    BJ's Jiu Jitsu is in a different class to Diego's, imo. That will be one of the man differences, in this fight.

    I very much agree. But when you train under a great instructor that helps alot. Sure BJ's JJ is gonna be sharper & tighter, overall on another level. But as long as Diego can protect himself and compete on a decent level can make all the difference.

    For example. NOG is a better JJ fighter than Mir. But Mir won't subbed by NOG without a battle. Mir knows what he's doing on the ground too. Of course if it goes long enough the better JJ guy may catch his opponent, but atleast being on descent level helps alot.

    The issue with BJ is he can commit violence on a guy till he makes a mistake, and BJ is not a submissions guy. He is a guy who will beat the crap out of a guy then see an opertunity and sub him, rather than Mir for example who throws up subs.

    BJ has thee best technical JJ at 155, and amongst the best of the well rounded MMA non grappling specific fighters in any weight classs. BJ is also dominant from the top and has some of the best TD defence that you will see in any weight class. Hell GSP had more issues taking down Penn than nearly any other fighter he has faced.

    Yeah GSP was taking down Alves & Fitch easily. BJ's TDD is awesome especially early on.

    Hell yeah. I couldn't believe what I was watching. That **** was awesome.

    I'm stoked to man. I'm watching Spike TV right now watching the UFC unleashed marathon and getting the drinks and junk food together for later on. Fight nights are always my favorite time.

    It would be nice to see Sanchez win the title. But I don't cheer for no one really...
    I just want to see a great fight. That could be the FOTY

    Oh **** thanks for the tip I just turned on Spike. Im also watching fights from all the main card fighters like I usually do right now im watching Stefan Struve and Paul Buentello fights. I hear that on the junk food im undecided on what I want right now but around 9 ill make a short drive maybe for some pizza or something. Do you watch alone ? I cant stand watching big fights with people anymore its more expensive but I enjoy it alone.

    Damn straight man. For the Spike card UFC 105 last month about 20 minutes before it starts my freind calls and says hey can I come watch it ? Im kinda leary but not to hurt his feelings im like sure come on over. Well for the entire 3 hour event he was quiet maybe 12 minutes tops :-( I literally watched the entire replay afterwards because I hadnt a ****ing clue what had happened. I told him you aint coming over for the PPV next week so dont even ask.

    I only watch it alone, because I have no friends into UFC or boxing.

    I have **** for finances and haven't been able to get a UFC PPV since UFC 92. :sad2

    Terribly awful. So I will be expecting a Play by play from people watching tonight if ESB is still up and running. :D

    Same thing happened to me way back at UFC 92. :lol: My friend comes over and wants to watch it and before the second fight started he was already stating he was bored and we should go do something. Never mind the fact I wanted to watch it, but money is tight and I dropped a good 50 bucks on that ****. No way in hell was I leaving.

    Sometimes I watch alone. Sometimes I watch with my parents. Very rare I have 2 or 3 people come over. Tonight I'm just watching with my cousin. More times than not we go for the same people so we can be bias:lol:

    I feel you on the alone though. I like watching the fights by myself in slience. I watched UFC 92 alone and I was going crazy & yelling by myself. It was awesome. But when I do have people come over I make them either chip in for the event or they're bringing the drinks:lol:
