Lord of The Curry

They could get a decent stable of ladies in WEC: Carano, Cyborg, Bazlyer, Kedzie, Kobald, Evinger. Too bad Tara LaRosa is under contract with the AFL but they'll probably fold before their first show. I'd hope they sign Sara Kaufman as she's been tearing it up North of the border and was supposed to have a fight on the Diaz/Alvarez card before Elite folded.

About the grappling thing? Or the whole thing?

I think it's been mentioned off-hand a few times but if it's confirmed we'll probably start an actual thread about as we've yet to have one strictly discussing female MMA.

You're right, I should have used "evolved quicker" rather then possesing natural talent because GSP has been doing this for a shorter period of time then BJ and every single fight made leaps and bounds in terms of improvement. Was BJ a grappler before he turned to MMA?

UFC 94 Akihiro Gono vs Jon Fitch

His single with T-Pain about hittin' a fat chick while drunk is a guilty pleasure of mine right now. Video is fucking hilarious too.

In regards to Sulu I read an interview with Tim Kring a while back that said we'll find out eventually about ihs power but it won't be for a while.

I think that's a pretty debatable argument. You could argue the versatility of either fighter being greater all day, but it's not a hands down win for either guy. I don't think anyone would argue that BJ's jiu-jitsu will likely always be better than GSP, they're striking is comparable, and Georges' wrestling is superior. However, on the idea of "natural" talent, I don't see how you could not give BJ credit for being a Top 5 caliber fighter in TWO divisions. Whereas St. Pierre is among the biggest and strongest welterweights around, BJ has essentially been a chubby lightweight who fights at welterweight (or even middleweight and light heavyweight) on a whim. I'm doubtful GSP could be competitive with a Top 5 MW, personally. Weight jumping isn't NECESSARY for a fighter to be considered great, but to downplay the few who can do it with some success (Penn, Yamamoto, etc.) is doing them a disservice. I've never said that BJ isn't a top P4P fighter. IMO it's him, Fedor, Silva and GSP then there's a huge drop-off for the others.

Your scouting of other members posts is mediocre at best. I have said on multiple occasions that GSP, if he were to lose to anybody that it would be BJ who would give him problems. Stop acting like I am somehow refusing to give Penn his props. Have he shown himself to be a serious prick on prior occasion? Not even debateable. Is he an extremely decorated fighter who's one of the best in the world? No doubt. If we're going by parallel victories GSP holds TWO over Hughes and though they were more drawn out the domination was none the less on par with anything BJ did in his fight. I was tempted not to mention how GSP destroyed Sherk way worse then BJ because that would indicate that GSP showed actual versatility in his fight with Sherk whereas BJ was content to throw jabs and hooks for almost four rounds whereas it took GSP a round and two minutes to showcase his dominance. But to answer your question I think while BJ was earning all of his pretty accomplishements GSP was doing........nothing? Kyokoshin Karate, maybe? I imagine that's what frustrates BJ more then anything. Somebody out there other then him took to doing this more naturally.

If anybody feels like comparing GSP's five straight against Miller/Trigg/Sherk/Penn/Hughes against anything BJ has done his his career, feel free. Also, it's really sad to see Spike's GSP bias slowly trickling out here. I mean, at the very least save it for a couple weeks before the fight. Now it's just premature bjeaculation.

I agree that neither of them is there yet, having said that if we're going by resume's and quality of opponents beaten I think GSP wins slightly.

I know, fuckin mainstream attention is attracting the unwanted kind for this folder. First bob barron, then Czech makes a post, who's next? Incandenza?

Also the complete and utter decimation that preceeded the knees to the ribs (not back). I'm sure you leaving that out was a complete accident.

So long as it's cordial and nothing racist/untrue is said about either fighter it's all good. Just rember what happened to the last guy that called GSP Frenchie

It won't be a Matt Hughes beatdown. It'll be worse. GSP TKO R4.

A ton of people who come out of college/uni deal with jobs completely unrelated to their degree for many years post-grad. Welcome to life.

Here's something even more interesting: GSP always makes 170. It's up to BJ to step up. *Epic Fail quote*

I defy anybody to tell me how this episode was even passable. And I have never said that about an episode of Heroes before.

If one of my buddies told me they railed Jamie-Lynn my snap response would be something akin to "Dude, no way I'm keeping this a secret."

When Randy Couture's departure happened UFC wasn't sure about when he would be returning so they did Nogueira vs Tim Sylvia to determine who'd be the interim champion in his stead.

Wasn't GSP/Hughes III for an interim title because the jury was out on Serra's back and they needed to potentially have a champ ready to defend in case it was a long-term injury?

I got about a minute into "Coldest Winter" and couldn't listen anymore.

Fun episode with a seriously depressing ending. Stellan Skasgaard and his freakouts were amazing and it's nice to see Turtle (or should I say Sal?) get his moment in the sun. So the season ends with, what? Ari going to Queens and pleading with Vince to come back to Hollywood?

I'm tempted to order the One More Round warm-up jacket Kenny wore but it's 129.99 and there's shipping on top of that.

The fact that it's for a title is bullshit, straight-up. BJ is 0-2 in his last two WW fights and it's an insult to guys like Alves, Koscheck and others that he leapfrogs ahead of them.
