I hope somehow Hendricks can knock GSP out. I'm sure it'll be another boring ass 5rd fight

I agree. Most likely it will be 5 rounds of GSP holding him down. He claims to be ready to finish Hendricks though. I know one thing, if Hendricks touches GSP with his left hand it will be a short fight.

I'm looking forward to Lawler and McDonald too. I hope Lawler knocks that arrogant prick into next week!

Typical GSP fight. He doesn't finish fights so it's left to judges to fuck it all up. Those morons at the commission use the same judges for MMA as they do boxing. Their using a point system that doesn't work and judges who don't know shit about MMA. The commissions needs to get their shit collective shit together before they ruin this sport too!



On the upside, Dana White announced the March card will be here in Dallas. We should go!

During the match when they display significant strikes/takedowns etc. I think it would be cool if they had a stats breakdown at the end of matches. Much like the pre-fight analysis. Last I saw, though GSP was cut up, he was still ahead on strikes and takedowns by 30%. Cut's and blood doesn't mean you win. I'm on the fence with the fight, myself.

The 10 point system is garbage and shouldn't apply to mma. The 10 point system ruined boxing and is beginning to do the same thing to MMA.

MMA is about damage, not stratgically placed takedowns, holding someone down to "control" the fight. Scoring rounds a 10-9 in some of these fights is a fucking travesty! When a guy is getting dominated he shouldn't be kept in the fight because of rules from boxing scoring it that way.

Also, the rules the way they are automatically favored heavily in the way for wrestlers. Controlling/holding someone down is not winning a fight simply because they aren't fighting. It's stalling not to mention miserably boring to watch.

To add that, a lot of people fail to notice that some of the best submission guys in the world aren't even bothering with the UFC/MMA and that is directly because of the boxing rules that governs MMA. Most judges have ZERO martial arts experience and have no idea what they are looking at. Hell, a lot of fans don't even get what they are looking at when it comes to the submission part of mma. They don't understand the chess match that is occurring. The ONLY way judges seem to score for a submission guy is if he is on top striking. Which takes out half of the game working from the bottom. There is no consideration of for working off the back or multiple submission attempts setting them up, executing etc.

Nope, it's still all Neanderthal boxing style judging and rules. If MMA has done anything since it's inception it had proved how in adequate it is as a form of combat and the same can be said about it's rules and governing base.

Dana White said it's a possibility for the GSP/Hendricks rematch too.

LAS VEGAS – For the first time since 2009, the UFC will head to Dallas.

The UFC 171 pay-per-view card will take place March 15 at American Airlines Center in Dallas. UFC President Dana White announced the location and date at the post-event news conference for UFC 167, which took place at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

White did not announce a headliner for the card – though he did say that a rematch between welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre and Johny Hendricks “made sense” for the card. St-Pierre on Saturday took a controversial split decision from Hendricks in the UFC 167 main event.

The UFC most recently was in Dallas for UFC 103 in September 2009. That card featured a main event between former champs Vitor Belfort and Rich Franklin, a fight that Belfort won with a first-round knockout. That card drew more than 17,000 fans for a $2.4 million gate.

The show also featured a heavyweight fight between Junior dos Santos and Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic. The card started with four decisions in the first five fights, but then closed out with eight straight stoppages.
