UFC 167 and Favorite Fighters
By Scott Keith on November 15, 2013
Hey Scott: In another break from the usual talk, any thoughts on the upcoming UFC fight? I'm personally excited to see GSP fight a tough opponent in Hendricks, although I'm pretty sure he's going to walk away with his usual unanimous decision.
On the subject of UFC, do you have any fighters that you love to follow? Brock was one for most of us, certainly, and Canadians are almost honour-bound to love GSP, but anybody else find themselves on your must-watch list?
Yay! UFC talk for a change!
I think that if Hendricks isn't the guy to finally beat GSP, then no one will. We know George can be knocked out (and now we know that Silva isn't unkillable either) and Hendricks got kind of screwed out of having a title shot last time around, so this might be the best chance to end GSP's run. I think it's either a shockingly quick KO for Hendricks or GSP grinds out his usual decision. Personally although I love GSP, it's time for someone new on top of the division.
As for fighters, I find myself more invested in the Ultimate Fighter guys I've watched over the years, for obvious reasons. I've been following the oddball careers of Matt Mitrione, Brendan Schaub and Roy Nelson since that season they were on together, for example. I used to be a huge Jon Jones fan but he's kind of pissed away that goodwill now with being a dick all the time. I'm also finding myself surprisingly sucked into Vitor Belfort's latest comeback story as well.
