    Yeah GS grappled raped Stevenson. GS definately had a great debut at 155 against a guy that challenged for the title. He's gonna be a force. His ground game is VERY good, and not to bad on the feet either. Excellent performance.
     
  3. GS was possessed. Prime example of the power of will. Great UFC card.

    Velazquez V FEDOR!

    **** Lesnar, seriously

    George has some incredible BJJ soon as he destroyed Jason Dent I was calling for a test like this and wow he ****ing passed it easily.
     
  7. Jumping the gun sure, but man what a great performance.

    The man has a crazy future ahead of him.

    I definately agree there:thumbsup Cain is badass. The guy fights like a monstar and shows improvement every fight. He put his hands on display really well tonight, and destroyed NOG. Awesome performance.

    FFS.

    Just watched the replay. Aussie represtent! :hat

    2nd fastest sellout in UFC history?

    Perosh (as a last minute stand-in) takes a demoralizing beating but shows some great courage.

    Sotiropolous surprises everyone but himself by with a devastating performance!

    He also displays world class BJJ, our only black belt to do so IMO...

    Stevenson truly is the gatekeeper at 155. If you can't beat him, forget about a title shot.

    That flatters him... You gotta beat Guida... Then get your ass whooped by Sanchez...

    The kings are all here to stay. :-(

    I'd forgotten about this guy for a while; he handled the step up as well as possible, really.

    I do remember him just punting Aoki straight in the junk, that was great.

    I called that fight 180 degrees wrong. I thought Stevenson would take him down and be too strong for him and that he'd be too crisp with his boxing as well. GS doesn't seem to have much athleticism or quick hands but his technique is sooo solid that he gets it done.

    Who's next for him I wonder? I think both Diaz and Sanchez are fighting their next fights at 170, so they're out. Maybe Florian? Sherk? Guida?
