GSP has said quite a few times that he has a lot of friends and training partners at 185 that he would not fight. So he would NOT move to 185 to climb the ladder most likely. But he would be open to a "Super Fight", which I guess means an immediate title shot.

Yeah I took it as him vs Silva basically. As good a fighter as GSP is, he still has to prove he can defend his title. Yes he has beat the best, but he needs to show he can hold onto that title for a few fights before he should get a shot at Silva in my opinion.

Silva ate up wrestler Marquardt and olympic wrestler Dan Henderson. He survived ground master Lutter.

GSP couldn't even stand with Serra. And if hes thinking hes going to wrestle with Silva, well his whole resume is a who's who of wrestlers. Hes fought nothing but top 10 wrestlers.

Im not interested in seeing GSP go to 185, any more than I would be interested in seeing Hughes go to 185. It just makes no sense. Better men have tried and failed. Getting slaughtered by Silva would do nothing for GSP's image. He would get zero respect if he lost. It would just further tarnish his invincible jack-of-all trades aura that the UFC has built for him.

GSP has better stand-up than Rich Franklin? Bahaha. Good luck drumming up the interest for GSP-Silva. Its a freakshow.

The truth hurts. You need to do some serious soul searching and figure out why GSP should not go to 185.

[gavinrad]

When the fuck did I ever say he should go to 185? It would be interesting to say the least, but it's way too early in his career anyway.

I'm referring to the fact that you are a hypocritical piece of shit. You won't shut the fuck up about people being 'GSP nuthuggers' but you keep going on about 'GSP couldn't even stand to Serra'. Newsflash: I like Matt Serra, and was hoping he would win the fight even though I was very confident he wouldn't. He didn't try to stand with Serra. That doesn't imply that he couldn't you dumbass. Who gives a good god damn what the fuck he said he was going to do before the fight? All the shit talking in the world doesn't matter once you get in the ring, and once he got in the ring, he beat Matt Serra down like a chump.

The only thing you can go on about is all the shit talking before the fight, but the way you have apparently eaten into it so bad it makes me wonder if you are the kind of guy with no common sense or willpower of his own who hands his paycheck over everytime a salesman so much as coughs at him. You are a fucking idiot.

[jayrebb]

Yeah you sound like a real Matt Serra fan Im not even a Matt Serra "fan" and I wouldn't talk that much shit about him.

More like a GSP public relations manager.

[Araxen]

Anyone who believes anything fighters say during pre-fight shit is retarded. All the shit they say is nothing more than hyping up the fight and is meaningless. You need to quit taking the shit so personally. It just shows how retarded you are.

I bet you thought Tito and Ken really hated each other too. lol

They do, KID. Hey KID what do you mean KID? Oh sorry KID, reading too many Jayrebb posts.

Well, DREAM may be fucked. Front page on Sherdog says TBS pulled them off prime time in Japan and will air the next event in tape delay in 1 hour installments. I actually liked DREAM and think it has a ton of potential, but maybe Japanese viewers are already flooded with MMA and losing some interest.

[Araxen]

I think it's because it's on tape delay that is hurting them, but that's just my opinion.

See you in May.

Kimbo is going to be training at Elite MMA in Thousand Oaks and will be doing autographs on May 10th. I'll be there and perhaps I'll get him to write FOHMMA on his chest....

Tuco comes through, yay!

'Bout the ham, when I tore mine I had a hematoma the size of my fist right where it tore. It wasn't discolored because the bruise was below skin/fat/muscle.

His looks bad but there doesn't look like there's that much fluid accumulation, just discoloration from surface vessel damage. How did he tear it? Trauma?
