BJ Penn bruises easily?Other than the Diaz fight, when has he really bruised? BJ's known for NOT bruising. You couldn't be more wrong.
Fitch DOMINATED him in the 3rd round, don't give me that 'sloppy GnP' BS.
I read that with the exact same thought. Besides silva, I don't think any fighter suffers less facial damage then Penn
I really think Weidman is in for a "be careful what you wish for" type of night. Not discounting his skillset, he's got a style that could make it interesting I just don't think he's ready as he thinks he is to deal with Anderson's unorthoxed attacks.

Gray Maynard's on the 160 card now too
Y! SPORTS
I might have to go to this one in addition to the july ppv
TJ grant vs Gray Maynard
Does anyone else feel a lot of these cards are bottom heavy with a lot of wack ass main events
I see Shields losing both these fights.Woodley wants Jake Shields next but Shields wants Koscheck is he beats lawler...If Woodley gets Shields, I actually think he might do Jake like he did Galvao.
Lamas and Zombie might be fighting in the summer.
Fitch and Askren would probably wind up being the ugliest kickboxing match EVER and I actually thought Hieron beat Askren....that'd be a good tourny if those 2 were in it, tho. I'm hyped for Bellator tonight and I don't even know who's fighting
And Askren would beat Fitch, IMO. Fitch hasn't looked the same since going on that vegan diet prior to the Penn fight. Askren is one of the best wrestlers at 170 and Fitch has shown suspect TDD before - he's been taken down by Penn, Maia, and even Erick Silva

I didn't know Fitch went vegan. Retarded for someone who bases their professional career and way of life on being physically strong. Not just vegetarian but vegan. He let things get too good for him.
Anyways, he was NEVER going to be a champ in the UFC so it might be good for him to pick up a few belts in the smaller orgs.

Agreed. Both dudes got some 'tough' skin.
I can't honestly think of fight where BJ bruised [other than the Diaz fight].

So whacha think about Machida vs Hendo? Kind of a toss up but I got Machida. He'll be too slippery for Dan to hit em with that right hand.

Also, do you have Ronda winning by armbar in UNDER or OVER 1 minute?
Dan's gotta corner him somehow. I just don't think he's fast enough anymore to do it. Machida generally circles away to counter almost the same way. A quick right handed fighter can do work on him when he makes his move.
I just don't see Hendo getting ahold of him, by the 3rd round Lyoto is going to be teeing off on a tired Dan IMO.
@UFCTonight: "Ronda Rousey blows Brock Lesnar out of the water" - Dana White in terms of star power and media coverage Rousey has brought to UFC 157.
we shall see -P-
Rory touched him up pretty good didnt he? I cant remember

Weidman is ready to get paid. Not ready for The Spider.
I guess every time the phone rings, fighters will be like
Nah, they find out same way as we do.........over twitter
