This is nice, but its still 50/50 until the actual fight is finished.
Really? You mean anyone can win? No kidding, thanks for enlightening us...
Yes, Really! But the headline pegs as if GSP already won....Wow look at that!...Next time please take a minute or seconds to go bother yourself to read. Or is that too hard?
You don't need compustrike to figure this one out.
Pretty equaly matched
GSP!!!!!!
Damnit, I'm so excited for this one I'm dreaming about it. I had several dreams that GSP won and we hung out after the fights and shit. If I'm dreaming about the results, can't imagine what the fighters are dreaming.
I'm pretty sure compustrike just make all these numbers up
