serb-1 Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Now that we have a day to cool down, we can all look back at UFC 132 and see what impressed us, and what didn't with the fighters. I'll start! 1) Melvin Guillard is a tank and as long as it is kept standing he has the power and speed to knock anyone out. Unfortunately, I think Gray Maynard definitely has his number, and I think Frankie could beat him, in all honesty. 2) G-sot got caught. **** happens when you stay in the pocket, I think he'll come back strong from that. 3) Condit is a beast and DHK got what was coming to him. NBK hit a beautiful sweep to show off his ground game (against a guy with a great base like DHK) and then KTFO'd him. Deserves a title shot after this, or at least Jon Fitch/BJ Penn winner for the shot. 4) ****in Tito. The first bet I lose is when Tito wins, get some bookies to figure out those odds. Bader seems a tad overrated over his last few performances but it is possible he got caught and I will still be a fan of his. (even though he lost... to Tito) I'm happy though that Tito got a win, he deserves it. NOW RETIRE 5) The Siver Fever lives on! Even if it was a really controversial decision, Siver showed his TDD and I hope he trains off his back more because he didn't really seem to know what to do when he got there. I think Wiman will now float off into obscurity.. 6) Leben still has that power man, and Wandy should retire imo. Even though the fight of the decade lasted 20 seconds, it was fun. 7) People still can't figure out Cruz, who showed excellent wrestling scrambles and movement. If Faber can't do it, I think Cruz will rule the BW division with an iron fist. your guys thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pessimist_Pete Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 1. Guillard will walk through anyone at LW, including Maynard and Edgar. I've been saying this for a while. Jackson's camp has filled holes in his game- namely submission defense. I read in an interview that they work jitz and wrestling 3 hours a day, nearly every day. 2. Carlos Condit is in fact a natural born killer. With two very impressive KOs against top 10 guys who nobody else has been able to finish, his stock is at an all time high. 3. Leben is one of the mist entertaining fighters in the UFC. I'm not sure what he makes, but they should double it. The guy is simply great for the sport. 4. Tito is far from finished. I think he has three or four more fights left. I'd like to see him fight Shogun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He barely gets past Stephens, takes out two mid tier fighters and you think he will "walk through" the two top fighters in the division? Wow, board the hype train much?

johnnyalpha1 Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 132 was awesome! Wiman got straight up robbed and condit deserves a title shot for sure! No if ands or buts about it, condit is one of the best and aggressive fighters at 170 and even if he doesn't get a title shot there are so many match-ups that would draw many viewers.

He certainly has some sick killer instinct, I can't wait to see him match up against the top 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iNOOB Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 This was an absolutely sick card. Great fights nearly top to bottom. Guillard looked very clean and crisp with his striking. Condit had a great KO. Siver/Wiman was exciting Tito surprised me.... and pretty much the world. I wasn't too happy to see Wandy lose. But, at least the fight delivered. Faber/Cruz was very good also. I think if Faber had a little bit more reach, he would have beaten Cruz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BESERKER Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Condit did what he needed to do, finish the undefeated DHK Roller & Bader choked RDS catching the very difficult to catch Sotiropoulos Faber w/ the crappy game-plan excellent prelims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
