soon enough.......After Rumble destroys Koscheck just one more big fight and GSP will be outclassed....
I tend to think Kos can take this to the ground and just pound him out. Johnson needs to go up in weight anyhow. Like watching a friggin 6th grader bully kids in a sandbox.
I agree that Kos probably CAN do this. I'm really pulling for Kos in this fight, but I hope he uses his wrestling wisely and doesn't just try to stand with Johnson. Koscheck is a fantastic fighter but he doesn't always come in to the fight with a solid gameplan. If Kos doesn't respect Johnson's striking I think he's going to get KOd.
Thiago Alves is bigger, stronger and he has far more destructive stand-up than GSP and he got no-where with the champ!! Rumble Johnson IS a good prospect and I'm a fan but this fight will tell us if he is even a true contender as there is a huge difference between the opponents he has been beating and Kos.
More stupid zuffa crap. When will you guys learn? Why won't you demand some real fights, and forget this crap about which logo looks the nicest. Who is he, who is Anthony Johnson? kill zuffa, that's all
Alves is certainly bigger than GSP but at most just slightly better stand-up. GSP repeatedly knocked Fitch to the ground in their fight with terrific counter-striking and fast precision punches. He also after his eye injury in the first Penn fight just dominated and kept Penn at bay with fantastic kicks. As far as strength I give GSP the edge as he dominated Alves on the ground and took him down at will. GSP is pound for pound one of the greats, up there with Fedor and the Spider.
When will you respond? Name 10 better heavies at the time than Mir and Couture? Name a better WW than GSP if this fight is so worthless. I'll go ahead and answer, you never will because you are a cowardly moron:
atsch Rewind six months, delete "Anthony Johnson" and insert "Thiago Alves". Fast forward another six months, delete "Anthony Johnson" and insert the name of the next badass who is ready to dethrone GSP. GSP isn't going anywhere. He'll beat the Alves's and the Johnson's until he decides to stop.
