I really hope Dana can make this fight happen. That being said, if (when) GSP beats Diaz, what's next for him? It's not like he'd fight Marquatdt.

GSP really should move to MW. Maybe not fight Anderson Silva right away but there's nothing left for him at WW in the UFC that would be a challenge to him.

More importantly, I can't think of anyone (after Diaz) that deserves a title shot @ WW

Despite being a let down in his most recent fights (with the exception of jabbing Koscheck's eye off), GSP is still one of my favorite fighters. I would NOT want to see him fight Spider in his first MW fight. I think Silva could embarrass him. I wouldn't mind seeing him kick the shite out of Bisping though.

GSP has talked about wanting time to put on mass the right way to go to MW. I'd agree it's not really fair to GSP to make his first fight against Silva if he's serious about a move up.

So we will need subtitles for both coaches this time around?


that's what i'm thinking. I can understand GSP much better than Diaz. Of course, every other word will be bleeped out. Diaz is trash.

We got a UFC 130 thread yet? I'm pumped. This has the potential for some very exciting fights/KOs.

I'll actually be at this card, I will try my best to find Dana and ask him to book Bisping-Belfort in Nola.

Why haven't they came here? We're (Louisiana) licensed right?

what big fights have been attached to tuf lately?


You had Jackson vs. Griffin, Mir vs. Big Nog, Henderson vs. Bisping, Evans vs. Jackson, GSP vs. Kos, and Lesnar vs. JDS.

Okami.



Okami is too big and strong for GSP's first fight at MW.

Give him someone like Leben.

I think Lesnar needs to get healthy first. Carwin is fighting JDS now.

Oh, I get it. You were trying to be funny. The fact that Lesnar dropped out doesn't change the fact that it was set up as another top fight tied up because of TUF.

i purposley picked big grapplers, brent.

they'd probably start him off with Akiyama or Stann or something if they are going to ease him into it.

GSP vs Wandy would be a big sell
