I think I'd rather see Edgar fight BJ.

" Has Forest Griffen fought since he got embarrassed? "

" @Korg: Sweet, I'll take any chance I get to see Tito get beaten up again. lol "

I loved that fight. Almost came up out of my seat at home cheering.

" Who can stop BJ in the LW division? "

" @Korg: No LW in all of MMA can stop him? "

I think a few people can at least last a decision with him.

I meant no one has been able to so far. I don't see Maynard or Edgar going the distance with him either. Who do you think could decision him? "

"I'm talking outside of UFC :)  I think Tatsuya Kawajiri can take him to a losing decision. "

Frankie Edgar is getting the next UFC Lightweight title shot.

Awesome, BJ Penn destroys another wrestler!

" How you guys feelin bout Silva vs. Belfort? "

" I got this feeling that Belfort is gonna beat Anderson. "

I feel like April is way too long to wait for this fight.

Good, maybe Coleman will actually win.

Reminder that The Best of PRIDE starts tonight on SPIKE TV at 10PM. Recommended viewing for anyone who reads this thread.

" @King Saturn: Why do you think that, when the first match was so close, with many people arguing Shogun should have won (including one of the judges, after the fact)? "

" thats the reason why... Shogun put it to Machida in his first Title Defense... but I think Machida will have something different for Shogun... he will keep his Title in Convincing Fashion this time... Machida knows he didnt really win his first Title Defense in a convincing fashion at all... so I expect him to come much harder this time...  "

Fair point. Do you think Shogun will not have a similar dedication? He looked the best he ever has against Machida (IMO), and now he's probably pissed, on top of everything. Any way you slice it, this should be a great fight. "

true enough... Shogun will be geared up even harder for the rematch... but that could play into Machida's hands... Shogun may looked to do a little too much thinking he needs the KO or Sub for the win this time for certain... and as elusive as Machida is Shogun could play right into Machida's counter attacks...  "

I don't think its going to be as easy asthat considering the caliber of fighters he has fought and more important Won against....i.e..  Alistair Overeem, Chuck Lidell,  Rampage Jackson,  Antonio Nogueira.   I will be surprised if shogun loses this fight just as I was the last time they fought and apparently I wasn't the only one. "

I  think WEC should replace their lightwieght class with a flyweight class.

i think he will quite easily, i mean vitor like to rush and throw punches, he does rack some power in both of his hands with accuracy but silva's reach, accuracy and timeing as well as his foot and head movement seems to be quite undefeatable for now at least "

yup, i don't know why he doesn't unify the light heavyweight belt, maybe dana doesn't want him too but i think he should be able to win that division as well, he is basically just a complete better version of chuck during his prime with better ground game imo "

Silva and Machida are good friends, and Silva considers 205 to be Machida's division. They have both said that they would not fight each other. "
