What's peoples picks for UFC 107:

Penn Vs Sanchez = Penn I think he is too good standing and too good on the ground, he looks to be in even better shape this time too.

Mir Vs Kongo = I think Kongo will knock Mir out, I hope he does anyway lol

Fitch Vs Pierce = Fitch TKO

Florian Vs Guida = Guida will grind a decision, probable FOTN

Buentello Vs Struve = Headhunter by KO

Belcher Vs Gouveia = Belcher by KO

Wiman Vs Nelson = Don't care but I'll go Wiman

Hendricks Vs Funch = Hendricks, dunno anything about Funch

Pallhares Vs Linhaers = Pallhares by submission

Johnson Vs Garcia = As long as Demarques Johnson loses im happy.

Burns Vs Grant = Burns
 
I think Guida is going to be stuck as a gatekepper at 155, he isn't good enough to be top 5, but can weed out the newcomers.

An Florian is to 155 what Franklin is to 185, too good for the rest but not good enough to beat the champ :(

Yeah haha, I didn't think about Fitch he is the same. The one thing I don't like about Fitch is, he is not really a finisher he hasn't got the power in his hands, and isn't s super slick JuJitsu guy, he grinds it.

Has good fights though, just would like to see him finish more often.
 
Yeah he is still champ. Mir Vs Carwin is for an interim title, and then they face Lesnar once he is ready, but he is still the champ.

Don't quite understand what the point of having an interim champ is when he has confirmed he is coming back in the summer.
 
Forgot to mention did anyone watch Strikeforce at the weekend? Was a really decent event,the org is shaping up nicely.

They really need to find a better opponent for Cyborg, hoping Toughill is next she should prove a much better challenge.

Herschel Walker was well erm boring, fair play to him for getting in there at 47. The man looks about 30 body wise. He had a gimme opponent who he really couldn't finish but did with erm armpit punches?

Nick diaz looked a beast once again, his punches look so soft but hit so hard, he now has called out GSP. I hope they bring him back to the UFC he is always good to watch at 170.

Manhoef vs Lawler was crazy, Manhoef just got lazy as he was dominating so much and Lawler has bricks for hands so that 1 punch was all it took.

Yeah I see it!

The Walker fight was weird his opponent looked very erm lacklusture, I mean Walker was going from transition to transition like it was some sort of text book training lesson didnt really seem to have much of a fight :/

I <3 Manhoef as well the dude is a beast I was stunned to see him get KO'd what was he thinkng dropping his hands like that walked right into it! Those legs kicks though B.R.U.T.A.L the guy was almost spinning around when checking em lol

Im looking forward to the next Daley fight, its versus Koscheck isnt it?

Also the next WEC (think its the next) is looking pretty damn sweet as well

135 lbs.: WEC Bantamweight Champion Brian Bowles vs. Dominick Cruz

Main Card (Televised):

135 lbs.: Miguel Torres vs. Joseph Benavidez

Yeah Daley Vs Kos, should be an easy win for Kos if he uses his wrestling, but I fear he will stand to prove a point and will get KO'd.

WEC is looking very tasty indeed.
 
Sherk is the worst for it! He has little t-rex arms and stays standing with people. He has always been a grinder, take them down and grind the gnp but no he decides to stand, and loses again and again in this fashion.

Before Rashads fight with Silva he said he was going back to being a mixed martial artist and using his wrestling, as for a time he would just strike also. He did say knocking people out was like a drug.

Even Chuck mixed it up when he fought Wanderlei!
 
I won my second fight by decision, the lad I was fighting was a bit bigger than me as my original lad dropped out so it was take this fight or not fight.

I felt the weight difference for sure, but was in control for most of the fight i'd say (video will follow once i have it)

I had serious Diarrhea the whole day of the fight and lost even more weight due to fluid loss, but I managed to eek out round 2 despite being completely exhausted.
 
There is another on the 9th May, but im getting married the day before that so the Mrs won't let me do that one, doesn't want me bruised up from training near the wedding lol.

I think the next one after that is August, i'll probably be on that one.
 
Quality isn't great:

As promised my second amateur fight, not really happy with it but I was fighting with a 5kg weight disadvantage so I just couldn't get him off me on the ground he just tied me up.

Don't listen to the commentator there was head shots on the ground lol

Anyway here ya go :)

Ahhaa thanks Amnesia, I'll remember for the future.

Sorry Kev think you mixed us up, I was the one who did a lot of laying, not through choice, he was a lot stronger than me and just held me I couldn't get my arms free to hit.

He wasn't helping by the fact he didn't try and sweep or submit me at all so I had no opening to strike, he literally just held me up.

As I say I wasn't happy with the performance, but a wins a win.
 
I didn't think Kongo was boring, he fought to win. Another loss and I reckon he woulda been kicked from the UFC, he had a game plan and stuck to it.

If he had of stood with Buentello chances are he would have got knocked out, fair enough he wasn't as busy on the ground as I would have liked but it's easy to judge from behind the tv.
 
Bisping just dodged a bullet!

His next fight was due to be against Nate Marquardt, but Marquardt turned it down as his wife is expecting her baby on the set date, and he doesn't want to miss it.

Bisping is fighting Miller instead, still a tough fight for him.
