UFC tonight

GSP vs Serra II- This one is gonna be close. Serra took GSP apart last time, but GSP looked un-facking-stoppable in his fight with Matt Hughes. He out wrestled one of the premier wrestlers in the sport. I'm rooting for GSP.

Lutter vs Franklin- Travis Lutter is a great fighter, but Rich Franklin, is Rich Franklin. Should be a war.

These are the fights i'm looking forward to, plus hoping they show some of the undercards. Sam Stout always puts on a hell of a show.

my money is on GSP.

Matt Serra Vs. Georges St-Pierre
Serra, but not quick like last time. GSP looked sick againt Hughes, loved that match.

Travis Lutter Vs. Rich Franklin
Lutter, guy has a mean sub game. Love to see Franklin come back but not sure after Silva demolished him.

Nate Quarry Vs. Kalib Starnes
Good matchup Starnes with a submission.

Charles McCarthy Vs. Michael Bisping
Should be a brawl, but I think Bisbing is a better fighter, guessing a standup knock around.

Rich Clementi Vs. Sam Stout
Clementi is dangerous, lots of ways to take a guy out, but Stout is wiry and hits so hard. Rooting for Stout.

Sam Stout throws BOMBS. Super stoked on that one.

Bisping looked great at 185.

Lutter and Starnes were disappointing.

Superb performance from JSP.

**Cliff Huckable** · 04-20-2008, 08:01 AM

GSP was 100% dominant. Well, now we all know it was a lucky punch that won Serra their last match-up. Serra was a very good loser. GSP was amazing.

The Danzig - Bocek match was superb. What a war. Props to Bocek for massive heart (and a lot of skill - one to watch, for sure).

Quarry taunting Starnes was well-deserved, and props to the Canadian crowd for booing the Canadian and raising the roof for the awesome American - and to Quarry for making sur epeople knew he wasn't disrespecting Starnes, just the way Starnes fought this particular fight. It was one of the best ever taunts in professional sports.

GSP unloaded some vicious knees to end it. Serra should remember this fight every time he takes a pee for the next week.

Lutter looked good in the first, but ran out of gas. He was spent by the second round. Franklin even mentioned that he was known for his lack of conditioning.

Bisping was an animal. I didn't really like any of his fights at 205, he looks much better at 185.

One of the judges scored the Quarry/Starnes fight 30-26 for Quarry. THat pretty much summed up Starnes' effort in the fight.

Kenny Florian provided color for the fights as a replacement for Joe Rogan who had a family engagement. Florian did a pretty good job, he looked really comfortable behind the mike. It was a refreshing change from Rogan's "Oh my gawd, He got ROCKED!" Mauro Rannalo from Fight Network reported that Rogan would not be able to attend due to a scheduling conflict with a comedy gig, earlier this week. They also speculated that because Joe isn't shy about his pot use, that it might be a cover story for him not being allowed access into the country(Nanuq?). Now with two different stories why Joe wasn't there, that seems a bit more resonable.

I can't wait to watch Lyoto Machida destroy Tito Ortiz.

I didn't realize it was Florian, but I definitely liked him as a commentator. I like Rogan, but I have to admit that with Florian it seemed more professional somehow. The crowd was great, too. Different from both the Japanese and the American/Brit crowds. I'd give the (huge) crowd a 10/10.

As soon as they mentioned Rogan had "family obligations" I felt pretty sure something was keeping him from making it across the border.
Haven't seen Bisping's fight yet. I'm still pissed that he "won" his last fight.

Herman getting owned

McCarthy acting like an ass

Danzig's knees

Has that guy got heart/balls/pride/ancient warrior spirit - or what?! He was amazing. Can't wait to see him fight again. Those knees were killers but Bocek just wouldn't go down and kept scrambling, ceaselessly hunting for a win despite his physical condition. Awe-inspiring.

By coincidence I saw tape of an old Don Frye fight this weekend. I'm sure old school warrior Don would love this Bocek kid.

The Legendary Don Frye

**Caucasian Asian** · 04-21-2008, 12:18 PM

Don Frye is a monster.

**Theodore** · 04-21-2008, 02:03 PM

That fight w/ the Japanese Dreamboat bothers me so much... Everyone seems to love it, it's really quite pointless.

Cliff - I hear you on that. Bushido is the Japanese term.

As for me, today, I learned that over anxious partners, who don't let go when you yell tap, suck. My elbow has been on fire for about 2 hours now. That and cauliflower ear blows... and I can't take time off since I have fights in 2 weeks.
