UFC 107

[StevieP]

107 was pretty good - cant really remember a poor fight tbh! - Unlike 108 which might be great but there really arent any fights than make you sit up and take notice! For comparison look up the UFC's year-end show last year!!!

Other than that - Mir looked class albeit against the most one-dimensional heavyweight in the UFC - by bulking up hopefully he has learned from the Lesnar fight that top class ju-jitsu just doesnt cut it against the "super-heavyweights" invading the UFC these days!
I just hope Brock comes back at close to 100% - from the sources I've read Brock has lost upwards of 50lbs during this illness and his surgery!!!

Regards to Penn - I'm not his greatest fan but as far as I can see he has "cleaned out" the division - Dana needs to go out and invest in someone like Aoki to give BJ a tougher challenge!

I hear Mariusz Pudzianowski (or however you spell it) has started MMA and won his first fight. Put BJ against him Might be a 160lb difference but BJ has fought at heavyweight before if I recall

Aoki has next to no standup Penn would beast him. Despite his Judo he hasn't transitioned it to MMA very well like Karo did so his takedowns are not great either.

He butt scoots far too often!

Aoki would get murdered against BJ, frankly. I'd rather see him fight Alvarez, Edgar, Gomi or even Maynard eventually. Don't get me wrong Aoki is awesome but Bj is a really bad matchup for him.

I agree I think BJ would kick Aoki's ass.

The thing with the takedowns is BJ has unbelievable takedown defense, his balance is amazing and his flexibility is just freaky but really helps out... he got taken down by St Pierre but then he is just a freak of nature with how his wrestling has improved over the past few years

Just watched to see what GSP was using to take him down, he took him down 4 times in the fight 2 singles 2 doubles. Twice using the cage and twice into the center of the ring.

Took him down in 2, twice in 3 and once in the 4th. BJ was tired in the fourth but I don't think tiredness played a factor in the other takedowns.

I just don't see him having an answer for Georges takedowns and top game, even if he is in better shape now.

George was also doing him on the feet even in the first, partly due to the fact he uses kicks and punches, and kept changing levels making BJ think he was going to shoot.

Did you see the fight? Its brutal, I dont think a tank could stop that man

I haven't seen it yet
Lesnar v Mariusz would be good then? Although Mariusz would be too heavy for the UFC? (think max limit is 265lbs in there but could be wrong)

I disagree. Somebody that isn't scared at the sight of him and some decent standup would annihilate him from what i saw in that fight. After every leg kick his hands were by his waist as he ran after the guy!
