Gymbo Knows

According to reports Chuck Liddell is ready and he’s in the best shape of his life.  No more “CHUCK BELLY” and you know what that means? That means an easy victory for the Iceman and a chance for him to get back on track.  If Chuck can pull off a dominant performance over Rich Franklin that could possibly throw him back in the mix.

Chuck needs this victory bad and if he can get the W then we’ll start seeing the Iceman’s name being thrown in their with Machida, Rashad Evans, Shogun and all the other top light heavyweights in the UFC.  Well maybe not right away but if Chuck can manage to string together 2 or 3 victories then he’ll be back in title contention.

After GSP defeated  Koscheck, Matt Hughes, Matt Serra, Thiago Alves, and Jon Fitch it sent the UFC scrambling to find the next #1 Contender in the welterweight division. That man is Dan Hardy and no one is giving him a chance vs GSP. To be honest with you I don’t see him beating GSP either.  GSP is on a tear right now and that loss to Serra was probably the best thing that could of happen to him. It taught GSP a valuable lesson in not to take anyone lightly and I’m sure he won’t overlook Hardy.  Hardy will be destroyed just like the rest of them.

If you didn’t catch UFC 107 you missed one of the best Pound for Pound fighters in the world put on a clinic.  For those of you out there who thought Diego “Nightmare” Sanchez had a chance at beating Penn you were all sadly mistaken.  For those of you who bet on Diego Sanchez I’m sure you were a little upset about how easy your money was taken right from your pocket.  Right now Diego is having NIGHTMARES about the whooping BJ Penn put on him.

So if Diego was the so called #1 contender in the 155 lb division and Penn dominated him that easily then where do we go from here.  Do we just create a new belt and have the rest of the 155 division battle it out to be named the 2nd place champion?? Right now that doesn’t sound like a bad idea..
