Hopefully he can stop some GSP takedowns and at least make it a striking match for a while.

GSP will dominate him here though

he's made himself into a great wrestler and all, but his initial bread and butter was his striking

This is our best hope but I'm not counting on it though.

i think GSP is too big for kos

i think kos is an elite 2nd-level guy at 170

GSP is a better striker for sure but Kos has KO power and GSP is overrated as a striker and might go mental if having to strike is dictating to him by someone else not just him choosing when to punch a tired guy with swollen shut eyes he's been GNPing for 15 minutes that can't even hold their hands up anymore.

It wouldn't make sense for the UFC, but I would love to see A. Silva vs Jon Jones.

Lil Nog would probably get a title shot if he wins a couple more fights also especially if Shogun is still champ so they can rematch. THere first fight was a war and Nog outstruck him.

One of the best things to come out of last night is the door being wide open for the spider to move to 205 full time as a title contender. Even though he was in chute box, he doesn't seem to be close to any of those guys now.

i respect GSP but i'm not his biggest fan

i think he'll plan on having to strike with kos, even though he dominated the shite out of him on the ground last time

i dont. I think he'd go for takedowns to start the fight against Jake Shields at this point.

Jake shields is maybe the only fighter at 170 (worthy of a title shot) that gsp should just stand with.

That explains why Dan Henderson spent 4 rounds on his back.

What do you think Big Dan tells him at the end?

i'm pretty sure that the diaz brothers tried to send a death threat, threatened the wrong dan henderson, and weren't able to figure out how to work a cell phone until after shields almost had his head beaten in.

It was my anniversary last night, so I had to watch the fights this morning. I kept my phone turned off for like 14 hours, making to avoid all contact with my friends.....

FINALLY after, 5 years, Shogun gets the belt he's deserved. I was elated, as Im sure most hard core MMA fans were. Its about fricking time
