Dream Match: 4/28

Right now i think the one match everbody wants to see is anderson silva vs st pierre. I think that would be a purley amazing fight. Now most people wouldnt take sides but im gonna say silva. In silvas last fight he demonstrated that his takedown defense has improved. not to say that demian maia is as good as st pierre at taking people down. Even if st pierre can take silva to the mat, silva can still submit him. he choked out dan henderson who is an extremely good wrestler. Every fight starts standing up so that an advantage for silva. It may onley take seconds for silva to pick the right time to engage st pierre. And after dana whites thoughts on silvas last fight silva would be on top game. it seems when silva moves up weight classes(moves out of his usual weight class) he does better. I think he may have a higher guard since hes not used to that weight class. In this fight im almost sure that st pierre would successfully take anderson down. But hess going to have to keep him down and not get submitted for 25 minutes. Now in 25 minutes i see anderson getting up (at least once) and taking out st pierre. St pierre does not have a good chin! We saw when he fought matt serra that when he gets hit he does not do good. And silva can deliver one hell of a hit. Silva is probably 10 times more precise than serra. I see this one ening in the 3 round with anderson silva tko.

Chael Sonnen Knows How To Hype A Fight

After andersons contrevesial win over demian maia everybodys heads were in the place of, whos next? joe rogan announced that if silva won the fight he would be moving down and fighting st pierre. That would have been the all time biggest mma fight ever, but... it seems dana hes making him defend white was so upset with silvas inibility to finish the fight that hes making him defend the belt yet again. Theres really not ch to prove for silva. we know hes the best there, but now the only thing he can prove is that he can finish fights. Announced not even a week after 112. Chael sonnen will be getting a title shot. Who isnt even as good as maia! bullshit is what it is. But man is chael making this exciting. heres some quotes from chael on his gameplan and thoughts on silva: "I have a moral obligation to society to beat [Silva] up,"
"That is true [of the Silva fight happening], on one condition, that is, if diplomacy fails," Sonnen said. "I am giving Anderson Silva the fair chance to back out and back out now. But as sure as night follows day if he does not heed my warning I will declare war and on Aug. 7 at 7PM his 15 minutes of fame will come to an abrupt halt."
"James Toney I think without question is the best striker we got in this company. I think James Toney can outstrike anybody including Anderson Silva and I think everyone here would probably agree with me. Though everybody's dismissing James Toney, but they're accepting Anderson's skills. I dismiss both of those bums. That's what I think about them. I dismiss them both." These were some of the things that sonnen said at wec aldo vs faber. It seems this man likes the comedy spot light.

Huge Card Next Sunday

Man am i pumped for next weekends "ufc live on versus 1" The great thing about this is that its got some incredible fights and its free. I might seem additionaly pumped for the fact that two of my favorite fighters are competing that night: Junior dos santos and jon jones. The santos vs gonzaga fight should definitely be a knock out kinda fight. Both these guys have got the power to finish it in the first round. And on to the jones vs vera fight which is headlining at the event. Jon jones treamendous ability to throw wild things and land them should be a defining factor in that fight and i see that giving him the win. Another ufc event making history here. This is the first ever live ufc event on versus. Which versus is just like spike for people who have direct tv. Also cheik kongo is returning to the octogan after his devistating loss to frank mir. It also seems that the prelims pack a powerfull punch too. Weve got brendan shaubs returning after his loss to tuf 10 winner roy nelson. I really see shaub beating the hell outta all these shitty fighters there going to put him up against due to his loss over nelson. And weve got clay guida takin on some lesser competion after his loss to kenny florian. It seems that after talking about this fight card its a redemption to everyone who is fighting because pretty much everyone i coming off loses except of dos santos. Wherever these fights go these competitors are going to be sent into top contention after these fights and i sure cant wait to see how so of these guys fare up against other top competition.

Paulo Thiago. Underated?

I really think paulo thiago has the skills to go up against st pierre. I really dont think hardy deserves a shot at st pierre. Hardy could not finish swick and paulo rocked swick then slapped a darce on him showing his patience and skills. It shows the thiago has subbmissions which is one of few ways you can fight st pierre. Thiago is better than st pierre on the stand up but what he lacks is what st pierre has. We never really see thiagos ground game much but he has subbmission skills because its not so easy to pull a darce off that good. He improves into a different fighter everytime he fights, i like the way he paws and slips punches but has the power to knock you out. Thiagos boxing is top notch. hes got good head movement and hes a thinker more than just a thrower. His counter striking never ceases to amaze which is usally getting him the win. But am i pouring on to much sugar on it? I dont know how bias i am on this subject but thiagos not really that big of a deal... yet. I know thiagos going to go far i just dont know how far and if hes going to train as hard as he can. Hes definatly not a slacker. Hes on the side of the fighters that are always training non stop. He trains with the best which always pays off in the end. I dont think thiago gets as much credit as he deserves especialy after his one loss. If this guy can train as much as possible and push himself to the edge than i think theres nothing stopping him from becoming the welterweight champion.

Boxing And UFC

Its been going around that alot of boxers want to get in ufc and a good example of someone trying to get in is boxer james toney. toney is looking to move over to ufc but dana white seems to want to hold these boxers back. i really dont see a problem in this, i even think it would evolve mma boxing. if the concern is that boxers wont be good on the ground, then let them have a fight and learn. theres no reason to shatter a persons dream to get in the ufc. theres no doubt that toney has some pretty sick boing skills and i think it would be great so see someone like toney or other boxers fare against someof ufc's best. Theres also rumors going around that manny "pack-man" pacquiao wants to get into mma-ufc. How awesome would it be to see pack man in the ufc? Hes built like an athlete, which they usally do extremely good. Obviously these boxers are getting tired of boxing or the other boxers are just not enough for them that they need to take on a challenge. This could be a great leap for mma. As i was saying this could be evolution for mma, a step up in the striking game. Theres also many other boxers trying to get in mma and ufc but dana white is declining all these boxers. if he feels there going to emmbarrass him then he shouldnt have let holles gracie in the ufc. If these boxers want to get serious and start doing mma then they need to train there asses off... hey it wouldnt be suprising. pro wrestlers can do it. why can they?
