Damn, Hendricks has some hands...Good fight, was worried about GSP after the head kick in the 3rd round, but he came back like I knew he would. Kudos to Condit for putting on a hell of a fight; this is one of those times where I don't mind it going to decision.

My picks are Benson, probably take it to decision and Diaz will complain thinking he won the fight, Rua, should be an exciting fight, that one could go either way, Penn, dude has fire in his eyes, he's going to smash Rory!, Swick, I hope Stephens wins, his fights are always exciting, not sure about the rest

I keep hearing the same thing about Rory, but I've never seen him fight, so I might be a little biased towards BJ, but dude, BJ looks like he's ready to fuck shit up. They had a twitter battle (LOL) and it has seemed to light a flame under BJ's ass! I haven't seen him this focused since the Sanchez fight! We saw what he did to him! LOL!

To see Rory's skills, which fight would you suggest I watch? I Saw Condit beat him, so again, probably totally biased.. Who has he completely annihilated? I keep hearing from every source he's the next up and comer, so I don't discount him at all!

Diaz gonna fuck shit up, but he has to finish. Judges usually give it to the champion if there's no finish. I'm not sure the Swede is up for the fight against Shogun, but he's got a good record and is hungry, so that should be a great fight! Swick gonna fuck shit up, I agree! I hope Stephens wins, I like that guy, he's got aggression, all of his fights are exciting! Dude comes to battle!

I am suprised so many people havent seen rorymac fight up to this date the guys a beast at WW. WATCH Rory vs Nate diaz if u want to see rorys skill. but i got a feelin that if BJ comes focused it will be a coin flip who wins both r very skilled fighters.

Did you guys see the road to UFC on Fox 5, BJ's segment said a lot, he's tired of feeling like he's on his way out and everyone counting him out, he feels like if he beats Rory he'll be in the running again. He's not that old at 33, so I think he's still got a chance, he seems really determined and focused, and one thing he's got over Rory is experience. I wonder if Rory wins what's going to happen with his next few fights, that should definitely put him in the running for a title shot or at least contention, BUT he's training partners with GSP, so damn, that should be interesting!

If BJ wins he'll probably have to face a couple more contenders before he gets another shot at the title. Depending on how those fights go it'll be easier to determine how he'll do against GSP again, but he's 0-2 so far, and GSP looked awesome in his last fight against Condit.

I'd like to see BJ v. Condit and BJ v. Kampmann or maybe BJ v. Hendricks before he gets a chance at the title again, if he wins both of those fights after beating Rory this Sat. I think GSP might have another fight before he faces Hendricks, they're trying to work something out with Anderson Silva at catchweight (terrible idea for GSP!), he'd destroy Hendricks imo.

I still can't wait to see Aldo v. Edgar!

The Shogun v. Gustafsson fight looks pretty awesome too!

I think the Benson v. Diaz fight will go to decision with the champ retaining the title and Diaz disagreeing with the judges decision (like usual..)

Im a fan of BJ but I dont know what else he has to accomplish besides a few more non title fight wins. I dont see him beating GSP and I only see him being welterweight champion if the opponent is someone else. I think BJ can even go to featherweight, those would be some crazy fights.

If Rory wins I think he should fight Nick Diaz for a title shot.

Alves has been off the radar for a while, and he's coming off a loss to Kampmann, I think if BJ won and faced Alves, he's destroy him. I haven't seen Marquart in the ring in a while, where's he been? Did he get suspended?

That might be an interesting fight, he's a huge WW

I'm a big fan of Aldo, I hope he wins, but Edgar has a crazy amount of determination

BJ said he wants to be known as the best in the world again, he said he has something to prove to himself. That would be awesome if he had a few consecutive stoppages and faced GSP for the third time and actually dethroned him!

Diaz has fought at WW, but I think Rory is way too big for him to handle, and too aggressive. Shea pointed it out, they've fought before and Rory won, Nick took a beating

I'd like to see GSP v. Rory if he wins, but I'm not sure if they'd do it! Fuck, the UFC should have stipulations about stuff like that, turning down certain fights because you don't want them.. That's the business, Condit and GSP just did it, they have the same trainers and coaches, Rashad and Jones did it, though Rashad was off that team, but still, they used to be teammates, sometimes, teammates have to fight each other, it just means your team is the shit if two guys from it are fighting for the championship! Win or lose, you always have that to fall back on and get back on the horse and climb the latter to the top again.

I wanna see Jones v. Silva! THAT'S a SUPERFIGHT! (much more interested in that fight than GSP v. Silva)

Can't wait to see Rousey get her 7th armbar!

Im getting tired of Rousey and her armbar, mostly because she beat a canadian girl last time lol. it is impressive but it does bore me. Submissions are entertaining but I dont like one trick ponies.

I couldnt find the Nick Diaz vs McDonald video, only him and Nate fought apparently. Im pretty sure I seen that fight but I cant remember it. Though theres a good chance you are right that Rory would easily beat Nick since Rory beat his brother and Nate and Nick have similar styles, I do think Nick is a better fighter though. Might be a good stand up match if Nicks boxing can measure up to Rorys diverse striking.

My bad, I meant Nate.

It's amazing Rousey's opponents go in KNOWING exactly what the hell she's going to do and she still does it. IMO, her fights are pretty exciting. I hear Rousey v. Cyborg is in talks but Cyborg has to drop to 135

I think Nick Diaz is a little overrated

Nick is overrated and Nate is a way better fighter. Also, a fight between Silva and GSP is a joke and should never happen! GSP is a natural welterweight while Silva walks around at 215-220. A fight between Silva and Jones would be much more interesting and a helluva lot more fair.
