Paid Members Egg Shen Posted February 16, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted February 16, 2011 The Tale of Count Bisping  Jorge Rivera takes trash talking to a whole new level.  I still think Bisping's going to win handily but you can't fault Rivera's attempts to get Bisping to come in and brawl with him. I'm a fan of both guys so im sitting the shelf again, but it would be pretty sweet to see the Rivera comeback roll-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted February 16, 2011 Author Paid Members Share Posted February 16, 2011 Absolutely gutted about Lytle/Condit. That was easily the fight I was most looking forward to. Â GSP/Fitch 2 or GSP/Penn 3? Â Rather have neither tbh. Â And remember it might not even be GSP holding the title if he does beat Shields and moves to 185. Â That would leave the welterweight division even more unclear imo because I can't think of any other top guy at 170 currently who could make sense to fight the Fitch/Penn winner for a vacant title. Kos,Shields would be coming off losses and Alves needs a couple of wins. Come to think of it Penn vs Alves would be sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Rick Story would have to be in contention aswell if he gets past Thiago Alves at UFC 130. Lytle aswell. Â And possibly Jake Ellenberger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Penn vs Condit? I think the fine print of this fight contract says, "If BJ wins, he's the no. 1 contender. If Fitch wins, Jake Shields gets another shot after losing to GSP." Since GSP is moving to MW, we probably don't have to worry about rematch city. The WW division is going to get really interesting after April. I think the guys that could face Penn for the title include Condit, Lytle and Alves. Actually, they would all be awesome fights.

He managed to avoid giving him a titleshot because a Strikeforce champion was willing to jump ship to the UFC. Once that fight is over & done with a victory over Penn will put Fitch way ahead of anyone else in the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless BJ beats him. Â Fitch has spoke about fighting at Middleweight, i'd be interested to see how he does there, because for me, if he beats BJ Penn, there's only really Jake Shields for him to fight at Welterweight. Jon Fitch can probably lay claim to having cleared out his division without ever winning the title (and obviously with the exception of GSP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and everyone else knows that with no GSP, a vacant Welterweight belt has his name all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
