ZP updated the thread with high def gifs.

They're all blank.

Anyone know why the Couture gifs were taken down, or where to find them now ?

BJ, BJ, BJ.....
I always said him and Diaz suffer from the same "fighter" mentality. They don;t gameplan. They just fight. They are too confident (egotistical?) to force there will on someone. They just try to fight where ever the fight is. I blame his camp for the bad gameplan and the lack of in-fight adjustments. I blame BJ for picking his camp. Where the hell does he go from here? I can't think of one fight for him at 155 that interests me. I doubt there's one for him. Gomi rematch? I don't think he should fall that far down the ladder. It would sell though and might keep BJ motivated. Maybe switch camps, let Gomi win one here soon (he wasn;t touched in his last fight. Should be ready to go), then do the rematch. Of course, Gomi would have to do his part and win a good fight.

I agree. I think this feeds in to what I was talking about with BJ's distaste for conditioning. He is the ruler of his camp, he gets the final say as to when they train and don't train. It is time (and has been for a while) to jump ship and get to an elite camp. Simple as that. Blackhouse has invited him over, AKA would whip his butt in to shape, just find somewhere else to go.

The problem is, and I just talked about this, is that BJ knows if he switches camps they won't take it easy on him. I think he would pick his Hawaiian lifestyle over daily extreme conditioning without a second thought. It's the reason he is a moderate waste of talent.

They are back up.

They know how to chill in Brasil. Blackhouse could be a perfect fit.

Seeing Toney on his back and Randy on top of him, gave me this mental image of a huge, fat turtle (or cockroach) flipped upside down on his backside, with all 4 legs flailing helplessly with absolutely ZERO chance of turning over and back on his feet.

Interview with James Toney post UFC 118:

Nice interview. It sounds like Toney is a good dude he just knows how to talk **** with the best of them to sell a fight. It definitely worked thats why he's not upset he lost he just cashed in for his family.

Yep, he just knows how to sell a fight. Just like Chael Sonnen, neither of them are as ridiculous as they come off before a fight, they just know how to get people to tune in.

Am I the only one who thinks Aldo would beat Edgar if they fought soon?

[#98QBKiller]

Aldo would do to Edgar what he did to Faber. Stuff takedowns and kick his legs into oblivion. I don't think Edgar will be the champ after he fights Maynard though. I think Maynard is too big for him and his wrestling skills are just as good if not better than Edgar's.

Of course, he's going to come across as a nice guy, after he was humiliated and humbled in front of the whole world. What else can he say, after being so dominated, and made quick work of, in such an undisputed way that no-one can argue ? Did he act like such a nice guy after any of his boxing matches ?

And when the attention in the interview turned to boxers who simply picked him to lose, his real bitter self was exposed. Just because another boxer picks you to lose, it doesn't make that boxer a wimp, just for not stepping in the cage like you did. They're just stating a fact.

for the most part he does

[Mickalino]

Well, you certainly can't accuse Sonnen of merely selling a fight, or put him in the same category as Toney, because Sonnen obviously backed up his talk. So, as far as Sonnen goes, he was speaking what he truly believed and not making some kind of circus act.

Saw this on Sherdog:

He could have said:
"he just laid on me for 4 minutes. That's all they do in that gay "sport", if you can even call it that. Just a bunch of guys trying to hump you. That's why I tapped. He wasn't hurting me. I just wanted him to stop sweating on me and humping me. Sorry, Randy. I don't swing that way. If he ever came to a real sport like boxing I'd kick his ass. I'm done with that mma BS. You can't pay me enough to let another man lay on me. I ain't no whore."

or something like that.
