Hells Yeah! and Dunham/Sot is a great fight

Nice.

Didn't really want a Fitch-Penn rematch. Fitch will easily win the rematch.

I guess Fitch will have to whoop his ass AGAIN. Then you guys can say how he doesn't deserve his title shot AGAIN.

Not sure how crazy I am about the rematch. Definitely taking Fitch though

And Sots is going on a 2 fight losing streak here

Im rolling with freak on this one.


The Dunham-George fight is a big redemption fight for 2 guys who were very recently riding the high speed hype train.

+1

It seems we are in agreement that no one really wants the Penn Fitch rematch.

Yet it kind of had to be done, right?

No, it didn't HAVE to be done. I could live with Sanchez vs Fitch and Condit vs BJ. I could live with that.

I would've loved Penn vs Alves and Fitch vs Condit.

What the fuck is it with people and Alves? I guess an entertaining style goes a long way. Cause looking at his record over the last 2 years, It has to be about the style. Like the exact opposite of Fitch.

You don't like Alves?

I have no problems with Alves, I like him more then most fighters. But I just don't understand why he gets so much credit in that division, when he hasn't done anything lately.

Well his only losses in the past 6 years have been to GSP and Fitch. In the past 3 years he has beaten Koscheck, Hughes, Lyttle and Parisyan which is pretty impressive.

Or more recently his record is 1-2 since 2009 and his lone win was over Howard. Not exactly blazing it up lately.

He has been on the shelf, you know, the whole BRAIN thing. He's still a top guy and a young fighter with a dangerous style.

I get it.

No shame in those 2 loses being to GSP and Fitch. You know since they are 2 of the greatest ever WW and the top 2 right now.

Yeah but he hasn't really been too active. Fighting only 3 times in 2 years. You can't be that inactive and lose to the elites and still expect to be high up there in the mix. Not when other fighters are pulling out more wins and more impressive wins during that same span.

Besides GSP, Fitch and Shields I think he beats any other WW in the world.

I think Carlos Condit beat him.

He could but I'd take Alves.

Bad matchup for Condit. I'm not liking anyone who's gonna have to stand with Alves for 3 rounds

This. If you want to beat Alves then you have to be able to take him down for 3 rounds straight.

I have no interest in a Penn/Fitch rematch but whatever. Dunham is going to put George away. Personally, I've never been that impressed with Sotiropoulos. Dunham, however, is a stud.

Alves gets talked about because it's clear he's a top WW, losing to the best ever and one of the best ever WW's isn't a bad thing, not like he's been fighting Cyborg and Scott Smith over that time.
