"I truly believe that if you would put Thiago Alves and BJ Penn in a fight, I would bet all my money on Thiago Alves, no doubt about it. Skill wise, he’s bringing a lot more problems to the table than everybody that I’ve fought so far. Skill wise in fighting, the best guy that I’ve fought so far," he says,
"BJ Penn, Matt Hughes, Koscheck and like all those guys… Thiago Alves has beaten those guys. So for me fighting Thiago Alves is something very exciting for me because he has beat those guys and he has beat them even in… I would say, in a better fashion that I did."

This is the fight I’m most stoked for at 100. Can’t wait for this event!

Yuppers, this is my main event for 100. Lesnar/Mur is just a bonus :)
I’m a huge GSP and Alves fanboy so I can’t decide who to root for here. I have a feeling Alves will take it by TKO stoppage for some reason.

I don’t think Alves is more skilled than Penn. Stylistically it’s a tougher fight for GSP, but Penn is more skilled than Thiago in most if not all areas of the game

Yeah I think Alves would have a harder time with Penn than GSP.

I concur.
It’s true that Alves beat many of GSP stronger opponents in a more dominant fashion. But GSP is the man and I’m sure his skills combined with the master gameplan will decide this fight.

I don’t see GSP losing this fight. It will go the distance and Thiago will gas in the third.

If that had been a right knee, Hughes might have died there.
A man should never waste an opportunity to keep his mouth shut.

I'm sort of surprised the punch didn't kill him.
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.

The first one cracked me up.
