ufc 100

Any UFC fans around here? Big weekend for MMA with event number 100 coming up. Should be a cracker of a card as well.

Got a lot of time for both Bisping and Henderson as fighters, but i think Bispings strking is that notch above Hendersons and it will hopefully make the difference.

I think Georges St Pierre will dominate Alves - GSP is just all class and Alves, although awesome power, just wont be able to match the finesse of the Canadian.

The heavyweight fight is also hard to call - the man mountain in Lesnar or the experience and talent of Mir. Lesnar proved that he can handle top level wrestlers when he demolished Coutre, but Mir is a BJJ expert - which poses distinct difficulties for someone whom sits on their opponents. Will be a real interesting fight thats for sure

Where can I watch the Brock Lesnar fight? He is a machine and if you think someone can beat him I would like to watch that.

Henderson V Bisping - Henderson has destroyed people in Prides ‘tournament’ nights, where a fighter must fight twice in a night. He held his own as the Welterweight title holder in Pride, a league far more advanced and rough than the UFC (spawned the likes of Mirko Crocop and Wanderlei Silva). Bisping is a great kickboxer and has great strikes , but will be easily overcome by Henderson due to Dans experience, superior ground game and FAR better chin.

GSP v Al

.... watch tiago’s last fight. nuff said. I’m canadian, have fought MMA for 4 years and been involved with Karate (trained til 1st deg. Black) my entire life. I love the sport and canadian fighters…I want to say Georges will win but unfortunately GSP will be overwelmed by this “pit bull” of a fighter. GSP is just another notch on this guys rise to fame. I don’t know why I say this, GSP is an unreal fighter, I’ve seen him in clinics back here and its like.. inhuman how he moves and strikes… i just feel thiago is the next best thing…

Lesner v Mir

Frank Mir is over the hill. So far over it if he looked over his shoulders it’d be flatter than the great planes of Saskatchewan. This guy is a talker, an excellent wrestler and has some of the slowest hands in stand up youll ever see. Brock Lesner is a daemon, set to take out anything in his way. He will hold the title for many fights after this, and will completely stomp Mir into the ground.

haven’t seen it yet - so please don’t post the results

i wouldn’t discount bisping’s ground game. He might not be in the same league as henderson in regards to straight up wrestling, but he has an accomplished submissions game. I also think bisping is a much more intelligent fighter then most give him credit for. He develops a game plan and sticks to them in order to negate his opponents strengths and maximise his - look at his fight against Chris leben.

u r right - on both points - GSP is a freak and alves is an animal - but i think GSPs superior skills will see him through. His ground game is amazing, and it would not suprise me to see him utilise this more againt alves whom is a powerful striker. Everytime i see alves leg kick someone it makes me whince in pain.

i don’t think lesnar will stomp mir into the ground - in the past mir may have been all talk but he reversed that in his last fight againts Noeriaga. His striking was significantly impoved and so was his conditioning. So i reckon he will be able to defeat lesnar
