    Yep. That's it. If you think GSP would beat him, that's "talking ****" about Saku. And yes, most of the people who think GSP would win have only been following MMA for 8 months!

    SET THEM STRAIGHT!

    Now sure, and maybe on the surface it might look like he trained harder then a prime Saku (Saku is like a chain smoker) but I highly doubt GSP could go 90 minutes with a top fighter his size and then take the most dangerous heavyweight striker the distance to a draw. That is like GSP going 90 minutes with a top welter and then going 15 with a top 5 heavy who could take hs head off like a short AA. That is what Saku did in the 2000 GP. I think a prime Saku would sub GSP while Pierre ground game is very good it is nowhere near Royler or Renzo level and he subbed both of those two.

    I know right. Especially when you ask the right people who are actually knowledgeable about the sport.

    I know, they should know that this MMA forum is the bastion of knowledge.

    MMA questions/polls should be separated from general questions. General questions I tend to put in the lounge.

    I'm glad you acknowledge the fact that most of the people are still not familiar with MMA.

    Im not sure about that, MMA is very popular, moreso than boxing now. Have you seen the PPV numbers? Turn on Spike TV, its all there. Alot of people are casual fans of it, just like they are casual fans of the NFL or Hockey.

    For example in the lounge many are casual fans of all sports, its a perfect place to make polls where people are not biased either way.

    I can make a poll that states is MMA good or bad? in the MMA forum but that kinda defeats the purpose right?

    Oh right, Thiago Alves and Sakuraba are the exact same fughter, so if GSP lose to him, he would lose to Sakuraba. Yeah right

    it said bisping vs henderson too. and the TUF 9 finale. plus one other really big fight. doesn't sound like they are "going all out" for UFC 100.

    Not necessarily but the fact that Sakuraba is a better fighter skillwise & fought at & beat guys at higher weights than Alves means that we might know a little more about this Sak/GSP match.... after all, thats why we`ve came to the conclusions about who would win already... because of the fights both have had.
    If GSP loses to Alves, it must be need for concern how this version would do vs Sak, a guy who never ever (in his prime yrs) lost to a MWT, never mind a WWT such as Alves.

    :good

    That really does not make sense at all; Thiago is about as polar opposite as Sakuraba as there is. What you are talking about is who had the greater career, the better legacy, all good things to talk about but completly different than who would win a fight.
