If you dare to take the bet then pick your winners from the fights I chose. I didnt know any about all the other's.

**Freak** · 08-03-2009, 11:27 AM

I don't know the others well enough but I do disagree with your BJ Penn and Forrest predictions..

**Medic08** · 08-03-2009, 11:28 AM

I sent you a PM, just ignore it,lol. Ok so wanna bet on just those two fights?

**mindstar** · 08-03-2009, 11:37 AM

BJ Penn vs. Kenny Florian I look for Kenflo to surprise with cardio and a savvy game plan, though BJ is still a gamer. I mean he can jump out of a pool.
Forrest Griffin vs. Anderson Silva though it could go the distance and a decision...if griffen can keep calm and not try and slug with Silva it should be good. Hopefully he tags Silva early and wakes him from his stupor he;s been in for his last few fights...lol
Amir Sadollah vs. Johny Hendricks Only because I like the kid. Hopefully the huge layoff hasn't killed him.
Kendall Grove vs. Ricardo Almeida grove is overrated.
Kurt Pellegrino vs. Josh Neer does that count as an upset?
Shane Nelson vs. Aaron Riley who?
John Howard vs. Tamdan McCrory who?
Alessio Sakara vs. Thales Leites fight of the night here i think.
Matt Riddle vs. Dan Cramer who?
George Sotiropoulos vs. Rob Emerson
Danillo Villefort vs. Jesse Lennox who?

Yes Kurt beating Josh is an upset. You wanna see a gamer look no further. Totally agree on Kenflow and Silva. You're goin down Medic.

I love Forrest and think he has the heart to beat Silva... Now would I bet money on that fight? Hell No! Im just going off a feeling in my gut. Now I would bet money on Penn though. I hope people think he's gonna put on a bad show like he did against GSP. It's not gonna happen, Penn is a beast at 155!

101bodybuilder · 08-03-2009, 11:51 AM

I dont see Anderson Silva losing, hes to good of a Fighter. Id take Silva's Muay Thai/BJJ over Griffins Kickboxing/Muay Thai.

**Freak** · 08-03-2009, 12:01 PM

agree with Griffen's heart and BJ at 155 but Kenny has great cardio, elbows, bjj, and I think is hungrier.

101bodybuilder · 08-03-2009, 12:08 PM

I think it all depends on how BJ prepares. If he conditions well, I can see him winning the fight but if he BS's through his training he wont stand a chance.

**Medic08** · 08-03-2009, 12:42 PM

BJ is always conditioned at 155. Its 170 that he's not.

Famine · 08-03-2009, 03:31 PM

Hey guys, does anyone do UFC Fantasy picks? I signed up a year ago and played for while with some friends. It was pretty fun. You get points for who wins, how they win, and when they win. It seems there is a lot of interest in picking who is going to win, so why not see who REALLY knows what they're talking about, lol?

My best score last year was 40th place out of 40,000(ish).

Any takers? You can even set up a Bodybuilding Dungeon group so we can all see each other's scores once the fight is done. It's pretty fun.

ae14 · 08-03-2009, 03:34 PM

As much as I want Kenny to win, I just dont see it, sadly

Famine · 08-09-2009, 02:23 AM

OH MY GOD!!! Forrest???

**Medic08** · 08-09-2009, 03:50 AM

Damnt! That was the worst thing I've seen..... Uggghhh my boy Forrest got owned. Silva was toying with him. Man that guy is un-stoppable. Freak I guess we tied,lol. Bj Owned Kenny's ass! The master lives!

**Thomas_Rivera** · 08-09-2009, 05:25 AM

I'm not saying the Forrest V Silva fight was fixed. But I am saying for the people that saw that last punch, how the **** could that knock someone down.

**Medic08** · 08-09-2009, 07:46 AM

Bj still over rated bro?

Found this via AM.

Update on Forrest Griffin (who was absent from the post-fight press conference) from the UG: "I... - Bloody Elbow

Update on Forrest Griffin (who was absent from the post-fight press conference) from the UG:

"I heard his jaw was dislocated very early in the fight…then he took several more punches to the jaw. Apparently he can’t hear out of the ear on that side either. He left the octagon because he needed medical attention asap. At first they thought his jaw was broken, then said it was dislocated."

[UPDATE] - Confirmed by telegraph.co.uk:

"Griffin had been taken to the hospital for checks, unable to hear in one ear, and in order to get his jaw checked."

101bodybuilder · 08-09-2009, 01:50 PM

Makes sense now i was wondering how you could knock someone down while backstepping

**HawaiianPride.** · 08-09-2009, 02:13 PM

I knew it looked a little sketchy on why he just backed out like that.

**islander** · 08-09-2009, 02:54 PM

ahh ok ya looked like a dive (not that I thought he would need to.)

Not surprised by any of the outcomes. Our cable was ****en up and im not sure they showed it but bummed I missed the Thales Leties fight. Anyone see it or now where to watch it. Greek guy put on a great skill show.

**Freak** · 08-09-2009, 05:03 PM

Thanks Famine yeah we need to set that group up and do it!

Does anyone bet on UFC? - If you do I think you are kinda crazy but would still like to know.

BJ is the man at 155. I wonder if Diego will be able to take him down. He will be bigger, just as good of cardio.. The thing is Diego wont have the advantage on the ground.

Kenflow had a good game plan but BJs skill was just too much.

What can I say.. Silva is a badass. Super quick like Bruce Lee.

Surprised to see Josh Neer lose esp after he was talking bad about Kurt during the fight. At least back it up Josh...

**Medic08** · 08-09-2009, 07:50 PM

I was very suprised too about neer. What was he saying the bar was loud I couldn't hear.

“I hit him with everything I had, hard elbows, and he kept calling me more names. He was a tough kid. It kind of made me keep on track to just keep doing what I was doing, stick to my game plan and stop listening to Josh call me so many mean names. I actually slapped him in the face because he kept calling me a bitch. He was like ‘You hit like a bitch.’ I’m like all right. And I stood up and slapped him. I go ‘Now you just got hit like one.’ “

– UFC lightweight standout Kurt Pellegrino (14-4) talks during the UFC 101 post-fight presser (via Canadian Press) about opening the main card with his three round unanimous decision win over Josh Neer. “Batman” used his jiu-jitsu and top game to stymie Neer’s offense and kept the pressure on throughout the fight with repeated takedowns. “The Dentist” was busy from his guard with a couple of submission attempts but was never able to mount much of an offense during the bout. Neer was visibly frustrated by round three and let the New Jersey grappler know about it with a verbal tirade that only got him slapped for his efforts. It was Pellegrino’s third straight win inside the Octagon and fourth in his last five attempts. Who’s next in line for the ascending 155-pounder?

**Medic08** · 08-09-2009, 08:37 PM

Hahahaha "now you got hit like one".

He did well, I think with a two or more fights to clear out the remaining top lightweight ufc guys everything they say about him would be more substantiated. Maybe I look into what the commentators and Dana say too much, but when you have someone saying "whenever his cardio has failed him he's depending purely on talent to win a fight" when talking about anyone is really ass kissing.

He did better at waiting for Kenny to tire out than Kenny did trying to push the action to try to tire BJ out, his cardiovascular health looks alot better.

I was dissapointed in the forrest fight, he was getting tagged but it looked like he was doing good to counter strike and strike. My biggest concern there is that Forrest is looking like he is going down the road of fighters who sustain multiple injuries that add up.

The Amir fight I think the one that lasted 32 seconds, it was stopped too short for me, but the guy didn't defend on the ground or roll up or show he was doing anything intelligent so that's his fault.

I'm going to watch the rest of the fights tonight or tomorrow.

**HawaiianPride.** · 08-10-2009, 01:15 AM

Well if anyone watched WEC tonight, that was an amazing performance by Bowles. Torres got first round Ko'd, breaking his 17 fight winning streak. Congrats Bowles!
