Amazing new and fresh MMA thread.

Walls loves Faber or something like that.

MMA needs more roundhouses.

For the sake of MMA, GSP has to win his fight. If he wins, GSP fights Silva and in that time Diaz becomes top contender. After GSP loses to Silva he can fight Diaz which I think will be an amazing fight. If Condit wins, GSP doesn't fight Silva and probably gets an automatic rematch or at the very least gets an easy #1 contender fight against Fitch, which leads to the WW title getting tied up again between Condit and GSP.

I'd rather see GSP/Diaz and Jones/Cormier than either Silva fight. Jones/Silva would obviously be an incredibly intriguing match-up, but we don't need these super-fights that stall multiple divisions. Especially when WW is stacked, MW is on repair, and LHW has a wealth of talent.

If they can line things up properly, I'm all for Silva/Jones, but by the time Jones gets past Sonnen the LHW title won't have been defended against a contender in over a year. If Silva faces GSP, the MW division will be in a similar predicament.

I'm not a fighter, I'm a fan and I wanna see the best and most appealing fights possible. I say let GSP make his return on Condit, Silva face whoever UFC deems worthy, and let Jones face Sonnen. And that clears up the champs to see who goes on to face Silva in the dream matches. A year and a half ago it was GSP, now its Jones. I say whoever wind more spectacularly gets Silva. I truly believe that Silva's legacy is bigger than any MMA title right now and GSP is money in Canada, and Silva is money in Brazil.

Plus I think spiteful MMA fans would want to see Silva do to Jones what he does to everyone else, clown them. It's money and reward for everyone.

Sometimes I wish I could just book UFC cards ala WWE style. With the knowledge of who will win and who won't.

I'm just going to play fantasy booker right now. Jones/Silva, GSP/Diaz for the Welterweight title, and then throw on Rashad/Shogun in there as well. There's 1.6 Million buys right there or more.

If it's next year, and those three fights align up, then they should definitely do them. I say they can probably sell out Cowboys stadium with a card like that.

My attitude towards Silva / Jones is if Chael can takedown and hold Silva for 4.5 rounds then Jones will do the same but finish him. Then again if history's proven anything it's not to bet against Silva. Unless it was 100% his last MMA fight I can't see Silva taking a fight against Jones unless he was sure he could win, regardless of the amount of money offered to him.

Jones is probably the most dangerous guy on the ground in the entire UFC IMO. Sure, you have guys like Damien Maia and Vinny Maghaleas who are BJJ black belts, are extremely skilled in jiu-jitsu, but they don't quite have the ground and pound, and the wrestling to control a person and hold them down like Jon does.

Jon can submit people and he's proved that time and time again. And he can finish people on the ground by elbow-ing them to death. His submissions, wrestling, and elbows make him a scary mother fucker on the ground. And of course, his striking is spectacular and only getting better exponentially. I think Jon has a better chance at beating Silva with every passing day that the fight does't happen.

Should probably clarify my statement. I meant that once someone has Mount on you it's hard to get them off of you and sub them. Not that you could sub them from the bottom while they have Mount on you. Although, if you were able to swing your legs up under the guys arms and pull him backwards like that you could grab a leg and slap on a Leg Lock but that would be hard as fuck to do.

Chris Weidman lost his home during Hurricane Sandy.

Ryan Bader tweeted... "Thoughts go out to @ChrisWeidmanUFC & his family. Lost his home in the storm on the east coast. Please show him your support,"

You really should, it's an amazing skill to have. I've gotten pretty good relatively quickly because I'm completely and utterly obsessed with it. I soak shit up like a sponge and went in there with absolutely zero ego. I've been rag dolled, destroyed, owned and choked unconscious a gang of times now, it's very humbling which is great for keeping your ego in check. I've gotten to the point now where I can tap a lot of people and it's one of the best feelings in the world. It's also fantastic for self defense and gives you a giant confidence boost. I know that unless a guy is ridiculously bigger than me or has great stand up, odds are I can drag that bitch to the ground and he's fucked. I highly recommend it.

Apparently Big Nog/Werdum will be coaching season two of TUF Brazil. Whoop dee fucking doo. Couldn't care less.


Aldo/Edgar is also booked for UFC 156. Should be interesting to watch Aldo beat the shit out of Edgar.

Thanks dude. Some good tips. I've always been into Jiu-Jitsu, and I wanted to do it so much this summer, but work, rugby, and my regular workouts kept me busy. Plus the closest BJJ place was like half and hour away. Ever since I started watching MMA, I wanted to do Jiu Jitsu cause it's just so intriguing and seems so much fun to roll around and perform submissions. Or just the way some transitions are performed are so awesome.

I watched a couple Bas Rutten videos, but that's about it. I can extremely shittily perform armbars and triangles, but I'm convinced I don't do them the right way, which is fine. I'm extremely excited for all this. And thanks for the advice on worms and staph. They seem fucking scary. Definitely will try to do all I can do avoid those.

Would rep you if I could, but I have to spread some before I give back to you
