Alves on GSP: 'I'm Going to Knock him Out'

Very good possibility. Also a good possibility that Alves spends 3-4 rounds on his back getting pounded on. I like both of these guys a lot. Can't wait for this fight.

GSP is a guy that I can't figure out if I hate him or like him...
He's a polarizing figure in the MMA world. Although I'd argue Lesnar to be the most polarizing figure...

I've been rooting for the Jackson camp recently (minus Jardine as always lol). I like how well they gameplan for each fight. I suspect this one will be no different, except if their plan is to take down Thiago and pound him all fight; that might be too obvious. Not to mention Thiago kept Koscheck from taking him down and Koscheck's wrestling is on par with GSP's.
Will be interesting to see what they do. I wouldn't rule out anything. Not even a plan to stand with Thiago for a round or two because that's the last thing his camp is expecting.
Koscheck didn't really try to take him down that many times. he had a sean sherk moment and turned into a kickboxer
it will be interesting to see how GSP responds to being in the cage with someone who's just as big as he is. part of GSP dominance stems from the fact that he's so much bigger than his opponents. that wont be the case this time around, although i still think he's stronger than Alves

Sounds like I found something to do in Vegas next week![]()
I just watched the fight for the first time the other night. I felt Kos did try a couple times (legit shots) but paid the price for it, and gave up. He tried a few more times in the last couple of rounds, but usually because he was rocked.
IMO, Kos is a much better wrestler than GSP, but I agree that GSP's size is what gives GSP the better chance at taking Alves down. However, GSP doesn't have half the chin that Kos does.
I think it is either a TKO for Alves by the end of round 2, or a boring 5 round decision for GSP. I'm hoping for the former.
