight Championship Bout)
Chuck Liddellvs. Wanderlei Silva
Lyoto Machida vs Rameau Sokoudjou
Rich Clementi vs. Melvin Guillard
Soa Palalei vs. Eddie Sanchez - don't care

I have a lot of respect for Hughes actually. Not much for him as a person but so far he has been the GOAT at welterweight. That being said I just don't see him beating GSP. yes Matt did defeat GSP in the first fight. But that was in the fall of 2004 people & it was very competitive & down to the wire. Plus it was over 3 years ago. In the second fight GSP destroyed him. It wasnt "close" or "give & take" or a anything. GSP beat Hughes down like he owed him money.

Im also going with Liddell, although I seem to think Wandy will last longer than most of my fellow Chuck huggers think. Yes, Wandy is training with Moneyman Couture, but it doesnt change the fact that Wanderlei Silva is Wanderlei Silva. & Wanderlei Silva CANNOT avoid getting hit. Its just his way. & what we've seen with Chuck unlike a lot of Wandy's opponents, is that when Chuck hits you flush, you go down. I see this fight acting out a lot like Crocop/Wandy II but not with as much brutality or suddenness. Chuck will circle around Wandy's attacks & pick him off on the sidestep.

GSP- Because he's the only canadian I tolerate.
Double bold- Because I hope they knock each other out at the same time.
Remy- Because I like dreads.
Melvin- Because I can picture him saying, "Cocaine is a helluva drug"
Eddie- Because he looks like that weird looking dude from goonies
Manny/dean- I like their first names
The others I ignored because I don't know who they are.

My system is flawless. Wait & see.

I was out at the bar last night & there was some fucking kid was there with the design of that tatoo Wandy has on the back of his head shaved into his hair, it was one of the gayest things i have ever seen

Fuck that was a good card. Both chuck & wandy showed they still have a ton of fight left in them. Kinda sucked Wandy lost, i had my wand shirt on Sad

Soko looked horrible (but who wouldn't against machida) & GSP is the #2 fighter in the world right behind anderson. GSP fucking raped hughes.
