Re: UFC 107: Penn vs. Sanchez (Dec. 12th) probably cause he's sponsored by them. actually wait, I think GSP is the only MMA fighter to have been sponsored by Under Armour so far.

I love how Diego's mean mug evaporated like 60 seconds into the fight and didn't come back. I also love that he told BJ to meet him in the centre of the Octagon then when it started he backed off.
Diego got absolutely tooled. There is no one in the world that is stopping BJ @ 155 and probably only a select few...or one...@ WW.
Re: UFC 107: Penn vs. Sanchez (Dec. 12th) I'd NEVER count Penn out of any fight. EVER... Almost everyone doubted Penn and many of my buddies were throwing it in my face that Nightmare would completely out work PENN. Looks like the haters can keep on hating... I was the only one cheering at the end of the fights. LOL... They had nothing to say from the opening minute to the final bell.
Re: UFC 107: Penn vs. Sanchez (Dec. 12th) Seemed like Penn was going about half speed for most of the fight and still dominating. Turned it up the last few rounds and finally finished Sanchez. Its getting really, really tiring hearing the UFC hype machine keep telling me that so-and-so up and coming fighter is BJ Penn/GSP/Anderson Silva's "toughest test yet". Nice to see Mir punk Kongo too. I'm a Mir fan but I think Kongo is cool too. But damn Mir at 265 lbs? Dude is going to wreck shop on any heavyweight in his path until he gets to Lesnar. And even then if they both came in at 265 would Lesnar really be the favorite? Guy's obsessed with beating Brock lol.
Mir is a beast. Many hate on him because of his mouth, but in this fight he absolutely silenced his critics. Not even Congo knew what happened. Mir at a "LEAN" 265 is downright scary...
man, Diego was busted up BAD! pretty much what I thought would happen. I don't know why anyone would think the Nightmare was gonna beat Penn is any aspect in the cage. I mean, did Diego think he was really gonna outstrike Penn after being terrible standing up for so long and only starting to come around in that department?
As I mentioned earlier, all my friends were for Nightmare...lol.. Im the only one who came out smiling. They didnt even say a word from opening minute to the final bell...
At this moment, somewhere on the internet, somebody is posting a thread about how the fight was stopped prematurely, and Sanchez got hosed.
UFC 100 was better off the top of my head. Well I guess BJ's hand's were lightyears ahead of Diego's, no one else will come close to beating BJ at 155, Not Aoki who has zero hands and zero chance of getting it to the ground for more than 20-30 seconds before BJ stands back up, nor anyone else from DREAM/Sengoku. BJ is the absolute best at 155 bar none. I still think he coulda ended it early, he coasted for the 2nd and 3rd rounds taking what Diego presented to him Dang, what a razor thin loss for my man Paul, I thought he may have gotten the last 2 rounds. Still a pretty damn good fight IMO. good to see the Halifax boy win and get a Bonus. and Trench, LOL at anyone who was confident that Diego would definitely win.
