These don't sound like the words of a humble man to me. It was also funny to hear Stevenson talk (in the pre-fight clips) about Guillard's cockiness, when IMO, he's just as bad.Quote:

Doesn't seem very cocky to me. I think his actions after the fight speak for itself. He could have easily talked trash on Guillard after handing him his lunch and didn't. Seems like a nice guy to me.
Personally I'm real excited about the next year or so in MMA. Hopefully all the guys that we want to fight will finally be able to. I'm hearing rumors over at Sherdog about Fedor and Bodog and Wanderlei not coming over. . .but I gotta believe they're not true.
As for this weekend. . .I'll be surprised if Serra can make it much of a fight. He's got heart, but GSP is just so damn good. I can't see Serra beating him really. I AM excited about the Koscheck Sanchez fight. I really don't like either of them, but I've NEVER liked Sanchez. Can't deny his talent, but it's the attitude that kills me. I just hope the two of them beat the hell out of each other and Sanchez loses. Should be a good fight though.
While this card is a little underwhelming. . .next UFC should be ridiculous. Aside from all the fights that are on it. . .the damn thing is free. Can't beat that at all.
I'll admit that he does seem sincere in that interview. So I'll retract my cocky comment, but for whatever reason he still seems over-confident to me. I believe that the pre-fight talk says as much about one's character as the post-fight talk. I'll all for believing in your own abilities, but with Stevenson, it seems to me like he "believes his own hype". But I'm sure he's a nice guy outside the cage.Quote:

Serra TKOs GSP.

No kidding! He kind of got lucky and I think Serra knows it...Quote:

Lucky perhaps, but lets give the guy some credit. He wasn't afraid to get inside GSP's reach and he finished GSP when he had him hurt.Quote:

No heart from Diego, especially after all that trash talk.
It was a boring fight, but Koscheck fought a good technical fight and he should get credit for doing so.
Agreed. It was definitely a good UFC event overall, barring the Sanchez/Koscheck fight which was downright frustrating!Quote:

He stood around and anytime he made a move to get inside, it was half hearted. If Koscheck didn't land a good right, Deigo would back up anyway. Can't put into words how happy I am about that result. . .and I don't even like Kos.
Can we get a **** yeah for that LW fight too? Jesus those guys showed some heart and some chins. Yeah. Sometimes it was sloppy, but you gotta give credit to those guys. Just unloaded on each other and neither would quit.
WOW
I'm watching the morning Sportscenter and they showed highlights of GSP-Serra. That threw me for a loop.
