MC you got your wish and JDS vs Hunt is on. Hunt better throw all he has in the first round and go for a finish quickly. His gas tank isn't the best and JDS is a tick better in that category. If he gases by the end of the first JDS will pick him apart. But maybe and just maybe if JDS gets sloppy Hunt will find a way to land one and KO him like he did Struve. I would really like Hunt get a title shot just so he can say he has fought for no matter the outcome.


My take on the fights this weekend.

GSP vs Diaz. Depending on how badly Diaz has really gotten inside GSP's head and sent him to his "dark place" or not will be the deciding factor in this fight. If he gets GSP out of his normal routine and stands and bangs with Diaz, GSP may find himself in trouble. But I don't really see that happening and he will take Diaz down and lay 'n' pray for five rounds with occasional ground 'n' pound. Diaz best bet is to wake up prior to the 5th round like he did with Condit and work for a submission early. GSP by decision. As much as I would like to see Diaz upset GSP I am fine with that. Cuz I want to see Big Rig KO him in the next one.

Hendricks vs Condit. This is an intriguing matchup. Will Condit run away from Hendricks the whole fight? Will Hendricks be able to cut off the ring if he does? Let's face it Condit did not fight in the Diaz battle. While it may have been a smart game plan for him it was less than entertaining. Very disappointed in that match and it took him down a peg or two in my book. Put that same performance on in the Bellator series and Diaz would of been given the decision the same way Doug Marshall was given it last week. But I digress and on to the task at hand. I believe Hendricks is quick enough to cut the cage off. Bad news for Condit. Big Rig by KO.

Ellenberger vs Marquardt. Only two ways I see this fight ending is if Ellenberger finds himself fading in the third round and standing. Marquardt will work his combos and get a TKO. But if he fights smart he will grind out a decision.
