UFC 129 Promo-All 7 Current UFC Champs available for Q&A vs Boxing promos & pressers

[Captain America]

Cool idea, I haven't seen the video yet though.

I like that some of the champs and fighters always wear suits. Guys like GSP, Machida, Edgar, Rashad, etc. make the sport look better. It helps to shed the "human cockfighting" image.

In regards to GSP vs Silva: I think you're right about the size difference being too much. Until about a year and a half ago, GSP was an average sized WW (Zahabi says he'll weigh about 193 tonight, 10 pounds more than he weighed against Alves July '09), while Silva starts his camps around 220 and cuts from around 205. 13 pounds (~6 kg) is a huge difference in this sport at that level, plus Silva's like 4 inches (10 cm) taller with gorilla arms. GSP has the style to beat him, but there's weightclasses for a reason.

On Jones vs Silva: Silva said last week that he a Jones are great friends now and could never fight him. It'd be an interesting fight, but Jones is around 220 on fight night. I think Silva's smart to only fight hand picked opponents at LHW (Irvin's a can and Forrest was custom made for Silva, though the new wrestle first Forrest might beat his ass, he's huge at 205), he's big at MW, but below average at 205. Plus, there's a lot of wrestlers at LHW, he'd lose as often as not to the top guys there.

About superfights: The advantage of a single, strong commission/promotion is that big fights get made, period. As long as both men are in the same weightclass, there should be no reason not to fight (provided they're ranked similarly: Fitch vs Koscheck ought to happen, either vs Swick, not so much). I think it's absolutely absurd that Pacquiao and Mayweather have yet to fight, and it took Haye and the Klitschko's too long to come to a deal as well. For the most part, the best fight the best in MMA (occasionally guys like Fitch and Machida have to win 8, while guys like Jones, Shields and Brock only need 1-5).

The UFC knows what they're doing, and I hope that they're on par with boxing one day and both can work together. An MMA and boxing card with title fights for both would be epic.

I kind of rambled a little at the end there, my bad. I get side tracked and carried away occasionally.
