I dissagree with your opinion about the first BJ and GSP fight.
I saw the fight live and had money on GSP to win. At the time i wasnt that big of BJ fan, and i was fully cheering for GSP in that fight. But BJ won my respect after that fight. I was sitting there cheering for GSP and yet BJ surprised the heck out of me. I was surprised when i thought BJ won the first round, GSP the 2nd and to be honest i couldnt pick a winner in the 3rd round of that fight. I said to my buddy after the fight ended "I wouldnt want to be a judge for this fight". Its rare that i cant pick a winner for a fight, but that night i could notpick a winner. GSP was one of my fav fighters at the time and BJ was a fighter who i knew had alot of talent but i wasnt a big fan of. He defiantly earned my respect that fight (for a 2nd time).
I do agree with you on the UFC being a bit to crazy lately, but then again we are in a recession and Dana White is just trying to get some contraversy to sell more tickets i guess. Of course i could do without all the trash talking and drama, as real mma fans know who the fighters are and dont really need or want all the trash talking,etc. Ive only met GSP before and no BJ, but they both seem like really good people who love there family and have great values, despite what you might see right before a fight. ANd dont get me started on Silva (the guy who selects the fights).
I do still enjoy Dream/Pride more then UFC, but i cant front, i love MMA and when two of the biggest stars in mma atm are going at it, i gotta see that hehe.
Either way these are two of my all time fav figthers going at it. So ill be a happy camper on saturday no matter who wins. :)
If it goes the distance i think GSP will have the advantage in round 4 and 5 and thats the way i see him winning, by rounds and having more energy later on. As much as i enjoy watching GSP fight, hes not knocking out BJ this fight. (BJ has never quit or been knocked out from punches in his career). If Bj wins i think it will be a submission win or ko though (Serra made GSP tap out from punches in there first fight, and BJ is 10000 times a better fighter then Serra, so i hope GSP isnt looking past BJ like he did to Serra).
As far as BJ being better then when they last fought, i personally think both GSP and BJ are much better fighters now then when they fought last. GSP has been training with the gracie camp in Brazil last year, along with learning other new stuff and is much more versatile now. BJ is more powerful now then he was before and hes in better shape.
