UFC 76

Arona v. Lyoto could be an interesting matchup. As for LHW, I would really like to see Randy drop and take on Rampage.

I don't know where Diego does currently. At this point he is going to be dominated by his bigger, stronger opponents like GSP, Fitch, and maybe even Koscheck. Even a drop down... I still have doubts about him being anything other than a #2 or #3 guy guy in the 155 division. He'd be like what Cro Cop was to the Heavyweight division in PRIDE.

Chuck is talking retirement.

Diego seeing GSP's shrink is where he needs to go. A guy as whacked out as Sanchez probably needs his head screwed back on after losing 2 in a row.

I swear that shrink could be rolling in the dough by setting up a cottage industry as the shrink to MMA stars.

 

Speaking of Chuck, considering retirement while probably a wise thing in the short term, however I don't see him doing so only because the drive for competition is too great. But then again, that division isn't starving for good talent right now so I can see at least 2 more fights (a feeder and then the Wandy bout) and a buyout of the remainder of his deal, if he is seriously considering retirement.

 

Again, this may be me spewing Creed thoughts so I could be wrong

Diego's the most mentally tough fighter out there, the last thing he needs is a sports psychologist.

 

At 155 he may do really well against all but BJ Penn. I'd love to see him fight Gomi.

Do you even know why Rampage lost those fights?

 

Muay thai clinch...

 

I also remember Rampage beating up Wanderlei bad in the 2nd fight before getting stopped. Rampage is a mentally stronger fighter since then and I can't see him letting Wanderlei get the chance he did in the 2nd fight.

If BJ gasses, Diego stops him but I can't see Diego beating a 100% motivated BJ Penn, although he would hold his own. At 155 Diego would be an absolute monster.

Well, if you win 19 fights in a row, then lose two straight, and have to deal with the "fun" that is a staph infection. I don't care who you are or how mentally tough you're purported to be - that's gonna take something away from you from a psychological standpoint.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

Forrest got Sub of The Night and Griffin/Tavares was FOTN. In the greatest or ironies there was no knockout bonus because the fights were all either decision or tapout.

Maybe they should rule his match a no contest like the Diaz fight.

Maybe if Nakamura won, but he didn't so it's irrelevent.
