UFC 119 - Anybody Watching?

kinda funny, a couple BJJ guys duking it out...

In all honesty it concerns me, I think these guys are trying to give the masses what they want and not necessarily fighting to their strengths. I hope not, hopefully there was a good reason behind keeping it on the feet.

That being said on the ground it would have been a similar fight IMO because like you said the both have strong jitz.

Wow Bader has come a long way since TUF. His GNP is legit.

I really don't care about this fight, this one needed to be 5 rounds...

just waiting for the main... I predict Mir KO... Cro Cop has a glass jaw..

I like Bader, I'm glad to see he's evolving as a fighter.

On Mir vs Mirko - I like Cro Cop better but I just don't see a scenario in which he comes out on top of that match-up. I pretty much only root for Mir when he fights someone I dislike more - like Lesnar. But I think it is very likely that he will win. Mirko is class act though, he one of those guys who I wish was better just because I like his attitude & demeanor.

mir never fought Fedor as cro cop has... thats really big deal to me...

lets see Mir fight fedor and then this fight.....

no money on this fight for me, just think cro cop goes down, within 2...

AGREED - I have only seen highlights of that fight but a lot of folks that know MMA a lot better than me have said CroCop has NEVER been the same since then.

Well...even though it was a knock-out, it was anti-climactic.

Yeah, way to make a strong finish look as weak as humanly possible.
