Torn vastus intermedius?

[Homicidal_Squirrel]

Yeah, I get FS1 as part of something I already had or something so it's not so bad. I wouldn't pay extra for it.

Yeah, I'd like to watch some of the fights they have on there, but you have to get a whole different line-up of other channels, and it really isn't worth it.

Did you see UFC Fight Night 32? Belfort KOed Henderson. I think it was something like a minute. I didn't go see the card, but I kind of with I had. Knockouts everywhere. Worst of all, Vitor proved that the U.S. can't even produce the best TRT. Is there anything we do well anymore?

 

[Zombie_Babies]

Nah I didn't get to see that one. They have so many damned fights now it's too hard to keep up. Half the time I just accidentally end up catching a card. Kwazy.

 

[Homicidal_Squirrel]

Yeah, that is true. It feels as if there is a card every week.Hell, this Saturday is UFC 167. We've had two UFC Fight Night cards in the last two weeks. I didn't even realize that UFC FN 32 was coming up until I checked Google News and saw some entry for the live fight blog. I could have gone to see it, but I figured most of the card would be boring (it seems I was wrong), and I only really wanted to see Belfort vs Henderson.

Still, I'm pretty excited about UFC 167. That'll be one that I'll o watch at the bar. I think if Hendrix can't get anything done in the first two rounds (and I don't think he can), GSP is going to drag him into deep water and Hendrix's weak cardio is going to fail him. GSP's cardio, striking, and wrestling are too good. I think Hendrix will tire out, and GSP may have his first finish in a couple of years.

 

[Zombie_Babies]

That sounds like a pretty decent prediction to me. GSP is gonna have to survive on his feet for a couple, too, unless he can get him down. Hendricks has huge powah.

 

[Homicidal_Squirrel]

Yeah, Hendrix has power, but he does the same thing big country does with his; just tries to throw that big punch and hope it lands. Fortunately for Hendrix, he also has good wrestling, but I don't know if it is good enough to take down GSP.

I remember reading an article with Sonnen, where Sonnen talks about GSP's wrestling. According to Sonnen, GSP has the best MMA wrestling, but not the best wrestling. Sonnen said that you don't need Olympic gold wrestling, and in fact, you can't use it in MMA because there are only a few moves that you can actually use in MMA that are effective. So while Hendrix has an amazing wrestling background, most of it is pretty useless in an MMA fight.

 

[Zombie_Babies]

Yup, GSP easily has the best MMA wrestling. Makes me think he'll take Hendricks down early to tire him out faster.

 

[Homicidal_Squirrel]

Probably. I'm guessing he will do some ground and pound for most of the fight. He might do some striking late in the fourth and maybe fifth round. Hendrix better have worked some cardio into his training camp. He is going to have a hard time taking GSP down. Hell, Koscheck and Hughes has a terrible time trying to take GSP down. I think Hughes took him down one or twice and GSP for right back up. I don't think Koscheck ever for GSP down, and Kos almost best Hendrix.

 

[Zombie_Babies]

Kos has some sick wrestling, too. I think peeps thought he'd give GSP problems because of it, too. No such luck. We'll see what kind of cardio Hendricks has. I'm guessing it won't be good enough. Then again, GSP may be beginning to come down with some Silva-itis (AKA: age).

 

[Homicidal_Squirrel]

I don't think so. GSP is 32 And Hendricks is 30. They are pretty close I'm she. Silva is 38, So yeah, fairly significant difference there. Also, I don't see GSP getting complacent.

 

[Zombie_Babies]

True, but his knee did recently explode. I don't think he'll get complacent either and his style is a little more resistant to age. Just wonder about his body. 5 round fights add up no matter how one sided a lot of 'em are.
