That is a high number of picks against GSP relative to his usual fights. Whether people want to believe it or not Alves is a legit challenge and far more one than BJ Penn ever was due to the weight differences between Penn and GSP.
Pros who picked St. Pierre: 20
Pros who picked Alves: 13
Pros who did not decide: 2

:lol My mom watches MMA too.
But it seems every other girl I know has absolutely no bloodlust whatsoever. Maybe it's a "mom thing" :lol

Was going to post the exact same thing. As far as I know it's a toss up between Virgin 1, Bravo and Channel 5 to air the event possibly live.
The general thinking is that ESPN will take a long term contract with someone stepping in to air UFC 100 on a short term contract.
I have my fingers crossed for Virgin 1 or Channel 5 personally.
i got my girlfriend to start watching it (more so by sheer will than her actually being interested in it) and now she is just as hooked as me. granted, i am more that crazed fan who reads everything i can get and read the mma news sites every day, so i am a little more up to date than most. i think it is a lot easier to be in tune and to care about mma than it is for must other sports- most pro sports guys are such big stars you oftentimes dont see them as real people, but most of the mma fighters you see seem pretty down to earth and genuine. i dont know if that is because the money is not there yet, or if it is because it is still a relatively young sport, but i hope that is not something that changes.TOM f'N CRUISE said:
for anybody who wants to hear more about mma and stuff, i would recommend listening to the podcasts on sherdog, specifically jordan breen show and beatdown. i love savage dog show as well, but its more random bs than just mma.

Isn't GSP supposed to fight Anderson Silva relatively soon? If he beats Alves, both he and Anderson will have basically cleaned out their respective divisions. Nothing really left for GSP after this but to fight Silva, and vice versa as well, since Anderson isn't going to stay at 205 due to Machida.

I don't mind; I have all three. One of them better get it!

I think they are talking about PPV buys and worldwide TV numbers in general as like you say Pride always had the bigger live gate.. You cant compare the two though as Pride never really had any major TV outside of Japan. The Japanese organisations (pro wrestling or MMA) are always gonna find it hard to get major attention outside of Japan. Although I think Pride made big mistakes by pretty much ignoring Europe.
UFC like WWE can easily promote the product in Europe and South America but they struggle in Japan. UFC's TV deal in Japan is not great at all.. They are on WOWOW which is not a great channel to be on.
As for UFC and the UK TV situation. It is very strange and maybe the UFC have done deal with Sky but as it is short notice Sky Sports couldnt change the schedule on Saturday night. Or maybe Sky wanted it on Sky Box Office but there is no time to generate PPV buys.
Or they are going with ESPN and since the new channel not on air yet UFC decided to do air it themselves.

shields won't be in the UFC anytime soon, GSP will get Matched up with Anderson (more than likely at a catchweight).
Kampmann vs. Swick For #1 contender, then go from there.
if Fitch is still winning after that fight then it's gonna set up Fitch Vs. GSP 2
Anderson will finish off his Career Defending against, Winner of Bisping/Hendo, winner of Maia/Marqaurdt, and if he keeps winning, and stays injury free, Okami will finally get his shot.
but that's all taking into consideration that Vitor doesn't come in and get an immediate shot, but Dana has since Denied that he ever mentioned Vitor coming to the UFC :lol

I get so sick of people talking about a division being cleaned out. A division is NEVER cleaned out. Especially when that champ will have only defended his title 3 times.
The winner or Swick/Kampmann would be next IMO.

It is never gonna happen. The Mirko that killed Wanderlei silva and won the Pride Open-Weight Grand Prix tournament is never coming back. Cro Cop is shot as a fighter and has been for a good while now. Physically he is nowhere near the fighter he once was. He is slower and his knees have gone through way too much damage.
The Left High kick is predictable, the guy doesnt throw combinations anymore!!

i believe i speak for everyone when i say, Welcome to NeoGAF Mr. Bisping.

I think that only win out of those picks that you could even argue being "easy" would be the gsp one, but that's so hard to predict. The only reason that one is hard to predict is because of GSP's loss to Serra. Classifying the other bouts as "easy wins" seems insane to me, especially with Mir already defeating Brock, but whatever.
There are several questions with each fight, WHICH IS WHAT MAKES IT EXCITING.
Lesnar fight: Will Lesnar stick to a stand up gameplan? Can Mir's boxing skills show in the Nogueiraaoiuasgkhalskhg fight outdo the insane power and reach of Lesnar, and can Mire dodge those huge fucking fists?
GSP fight: Was the Serra fight a fluke? Can GSP take a chin shot? Can GSP evade the power punches of Alves and get to a clinch? Can GSP take down Alves?
Hendo Fight: Has Hendo suddenly aged super quickly after winning dual titles in PRIDE? Hendo isn't getting knocked out by Bisping, but can Bisping weather the Zangief-esque grappling onslaught of Hendo and use more technical standup in order to secure a decision victory? Can Hendo land a huge fucking punch and then (at the very least!!) lay and pray and maybe secure a victory? Can Bisping use his agility to outmaneuver the obviously superior grappling/wrestling skills of Hendo?
Who fucking knows. If each fight were an absolute forgone conclusion I doubt I'd this PPV. The only fight I think could be argued as a forgone conclusion is the GSP one, and that's with the assumption that GSP is able to evade any huge punches by Alves long enough that he gases, or GSP is able to take it to the ground early without taking punishment.
There are no Fedor style "I don't even need to watch this" fights on the main card. It's on paper maybe the most exciting UFC event EVER. No matter WHAT happens, fanboy tears will be shed, but I'll reiterate one thing. If Sexyama wins his match, and his match is shown, I'll jack off in front of my girlfriend right after he's declared the victor, and I'll report back to the thread on the results of that act. That's a promise. She definitely won't dump me (I don't think!), but she could get VERY upset, and it's so worth it. Sexyama is the most important thing for me right now, fuck women.

Sexyama vs. Belcher is on the main card, First fight.
so you better report with that story you promised!! *shakes fist*
.................................
Are people really Underrating Alves that much? i don't see this as an "Easy" win at all for GSP.
I still got GSP to win, but i don't think he's gonna tool Alves like he did to Jon Fitch.

i tried to get a girl into it and when they went down the the ground all she would say is "awww look at that." or something dumb like that.ElNino said:

The thing about Mir is, can he win without catching Brock in a surprise submission? If it goes to a decision, I think Brock wins on points since he's likely to get more takedowns and remain in top position for a longer period of time.
Brock lost to him the first time because he was being a dumbass and tried to grab Mir in his guard while Brock was standing, so Mir just tripped him up and got him in a leglock. I don't think Brock's likely to make the same mistake again. He showed much greater poise and self-control in his wins over Couture and Herring.
