I totally agree with GSP being pound for pound best fighter, but he is mentally weak and is going to crack in front of his hometown. Unfortunately, I am not returning to MD until Sunday after the fight (late). Trust me, I know I am missing some good trash. Have fun!!

The Judo seminar rocked! Sensei Marshall showed us a new theory on throwing which was "Brilliant". He mentioned he would like to do another seminar in late fall / early winter.

Here is a good article on Toney

HDNet will air Dream 3 on Mothers Day. Rorion's son Ralek Gracie is scheduled to fight along with other good fighters. It's a must see for MMA fans. Dream is owned by K-1 and produced by former Pride Fighting Championship folks. Dream has the same fight rules and time limits as the former Pride fights, less the head stomps and soccer kicks.

Four big name fights in this one...it might be worth the pay-per-view $$$

BJ Penn vs. Sean Sherk

Wanderlei Silva vs. Keith Jardine

Tito Ortiz vs. Lyoto Machida

Rameau Sokoudjou vs. Kazuhiro Nakamura



I'm predicting the guys in red for the wins.

Reminder of the fights tomorrow night on CBS.

Card line up:

Kimbo vs. James "weak chin" Thompson

Gina Carano vs. Katilin Young

Phil Baroni vs. Joey Villasenor

Robbie Lawler vs. Scott Smith

Brett Rodgers vs. John Murphy

and others.

I think James Thompson is strong enough to give Kimbo a run for his money, but he is too predictable. Thompson will likely try to bum rush Kimbo at the ring of the bell, gas out, then get knocked out.

Mixed Martial Arts...

I watched a little bit of that on TV the other night.

In all honesty, it reminded me something of a girls ice hockey game.
