Rory vs Woodley for UFC174.
I hope Woodley comes out swinging and KO's him early.

+1. Though I am afraid that this could be a replay of Rory/Jake.

seems like it might be headed that way. The huge difference, is that Woodley has much better wrestling than burger. He might be able to do what Lawler did, and we've seen the power that woodley has. I think rory will be in for a rough night.
I can imagine Woodley having a great first round performance and then losing steam giving up the UD to Rory.
Can't put my finger on it but just not a Rory fan. It may be the way the commentators always tout him as the first guy to train "mma" or just his choice of fashion . My heart is cheering for Woodley but my brain is saying Rory.
re: Rory ..... humility, or lack thereof, places him in the same boat as the Diaz bro's for me. Talented fighters but carry an "air" that I just don't cotton to.

I quit being a Rory fan after his bout with BJ Penn, it's not that he wasn't impressive, he was, but the Ali style shuffling drove me nuts. I did love watching him throwing Nate Diaz around like a rag doll.

Well said. I really wanted to like him...young Canadian kid, well spoken, clean cut, but as you said...he just comes across so aarogant and like he deserves all the hype and the announcers are so over the top with their promotion of him.
I'd like to see a few fight loosing streak to cut him down a notch.

He's a young guy, I think all the hype went to his head.
True, remember Roger Huerta? They hyped him up too, winning street, young, Hispanic, had it going for him.
I know it's not identical but look at the potential that kid had. He started facing tougher competition and then acting.
did you guys watch huerta's last fight? the way he lost was just TERRIBLE.
check this out:
You're welcome? felt so bad for huerta though.
I just want to say that, that as fans.. we have been robbed of not seeing rumble at 205 a long time ago. The guy looked incredible at 205, what seemed to be zero cardio issues. Crisp striking and just amazing takedown defense. He can only go up from here, what a performance from rumble. Yeah sure, he has missed weight too many times, but dana should have let him have a go at 205.
But like rumble said it himself, it was a good thing. Because he matured. Good to see him on the right track. Not even rashad made phil davis look this bad.
what a great card. Good to see PRIDE alumn Gomi win again.
