    I really can't stand GSP as a fighter. I've tried liking him--but he's such a pansy. Fuck, I can't wait until his reign is over.

    WAR Aldo. He was dead tired though in that last round. Those knots on Homineck were fucking insane.

    Hope Randy is really done. That front kick was fucking incredible. Anderson and Lyoto are amazing.

    I think Diaz vs. GSP needs to happen. Diaz has some great stand up compared to Shields and has the ground game to keep GSP worried. I think he might possibly be able to pepper him in the stand up to a decision or late KO.

    Yeah its sad to see GSP settle for out-pointing the opponents for wins. Hard to blame a guy for doing whatever it takes to win but at the same time its a sport where excitement and finishes are at a premium. I personally value that quality and its one reason why I have never thought GSP is better than Silva.

    If I were Shields I would have took a dive in the 4th/5th round when GSP threw one of his looping overhand rights. Ideally GSP buys the fact that he rocked Shields, gets super amped that he may actually be able to finish a fight and do it in Toronto and then makes a mistake where Shields could latch a sub on him. Probably still wouldn't have worked but worth a shot. He had nothing else going for him.

    Diaz/GSP definitely needs to happen. I imagine it'll be 25 minutes of GSP wrestling and lay and praying though.

    Note to the UFC: If a guy comes out with Segal in his entourage, watch the fucking front kick.

    Definitely like to see Nick Diaz as the next challenger. It would seem Anderson Silva is off the table since GSP isn't really keen on it and it looks to be a bad match up for him anyway.

    Last night's GSP gets lit up by Nick Diaz standing but the problem with Diaz has always been his wrestling defence. GSP would control him.

    Very early this morning GSP tweeted that he had been released from hospital but still couldn't see out of his left eye. Hopefully the damage isn't serious.

    UFC 129 draws 55,724 fans for a gate of USD$12.075 million, obviously records for the UFC but not the stadium.

    Justin and Deanna Peacock got married in the Octagon prior to the event. Pretty much gives the guy a free pass to watch UFC all the time.

    Can anyone justify Jake Shields winning rounds four & five? Especially round four where he was knocked over with a head kick?

    Kind of perplexing that the judges didn't all score it 50-45. Despite GSP doing the bare minimum, Shields did less, and lost every round.

    Top five finishes at UFC 129:


    5. Jake Ellenberger punches-out Sean Pierson
    4. Ivan Menjivar rearranges Charlie Valencia's face
    3. Pablo Garza wins via flying triangle vs. Yves Jabouin
    2. John Makdessi knocks out Kyle Watson with a spinning backfist
    1. Lyoto Machida crane kicks Randy Couture's teeth out


    Thinking about it more, UFC 129 might be the best UFC show yet.

    Good to see Jason MacDonald get a classic submission win in the UFC again. His BJJ is top notch. If only he had another skill.
