MMA November - Anderson The Turkey is Ducking Chael. What a Chicken.

Yeah Vila lost. He won the first round easily with a couple of nice take downs, but he got out grappled in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. I really like him too and was rooting for him, but he has to know what to do if his take downs aren't working which was what caused him to lose last night.

Sad to hear about Huerta losing, he was on top of the world a few years back and now he's pretty much done after being taken out by War Machine and dropping 4 of his last 5 fights. Hopefully he can get back on that horse, I always thought of him as being older but he's only 28 so he has plenty of time to work.
It is interesting to see how some guys just hit a mental wall that seems to destroy their confidence and self belief, just a shame it happened to an exciting fighter with great potential but I guess he's still young enough to crawl his way back to the top so let's hope he does.
But congrats to War Machine, let's see if he can avoid trouble and build a respectable career within his sport and a reputable life outside of it, though I am apprehensive to anyone's cause who's done the shit wARMACHINE had done.

I ride with Gomi no matter what, and I always have the utmost faith in my favorite fighters, but man... if the fight hits the ground, then Gomi is fucked. Hopefully though he fights smart, because his wrestling should be far superior to George's. The only problem Gomi has is when he gets overly excited or desperate, which leaves him gullible for the takedown. But if he can keep the fight standing while picking his punches wisely, he should either knock George's ass out or win a decision.
Here's hoping for the best. It's win or die for Gomi.

I don't think Soti has anywhere near the wrestling or striking to deal with Gomi. Sot is a great grappler and would certainly tap Gomi if it went to the ground, but he doesn't have wrestling at all. Couple that with his questionable chin and I have Gomi winning this.
144 is a stellar fucking card, holy shit.

Gomi FTW, Sots won't get him down and Gomi will outpoint him. Gomi by TKO.

Has a pretty good dick.
Sot can most definitely get him down, y'all are tripping hard. He didn't get Siver down who has underrated takedown defense and was planning on having to use it a lot against George. Since when has Gomi gone into a fight with a game plan? Don't get me wrong, I'm pulling for Gomi here but I'm not letting my inner fanboy confuse me. George's shots are garbage but if he can tie Gomi up against the cage and use his judo than he most definitely will get him down.
Am I the only one who would like to see Okami lose to Boetsch?

Gomi's takedown defense used to be spectacular (watch his fight against Kawajiri to see what I mean), and I still think it's pretty good. I mean, yeah... Florian and Guida took him down, but that was when Gomi was in desperation to land a punch. If Gomi fights like he did against Tyson Griffin, with that low stance and all, I don't see how Sot gets him down. You can say pin him against the fence, but Gomi's speed and strength is also underrated.
I couldn't care less about that fight, to be completely honest.
Well, Chris Leben's career is over. After failing the UFC 138 drug test, he got a one year suspension from the UFC. The guy needs serious help. He's fucked up over and over in his career. I was never a fan, but it certainly sucks when somebody cannot clean up.

Goddamn it really? Wow, I always liked him as a fighter but after countless fuck ups I don't think I can back him here, I though he had been straight since the Simpson fight but he just fucked himself for the last time. It's a shame because he's such a beast in the cage but he's just lost the last of his 9 lives.

Yeah at one point his take down defense was great...but we all know we aren't dealing with the Gomi of old. He relies on those overhand bombs far too much now. He used to at least set them up but doesn't anymore. He could very well land one on G-Sot and put him to sleep, it wouldn't surprise me one bit. I just don't see it happening as much as I see George trading as little as possible before tripping him and raping him on the ground.
Well yeah, I'm in the same boat. I would only care about the outcome (even if it's in the slightest) if Okami loses. I don't like watching him at all.
Definitely a possiblity. Gomi gets frustrated by fighters who don't exhange, so Soti could definitely tie Gomi up against the cage, wait for him to take a stupid risk and get him to the floor. But if Dos Anjos could KO Soti with a weak hook Gomi could brutalize him. Let's hope.

After looking at some of the 144 press pics, I kind of had a weird feeling about Akiyama vs Shields. When it was first announced I was thinking Sexy should start packing his bags now. Seeing them size each other up though, I think Akiyama has a better shot than any think. He has great take down defense, good control from both top and bottom. His cardio will still be the biggest issue but I give him the edge standing. I think if he can avoid the ground with Shields and maybe get a takedown at the end of each round he could very well win a decision.
