I'm hoping GSP 'trolls' the world like Silva did.

Then you do not want to miss this Saturday's upcoming title defense old friend.

Just throwing some of the amazing accomplishments of GSP's career:

-Shares the record for most wins in UFC bouts (18) with his long time rival Matt Hughes.

-Shares second place for the longest win streak in UFC (11) with Royce Gracie. A victory over Hendricks would extend the streak to 12

– still a long way to catch up to Anderson Silva’s 16-fight undefeated run.

-At 20 total fights in UFC, Georges is currently only tied for the fifth place. Of course having been champion for so long means that he fights less often than most non-title-holders. The injury layoff and a couple of stints as a coach on The Ultimate Fighter didn’t help this matter either.

-Tied with Anderson Silva for most wins in title bouts (11) – and will take the first place if he can defeat Johnny Hendricks.

-8 consecutive title defenses – second most in the UFC history, and another win will put him within reach of tying Anderson’s record of 10 consecutive defenses.

-13 total UFC title bouts – second only to Randy Couture with 15.

-5 hour, 3 minutes, and 12 seconds total Octagon time, which puts Georges at only 39 seconds behind the record-holder BJ Penn. Unless Hendricks catches GSP very early, expect him to far surpass Penn’s record on the 16th.

-St. Pierres’ victory over John Fitch in 2008 is the third most lopsided 5-round decision in history, with the scores of 50-43, 50-44, 50-44.

Nick Diaz is shithouse. The only WW I like is Condit.

So what's your call for tomorrow?

James Te Huna picks GSP to win.

[Tomahawk Fox]

GSP by the obvious. If not, I'll eat my crow.

The rest are harder to guess, not as confident in these picks.

Evans>Sonnen
Lawler>MacDonald
Woodley>Kos
Elliot>Bagautinov
Corrone>Dunham

I don't know why so many people put faith in pro's picks. I'm not saying you are, since you're obviously paraphrasing your countryman, but so many people on Sherdog act as if a pro fighter's pick means something.

90% of the time they're highly influenced by whether said fighter is on good terms with the fighter selecting them. Obviously a fighter that trains at the same gym as another fighter is not going to pick against them, so why should a Pro's Pick mean anything?

Also, this thread should be changed to "DR's Official UFC Thread", the actual variety of "MMA" in here is pathetic. Seriously, considering the non-PPVs barely get mentioned, it's sad. I consider myself a casual fan, yet I still feel more informed than this sad excuse for a thread.

well it was the mma/boxing thread before. You should post something. Most people here probably post on other forums for boxing and MMA. If there is a event people will discuss it. Contribute more of the content you wish to be discussed and people will.

Easy win for Ward tonight downunder? really looking forward to george groves/froch next week. My brother is good mates with groves so I have been following him a lot, would be great to see him get the win.

2nd round KO for lawler tonight

I'm a terrible MMA fan. I bitch and moan about everything, I struggle to understand why I watch it most of the time since I complain about it so much.
