Wondering if anyone is into MMA here? Feel free to talk about favourite fighters, orgs, the sport itself if you practice it and basically anything concerning MMA.

To get the ball rolling, anyone else watching UFC 124 tonight? Thoughts on the GSP vs. Koscheck fight?

Been a long time GSP fan and hoping he picks up another win tonight. From past performances he's far more versatile and athletic than Koscheck, and I think he'll have little problem dominating no matter if the fight stays standing up or goes down to the ground. Koscheck made a few comments about how he figured GSP would try to avoid standing up with him and try to take him down, but I can't see GSP avoiding stand up given that he's a fairly good striker himself. That said, I think wherever GSP wants the fight to go, that's where he'll take it give he's likely the UFC's strongest Welterweight. As far as Koscheck, too much talk and fairly mediocre performance, imo, considering the calibre of the majority of fighters he's faced in the past versus those GSP has faced who have been some of them top Welterweights in the organisation. We'll see tonight though!

In the spirit of tonight's competition:
