I love how no one has said anything about UFC 124... GSP wins a 5 round decision??? SHOCKER!!! Overall the card turned out better than I thought it would be. It looked like crap on paper, but there was several good fights.

How about the ALISTAIR "THE REEM" OVEREEM winning the K-1 World Grand Prix!!! He's easily one of the top combat sports fighters on the planet. Dana needs to commit to getting him into the UFC, because I don't think there's anyone in the HW division that could stop him. There's a few interesting matchup's possible in Strikeforce (vs Werdum, Barnett, Bigfoot Silva), but Fedor's management seems intent on ducking him indefinitely.

I really enjoyed the UFC 124 card. I thought the GSP Koscheck fight was great as well. I think any criticism for that fight needs to be placed solely on Koscheck's shoulders as he had absolutely no answer for GSP's stand-up and couldn't make any adjustments to counter or nullify his jab over a full 25 minutes. Hell, did Kos land a single significant strike the whole fight? Maybe I blinked and missed it.

He got a decent face shot in early.

Only one.

Is there anyone that watches the sport that thought Koscheck ever had a chance? That Jake Shields has a chance? That Jon Fitch could do anything different other than bruise the other side of his face? GSP will only lose when he stops caring against that line-up of talent.

There will be 50 MMA events next year between Strikeforce and UFC. Saturation!

The Reem is going to have to pass a drug test first to get into UFC.

[Jamie Coville]

Yeah and the Reem hasn't been going up against top level talent. He's good, make no bones about that but I think he's only be a contender at best at UFC.

And yeah, 124 was the best card in a a while. Lots of decent finishes. I'm looking forward to the Jan 1st card as it looks pretty good too.

The Reem is going to have to pass a drug test first to get into UFC.

Overeem passed drug tests in Strikeforce. I honestly don't think he takes anything illegal.
