UFC 167: November 16, 2013

[polandprzem]

He is not going through anything because GSP will use all his tools to keep him off balance. Johnny has never fought anyone close to GSP's level. As soon as he realizes that GSP can take him down he will get tentative with his power punching. And GSP will proceed to measure him from the outside, controlling the range.. Guaranteed.

Hmm I'm not saying anything but I quote your prediction for another of your fighters you made earlier this year

Jones will test himself on the feet here a bit with Alex just to prove he can hang and then he will take him down and wreck Alex with his amazing GNP and subs. Jones VIA round 2 submission..

• Georges St-Pierre vs. Johny Hendricks - for welterweight le
  
  Going with my gut here. Hendricks takes the belt. He's becoming a complete fighter and has ridiculous power, obviously. I think he catches St. Pierre.

• Rashad Evans vs. Chael Sonnen
  
  I can't remember the last time Evans impressed me. Totally uninspiring fighter.
  _
  
• Robbie Lawler vs. Rory MacDonald
  
  Rory continues his inevitable ascent to a le shot by smashing Lawler for 3 rounds.
  _
  
• Josh Koscheck vs. Tyron Woodley
  
  Koscheck gets the stupid knocked out of him.
  _
  
• Ali Bagautinov vsTim Elliott
  
  Haven't seen much of Bagautinov but he sounds like an impressive fighter. Should be a good warm up for the bigger names.

I think most people saw it that way.. Alex was more up to the challenge..

[polandprzem]

But that also do mean that Hendricks can live up to what he saying.

I still feel like it's unlikely, but one punch can change everything.

I can't wait for this card

[dbreiden83080]

Hendricks has been running his mouth and I think is genuinely overconfident. I expect him to go out there wanting to get that KO early which will allow GSP to weather the storm and settle in.. Just the way I see it going down. GSP will use all his tools to win..

[polandprzem]

I just wonder if GSP gonna go and jab. TriStar gym is about not losing more then winning.

All in all IMO it's gonna be fun but IDK if I will watch it live ... Whatever, I may download this in the morning and watch it as if it's live



peace Yall

Alright here we go this is one of the best cards of the year..



Welterweight Georges St-Pierre (c) vs. Johny Hendricks

One of the most dangerous and interesting fights in GSP's career. I think GSP will be able to wear Johny down with his pace and well rounded skills. GSP is the superior athlete where Johny is this powerhouse. GSP could get caught certainly but I think he will stay away from that left and win a fairly lopsided UD.. Please finish him GSP and shut up some of the haters..


Light Heavyweight Rashad Evans vs. Chael Sonnen

This is an extremely tough fight to pick. I think Rashad even though he looks past his prime has the style that will nullify what Chael does best and he should be able to outstrike Chael. That said it depends what Rashad shows up here. If the Little Nog Rashad comes to fight Chael will defeat him.


Welterweight Rory MacDonald vs. Robbie Lawler

I expect Robbie to have his usual problems with wrestlers here.. He got bye Kos but Rory is another level who likely will come in with the right game plan. UD IMO..


Welterweight Josh Koscheck vs. Tyron Woodley

Lose and get cut fight for Kos..


Flyweight Tim Elliott vs. Ali Bagautinov

Josh Koscheck vs. Tyron Woodley

Ali Bagautinov vs. Timothy Elliott

[ace3g]

I give Rafi 2 rounds before GSP takes over

[dbreiden83080]

GSP is fired up for this one he's got this ..

[ace3g]

GSP is fired up for this one he's got this ..

yeah definitely had a pep in his step during the weigh ins

[polandprzem]

GSP looked pissed on press conference as usual but on weigh-ins. Hmm strange. Looked hyped. We will see how he is gonna come out b4 the fight.



Georges St-Pierre vs. Johny Hendricks - for welterweight le
Once the fight was announced I said that it might be the easiest fight for GSP for a long time. But we will see. Johnny believes so much in him winning this that makes him so much dangerous. If he will be able to catch GSP with the punch I don't know how George will handle this. But if Hendricks not gonna do a harm for 2 rounds then he will have to win by wrestling. He is not dominant gnp though as Condit showed us.
I can't wait to see this fight.


Rashad Evans vs. Chael Sonnen
Shad is the favorite. No doubt about it. IMO he can take Sonnen down and Sonnen is not very good at defending himself on the ground. I can easy see this happening. Shad taking Chael down and finishing him with gnp. it. Sonnen is my man.

Robbie Lawler vs. Rory MacDonald
It's hard not to pick Rory. Robbie is dangerous though. But MacDonald feeds of ppl going forward.

Josh Koscheck vs. Tyron Woodley
In shape Kos will do it. He looked not that mentally ready during the weigh-ins though.

Ali Bagautinov vs. Tim Elliott
I was thinking about picking Tim in his next fight after his previous one but Ali is tough as and IMO Tim can underestimate the Russian and pay the price.



PRELIMINARY CARD (FOX Sports 1, 8 p.m. ET)

Donald Cerrone vs. Evan Dunham - last chance for Dunham to do some noise? /btw. How the Donald is able to go down to 145 as he said he will : /
Ed Herman vs. Thales Leites - Go Eddie !
Brian Ebersole vs. Rick Story - Hopefully the story of the fight will be a knockout on Brian.
Edwin Figueroa vs. Erik Perez - Who has more heart?

PRELIMINARY CARD (MMAjunkie.com, 6:45 p.m. ET)

Jason High vs. Anthony Lapsley - I'm not high on it
Vaughan Lee vs. Sergio Pettis - the bro is suppose to be as talented .. ?
Cody Donovan vs. Gian Villante - probably two of them all gonna fight

[dbreiden83080]

Hendricks weight cuts must be horrendous my god did he look sucked in and tiny on that scale..
