Can't wait to see Cruz kicking ass for free

They could have easily doubled him vs Johnson up with Jones vs Rampage…but they didn’t…the fact that he is one of my favorite fighters and is a UFC champion makes him fighting on free TV even more awesomer.

i honestly think Bisping beats Chael.

Other than Vitor, The Count has the best boxing at 185. I would even go on a limb and say its better than Vitors to some extent. Much more technical and fluent.

by pridedaze09 on Sep 21, 2011 11:00 AM EDT via mobile reply actions  

I’d like to see that fight. Bisping’s takedown defense has gotten a lot better, but I think Chael would blanket him for three rounds.

I’m not sure how well that boxing would serve him in any of the situations Chael is capable of putting him in. Chael’s crazy driving power double usually leaves opponents either stuck on their back or stuck against the fence. Two situations where good boxing isn’t really that helpful.

by Pyrgz Krum on Sep 21, 2011 11:05 AM EDT up reply actions  

err...

How about #1 P4P — and occasional pro boxer — Anderson Silva? You know, the guy Chael drilled into the mat for 24ish minutes?

Unless Chael is really weakened by coming off the TRT, I don’t see that fight as being remotely close. Bisping on his back getting hammered on for 15 minutes. 30-27 all day.

by OmoPlata on Sep 21, 2011 12:30 PM EDT up reply actions  

First of all, Chael beats up Bisping.

Second, if Dan Henderson, the guy who looks for the same goddamn punch for three rounds, can flatten Bisping, Vitor absolutely owns him on the feet. At least he’s less predictable

i think Bisping could catch a submission.

I hear a lot about his underrated ground game. Wouldn’t mind seeing it put to use. He has been able to shrug of a lot of good wrestlers. Rashad was probably the most sucessful, other than Hendo Tea Party.

by pridedaze09 on Sep 21, 2011 11:08 AM EDT via mobile reply actions  

Who has he ever subbed?

His ground game isn’t shit, but it also isn’t exactly good, let alone something he’s going to use offensively. He has solid defensive jits (he isn’t going to be subbed by anyone not absolute top tier) and is good at getting back to his feet when taken down, but has no real offense off his back.

by Hummus5989 on Sep 21, 2011 12:59 PM EDT up reply actions  

He might be able to sub some of the low level guys he fights

but no way hes subbing miller or anyone at top of division. I’d be surprised if he caught Chael in one too.

You seem to have misunderstood my post.

The first shot of her pointing at her training partners butt could easily be photoshopped by someone else to look like she is putting something into her training partners butt. That would be embarassing for her. As a person who is developing a public image she might want to be careful about what images she tweets.
