John Gettle vs. William Kowalksi

ENTIRE FIGHT VIDEO:

POST-FIGHT INTERVIEW WITH JOHN GETTLE

I was excited to see Vitor and Anderson fight, but I would also like to see Chael Sonnen fight Anderson, and I actually think Chael might be a tougher fight for him than Vitor would be right now.

They cut “The Antidote”, is what I’m hearing. BOOOOO to this. Supposedly he says he is not retiring, and would still like to fight for the UFC, and kick Tito Ortiz’ ass at some point.

and RANDY COUTURE over MARK COLEMAN…

This is going to be a great fight. Yes, they’re old…I don’t care. I’m not going to enjoy seeing either guy lose…but it will be a great fight. Even if it ends in 20 seconds, even if it goes to a judges decision, it will be a great fight. As long as it doesn’t end with a bad refs decision or an eyepoke, it will be great.

Randy Couture has ALWAYS stayed in the championship hunt, but 10 years ago, who would have thought he would still be championship material? And Mark Coleman…if he can win this, will be right back in contention for a UFC championship.

I am anxiously awaiting the event to start. This card is full of potentially great fights. Here are my picks to win:

BOBBY LASHLEY VS WES SIMS – I would love to see Wes Sims win this, but he won’t. Bobby Lashley will take him down and get the win.

HERSCHEL WALKER VS GREG NAGY – Herschel FTW.

ROBBIE LAWLER VS MELVIN MANHOEF – This fight will end in an awesome way. I would *like* to see Robbie Lawler win this, and I believe he can KO Manhoef, but we’ll see. Someone is getting KO’d.

CRISTIANE CYBORG SANTOS VS MARLOES COENEN – Hmmm.. can anyone really beat Cyborg? I would like to see Marloes win, but I don’t really see it happening.

NICK DIAZ VS MARIUS ZAROMSKIS – I want Diaz to win this. I don’t know much about Zaromskis, except that he has awesome striking (kicks in particular) and does some cool backflips during his fights. He could KO Diaz, but I’ve never seen Diaz KO’d, and I don’t think it will happen tonight.

I am stoked. Sure, Herschel isn’t as young as most MMA fighters, especially one making his debut on a big stage such as Strikeforce, but I hope to see Herschel get a win. Many people are writing him off, saying he is too old or too inexperienced. I disagree. Herschel is a world-class athlete, and at 47 years old, he is still in better physical condition than most men half his age.

Herschel doesn’t need the money, and he doesn’t need the fame. He is fighting as a way to test himself. His opponent will be Greg Nagy (1-1 MMA), who will be looking to make a name for himself by defeating the former NFL and College football star.

I like female fighters…and Roxanne Modafferi is one of my favorites. Congrats to her on a 2nd round submission (Rear naked choke) win over a very talented Molly Helsel at King Of The Cage in Japan.

Jamie Varner is hilarious, in an unintentional way. He was beat easily by Ben Henderson last night, and in his post-fight interview said “I came to fight. Ben was the better man. He caught me in the guillotine. S–t happens. I was winning the fight. I came to fight; Ben came to grapple.”

So, Jamie wanted to “fight”, but instead got choked and started tapping almost immediately. He didn’t even fight the choke, he just tapped out. Then after losing, he insults Ben Henderson for just wanting to “grapple” instead of fight, however, it was Varner who shot in for a takedown (grappling, much?) Oh but wait, he was winning until he got tapped out.

The World MMA Awards show will be shown January 6th on Versus. You’ve probably already seen the awesomely drunken acceptance speech by Diego Sanchez. Well, here are more hilarious videos, such as Randy Couture: Divorce Attorney, and Junie Browning: Life Coach.

How many times has Scott Smith been getting his ass handed to him, only to come back and win in exciting style? This dude is easily one of my favorite fighters to watch. Cung Le was torturing Smith with spinning back kicks and all sorts of other methods, until Smith clipped Le with a left hook that rocked him, and followed up until he KO’d Cung Le and referree John McCarthy stopped the fight. Another comeback victory for Scott Smith.
