And as far as tomorrow night: GO GSP!!! I frickin love that guy. An absolute stud. One of the things I love about him is how honest he is (or at least seems). In the 2 Spike specials this week (countdown & all access) he said he wasn't going to take Serra lightly, and one can't help but believe him. The only way Serra gets out of the 1st round is if GSP does take him lightly. Yes, Serra has the better ju-jitsu, but GSP is still bigger and stronger and I truly hope that he holds onto that belt for quite a while. At this point, I don't even see Sanchez or Koscheck having a snowball's chance in hell of beating him. But maybe that's the Canadian pride in me talking.
As for the rest: I think Sanchez in the late 2nd by TKO, Okami via decision & Hearing via KO in the mid 3rd.

I agree that Joe's done nothing but impress, but I just think right now, he's too over-confient and I think Sherk is too good to get caught in one of Joe's submissions.
Like I've noted before, I'm not very knowledgable on Pride fighters (though I believe there's a card on Sunday that I'll have to download and watch on Monday), but I've heard lots about Gomi and from what I hear, he would be a good one to bring in, fight with Joe Daddy and have the winner fight Sherk.

Interesting that you think Stevenson is over confident. I don't really get that sense at all. He seems to be one of the more humble guys in MMA. I mean after giving Melvin Guillard a clinic he could have easily talked a ton of trash on Melvin but instead took the high road. Really impressive. What maeks you think he's over-confident?
Also, I think that if Gomi fights in the UFC he'll probably fight Sherk right away since he is Pride's LW champion(even though he's lost twice in non-title bouts). Or they'd feed him a can so the UFC fans get an idea of who he is before they throw him in with Sherk. I don't think they'd give him as tough a matchup as Joe Daddy.
He's not the main event, I'm the main event. He made the main event because he's fighting me.
Mentally, physically, I think there's a lot of things that I'm going to be better than him at.
These don't sound like the words of a humble man to me. It was also funny to hear Stevenson talk (in the pre-fight clips) about Guillard's cockiness, when IMO, he's just as bad.
Granted, he's nowhere near as cocky or overconfident as Hughes, but to me, he doesn't seem that far off.

Doesn't seem very cocky to me. I think his actions after the fight speak for itself. He could have easily talked trash on Guillard after handing him his lunch and didn't. Seems like a nice guy to me.
Personally I'm real excited about the next year or so in MMA. Hopefully all the guys that we want to fight will finally be able to. I'm hearing rumors over at Sherdog about Fedor and Bodog and Wanderlei not coming over. . .but I gotta believe they're not true.
As for this weekend. . .I'll be surprised if Serra can make it much of a fight. He's got heart, but GSP is just so damn good. I can't see Serra beating him really. I AM excited about the Koscheck Sanchez fight. I really don't like either of them, but I've NEVER liked Sanchez. Can't deny his talent, but it's the attitude that kills me. I just hope the two of them beat the hell out of each other and Sanchez loses. Should be a good fight though.
While this card is a little underwhelming. . .next UFC should be ridiculous. Aside from all the fights that are on it. . .the damn thing is free. Can't beat that at all.

I'll admit that he does seem sincere in that interview. So I'll retract my cocky comment, but for whatever reason he still seems over-confident to me. I believe that the pre-fight talk says as much about one's character as the post-fight talk. I'll all for believing in your own abilities, but with Stevenson, it seems to me like he "believes his own hype". But I'm sure he's a nice guy outside the cage.
No kidding! He kind of got lucky and I think Serra knows it...
The Sanchez fight was TOTALLY RETARDED!!!!!!!!!!
Lucky perhaps, but lets give the guy some credit. He wasn't afraid to get inside GSP's reach and he finished GSP when he had him hurt.
I'm not a big fan of Diego so I'm happy to see him lose. But I always respected him. After tonight I no longer respect Diego. He knew he was losing in the third round and instead of fighting like a mad man to preserve his record he pussied out and didn't take any risks. No heart from Diego, especially after all that trash talk.
It was a boring fight, but Koscheck fought a good technical fight and he should get credit for doing so.

Agreed. It was definitely a good UFC event overall, barring the Sanchez/Koscheck fight which was downright frustrating!
