    I hadn't heard that Helio Gracie had died. Talk about legends in MMA/BJJ. He lived a long life and contributed a lot to the sport. :(

    On a more "ass-kicking" note, what do you guys think about the GSP vs. Penn fight tonight? I'm pulling big-time for Penn because he's always been one of my favorite fighters. I just hope he comes in shape.

    Should be a great fight. I'm leaning towards GSP.

    I'm rooting for GSP he's a cool guy and IMO he is the only true elite/ world class athlete in the UFC.

    I'm a huge Penn fan. I hope he comes to the fight in shape because GSP is going to be ready. It's going to be a great card tonight.


    RIP Helio Gracie. :(

    When did Helio Gracie pass? That sucks.

    I'm rooting for GSP. I love Penn in the cage but outside he is such a douchebag.

    I hope Penn kicks GSP's ass. If he's focused and in shape, I think he'll pull out a sub in the 2nd or 3rd.

    If GSP wins, it could set up a super fight between him and The Spider.

    That would be GINORMOUS! :eek:

    I like GSP's chances if the fight goes long, but Penn could win at any point because I think if GSP gets caught in a submission hold that causes any kind of pain, he'll tap. :D I like GSP and would love to see a fight between him and Anderson Silva, but I've always like Penn as a fighter and always wanted the guy to get some cardio so he could live up to his moniker "The Prodigy". He says this is his true weight class and thinks GSP will tap out... we'll see how well he stacks up.

    Boring so far. Compared to the Affliction card last week it's gonna be hard for UFC to compare.
