Default Couture vs. Gonzaga

Is happening Aug. 25th and has the potential to be a very good event.

Place your bets gentlemen.

Main Card Bouts:
-Randy Couture vs. Gabriel Gonzaga
-Georges St. Pierre vs. Josh Koscheck
-Joe Stevenson vs. Kurt Pellegrino
-Kendall Grove vs. Patrick Cote
-Roger Huerta vs. Alberto Gonzales Crane

Preliminary Bouts:
-Marcus Aurelio vs. Clay Guida
-Renato "Babalu" Sobral vs. David Heath
-Antoni Hardonk vs. Frank Mir
-Thales Leites vs. Ryan Jensen


Though I think Gonzaga could just as easily GnP Randy out I've finally learned not to bet against Captain America. Age has no effect on that man.

Aurelio has a great BJJ game and I'd love to see him sub some guys but Guida's defense is probably good enough to allow him to light Aurelio up on the feet.

I hope Babalu and GSP are out to put on a show of whup ass.

I agree with all of your picks, although the Couture and Gonzaga could go either way. I probably won't be ordering this one but I might goto hooters and watch it haha.

Main Card Bouts:
Randy Couture vs. Gabriel Gonzaga
Georges St. Pierre vs. Josh Koscheck
Joe Stevenson vs. Kurt Pellegrino
Kendall Grove vs. Patrick Cote
Roger Huerta vs. Alberto Gonzales Crane

Preliminary Bouts:
Marcus Aurelio vs. Clay Guida
Renato "Babalu" Sobral vs. David Heath
Antoni Hardonkvs. Frank Mir
Thales Leites vs. Ryan Jensen

I think the Couture vs Gonzaga fight could go either way, but I'm pulling for Randy. The interesting thing to me is, a lot of people seem to think if the fight goes for any length of time it hurts Randy and I totally disagree with that. I think the longer the fight goes the greater chance Randy has to win. His conditioning is unquestioned and Gonzaga is a pretty big heavyweight who, though he's in good condition, should probably tire faster than Randy.

I think GSP and Babalu will come out strong, especially GSP. I can't picture Koscheck beating GSP unless he can LnP him which he will have trouble doing for long enough to get a victory.

I actually think Mir will win. I'm sure he's not anywhere near his former self but he's had plenty of time to get back into things. I don't think he will but I think he'll find a way to get Hardonk down on the ground and get a sub win.

I just think he's due. No idea who he's training with now but he is durable and even a dog gets a sunny piece of the sidewalk sometimes right?

Ya. I think Grove should win just like I think like Gonzaga should win. But I'm betting on the underdogs in those two matches.

I just hope we get to see a couple of decent bouts! Think we can rely on Couture for a show - but have had so many good fighters just "not show up" this year!?!?!

Who's in for the sweepstake on positive drug tests...I'm going for 2!

I'm definitely buying this one. I cannot wait, I'm going for GSP to beat Koschek, for sure. I'm not too sure about Couture and Gonzaga, but I'm hoping Couture wins. It's gonna be awesome, but unfortunately I'll be watching it alone...

Anyone else see the countdown show?

Man I don't know what's going on with fighter's training these days... Gonzaga is doing KB Turkish getups, snatches, resisted sprinting... GSP doing db snatches, sled pulling, rope pulls, Koschek doing truck pushes... Randy doing snatches and ball slams...

Gimme the good 'ol days of Franklin's machine circuits and Hughes's Weider splits

Picture of the day right here:

It sure is. The Axe Murderer has been training out of Randy's Vegas gym and just signed with the UFC.

Just got back from watching the fight at the bar.

Randy is an animal.

That is all.

1. Better alone than with a squeamish date.

2. A good night to be Canadian.

3. The Sobral fight wasn't broadcast where I was. Anyone see what exactly happened with the chokehold?

That was sweet. I got lucky cuz I messed up my bold on here for Huerta but thankfully I didn't when I placed a bet for money. That was a great night of fights. I still gotta watch the preliminaries but the main card was possibly the best this year.

Randy Couture. wow.

Gonzaga was the bigger, better fighter. had 15 years and 25lbs and got his ass kicked.

watching GSP DOMINATE Kos for 15 mins was wonderful.
