Although I dont follow UFC as much as I used to, myself and a mate at work were discussing the other day, how the champions in each division seem to be so far ahead of everyone else. Penn, GSP and Silva are completely dominant in their respective divisions, and altho i consider Machida and Lesnar to be slightly weaker than the first 3, but they still have to be beaten, and im left scratching my head as to who will do it (Although I am aware Warlord is convinced its already been done by Shogun).

The best I can offer is that I think Anderson could beat Machida, nbt since they wont fight eachother, where is the end of the current dominance of the divisions going to come from?

Thoughts???

Your argument makes no sense. Griffin beat Rampage with leg kicks to win the title. Shogun earned his victory in a much clearer fashion. Which rounds, pray tell, did you give Lyoto?

Nearly every fan, every fighter, and every major news outlet, in addition to most experts on the sport, ALL gave Shogun the victory. Dana White HIMSELF said Shogun won that fight. But yeah, a few nuthuggers suddenly know this sport better. Right.


By Silva himself, who is full of shit. He'll never drop down to fight GSP, and he's a coward if he does. Real fighters move up in weight when they want a challenge, not down.


He's fought cans, with the exception of MAYBE Dan Henderson, though Hendo was 812 years old when he fought Silva.


Shogun's never tested positive for steroids, so unless you've got any proof, its just you shitting out your mouth like a typical TUF noob. And what fight, pray tell, would you even SUSPECT of being fixed? You're a fucking joke.


We'll see how "beyond any MMA heavyweight" Lesnar is after he faces Carwin.

A prime Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira would've murdered Crock Lesnar.

Griffin won the fight on leg kicks against Rampage, yet Shogun loses a fight where you and others say he won using leg kicks — since that was the only attack Shogun has in his arsenal that contributed to most of the damage on Lyoto. I suggest you read the article Cecil Peoples posted and the reason why he scored it the way he did. I gave Lyoto rounds 1, 2 & 4 and scored it 48-47. Maybe you'll have a brighter view as to why it happened. No matter, UFC 113 will prove why Shogun lost the first fight against Lyoto.

And Silva is a coward? LOL. Travis Lutter, Rich Franklin, Damian Maia, Nate Marquardt. Forrest Griffin... all cans? Anymore excuses? Anderson Silva is the best fighter on planet Earth, hands down. And, as I said before. GSP is too small to fight at 185 — even if has put on more lean muscle and can make 195 without losing much of what he possesses at 170. I still suggest a catchweight.

I never said, personally, that Shogun was juicing. I am simply reflecting back on various threads AFTER Shogun lost to Griffin. They were saying Shogun was 'loose' a.k.a. not in shape for his UFC debut. Many came up with theories that whatever he had been taking in PRIDE, he let it leave his system and didn't have the drive to get it done. I'm not saying I believe, I am merely bringing it to attention. Can you really tell me the Shogun that fought Griffin was the same one that decimated Rampage Jackson? And yes, I was aware that he was 'sick'.

You're right. Minotauro would have done a great deal to Lesnar, but that is no longer the case because Minotauro isn't prime. So that statement is irrelevant. And, I still don't think Carwin can do it. Lesnar is just too powerful. I, honestly, would give Cain Velezquez a better chance of dethroning Lesnar than Carwin.
