Bump for discussion. Seems like nobody here is counting Hardy as any opposition. Even standing, could Hardy catch GSP with a knock out? There have to be some Brits here rooting for the home team.
Marcus Davis the the Irish Hand grenade. Not Irish, and when he fought in a UFC promotion in Ireland, he changed his monicker, presumably due to fear for his safety.

Serra is a lot more muscular than Hardy, so Hardy knocking out GSP isn't the same. Admittedly Hardy is probably faster than Serra. I doubt the speed will phase GSP, but it might. Hardy better have his jab loaded if he wants to KO him. Maybe I am wrong, but I can't wonder if Hardy beating GSP would be a bigger upset than when Serra did. Thoughts?
P.S. Marcus Davis has been disappointing. Early fights looked good, recently not so much. Yeah, nice face there Davis. It must have been a close fight Looks like Hardy just got off a carousel and Davis got hit by a truck.

Just out of curiousity, what is it that you don't like about GSP?
I like BJ Penn. Need I say more? Like I said, I respect what the man does; I'm just not a fan. Without putting on the tin foil hat, I still question the Vaseline on the shoulders and neck during the 2nd fight between GSP and Penn.
Agree with another poster though. I'm looking more forward to Mir fight, as well as Ft. Wayne native, and Purdue grad, Jon Fitch!
Is the vaseline thing standard procedure, or is that GSP trying to get the shake on Penn?
vaseline on the face ad cheaks is standard procedure. if helps gloves not stick to your face and slide off. it prevents cuts.
bj claimed gsp put it on his sholders so get couldn't get ahold of him
I've seen it to protect against cuts, but had never heard the allegation about GSPs shoulders.
Is this simply some cry-baby stuff that Mr.Throw-In-The-Towel-In-The-Fourth came up with, or is there legitimate information that GSP did this? I am not ruling out either possibility

Well if Penn didn't have a history of excuses and whimpering, it would be easier to believe the allegations against GSP. Maybe it's all just a facade, but I think GSP is classier than that. I've certainly been fooled before, and he stood to gain a lot, so I wouldn't put it past a person in his position.
As for the remark about not liking GSP just because he beat Penn twice is like saying why wouldn't Cardinals fans like the Cubs just because they beat them twice. I just don't care for GSP, but I respect his craft.

As for the comparisons with Penn; BJ came up in weight class as Bazooka Joe pointed out. I don't want to see a third fight either. Maybe way down the road, meaning a few years, and only if they meet in the middle as far a weight is concerned. For that matter, let's have the fight in Indy too! Half way between Hawaii and Montreal. Until then, let each man dominate their respective weight class and leave it at that.
But enough about Penn and GSP, isn't anyone else a fan of Fitch?
