Burkmans win was one of the most badass things in the history of MMA.

It's a long watch, but worth it if you have the time.

Just saw this on ESPN...

GSP to defend the welterweight title on Nov. 16th against...... JOHNNY HENDRICKS!

thoughts?

 

[Dale]

Thought GSP defending against Hendricks has been confirmed for a while now?

 

[The Cork]

GSP 50-45 on all cards, as per.

I dunno if it was or wasn't... but I was watching ESPN and it scrolled through... maybe it didn't have a date until now? I dunno.

Hendricks will trouble him and part of me cant help but ignore the fact Hendricks has been meant to lose his last 4 fights in the average fans eyes but won them all, whats one more fight he's not meant to win?

I still think the Koscheck and Condit wins were debatable.

He seems to struggle in fights where he can't ice the dude in the first. His wrestling accolades hold up but he was getting outgrappled against Kos which makes me think GSP will have his way with him.

I'm hoping he can stop the robot from putting on another snoozer. Is he fighting outside of Canada for once?

 

[Slim]

According to wikipedia... as of right now that fight will take place in Las Vegas. So hopefully it holds cause I've been tired of GSP always having his fights in Canada.

 

[No More Sorrow]

In addition to it being in Vegas, it's also being pegged as UFC's 20th Anniversary show so expect a few more big fights to be added to the card.

 

[Slim]

So they gonna build this show up to be bigger than UFC 100? If so... mannn this is gonna be epic

 

[The Cork]

I don't imagine Anderson/Belfort II selling well on it's own so put that on the undercard and you've got a GOAT PPV.

 

[Slim]

Well the way Belfort has been tearing through everyone with his new crazy built look... that would sell. Plus it is Anderson Silva. You could stick him against anybody off the street and it'd still sell.

Glover Teixeira Vs. Ryan Bader to Headline UFC on Fox Sports 3 from Brazil, Yushin Okami vs. Ronaldo Souza is also set for the show.
