How do you see the fight going? George wins via armbar from spiderweb? RNC? Strikes from the full mount?

If George has spent even 4-8 hard hours a week on focused JJ training since his last fight, he'll be able to win from any position on the ground. But I'm thinking Armbar/Armcrush from Spiderweb.Quote:

I would love to see Sots give Siver another eyebrow with some crackbows.
Nice.
I'd love to see an arm triangle or a darce but I don't think they are go to moves for him so I'm thinking a kimura from north south.
WAR George! Sots via 2nd rd arm bar.
Twister pass to tsc, mount h+ a triangle
War George!
I really think George got the shaft in this fight. To me Denis Silvers only notable win is over Spencer Fisher. He has been beat by Ross Person Melvin Guillard and Gray Maynard, everybody good He fought. That being sad I think George will punch right through his stand up take him to the ground and submit him in the first 2 minutes.

=( I want Sots to win, but I don't want it to be a route. One sided @$$ whoopings aren't as fun to watch as tactical wars, but that's just me.Quote:

George by Electric Chair
Excellent fight by Siver. Really implemented his game perfectly. I don't remember George taking a step back even once. He's really got that mental toughness down. Too bad he couldn't work the 3rd option. I'd like to see him fight Dunham now.
George fought with a lot of heart against a VERY physically strong and talented kickboxer. He'll need to add more weapons in his takedown arsenol. The single leg takedown, in particular, needs to be addressed. But George is going to fix this and train his ass off and come back even better than he already is and take the title.
He came back from some vicious knock downs and I really thought looked as if he was going to turn it around in the 2nd round. Great fight!
He looked off, from the start... Something seemed off anyway.. Was he sick? Staph? To me he looked as if he was sick and could barely move when he entered the Octagon... He started looking better after almost being KO'd, but that very well could have been adrenaline and survival instinct, I don't know.
It looked like the weight cut had a negative effect on his performance. In the first round he seemed a little sluggish and unsure to me. And I thought he would eventually find a way to get Siver to the ground.
He was on such a hot streak until the lauzon fight (which he won but looked terrible in the process). This loss might be good for him. Take some time off and work on the holes in his game. Sotiropoulos future UFC Lightweight champ!
Sots has heart and a lot of talent but the obvious hole is..... "the wrastling" I know it's easy to ignore when training Jitz (starting from our knees) but it's a fundemental you need in this MMa game. I think he needed this loss to clearly address this. I know he'll be better for it. Good job to both fighters.
Great fighters lose occasionally on the way to the top. I need to do a little research to back this up, but I believe undefeated actually have pretty bad title records - they still don't know what it is like to lose, and fear the unknown. Champions need to understand every aspect of the game, including losses. It's what happens next. I believe George will do what GSP has done each time he lost. Come back having demolished his own shortcomings, ready to never lose in that way again. I imagine his next fight will showcase better head motion, aggressive takedowns, and even crisper hands. Not saying that George looked terrible - I actually thought he looked good, just making a few errors, and Siver just had a great night. But I still see him earning a title shot some day soon. WAR GEORGE!
