Rockhold in the 4th via handsome

Just saw this on Instagram...GSP.

Pretty impressive. What is not impressive...the rest of his instagram. Is he gay?

not a single woman in any of his photos

But plenty of pics of him shirtless in aquatic environments with his arm around dudes.

I think Weidman in the 3rd by a barrage of elbows.

I'm worried about Rockhold's length and reach with his kicks if I'm in Weidman's corner.

I'm not sure that Rockhold can eat Weidman's punches and survive. Neither are elite at boxing I think Weidman's a little more durable in the pocket. If Rockhold can keep distance, which I don't believe he'll be able to as Weidman's too clever and deceptively quick. I see Weidman controlling the cage and letting Rockhold come to him as Weidman circles in on him closing off the cage.

If Weidman waits for Rockhold to give an opening for a takedown, it'll probably be a long night, a boring fight, and go to judge's decision. I don't think Rockhold is going to take many risks as a couple good shots could shut off his lights.

It'll be interesting to see if the both come out aggressive or if one of the two decides to play counterpuncher and tries to wear the other one down.

Rockhold's gas tank is likely a little better, while Weidman is likely able to withstand more punishment.

The wild card are the headkicks. I could see Weidman throw a couple to throw Rockhold off.

Like Rory was walking through Lawler. Fights aren't always who has the cutest muscles.

Weidman is tough and can take a shot. If Rockhold beats him I think it will be by sub.... not that I think subbing Weidman will easy.

By who?


It's odd to say, but I don't think a lot of guys are ready for Robbys toughness. Coupled with his power and experience he's a tough out for anyone

rockhold or weidman could go either way. both are some bad mf's.

I was definitely wrong about Robby. Still can't believe how badly he destroyed Rory. I do think he is a weak champ though, and will get beaten very soon.

Weak? He has won 5 round wars against against some of the toughest guys in the sport (Matt Brown, Hendricks, and Rory). I understand he is old and probably won't hold the title for an extended period of time, but weak champ he isn't (whatever the hell that means anyway).

yeah I dont agree on lalwer. dude is tough as shite. that big arse holyfield head he got is indestructible.
