UFC 111

There are only two fights on tonight's card that I care about.

GSP vs Dan Hardy.

GSP may actually kill Dan Hardy. I think the Vegas line currently has GSP as a 10-1 favorite. I think they are just being nice on Hardy.

Frank Mir vs Shane Carwin. A close match-up. 2 big strong 265 lb. heavyweights. Mir has tighter striking and crazy good ju-jitsu. Carwin has more power in his strikes and stronger take-downs.

I pick Mir. He has more experience and has been in the cage with top top fighters. This will be Carwin's first fight with a top 5 world fighter.


The rest of the card is solid and evenly matched, guys like Jon Fitch are fighting. Fitch already lost to GSP and tonight's fight was going to be against Alves, another GSP victory. Both Fitch and Alves are close, they are almost almost great. And tonight's fight would have put one of them back in title contention for a rematch against GSP. Alves can't fight due to medical and is replaced by Ben Saunders, a good fighter but I think Fitch will use him up.


On another note: Dan Hardy has a Tibetian saying tattooed on his stomach. In the promos, UFC airbrushed out the tat because they don't want to piss off China, where they are trying to break into. On the off off off chance that GSP trips over his own feet and knocks himself out and Hardy wins, he should stand up there in the post fight interview and shout "Free Tibet!"

I don't care about Tibet too much, but I do care that the UFC airbrushed out his tat.
