The UFC 103 Open Thread/Discussion And Quick Results
As always, make sure you join us tonight starting at 9pm EST to discuss the fights at UFC 103. A lot of questions will be answered tonight, however, the weigh in's yesterday added more intrigue to the fights. Vitor Belfort's physique didn't look at impressive as it usually does. Efrain Escudero and Hermes Franca looked sort of suspect as well. I mean for 155'ers, they were not cut up at all. I mean I know Franca isn't a Lee Labrada or anything with the abs, but come on man. Anyways, Dos Santos looked much larger than Cro Cop as well. Also, as always NO SPOILERS, as some of the preliminary fights could make the LIVE broadcast. Please remember that the Escudero/Miller and McFedries/Drwal will air LIVE on Spike TV at 9pm EST.

I'll be busy abroad
But when (if) Matt gets a post up for the show, drop in some questions/comments. Forrest and I are gonna be flying without Matt, and could use some material to yammer on about!

Yeah, he claims to be “working” and will be unable to watch the event… which is why we’re forced out of my basement to the local Buffalo Wild Wings to catch it.

My predictions for tonight
Griffin/Franka: Hermes has a pretty decent guillotine and some power in his hands (his punches come from weird angles), but I believe he’ll get Sherk’d here, Griffin 30-27.
Koscheck/Trigg: Trigg is wiley and Josh isn’t exactly a strategical genius but if Josh does what he should, i.e. put Trigg on his back and pound on him, he should get the easy decision (or even a late TKO). If he starts swinging it might yield him a knockout but things become more random giving Trigg a better chance. Still, I see Josh pulling this one out.
Kampmann/Daley: Daley has 1-punch KO, but Kampmann is a pretty damn decent kickboxer himself – enough to nullify the offense of Daley. The key to victory for Kampmann will be his greco-styled clinch takedowns and his submission acumen; I believe he’ll sub Daley early in the 2nd.
Filipovich/Dos Santos: I think time has robbed Mirko of some of the snap in his punches and kicks and watching footage of Dos Santos training I got to say he’s a beast with the hands. To win this, Mirko needs to stay on the outside and utilize leg kicks (cautiously though, he DOES NOT want to invite Dos Santos to into the pocket). I think Dos Santos will catch Mirko in the 2nd round and put his lights out.
Franklin/Belfort: I’m not convinced Belfort is “back”, I’ll get on the bandwagon if he beats Franklin – NOBODY but the elite beats Rich and it won’t be a fluke. I tried to visualize this fight earlier and I see Vitor tagging Rich early but growing discouraged with being unable to finish him and losing steam. I see Vitor turtling up on the ground, covering his faces and Rich finishing him with lackluster ass hammerfists.
Bloody hell.

SO they should stop a fight once an RNC is or gillatine is applied right?
...some call me "el mexicutioner"...
No
But stopping a fight due to strikes is perfectlt legit. Comparing strikes vs subs isn’t even close to similar.
When a guy is still standing, that normally means he isnt out yet
...some call me "el mexicutioner"...
yea
after seeing the replay…kampmann was done.
