If TKZ and Edgar fight idk if i could look away from the screen

I'd pencil that in as FOTY without even watching it. I think he can beat Edgar, but who knows how he looks at FW.

Those clowns on Sherdog were slurping the shyt outta Edgar,saying he'd finish TKZ and or handle him easily

LW is one of the most competitive/deep divisions in the UFC, while FW is one of the weakest divisions. Edgar has beaten some of the best fighters at LW, so it's understandle why somebody would believe that Edgar beats the Korean Zombie handily.

It's a tough fight for the KZ becuase I don't see him out-strking or out-grappling Edgar. Plus, Edgar is very difficult to finish. Overall, the KZ has the odds stacked against him.

Not sure how i feel about this

I'd love to see this fight, but like I've said, a Silva/Jones match-up would be much much better.

Furthermore, this fight has been rumored so many times, that I'm not holding my hopes up. If GSP beats Condit, I think it's more likely that he faces the winner of Hendricks/Kampmann than Silva.

While i dont disagree with anything you said in regards to Edgar's resume. I think its a double edge sword. Edgar is gonna have his hands full with Sung. He'll probably be able to eat his punches tho even tho KZ hits hard as fukk. I hope that fight gets made though. Definitely wont be a walk in the park for either guy

I don't know if it's been mentioned but I really hate the matchup between Maynard/Lauzon. I like Lauzon I hope he pulls off a submission but I dont see it and I can't see him winning any other way. He'll probably get clipped and ground and pounded he seems not to have the best defense and Maynards got heavy hands.

Think theyre throwing him to the wolves a little early..seems to happen a lot lately ive noticed.

I would think y'all would jump for joy at the prospect of GSP getting destroyed by Silva.

im probably in the minority, but the fight doesnt do anything for me.

Lets see how GSP looks after that injury first...dude might be

gsp has killed the fight for me with his responses to would he like to fight sliva over the years.. and he's smaller so it seems like silva picking on him since he gives those scary ass answers..

the fight aint happening & even if it does its kind of like liddell/wandi all over.The time has past and as muuch as I want to see gsp get hurt its time to move on..There was never a better time than after ufc 100/101 when silva and gsp dominated their respective opponents. Zuffa sat on their hands and gave gsp hardy if i'm not mistaken then abudabi happened.And they were acting like it was anderson that didnt deserve to face gsp the whole thing is retarded any way anderson who walks around at 220lbs & is a big MW is cutting down to 178lbs..If he thrashes gsp peeps will just downplay it (despite his weakness for wrestlers) and say "well look at the size disparity".Whereas anything gsp does even if it involves a TD that leads to 3 mins of stalling, he'll be hailed a warrior (even in a loss) There is nothing to gain here for AS but if the fight does happen it will be because zuffa know gsp knees are done

Anderson at 220 lbs is fat/flabby, that's when he's not in shape. I can't find the link, but his fight weight for Silva/Sonnen II was 198 lbs. GSP's fight weight for his Shields fight was 193 lbs. Yes, Silva is bigger, but not as much as some people are making it out to be. Also, there are many MW fighters bigger than Anderson, like Chael, Weidman, Belfort, Stann etc. Silva's an average sized MW.

Having said all that, I still believe that Silva should be calling out Jones, not GSP.
