crazy news about GSP, that little triange of fighters is mental (GSP, Diaz, Condit) those guys are being put through the ringer.

 

As much as i wanted to see GSP/Diaz and for me a fight between the legit no.1 & no. 2 guys in the world, i do feel that Condit/Diaz will be a better fight.

GSP... damn! Haven't really enjoyed his recent fights, but to lose his star power at a time when it's crucial for UFC to make a huge impression really sucks. :( Apparently Anderson is out till June with a shoulder injury as well, although I don't know if that means he will be able to fight in June or start training in June for a fight. Bad times, hopefully Lesnar wins against Overeem and stays healthy as the UFC's cash cow/draw.

I taped that Ultimate Challenge MMA last night. It was an ok show, nothing special by any means, though any MMA on TV over here is appreciated. There was afew decent knockdowns and KO's. They appear to have a curious set of rules whereby some fights are contested under MMA rules and others as K1 type rules. Bit strange.

 

If there is 1 thing I hate about MMA in the UK though, it's this chavvy, 'geezer' type of image that seems to go hand in hand with it. My local company is OMMAC in Liverpool and i've only been twice, mainly due to the dickheads in the crowd. It's a mix of people who dont have a clue about martial arts and just want a fight and massive juicers that do it between their doorman job. Thank God for BAMMA that takes it out of the 'underground fight club' stereotype and presents it as an actual sport.

GSP is scared homie ;)

Agreed 100%. GSP vs Diaz would have been nice for the big fight feel and just to see it finally haooen. Diaz vs Condit is gonna be 10x the fight GSP/Diaz or GSP/Condit would have been imo.

 

I read the first few replies and I can understand people wanted to see GSP vs Diaz but I'm actually chuffed with this news. Diaz vs Condit is probably the fight I wanna see most at 170 at the moment. The fact it's a title fight just sweetens the deal. Can't fucking wait.

 

Wonder who Koscheck will fight now?

He'll never fight Fitch. They're proper bum boys. Kos said something like "I'd rather leave the sport than fight Fitch". Awww.

 

I hope it's not Wandy. As awesome as Wandy KOing Kos would be I think this would look like Kos/Daley and I really dont wanna see that at this point in Wand's career.

 

Maybe Koscheck vs Ebersole if he gets by Claude Patrick injury free? Kos vs Rory would have been nice. Or even Kos vs BJ. But they're not gonna happen anytime soon.

I can see them matching up Kos with Kampmann. He's gotta be happy GSP is out as it keeps him relevant at 170.

I'd love for them to bring Daley back right about now too.

 

Kampmann's fighting Alves in March. Agreed on Daley. If I was them I'd switch it up and go with Kos vs Kampmann and Alves vs Daley.
