UFC 107 Extended Trailer: Penn vs. Sanchez, Mir vs. Kongo, Florian vs. Guida
(Props: YouTube.com/UFC)
The UFC hits Memphis for the first time on December 12th, and even though the card is short an Alves and a Duffee, it's still going to be an enjoyable night of fights. Headlining the card is BJ Penn's latest lightweight title defense against Diego Sanchez, who Joe Rogan describes as "crazy in the best way possible." Sanchez already believes that he's the best 155-pounder in the world, and looks forward to proving it to the rest of us. Penn is only looking to have some fun out there, and live his dream for one more night. "I'm going to race you to the center of that ring, player," Sanchez says. "Feel your legs burning in the third round. Feel your lungs gasping for air, but you don't get no oxygen. That's what BJ Penn's gonna feel come 12/12."
But wait, there's more. Frank Mir wants Cheick Kongo to know that "he'll never be the same human being when I get out of that cage with him...when I get a hold of him, it could be the last time he ever gets to compete as an athlete. You're going to see the difference between a well-rounded martial artist versus a guy who never expanded upon his abilities." Kongo, whose feelings are clearly hurt, warns Mir about his big mouth. And finally, Kenny Florian and Clay Guida look to get back to lightweight contendership following recent high-profile losses. The complete UFC 107 lineup is after the jump; your predictions are appreciated.

Defender Says:
I really enjoy watching Clay fight. And I can't stand Florian. Yes, he is a good fighter...but I can tell when he does commentary that he wants you to KNOW just how technical he is...whether you want to hear/see it or not.
Bj does have his shit straight...but I don't know if he's ever fought anyone as hungry as Diego. I have met Diego at a club here in Des Moines before...and that guy is a grade A, 100% pure beef douche. I hope Bj embarrasses him. But realistically I don't see it going like that. My guess is it will go the distance to a decision.
Mir and Kongo is going to be a treat I think. I have no idea where Mir's head is...and Kongo has been proven to have a glass jaw if I'm not mistaken? This one could go either way as far as a win goes. But if Mir wins it will be a submission...Kongo will win by KO.
Fitch's fight will go the distance. I don't know enough about his opponent to make a call on that one.
Paul throws hams...that is pretty much how that fight will go.
Wont look too close at the undercard. The Belcher v Goeveia fight will be good. And I have to give that one to Wilson.
Contraband Says:
I predict at least 3 fighters will pullout by Dec 12th for reasons ranging from chronic masturbation syndrome (CMS) to Viral conjunctivitis. adding more stress to dana whites life.
Jon Fitch vs. Mike Pierce will be in the hands of the judges, Frank Mir vs. Cheick Kongo we will see get tko'd after rnd 2 because he will be gassed. and i predict the same for diego and BJ Penn fight fight with diego being the new champ. then josh koscheck will want to drop to light weight.
831 Son Says:
I dont know why Kevin Burns is on the very fucking bottom portion of the undercard. Besides his retarded eyepokes, that dude puts on a much better show than alot of fighters in the UFC. Cant wait for Diego's entrance, and the staredown. And I hope Mir gets his shit pushed in.
@ Defender-- You really enjoy watching Clay Guida lay and pray the majority of the time? You must enjoy watching Chess matches then huh?
MMA42 Says:
Sanchez v Penn: Penn has nothing to prove and just wants to collect checks. Sanchez has everything to lose. With this, I'll take Penn.
Mir v Kongo: Mir got rocked, and Kongo has been more of a coin flip. I like Kongo via TKO. I don't think Mir will have his head straight yet
Fitch v Pierce: Fitch needs this win to continue being the dark horse for a shot at the title. A Pierce win will put him on the map. Underdog pick: Pierce by Decision
Florian v Guida: The guy who couldn't make it out of the 2nd round, vs a guy who scares the hell out of people and has the cardio of a freak of nature. Florian submits people, and Clay grinds them to a decision. I really like Guida for this fight (and a personal favorite of mine)

fACE7biter Says:
Surprised to hear from Defender that Diego is a huge douche. I knew he was crazy, but I didn't think he was a shithead. Ah well, BJ acts like a fucking cunt despite being a very talented fighter. I hope Diego takes it, the guy is just too entertaining, both as a fighter and as a sociopath.
Speaking of chemical imbalances, Frank Mir did a recent interview with Fighters Only where he sounded NUTS. He's basically taking the Lesnar loss so badly that he's putting a major emphasis in his training on gaining size and strength. He said outright that his goal is ending Brock Lesnars career(he had a little help already from Brock's intestines), and wants to match his physical attributes next time they meet. How far he's come along is anyones guess, but I'm pretty curious to see how jacked Mir is going to look on the 12th. Either way, Kongo might be too one dimensional to handle Mir. I have to admit thogh, I fucking loved Kongo smashing Mustapha AL Turk to death.
Defender Says:
@ fACE - I posted a link from when he was here. It has to be approved by the admin...guess they think it could be spam. if it's approved...you will see what I mean :)
robthom Says:
Mir vs. Kongo is real?!
Somebody mentioned it on another forum and I thought they were just being snarky. I actually thought it was pretty funny!
I love me some UFC, but sometimes when I see things like this I think that they might be taking me for granted.
Merlin Says:
NICE CARD!
A lot of FFF's.
se7ensenses Says:
BJ will win by TKO from drinking the blood of his enemies
Kongo by stoppage due to kneeing Mir repeatedly in the junk
Fitch by EAR naked choke
Guida by lay and pray cave man hammer fists. unga bunga
and Struve by random act of freak show height
iDestroy Says:
What the hell!? Why is Palhares fighting on the undercard when he's our only hope of beating Anderson?!
Anyway, Penn by KO from flying crotch thrust
Palhares by flying gogo in 14 seconds.
The rest who cares..
skeletor Says:
@exes.for.iballs
You've got to be trolling for arguments with that one.
Penn-Just so Diego finally kills himself
Mir-Talk Congo into suicide with his overinflated sense of self worth
Guida-what the fuck do you think
Fitch-Will continue to beat nobodies until the UFC forces him to start fighting team mates since he'll never beat GSP
Buentello-who the fuck cares
yerdoneson Says:
Sanchez wins the foot-race to the centre of the octagon, loses the fight in the octagon
Kongo by big mouth-shuttage
Guida climbs on Kenny's back and refuses to get off for 15 minutes
iDestroy Says:
@skeletor
Trolling? Anyone who's seen Palhares fight would never say such a thing. You better jump on the band wagon now that way you can say you liked him before it was cool.
Kinda like how I liked Leonard Garcia back when he was shoot fighting in rodeo arenas. Although I guess its not really cool to like Leonard Garcia.
BigCountrysChol... Says:
Skeletor calling someone a troll is like Josh Barnett calling Cyborg a cheater. Take that shit with a grain of salt, homie.
iDestroy Says:
Yeah, only Barnett didn't cheat he's just such a bamf that his body produces abnormal amounts of hgh and other performance enhancing drugs.
Just like sherk.
Dante Says:
Penn
Mir
Guida
Fitch
The only thing Sanchez is winning is the award for awesome focused entrance. Hopefully Aoki is watching.
WARRRR PENN!
Hamma Fist Elbo... Says:
I'm picking Diego by positive thinking. YES! YES! YES!
Goat Says:
My Prediction?
Pain.
Spidey Sense Says:
When Sanchez goes after Penn the same way he went after Guida, forget about it. Penn's gonna think GSP has a little latino brother. Then he'll accuse him of greasing, steroids, and crystal meth. He'll have to bring meth in because that's something new.
Mir's gonna take it since I have never seen Kongo do anything. Who the fuck is Mustapha al Turk? Sounds like something out of the WWF. Building him up is reminiscent of using Rashad Evans' big knockout of Sean Salmon as fuel for the publicity machine. Salmon was a big pile of insignificant shit then, and look at his awesome career today!
Florian reads too much of his own press. As in, after seeing GSP destroy Penn, he was telling himself, "Hey, I'm technical. I've been working on my strength training a lot. I have good cardio, I can take the title..." Kenny, you got smoked by Penn because you forgot that you're not in his or GSP's league when you got your shot, and you looked like a guy who was fighting way above his level. He embarassed you. Remember that, 'cause Guida is going to make you wish you had called in sick that day with his, shall we call it, "uniqueness".
Fitch.
Buentello - is this guy still around?
UFC fan Says:
Yeah I got Diego by TKO stoppage.
Mir should submit kongo cause Kongo has no ground game.
Fitch by total and complete destruction, maybe KO of the night.
Florian will get beat to hell but win by sub, most likely rear naked.
I think Buentello will chop Struve "chop it down with the edge of my hand-Voodoo child" style , ha.
DICK_KICK Says:
Penn, f#ck Diego
Mir, sub
Fitch, beastly and still gets no respect from the UFC
Guida v Florian could go either way
Struve, Buentello is a boxer
dlb Says:
Man, the UFC needs to get some HBO 24/7 type stuff going. I need more of Diego's craziness.
Best card in a while, really excited about it.
C-Bus Allstar Says:
I'm surprised there are as many people picking Sanchez over Penn.. How soon we forget how Penn made Florian look like an amateur.. Sorry Sanchez, you're hungry, and you're skilled, but you're not beating Penn in his prime (which, to be honest, I consider this his prime. He hasn't looked as good in training or in fights as he has the last couple outings..)
Barc Says:
Penn... always
Frank Mir subs Cheick Kongo
Jon Fitch decision every time
Kenny will cut Clay's melon wide open in the first 30 seconds of that fight. I'd love to see Clay win; because, I've been pulling for him ever since KotC. My heart says Guida, my rational mind says Florian.
Paul Buentello vs. Stefan Struve, huh? I'd way rather see Wiman, Palhares, or DaMarques. I really don't care about this fight.

Big LOL @goat

"Penn is only looking to have some fun out there". Heh heh. Heh heh. You said "penis".

J-Dog Says:
I wonder if Diego is bringing his buddy Dan Quinn to be in his corner. Do you think the athletic commission tests for Stevia? You know he'll be snorting lines of that shit between rounds.
MediumRare Says:
Penn via 4th round gnp face smashing (followed by glove licking)
Mir via Congo's complete lack of ground game
Fitch via 3rd round rear naked humiliation
Guida via annoying chimp-style lay 'n' pray decision
Struve via 2nd round strangulation
