So much fighting going on this weekend.

Kenny florian vs Bj Penn, Anderson Silva vs forrest griffen, Miguel Torres vs Brian Bowels.

Should be an awesome couple of days of violence.

WEC.tv for details on the free fight card on versus sunday night.

I'm saying Penn, Silva and Torres. Watched the 5 rounder with Torres and Mizugaki last night...what a brawl!

no way does penn beat florian, I strongly feel that penn is highly over rated.

**flashpipe1** · 08-06-2009, 01:37 PM

Yep, certainly over-rated...but very talented. I think if he can lock up Florian early, he'll take it. If he tries to stand-up and trade and ends up going into later rounds (where he always seems to gas) then Florian's stamina and stand-up will win it for him...

Florian is world class on the ground. Dont forget that. he has only lost once since moving to 155 after joining the ufc, and that was a 5 round descion loss to sean sherk, who really should have died due to blood loss.

**flashpipe1** · 08-06-2009, 02:19 PM

Yes...he did lose to Sherk...great fight...of course, Penn beat Sherk in another great fight when Penn was in some of the best shape he's been in. If he comes in ready to go the full 5-rounds, I think it'll be a great battle...

i think florian is going to make him tap, then bj should just retire.

I agree 100%.
I've been waiting for this match up, Florian is my favorite guy in mma right now.

I'm embarrassed for Forrest griffin. Well done by Bj Penn.

Holy **** i thought miguel Torres was dead. its so creepy seeing someone knocked out on there back, eyes wide open like that.

**flashpipe1** · 08-10-2009, 09:28 AM

Yeah, very shocking. It was the one fight I didn't call right, but, just goes to show, anyone can get caught with one shot that changes everything. It looked like he was just starting to get his rhythm and WHAM!! Brutal...
Excellent weekend...

im shocked the ref didnt stop it earlier then he did(after the 2nd punch when he was down) but to let like 3 more punches land was crazy.

The whole versus card last night was great, not a single disapointing match.
