Re: MMA Discussion Thread- UFC 200 HYPE

Here is my train of thought: Wonderboy Thompson beat the steroid-junkie-Johny-Hendricks who came off quitting all those PEDS. Thompson beat a very gun-shy McDonald who wanted to go home and pet his nose.

But Thompson is overrated. A fighter who can rush in and clinch him with mui-thai and decent wrestling will crush him. Time will tell.

He could well be overrated but there's no denying that he's looking pretty unstoppable at the moment. His control of distance is among the best in the UFC. If Lawler gets through Woodley I think Wonderboy would definitely have a good chance of taking the belt from him.

Wonderboy fought a very smart fight against Rory and didn't let Rory take it to ground and dictate it from there. I'd be confident that he'd plan accordingly for Robbie too.

I am really not sure what to make of GSP targeting Bisping for his return :hmm: Although it does speaks volumes that he waited for father time to remove Silva from the MW picture instead of attempting to move up during his prime :punk2

Dana said Fedor's still a draw today. His UFC debut is imminent :vince$

I cant help but think about this amidst all the talk of GSP v Bisping. When Silva was on top GSP wanted nothing to do with him, now though suddenly he's all for MW.

Bisping would beat GSP. He's got a pretty decent size advantage, his takedown defense is very good, and I see him doing very well if the fight remains standing.

If the fight happens (which I kind if doubt) there's a very real possibility Bisping would be on a winning streak that would include wins over Anderson Silva, Luke Rockhold, and GSP. Not only that, but he would be in sole possession of the top spot in wins in UFC history.

If the GSP fight happens and he wins which I give Bisping a very good chance to do so, that'd be crazy considering he was considered done like a yer ago. It wasa common opinion that he was at the end of his career and had missed his chances to achieve greatness. He's already beat Anderson and KO'd Luke, two great MW's in a row, if he could GSP as well, holy shit!

He wouldn't win, IMO. He has good TDD but does he have GSP-good TDD? I think size wise it's a bit similar to McGregor/Diaz; on face value you'd say Diaz is the bigger guy but when you compare their frames you realise they walk around at pretty much the same. GSP is a very stocky dude and I think he'd be right at home at 185.

Update to Calderwood/Letourneau. Really rather unacceptable on Letourneau's part, IMO.
I cant see whats unacceptable here from Valerie?

GSP said the other day that he could even make Lightweight, because he's a small Welterweight. I think Bisping would definitely have a pretty good size advantage in that fight.
