UPDATE [from Luke Thomas]: If you aren't watching the ESPN weigh-in analysis with Jon Anik, Kenny Florian and Frank Mir you are seriously depriving yourself of the some exceptional work. One of the biggest problems with MMA analysis in the media is that much of comes from smart and capable if untrained analysts. The creates a monster vacuum for fighters - and truly outstanding fighters - who can actually discuss matters from the inside. With Mir and Florian, you get smart, crisp analysis from both thought and experience. They've been in the training room, they've cut the weight, they've gone to the third round, they've fought in the UFC and the list goes on. The combination of ESPN's structure, pacing and polish with Mir's/Florian's ability to defty provide meaningful and clean analysis is a true breath of fresh air.

I think he said he was 172 at the press conference. I would guess a full 170 today.

Let me go to my handy-dandy UFC 94 in Links to find the link …. and, yes, he said 171.

Yeah...
with it being a title fight doesn’t he have to come in at 170 on the nose? Or am I remembering my rules wrong for title fights?

He’d have to be at 170…

So I watched the weigh ins on my laptop for no reason, then.
Oh well. The ESPN broadcast was actually really good. Aside from the video quality, of course.

Frank Mir is back on MMA Live!
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
The page won’t load for me. Dang.

Is it just me..
Or is Mir still underrated? I think he has a good chance to beat lesnar again. He;s younger and still improving, like brock
As long as heis cardio holds up he makes my top 4-5 HW.
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
unfortunately...
frank’s cardio still a mystery
It is at the top of the hour
They are doing 30 minutes of MMA Live lead in. Kenny and Mir are doing an excellent job as commentators. Coming off very professional. GJ guys. Mir you should retire now and just broadcast fulltime
Gimme 1 Round!
Yeah why make a few mill when he can do MMA live?
Sarcasm aside, they are both great in their roles.

You're supposed to retire on top
Beating a horrible looking Nog and possibly Lesner will be the greatest things he ever accomplishes in the ring. May as well leave at his peak.
Gimme 1 Round!
Howard's strength: "Heart"
Awesome.
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
He's really short too, So I will hereby refer to him as Black David Eckstein, or Blackstein for short.

speaking of Tito...
Did anyone hear what Tito said after Fedor won?
“Well It’s an early Fourth of July”
What does that mean?
well it didn't work really
Tito’s an enigma
Tito had no idea.

hm.
I thought Tavares would have fared better than he has
by the way
where did they get those chairs?
I like how he shook Lorenzo’s hand, held it, and turned to the camera while still holding it.

BJ has the option of Florian or Alves if he wins.
And Wand is dropping to 185.
Rampage is #1 contender… regardless of Lyoto vs. Silva.
Maybe he’ll get a shot at a top five guy after (if) he beats Silva.

Machida will lose one fight and then get dropped….LOL.
Who could really not see that happening? Really?
by MMASuPreMaCy on Jan 30, 2009 7:02 PM EST up reply actions
Don’t worry too much. If Lyoto wins, he will have a big fight next. Probably against someone like Forrest or another big star.
by Michael Rome on Jan 30, 2009 7:03 PM EST up reply actions
Maybe the winner of Liddell/Rua.

BJ will go after Alves so he can continue to make his case to face Silva. He will probably drop the LW title.

What they need to do:
MMA Live in-studio: Jon, Kenny, Frank

kk, we’re done here.

Streaming to my 52"
Samsung from my PC to my PS3 FTW!!!! Zoomed in, looks pretty damn good for a pc live stream too! :D
You set that up to watch K-1 Dynamite?
My buddy doesn’t even have cable he just uses Netflix and torrents from his computer to his TV
Gimme 1 Round!
Nah
First time I did this was for UFC 93. Looks and sounds great cuz of the suround sound. :) This is how I watch MMA Live every week now. Its pretty damn easy since the PS3 has a web browser and supports flash.

I’m sorry, but Inside MMA should be embarrassed that MMA live showed up and surpassed them so quickly in terms of a quality show.
The only thing of real value on Inside MMA is the highlights from smaller shows, but even that pisses me off because they only shoot one take and it always sounds like it’s the first time Bas and Kenny have seen the fight.
HAHA
The UFC is probably gonna kill that dude for mentioning Affliction on their broadcast
Gimme 1 Round!
Could Manny have possibly worn more clothes?
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.

Look at Lyoto trying to win fans
He knows hes got to get the title shot finally lol
im not impressed with your performance
I know. I don’t get all the money going BJ’s way when he looked soft as hell a week before the fight.
by Michaelthebox on Jan 30, 2009 7:22 PM EST up reply actions
He's somewhere in between, he doesn't look awful
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
GSP is gonna kick his ass!
Wow… BJ has already lost.
I'm just a dude who's trying to put it together.
BJ looked soft and obviously didn't take training seriously
I don’t know if I should waste my time on this card anymore. Probably only watch for Machida now.
Gimme 1 Round!
Well I'll watch hoping Fitch Gono makes the card
But GSP will crush BJ even worse than I predicted before. Maybe first round laugher
Gimme 1 Round!
BJ is gonna gas in the first round
He’ll have to KO GSP in the first 30 seconds cause he’s gonna be laboring a minute in.
Gimme 1 Round!
nevermind
I see you are in the realms of nuthuggery
Doubt it.
It will probably be a 3 round fight and will not be shown.
by MMASuPreMaCy on Jan 30, 2009 7:32 PM EST up reply actions
Fedor is actually strong though
I’ve seen footage BJ in the gym… He lifts what 8th grade womens basketball player puts up
Gimme 1 Round!
okay
I see you hate Penn and want to ignore facts
I get it.
Best of luck to you and Gsp tomorrow

Karo didn't look "soft" he looked like he didn't have to cut weight. :|
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
Hendo doesn't have to cut to 205
but he’s still in shape. BJ and Karo were both fat in terms of the fighter game. Manny Pac didn’t have to really cut to make 147 – did you see what he looked like?
Gimme 1 Round!
Thats true
But if you’re fighting another great fighter – the one that comes in to the fight in shape will dominate the fat one. Sometimes the in shape garbage fighter will beat the out of shape great fighter. See Rahman vs Lewis
Gimme 1 Round!
BJ Penn = mini Fedor.
You’re on overdrive trying to convince your fragile psyche that GSP is going to win. Calm down.
Its over, cyph.
Bj is scared and nervous. LMFAO!!!!

Home Theater in a Box. The micro speakers and the under powered receiver doesn’t have enough juice for earth shattering sound your set up demands.
Actually, the only ones who seem to be scared and nervous are the GSP fans. They’re really over the top right now.
Ohhhh
I see. lol Yeah it was a gift from my father-in-law last Christmas. I mean its 1500 watts and it sounds pretty damn good too. The reciever is not your skinny little rinky dink reciever that usually comes with those. Its huge. I have a pretty big living room and the walls shake when I crank it up on an action movie or whatever. Like, on the beginning of Transformers where you here Optimus Prime “Before time began. There was….the cube…” and on to when they destroy the base. That shit vibrates nasty :) RAWR!!!!! lol
by xFenixKnightx on Jan 31, 2009 9:25 AM EST up reply actions
Trust me, it’s not 1500 watts. They’re notorious for faking it and multiplying it per speaker. Most low end receivers distort badly when it approaches zero. It also loses power quickly when you hook up more than 3-4 speakers. The vibration is distortion; good sound should be clean. However, if you’re a audio-phile along with techno-phile, your wife will not be pleased with your new found knowledge.
My Denon 2808 is rated at 110 watts per channel and it’s $1200 MSRP (although I got it for a steep discount). Denons never advertise it as a multiple of speakers and it’s always in RMS, speced before distortion (it’s capable of much higher output with distortion). Of course, with the receiver, you’ll need standing speakers as well…
Dang
You know your stuff. Well it gets the job done and I didn’t pay for it so I guess thats all that counts. Later on Ill upgrade so my frames and pictures can fall off teh walls? lol Right now Im focusing on new furniture not more electronics. This is a new house we had built by David Weekly Homes and I wanted my TV and all that first so now my wifes getting her turn.

Were the weigh-ins held in Montreal?
Sure felt like it.
Diaz vs. Guida staredown was funny
by I Can't Feel My Face on Jan 30, 2009 7:28 PM EST reply actions
If I remember correctly BJ weighed in at 166 for the hughes fight and the first GSP fight…
If my memory is correct then this does not bode well for the prodigy… It doesnt look like he added muscle mass.
Beer bonging burritos
is good training for a battle with Kobeyashi but not such good for training for a fight with GSP
Gimme 1 Round!
