    You sure do like your Decisions and Submissions :pac: Then again, I'd agree with most of them :P

    Everyone picking BJ? :( I'm hoping Frankie to keep the same tactics, in and out, in and out, and I hope he wins, massive underdog but I really hope he pulls it off, his work ethic over the last few years has been extraordinary, then again, so has Penn's. These two fighters are the definition of workhorses. And neither are afraid to fight in a weight class above what they should be fighting at, I really respect both of these guys but I'm hoping Frankie can pull off another decision here.

    I'm also shouting for Kenny in his fight, I don't like Gray at all and has to be the most retarded fighter I've seen, and yes, even worse than Forrest :pac:

    Have you seen him being interviewed or any of the press conference? He's an idiot..

    And if you're referring to the Forrest reference it's that Forrest sometimes calls himself the most stupid man in MMA or something like that? And he's just fcuking crazy..

    Ah yeah Forrest is always giving himself stick.

    I like Gray though. He's very solid and i think he could win tonight if he can force the fight to go his way.

    Same with Ken-Flo........... so i really can't call it!

    seriously?

    Penn is one of the laziest fighters in MMA. Its what got him into this position in the first place.

    The guy has coasted by on pure talent for years.

    He only upped his game for the sanchez and florian fights. if he was such a workhorse he wouldnt even be in this position in the first place, pure laziness that he didnt win the last fight. as his own brother said in the countdown he had no motivation to fight frankie cause frankie was too respectful to him in the build up.

    His cardio has always been questionable. He would have won the first fight against GSP if he had done any proper training, it was if he just expected to beat GSP.

    His expert level of BJJ means he expects to just go into any fight and submit his opponent easily, this is what causes his laziness.

    This is all correct, but when BJ is motivated, he really is a workhorse.

    Although i picked BJ to win this fight, i don't think there's much different between this one and the last one. I don't think BJ seems any more motivated this time and in fact in his interb=views and appearences etc he seems very shy and unconfident.

    This is the same BJ Pennwho talked so much about how he was gonna destroy Sherk, Ken-Flo, Diego, GSP etc.

    I don't think he believes in himself at the mooment.

    Main card
    Welterweight bout: Nate Diaz vs. Marcus Davis Just cause he is Irish
    Lightweight bout: Kenny Florian vs. Gray Maynard - TKO
    Middleweight bout: Demian Maia vs. Mario Miranda Submission
    Heavyweight bout: Randy Couture vs. James Toney - KO (He has a chance imo he could clip him)

    Ending flurrys really are so important for scoring in judges eyes. Wand Bisping is main example also
