re: UFC 107 Prediction/In Game Thread

Gray Maynard probably would be next in line, but he and BJ are tight so I'm not sure what happens.

UFC needs to get out and sign some new LW's or BJ will get bored and unmotivated in a hurry.

I thought B.J. would win, but I can't believe he fricked Diego up like that. The stratagy of going for takedowns by Diego was f'ng retarded. He isn't GSP. Wouldn't surprise me if B.J. talked Dana into another shot at GSP actually. He would have a shot if he could put on enough beef to deal with the size and strength.

KO of the night - TJ Grant
Sub of the night - Damarques Johnson
FOTN - Belcher/Gouveia

All got a $65K bounus

I don't think Maynard would make it out of the first round.

Last time GSP and BJ fought, BJ couldn't even get up to 170, he fought at 167. By the time fight happened, GSP was probably 185. Too much of a muscle advantage for BJ to overcome, GSP will take fight to ground every time nad out muscle BJ. BJ could actually fight at 145.

BJ will probably have to go back up to 170 before he sees another challenge. GSP is a freak at 170, smaller than only Rumble at WW (including Thiago Alves). BJ handled Matt Hughes in their 2nd fight while Hughes was still elite. Problem is, how will they ever set up a BJ fight at 170 that doesn't involve GSP?

Maynard, Edgar, Aoki, etc would get put down just like everyone else BJ has fought at 155

Maynard would get slaughtered by B.J. Only thing I can think is if they start making guys at 170 make the cut to 155 to fight B.J. Probably could get a few interesting fights that way.

no one on board with penn-aldo?

obviously pure speculation, but it would be interesting for sure

i'd love it but I don't think they've built up Aldo's name in the WEC enough yet. If he can get 2-3 title defenses where he's demolishing people and get his name to a Uriah Faber level they could pull it off IMO.

As for the guys at 155, theres really nothing there right now. I don't even know if any of the Dream guys could sign with the UFC right now, they probably have to fight in Strikeforce. Nobody is going to buy a PPV to see BJ be a -400 favorite over Edgar, Maynard or whoever thats in the 155 division now.

Might as well let him just fight non-title fights at a higher weight class like Anderson Silva started doing once he cleaned out 185. Penn vs Alves, Kos, Fitch, Hughes again would be a big draw, Hazelett, Swick something like that.

Wow.
