UFC 143: St Pierre vs Diaz

**Hannibal** · 02-04-12, 05:33 PM

I don't get why ppl keep saying, "cerrone should have used his kicks! He would have won!" Do you think cerrone is so stupid that he won't use what works? He couldn't kcik because he was being met with punches to the face whenever he stepped in for the kick.

I'm tired of hearing how Diaz/Condit will play out just like Cowboy/Nate Diaz. Cowboy Cerrone was mentally out of it...think Nate got in his head. He kept refusing to even attempt gnp or a sub? Cerrone was flat like that vs Henderson too. Condit win or lose is a tough guy and will be ready to go to war. Condit tko in the 3rd or Diaz by decision...close to a coin flip imo so I'm on Condit.

Agree... I was gonna bring this up earlier, but didn't see it mentioned too much here, as this board is (collectively) rather informed... but saw it mentioned frequently on dipsh*t boards that I peek at occasionally...

It's such a lazy way to cap this fight. Was really surprised to see Hackleman cap the fight this way.

My UFC 143 Plays:

Nothing really stuck out to me on this card. Probably should have stayed away from everything, but once again the inner degenerate in me is calling for some action

Was gonna play diaz and kept waiting and waiting and now I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger over the past month because I really can't call it. Just gonna sit back and enjoy this epic main event. Might play the over if I'm + profit come fight time.

So yea, small plays for me tonight. might add a couple more if I win my brown and figueroa plays.

What do you see in starks? Herman showed a sick guard against noke..a solid grappler who's at his best in his top game.

lol nothing really.... More of a value play than anythign as I like those odds - I think herman should win.

I just feel that herman really hasn't faced any pure wrestlers outside of Atrain, who took him down handily before fuse busted his knee. If I knew starks had solid sub defense I would probably put a tad more at those nice dog odds, so I guess I'm banking on him being able to take herman down and basically grind a boring decision. He's D1, has an explosive double and single, and seems to be quite athletic. If he can hang in hermans guard and not try anythign stupid - aka lay there and throw a punch here and there - I think he can pull off a boring ass upset.

In all likelyhood though I see herman having much superior striking - so if starks doesn't have success in the early going with tds, we could see another short fuse tko in the 1st. Or herman could sub him off his back as I'm sure no one can definitively say where stark's sub defense is at. So I'm bassically gambling with no knowledge lol that stark's sub defense is good enough to defend anything herman throws off his back while getting grinded on.

Another reason I'm playing him because I'm up nicely over the past month, otherwise I wouldn't touch this.

Thompson looking like he has reverse UFC debut stage fright. "Where the **** is everybody?"

**Educ8d Degener8** · 02-04-12, 07:09 PM

Let's go boys...

Rooting for Stittgen here 'cos I like seeing hype trains derailed... when I'm not backing them...

**spurginobili** · 02-04-12, 07:10 PM

I'm looking forward to see Thompson's striking

**hels** · 02-04-12, 07:20 PM

Ya know, I'm cool with thanking jesus and god and all that but I believe it's more important to thank everyone you train with, your coaches, your sponsors and just the people that give you the opportunity to enter the octagon.

**jacktheknife** · 02-04-12, 07:29 PM

Damn, don't downplay the Chuck Norris slapfight league, huh?

Kinda wish Stittgen would've answered some pressing questions about Thompson, but hell if I won't take it. 1 down.

**hels** · 02-04-12, 07:30 PM

O1.5 this fight

This. Learned nothing 'bout Thompson's ground game / TDD.

That "shot" from Stittgen may be the worst I've seen in the UFC... press forward with arms flailing, lol... nice wrestling pal.
