Abstract.---Over the past ten years, the phylogenetic relationships among
higher level artiodactyl taxa have been examined with multiple data sets.
Many of these data sets suggest that Artiodactyla (even-toed ungulates) is
paraphyletic and that Cetacea (whales) represents a highly derived "artiodactyl"
subgroup. In this report, phylogenetic relationships between Cetacea and
artiodactyls are tested with a combination of 15 published data sets plus new
DNA sequence data from two nuclear loci, interphotoreceptor retinoid binding
protein (IRBP) and von Willebrand factor (vWF). The addition of the IRBP and
vWF character sets disrupts none of the relationships supported by recent
cladistic analyses of the other 15 data sets. Simultaneous analyses support
three critical clades: (Cetacea + Hippopotamidae), (Cetacea + Hippopotamidae
+ Ruminantia), and (Cetacea + Hippopotamidae + Ruminantia + Suina). Perturbations
of the combined matrix show that the above clades are stable to a variety
of disturbances. A chronicle of phylogenetic results over the past three
years suggests that cladistic relationships between Cetacea and artiodactyls
have been stable to increased taxonomic sampling and to the addition of over
1,400 informative characters from 15 data sets.

Abstract.---Recent molecular studies are inconsistent with ungulate phylogenetic
trees that are based on morphological traits. These inconsistencies especially
relate to the position of cetaceans and perissodactyls. Evaluation of the
close phylogenetic ties between artiodactyls and cetaceans has been hampered
by the absence of tarsal bones of primitive cetaceans, as artiodactyls are
often diagnosed on the basis of their tarsus. We here describe newly discovered
tarsal bones that are the oldest cetacean tarsals known. We present a
character analysis for primitive ungulate tarsals and evaluate their impact
on the ungulate phylogenetic tree. Tarsal data are consistent with some
molecular studies in suggesting that the extant sistergroup of Cetacea is
Artiodactyla or that Cetacea should be included within the latter order.
Tarsal data do not support Cete (Mesonychia plus Cetacea) and are consistent
with the exclusion of perissodactyls from paenungulates as suggested by
some molecular studies.

Abstract.---We look at the higher-order phylogeny of mammals, analyzing in
detail the complete mtDNA sequences of over 40 species. We test the support for
several proposed super-ordinal relationships. To this end, we apply a number of
recently programmed methods and approaches, plus better established methods. New
pairwise tests show that there is highly significant evidence that amino acid
frequencies are changing among nearly all the genomes studied when unvaried
sites are ignored. LogDet amino acid distances, with modifications to take into
account invariant sites, are combined with bootstrapping and the Neighbor Joining
algorithm to account for these violations of standard models. To weight the
slower evolving sites, we exclude the more rapidly evolving sites from the data
using "site stripping". This leads to changing optimal trees with nearly all
methods. The bootstrap support for many hypotheses varies widely between methods,
and few hypotheses can claim unanimous support from these data. Rather, we
uncover good evidence that many of the earlier branching patterns in the placental
subtree could be incorrect, and this includes the placement of the root. The tRNA
genes, for example, favour a split between the group hedgehog, rodents and Primates
versus all other sequenced placentals. Such a grouping is not ruled out by the
amino acid sequence data. A grouping of all rodents plus rabbit, the old Glires
hypothesis, is also feasible with stripped amino acid data, while rodent monophyly
is also common. The elephant sequence allows confident rejection of the older
taxon Ferungulata (Simpson 1945). In its place, the new taxa Scrotifera and
Fereuungulata is defined. A new likelihood ratio test is used to detect differences
between the optimal tree for tRNA versus that for amino acids. While not clearly
significant as made, there are indications the test is tending towards significance
with more general models of evolution. Individual placement tests suggest alternative
positions for hedgehog, and the elephant. There are striking congruence arguments
to support elephant and armadillo together, suggesting a superordinal group
composed of Xenarthra and African endemic mammals, which in turn may be near the
root of the placental subtree. Thus, the analyses while casting doubt on some
recent conclusions, are also unveiling some interesting new possibilities.

Abstract.---The interordinal relationships of eutherian (placental) mammals
were evaluated by a phylogenetic analysis of four published data sets
(three sequence and one morphological). The nature and degree of support
and conflict for particular groups were assessed by separate bootstrap
and homogeneity tests that were followed by combined analyses of the
sequence and morphological data. Between orders, strong support (i.e., >95%
bootstrap scores) was found for a paraphyletic Artiodactyla (relative to
Cetacea) and a monophyletic Cetartiodactyla (Artiodactyla and Cetacea) and
Paenungulata (Hyracoidea, Proboscidea, and Sirenia). In turn, some
reasonable to strong evidence (>85%) was obtained for Hyracoidea with
Sirenia, Dermoptera with Scandentia, Glires (Lagomorpha with Rodentia),
and Afrotheria (Amblysomus, Macroscelidea, Paenungulata, and Tubulidentata).
Otherwise, no other interordinal clades were supported at these reasonable
to strong levels. This overall lack of resolution for eutherian interordinal
clusters agrees with other studies that further progress will continue to
be slow and difficult. Further resolution will require the integration of
more recently published data, the continued sampling of taxa and characters,
and the use of more powerful methods of data analysis.

Abstract.---We concatenated sequences for four mitochondrial genes (12S
rRNA, tRNA valine, 16S rRNA, cytochrome b) and four nuclear genes [aquaporin,
alpha 2B adrenergic receptor (A2AB), interphotoreceptor retinoid binding
protein (IRBP), von Willebrand factor (vWF)] into a multigene data set
representing 11 eutherian orders (Artiodactyla, Hyracoidea, Insectivora,
Lagomorpha, Macroscelidea, Perissodactyla, Primates, Proboscidea, Rodentia,
Sirenia, Tubulidentata). Within this data set, we recognized nine
mitochondrial partitions (stems and loops, respectively, for 12S rRNA,
tRNA valine, 16S rRNA; first, second, and third codon positions of
cytochrome b) and 12 nuclear partitions (first, second, and third codon
positions, respectively, of each of the four nuclear genes). Four of
the 21 partitions (third positions of cytochrome b, A2AB, IRBP, and vWF)
showed significant heterogeneity in base composition across taxa.
Phylogenetic analyses (parsimony, minimum evolution, maximum likelihood)
based on sequences for all 21 partitions provide 99-100% bootstrap
support for Afrotheria and Paenungulata. With the elimination of the four
partitions exhibiting heterogeneity in base composition, there is also high
bootstrap support (89-100%) for cow + horse. Statistical tests reject
Altungulata, Anagalida, and Ungulata. Data set heterogeneity between
mitochondrial and nuclear genes is most evident when all partitions are
included in the phylogenetic analyses. Mitochondrial-gene trees associate
cow and horse together, whereas nuclear-gene trees associate cow and
hedgehog and these two with horse. However, after eliminating third positions
of A2AB, IRBP, and vWF, nuclear data agree with mitochondrial data in
supporting cow + horse. Nuclear genes provide stronger support for both
Afrotheria and Paenungulata. Removal of third positions of cytochrome b
results in improved performance for the mitochondrial genes in recovering
these clades.

Abstract.---We explore the tree of mammalian mtDNA sequences, using particularly
the LogDet transform on amino acid sequences, the distance Hadamard transform,
and the Closest Tree selection criterion. The amino acid composition of
different species show significant differences, even within mammals. After
compensating for these differences, nearest-neighbor bootstrap results suggest
that the tree is locally stable, though a few groups show slightly greater
rearrangements when a large proportion of the constant sites are removed. Many
parts of the trees we obtain agree with those on published protein ML trees.
Interesting results include a preference for rodent monophyly. The detection
of a few alternative signals to those on the optimal tree were obtained using
the distance Hadamard transform (with results expressed as a Lento plot). One
rearrangement suggested was the interchange of the position of primates and
rodents on the optimal tree. The basic stability of the tree, combined with two
calibration points (whale/cow and horse/rhinoceros), together with a distant
secondary calibration from the mammal/bird divergence, allows inferences of
the times of divergence of putative clades. Allowing for sampling variances due
to finite sequence length, most major divergences amongst lineages leading
to modern orders, appear to occur well before the Cretaceous/Tertiary (K/T)
boundary. Implications arising from these early divergences are discussed,
particularly the possibility of competition between the small dinosaurs and
the new mammal clades.

Abstract.---Shared insertions or deletions (indels) in protein-coding DNA
can be strong indicators of the monophyly of a taxon. A three-amino acid
deletion had previously been noted in the eye lens protein (A-crystallin of
two species of sloths and two species of anteaters, which represent the
Pilosa, one of the two infraorders of Xenarthra (Edentata). This deletion has
not been observed in 55 species from 16 other eutherian orders, nor in two
species of marsupials and 34 non-mammalian vertebrates, from birds to shark.
At the genomic level, we have now detected this deletion in two species of
armadillos of the second xenarthran infraorder, Cingulata, as well as in an
additional species of anteater. Phylogenetic trees were constructed from a
145-bp sequence of the (A-crystallin gene of 39 tetrapod species, supporting
xenarthran monophyly with values from 86 to 90%. To quantify the additional
support for xenarthran monophyly, as given by the three-residue deletion,
we computed the probabilities for the occurrence of this deletion per
evolutionary time unit for alternative hypothetical tree topologies. In the
obtained estimates, the six trees in which the xenarthran subgroups are
unresolved or paraphyletic give an increasingly lower likelihood than the two
trees which assume xenarthran monophyly. For the monophyletic trees, the
probability that the deletion observed in the xenarthrans is due to a single
event is >0.99. Thus, this deletion in (A-crystallin gives strong molecular
support for the monophyly of this old and diverse order.

Abstract.---Paleontologists long have argued that the most important evolutionary radiation of mammals occurred during the early Cenozoic, if not that all eutherians originated from a single common post-Cretaceous ancestor. Nonetheless, several recent molecular analyses claim to show that because several interordinal splits occurred during the Cretaceous, a major therian radiation was then underway. This claim conflicts with statistical evidence from the well-sampled latest Cretaceous and Cenozoic North American fossil record. Paleofaunal data confirm that the there were fewer mammalian species during the latest Cretaceous than during any interval of the Cenozoic, and that a massive diversification took place during the early Paleocene, immediately after a mass extinction. Measurement data show that Cretaceous mammals were on average small and occupied a narrow range of body sizes; after the Cretaceous-Tertiary mass extinction, there was a rapid and permanent shift in the mean. The fact that there was an early Cenozoic mammalian radiation is entirely compatible with the existence of a few Cretaceous splits among modern mammal lineages.
Abstract.---Using the set of all published vertebrate mtDNA protein sequences
as of May 1998, plus unpublished examples for elephant and birds, we examine
divergence times in Placentalia and Aves. Using a parsimony based test, a subset
of slower evolutionary rate placental sequences that do not appear to violate
the clock assumption are identified. Analysing just these sequences decreases
support for Marsupionta and the carnivore + perissodactyl group, but increases
support for armadillo diverging earlier than rabbit (which may represent the
whole Glires group). A major theme of the paper is to use more comprehensive
divergence time standard error estimates. Using the well studied horse/rhino
split estimated to be 55 million years before present (mybp), the splitting time
within carnivores is confidently shown to be older than 50 million years. Some
of our estimates of divergence times within placentals are relatively old at up
to 169 million years, but within 2 standard errors of other published estimates.
The whale/cow split at 65 mybp may be older than commonly assumed. All the
sampled splits between fereuungulates (the clade of carnivores, cetartiodactyls,
perissodactyls, and pholidotes) seem to be distinctly before the KT boundary.
Combined with analyses suggesting a close relationship between elephants
(representing Afrotheria) and armadillos (Xenarthra), our timing of this splitting
is coincident with the opening of the South Atlantic, a major vicariant event.
Recalibrating with this event (at 100 mybp), we obtain younger estimates for the
earliest splits among placentals. Divergence times within birds are also assessed
using previously unpublished sequences. We fail to reject a clock for all taxa
available. Unfortunately, available deep bird calibration points are questionable,
so, a new calibration based on the age of the Anseriform stem lineage is estimated.
The divergence time of rhea and ostrich may be much more recent than commonly
assumed, while that of passerines may be older. Our major concern is the rooting
point of the bird subtree, as the nearest outgroup (alligator) is very distant.
[molecular divergence times, bird phylogeny, mammal order phylogeny, mitochondrial genomes, sequencing errors]
Abstract.---Several different groups of birds have been proposed as being the
oldest or earliest diverging extant lineage within the avian phylogenetic tree,
particularly ratites (Struthioniformes), waterfowl (Anseriformes), and shorebirds
(Charadriiformes). Difficulty in resolving this issue stems from several factors,
including the relatively rapid radiation of primary (ordinal) bird lineages and the
lack of characters from an extant outgroup for birds which is closely related to
them by measure of time. To help resolve this question we have sequenced entire
mitochondrial (mt) genomes for five birds (a rhea, a duck, a falcon, and two
songbirds), one crocodilian and one turtle. Maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood
analyses of these new sequences together with published sequences (18 taxa total)
yield the same optimal tree topology in which a songbird (Passeriformes) is sister
to all the other bird taxa. A basal position for waterfowl among the bird study
taxa is rejected based on maximum likelihood analyses. However, neither the
conventional view, in which ratites (including rhea) are basal to other birds, nor
tree topologies with falcon or chicken basal among birds could be rejected in the
same manner. In likelihood analyses of a subset of seven birds, alligator, and
turtle (9 taxa total), we find that increasing the number of parameters in the
model shifts the optimal topology from one with a songbird basal among birds to the
conventional view with ratites diverging basally, and that likelihood scores for
the two trees are not significantly different. Thus, although our largest set of
taxa and characters support a tree with songbirds diverging basally among birds,
position of this earliest divergence among birds appears unstable. Our analyses
indicate a sister relationship between a waterfowl/chicken clade and ratites,
relative to songbirds and falcon. We find support for a sister relationship between
turtles and a bird/crocodilian clade, and for rejecting both the Haemothermia
hypothesis (birds and mammals as sister taxa) and the placement of turtles as basal
within the phylogenetic tree for amniote animals.

Abstract.---The discrepancy between theoretical and observed distributions of
tree shapes in recent surveys of phylogeny estimates has lead to investigations of
possible biological and methodological causes. I investigated whether the phylogenetic
quality of characters is related to the tree shape on which they evolve. Simulated
evolution revealed shape-related tendencies for characters to indicate correct
cladistic relationships; these differences were measured by examining the characters
directly, without deriving any phylogeny estimates. Tree stemminess indices correlated
strongly with character quality when characters evolved either speciationally or
phyletically. Tree balance was a significant correlate of character quality under
speciational evolution, but not under phyletic evolution. These results help explain
the findings of other simulation studies. It might be possible, with additional
study of the behavior of evolving characters and their interaction with phylogenetic
methods, to increase the accuracy of tree estimation and compensate for potential
biases related to shape. These results give further reason for caution in trusting
phylogeny estimates.
[Character simulation; phylogenetic accuracy; phylogenetic bias; tree balance; tree shape; tree stemminess; tree topology.]
Abstract.---The concentrated changes test (CCT) calculates the probability
that changes in a binary character are distributed randomly on the branches of
a cladogram. This test is used to examine hypotheses of correlated evolution,
especially cases where changes in the state of one character influences changes
in the state of another character. The test may be sensitive to the addition of
branches lacking either trait of interest (white branches). To examine the
effects of the proportion of white branches and of tree topology on the CCT
probability, we conducted a simulation analysis using a series of randomly-generated
100-taxon trees, in addition to a nearly perfectly balanced (symmetrical) and
a completely imbalanced (asymmetrical) 100-taxon tree. Using two models of
evolution (gains only, or gains and losses), we evolved character pairs randomly
onto these trees to simulate cases where (1) characters evolve independently
(i.e., no correlation among the traits) and (2) all changes in the dependent
character occur on branches containing the independent trait (i.e., a strong
correlation among the traits). This allowed us to evaluate the sensitivity of
the CCT to type I and type II errors, respectively. In our simulations, the
CCT did not appear to be overly sensitive to the inclusion of white branches
(low likelihood of type I error using both CCT probabilities < 0.05 and < 0.01).
However the CCT was susceptible to type II error when the proportion of white
branches is < 20%. The test was also sensitive to tree shape and was positively
correlated to the tree imbalance statistic I (Colless). Finally, the CCT
responded differently for simulations where only gains were allowed relative
to those where both gains and losses were permitted. Our results indicate that
the CCT is unlikely to detect correlation between characters when no such
correlation exists. However, when a trait can be gained but not lost, the CCT
is conservative and may fail to detect true correlations among traits (increased
type II error). Determination of the sampling universe (taxa included in the
comparative analysis) can strongly influenced the probability of making such
type II errors. We suggest guidelines to circumvent these limitations.

On January 10, 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear an appeal by Pom Wonderful LLC against The Coca-Cola Company. The Court will examine whether Pom can bring a federal Lanham Act false advertising claim against a Minute Maid juice product label that had been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). (Pom Wonderful LLC v. The Coca-Cola Co., U.S. Supreme Court case no. 12-761).
At issue in the lawsuit is a Minute Maid label for "Pomegranate Blueberry Flavored Blend of 5 Juices." The label presents the words "Pomegranate Blueberry" in larger type than the remainder of the phrase. Pom claimed that the label was misleading because the product contains 0.3 percent pomegranate juice and 0.2 percent blueberry juice.
A California federal trial court and the 9th Circuit federal appeals court in California both ruled that Pom could not bring a Lanham Act false advertising claim against the label, since it had been specifically examined and approved by the FDA. Pom has argued that the decisions were contrary to established law in other U.S. courts, and that federal regulations establish a floor –but not a ceiling — on what an advertiser is required to do to avoid a claim that the advertising is false and misleading. Coca-Cola has argued that product labeling that is specifically authorized by the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) and approved by the FDA cannot be charged as false or misleading under another federal statute such as the Lanham Act.
Although the question before the Supreme Court is whether a private party can bring a Lanham Act claim challenging a product label regulated under the FDCA, the Supreme Court's decision could potentially have significant implications for the alcohol beverage industry. For example:
The Supreme Court is expected to hear argument this spring and decide the case by June 2014. Depending on the decision, alcohol beverage industry members could find they have additional insulation against a federal false advertising claim, but they may likewise be limited in bringing a federal false advertising lawsuit against a competitor's label that has been approved by TTB.

The Houston Dynamo travel to Utah to take on Western Conference leaders Real Salt Lake at 8:30 p.m. CT this Saturday. Eddie Robinson takes you through what you need to know for this weekend's matchup.
Dynamo broadcaster Glenn Davis is back on the air tonight with a new episode of Dynamo All-Access, presented by Houston Community College. The show will be LIVE from Richmond Arms with Dynamo players Calen Carr, Mike Chabala and Anthony Arena! It will air on Yahoo! Sports Radio 1560 AM from 7-9 p.m.
Come on out to Richmond Arms and meet your favorite players and talk everything Dynamo with Glenn Davis.
The call-in number for the show is 713-439-1560.
Dynamo midfielder Boniek Garcia is certainly rounding into form this season, and his performance last weekend against the Columbus Crew earned him Team of the Week honors from MLSsoccer.com. Here's what they had to say about him:
Had a dominant showing on Houston's right flank in their 3-1 win over the Columbus Crew, helping set up two goals as he showed the form that made him one of signings of the season last year.
The smiling Honduran was surely happy with the team's result on Saturday, and again yesterday with the news of former Olimpia teammate Alexander López joining the Dynamo yesterday.
You can see Boniek's first assist to Will Bruin here, and his cross to Bruin that Cam Weaver finishes off here.
The Austin Aztex, coached by former Dynamo forward Paul Dalglish, won their first Player Development League title on Sunday, overcoming an early deficit for a 3-1 win over the Thunder Bay Chill in the 2013 PDL Championship Game. Sito Seoane scored twice and added an assist to earn MVP honors for the title game. The Aztex finished the season with an impressive 15-1-2 record.
The championship capped a marvelous season for Dalglish, who was named PDL Coach of the Year on Saturday. Dalglish's squad had an extraordinary 38-8 goal difference this season, with just eight goals against in 14 regular season games.
Dalglish, 36, spent two seasons with the Dynamo, winning consecutive MLS Cup titles in 2006 and 2007. Dalglish inserted his name in early franchise lore on November 5, 2006, when he scored two goals in a 3-1 victory over the Colorado Rapids in the Western Conference Championship. Dalglish is one of three players in club history to score two goals in a playoff game, later joined by Brian Ching (2007 Western Conference semifinal vs. FC Dallas) and Will Bruin (2012 Knockout Round vs. Chicago).
Moreover, Austin native Kristopher Tyrpak was named PDL Most Valuable Player of the Year. Tyrpak, a forward at Houston Baptist University, had 9 goals and 19 assists for the Aztex this season.
After a season of strong attendance, a home crowd of 4,253 filled House Park on Sunday night as the largest for the PDL Championship Game since 2007. The Aztex also led the PDL in attendance this season, with an average crowd of 2,048 at House Park.
The Houston Dynamo announced the signing of Honduran international Alexander López today.
Late-night host Jimmy Fallon handed out some high school yearbook-style superlatives for some MLS All-Stars, and yes, there was a joke about Brad Davis' ears.
Tune in to ESPN 97.5 FM tonight for a new episode of Soccer Matters with Glenn Davis! The Dynamo broadcaster will be discussing everything going on in the world of soccer, including Clint Dempsey's transfer to the Seattle Sounders and what that means for Dempsey and MLS.
Tonight's episode airs from 7-9 p.m. and can be heard on the radio on 97.5 FM or online at www.espn975.com.
The call-in number for the show is 713-780-3776.

Equality California Finds Confirmation of Poochigian for State Appellate Court Appalling
Governor's appointee opposes equal protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Californians
In his testimony before the panel today, Equality California Executive Director Geoff Kors said:
Poochigian's voting record on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues in the California Legislature was abysmal. He consistently scored 0% on EQCA's legislative scorecards. While serving in the State Senate, he opposed every major LGBT bill, including: AB 1001 (Villaraigosa), which prohibited discrimination based on sexual orientation; AB 537 (Kuehl), which protected LGBT students from harassment and violence in public schools; and AB 25 (Migden), which established the most basic rights and responsibilities for same-sex domestic partners. Poochigian also declined to meet with Equality California despite requests every year he was in office.

Originally Published: January 20, 2006By Scott Engel | ESPN Fantasy Games
Benji, Dallas: Herman Edwards' hiring in Kansas City stirs things in the mind of the fantasy owner. Who will start in the backfield behind Trent Green? Engel: Herman Edwards has already reportedly told Larry Johnson he will be Kansas City's starting running back for 2006. If Priest Holmes does elect to return, he might have to play much less than he did in the past. Johnson is clearly the future of the Chiefs' offense, and Edwards has shown a clear commitment to the running game in the past. It's in question whether Holmes will even play next year, and Johnson became even more of an outstanding runner in 2005, as he developed more patience on inside runs and read his blockers better. Johnson should be the first player picked in many fantasy leagues next year.

By 8:30 p.m. roughly 50 hard-line Occupiers marched to the Thomas F. Eagleton Courthouse, using megaphones to make their presence known. Would it be effective? Maybe. Maybe not. But it was better than sitting around waiting for the authorities to come to them.

As the sun set and temperatures dropped last night, the crowd thinned to half its earlier size only to rebound with fresh troops as the curfew approached. Then it happened. The clock struck 10 p.m. and ... nothing. Still no word from the lawyers and the judge and no forced removal at the hands of the police.
A half hour passed. Then another. And another. Now just around 75 hard-line Occupiers remained. Gone were the homeless who had set up camp alongside the Occupiers and swelled their ranks in recent weeks. Gone, too, were half of the 50 or so tents that blanketed the downtown mall the night before. Finally, right before midnight, the lawyers returned. The judge denied their injunction.
Thirty minutes later, roughly a dozen police vans rolled in, blocking 7th and Market Streets, and unloading an estimated 65 officers, many carrying plastic handcuffs, though none in riot gear. Lieutenant Dan Zarrick gave Occupy St. Louis fifteen minutes to vacate the plaza as two dozen Occupiers, determined to be arrested, linked arms at the top of the plaza steps.
"Let's go," Zarrick told his officers when the time elapsed, pushing through an angry gauntlet of protestors hurling vulgarities at the cops.

With Kiener Plaza free of protesters, city workers drove a dump truck from the Forestry Division onto the scene and began filling it with piles of sleeping bags, tents and left-over provisions. Just like that, Occupy St. Louis was hauled away -- at least for the time being.

VIDEO: GSP says he'll fight Anderson Silva, Frankie Edgar best P4P fighter
"For me to go up in weight class, I need to consider a lot of things. Because if I go up, I cannot go back down. I cannot play with my weight easy like that… Anderson used to fight at 168-pounds a few years ago in Japan, so I don't know what his weight is. I think he walks around at 230-pounds, he's very big. I don't know if he can cut down. I walk around at 188-190-pounds. Putting on or losing too much weight, for me, is very hard. I'm always about the same size, I've got an ectomorph type physique. I could (put on the weight to fight Silva), it just depends on the amount of time I have to do it. If I do it, I have to do it well, it takes time. But, if the UFC is willing to give me the time to do so, and not make me fight during that period time, and also not making him fight during that period of time, because if he fights and something happens, you know he loses and now he's not invincible, everything goes out the window."

don't be scared homie!! He just needs enough time to get a few extra steroid cycles in so he can beef up.
That is exactly true if any of you don't think for one second that a mna like GSP who has a net worth of 14 million isn't on some type of undetectable fancy designer steroid then i'm wasting my time. GSP at the very least is on HGH which EVERYONE knows they do not test for in MMA. Anyone can beat a steroid test when they know when they will be tested. Why do you think Sean Sherk only fights every 2 years or so. Also anyone who doesn't think 80 plus % of MMA isn't on steroids they are very confused. I bet there is only a hand full of exceptions. Bj Penn, Nick and nate Diaz, Dominic Cruz. trust me the more a fighter makes the better the PED.
When do you think GSP started taking steroids approx.? Was there a certain point where he suddenly started looking suspiciously bigger?
ROFL!!! gsp doing steroids!?!?!!!!?!!!!?!!!?!!?!!?!!?!!?!!?!!!?!!?!! wow that's the dumbest thing iv'e ever heard!!!! but go on keep thinking what you want, because only dumb people believe people cant beat everyone! but gsp has proven he can!! yee go gsp!
GSP is as clean and elite of an athlete as they come…he has a chance to defeat anderson silva just as he could loose…the fight should be at 170 or like 177 to make it on even playing field…anderson already is taller and much bigger and lankier…so even the playing field and have him loose the weight why would GSP go up when he's the small guy, have the big guy cut down then see a fight happen…frankie would loose to gsp easily too…
He enters the octogan every fight at 192 lbs. That's a light heavyweight. The fact that he's hesistant to even fight a middleweight is ridiculous. When are people going to realize that GSP just says things people want to hear, but never follows up.
LHWs have to weigh in at no more than 206 pounds. Most fighters gain 10-20 pounds of waterweight after weigh-ins. That would put a LHW around 216-226 in the octagon not 192.
yeah well silva walks around at 230 so he's a bigger fighter on fight night , learn how it works before u speak dumbass
I'm aware of that. But a 192-lb person is a Light Heavyweight and that what the Champ of the 170 division fights at.
The difference is Silva doesn't gain 45 lbs in the one day between weigh-ins and the fight. Come fight time, he's about 195- 197 lbs. Silva gains some weight in the week of 2 AFTER the fight and then loses it in next training camp. GEORGES intends to 'bounce' his weight to 192 lbs in a day. Anderson: 10-12 lbs over, GSP: 22 lbs over. BIG DIFFERENCE.
If GSP is content to enter the octagon as a Light Heavyweight vs Welterweights, then he should have the balls to fight a middleweight.
PS, I do know what I'm talking about, shithead.
All welterweights walk around in the 190's you stupid cunt; by your idiotic reasoning all welterweights should be fighting at light heavyweight, dumbass. I'd hate to hear your opinion on weight classes in amateur wrestling, educate yourself on the subject matter before you speak out next time, or better yet just shut the fuck up.
I think he is saying what they DON'T want to hear. I'm a fan of GSP at welterweight, but I'm tired of all his intricate angles of reasoning and excuses. He won't be ready to fight Silva until he learns how to finish at welterweight. By then, it will be too late. I think Condit has a good chance of beating him.
ye i hope condit knees him in the face
Silva walks at a hell of a lot more than 192 buddy.
220-230 lbs
How could you POSSIBLY interpret that long winded, BS answer as a "yes". That's the same crap that he's been peddling for a long time now. Fighting a guy who is ONE weight class above you is NOT a life altering decision that requires a year off from both you AND your opponent. That is absolutely absurd. As is calling yourself an "ectomorph". No self respecting fighter would EVER use the word "ectomorph" to pu**y out of a fight. I'm seriously losing all respect for GSP.
GSP's bodyfat is extremely low, so for him to put on muscle it takes a lot of time – unless you use cycles of steroids (which many on here claim he does). Anderson Silva is about the size of the average light heavyweight fighter – so I think it is more likely that we will see Jones v Silva if Jones becomes virtually unbeatable.
I would love to se him take regular drug tests throughout a camp to prove that he doesn't use PEDs. Look at the guy… You don't get that cut without an injection or few… HAHAHA!!! Get off GSPs nuts for a few seconds and take a good honest look at your boy to see what's really going on.
Everyones bodies vary in the way they work.. to say "you dont get that cut without an injection or few" is just hilarious.. Man i know many people in the same calibre of cut as GSP, and wouldn't say im too far off
I have a similar problem with a low body fat % that GSP does. It would take me years to add a significant amount of weight to my frame through normal methods. Also, I'm apparently on steroids too because I look muscular all year. No wait. I just exercise lots. Retard.
yes you are a retard
I'd love to see Jones v Silva but I think Jones is too strong for Anderson and would rag doll him. I see Jones stepping up and fighting at heavyweight in the future. I dont think GSP will ever fight Silva unless Silva looses the weight.
LmFaOoOo Well put bro!
He said he walks around at 188-190. All he has to do is cut way less weight if he really wanted to fight him. He either doesn't want to, or he doesn't think he can win at his current size. The fact is he really shouldn't take the fight because he will lose anyway.
So he walks into the fight at 190 and Silva walks in at 205. Riiight. Would u 'cut very little' or would you try to pack on 20 lbs of muscle, make 185, in go back up to 210. Exactly. And in order to b able to do this properly without burning you out, you need to take the time. Yes, you can do this in a shorter period of time using PEDs, but you would never be able to hide it, so whats the point. Most fighters take some form of PEDs. Even the ones you don't think do. These are the guys that know how to do it right, but without abusing. GSP is being smart, he's not scared. This guy is so competitive, he's always looking to test himself. But that doesn't mean he's not smart in his approach to every fight. I can bet on it that if the UFC gave him the time he requires, he'll sign that dotted line against Silva.
If GSP is "not scared" and he is "so competitive" like you say Shawn then he would accept the fight and not ramble on about needing time and he's an ectomorph blah, blah, blah. The fact is he is scared and cautious just like how he comes across inside the cage at welterweight, the guy never takes a chance at all and just smothers people or jabs from the outside with the occasional pathetic superman punch. Martial Arts are all about taking risks and testing yourself against the bigger guy without hesitation. The one guy who personifies this is BJ plain and simple. We have never heard him spit out a list of requirements in order for him to step up in weight, NEVER!! He's fought all the way up at 205 against Lyoto and would probably accept a fight with Overeem or Lesnar if offered, thats a real fighter. GSP has a way bigger frame than BJ and he already walks around above the 185 limit to fight Anderson. If BJ can step on the scales to fight Fitch or Hughes or GSP in f****n jeans and shoes and still only tip the scales @167 then why cant your hero GSP do it?
Your weight does not matter. It is your skill. So it seems like you do not have confidence in your skill to beat Anderson.
Georgie is truly an amazing politician. The man is the case in point of what PED's can do for you. He is on it now and he will just change it up to add even more size. No man in MMA walks around the way his camp walks around. They have the cash and the ability to get PED's anywhere they want as it is legal in Canada. Georgie is a mutt that is a convicted cheat. He is a great salesman and people will always love him and look past what he really is. He really is a product of a test tube!
GSP is very humble… I'm happy to see him throw Frankie Edgar in as a top p4p fighter given the fact he is a small lightweight. I think Silva v Jones is a much more likely match up than GSP v Silva – simply because we know Anderson can fight at light heavyweight without giving up much of a size advantage.
What a thing for a coward to say… BJ jumped to 170 in a heartbeat and then back down to 155! Grow a pair and learn how to fight again. If GSP couldn't finish Shields in 5 rounds and it took Ellenberger less than one round to knock Shields out, what does that tell you about our WW champ? Ask yourself that…
I love BJ but the real fact is BJ is too slow for LW . BJ would gas out after 2 rounds at a pace Frankie Edwards fights at and sadly would lose that fight again if fighting for LW championship. BJ has a better chance to win another WW title if he stays in the buffet line and keeps winging "Serra shots" like he did to Hughs.
First of all you mean Frankie Edgar…not Edwards numb nuts! But I kinda hate to admit it ….BJ has a small gas tank for LW. Yeah, agreed… BJ is more entertaining and has better prospects at WW rather than LW. If BJ were to go back down to LW his body just wouldn't handle it. BJ beat Diaz and then pay back GSP!
BJ is NOT too slow @LW, not even remotely. If your gonna compare him to Frankie's speed than what does that say about the rest @LW? I would say Frankie is the only guy with more speed than BJ and also his body would be fine if he were to go back down in the future. The reason for this is that he doesn't gain any weight to fight @WW, he just fights at his normal walk around weight of 166-168lbs give or take. He does not have to cut weight @WW hence him stepping on the scales last time with jeans on and still coming in 3lbs under the limit. So if he were to go back down his body wouldn't be taxed from the bulking /cutting like most other fighters would do if they ever have the balls to do such a thing, I'm looking at you Georgie!!
completely true. GSP dosent have the heart of a champion…the balls to the wall attitude that BJ has and Condit has it and even nick diaz i would say has it, but GSP i duno its just like he dosent convince you anymore
yeah……uh but you had no problem letting bj come up to fight you.—youre pathetic gsp
No disrespect to BJ but thats probably why he lost both times to GSP. GSP was noticeably a lot bigger than BJ and he obviously doesn't wanna make the same mistake against Silva. Having balls is one thing and dont get me wrong. We all respect a fighter that has the balls to fight anyone anywhere. GSP is trying to be smart about it by being in the ideal shape for the possible Silva fight. Like he said. Silvas a big man who cuts at LEAST 20lbs to get to 185. If you were GSP, you'd obviously wanna even out the playing field as much as possible especially against Silva.
Uh, this is the same song he's bee singing ever since he's been approached about the fight, so how is it all the sudden being interpreted as a yes? Same song and dance, same lack of enthusiasm. Only way he's gonna fight is if Dana makes him do it
Silva vs GSP will happen before Silva vs Jones. Guaranteed.
Stop saying he's afraid of whatever, why would he risk his career on fighting a guy who is 40 pounds heavier? Do we blame Jose Aldo for not going up to 170 and fight gsp? No. So why do you keep blaming Gsp?
You guys are probably meso/endomorph if you think adding 20 pounds of muscle is fast LOL. I used to know some guys (mesomorph) who would train 3 months without even taking any shit like proteins or steroids and they could gain 30 pounds of muscles while some others (ectomorph) would gain 10 pounds for the same training program & diet.
Here we go. 40 lbs my ass. How much do you really think these guys cut?? Silva tops out at 220, but it a normal 215. GSP tops out at 200, but is a normal 195. That's 20 lbs., NOT 40. Just because Georges throws the number 40 out, doesn't make it true. Factor in GSP having at least 6 months to add 10 lbs of muscle.,(a luxury that Silva will NOT have, as he can't put on muscle and still make 185) that makes it a 10 lb difference. PLUS, since GSP won't have a huge weight cut like Silva does, he'll have a cardio advantage to go along with his speed advantage and superior wrestling. So tell me again, HOW is this a problem for GSP?
Ya know, the more we argue about this, the more I realize that we gotta give more respect to BJ Penn for fighting in whatever the f**k weight class he feels like. That guy is WAY smaller than GSP, but he was in there with Machida, who's even bigger than Silva. AND he's about to go fight in a weight class above him in just a few weeks. I'm just holding Georges to those same standards. After all, they're both fighters, aren't they?
Good point. I guess GSP thinks it will be a factor not in his favour if he were to fight Silva at the weight and size he is now. And if he is able to do something about that factor so that it wouldn't be a weakness against Silva, then he's obviously gonna do something about it. At the end of the day, he knows his body better than anyone else and if he says its gonna take 'x' amount of time for him to be at his ideal weight, then I guess we've got no choice but to take his word on it?
thats because silva vs jones will NEVER happen. silva is petrified of jones and knows that fighting jones would destroy his precious legacy. anderson is a light-heavyweight who hides at middleweight. notice how willing he is to keep moving down and fight smaller guys. but ask him about jones? nope, he said he cant fight jones because they're "friends". lol what a chump. trust me, nobody will be interested in gsp/silva after sonnen gets his rematch.
hhahaaa the failanator sonnen isnt gunna do anything but be part of another highlight for the spider
On point.. funny as fukk the legacy chasing belt grasping clowns! Do the right thing and challenge yourself and go where no man has gone before.. That is what makes LEGENDS! Getting belts in 2 weight classes is more important then beat everyone in 1 division.. Period!
Anderson is included on this..
Anderson has at least stepped up twice to fight at a heavier weight. One of those fights being with a former 205 lb champion, so I'd say he's tested his self outside of his weight class. Okay, so he hasn't made a permanent move up to light heavy, but at least he had the balls to jump up and compete in a higher weight class to test himself
I'll give u that one..
My 2 cents as to why we will never see this fight.
It comes down to marketing. Simply, BOTH fighters have around the same drawing power (as in asses in seats for the show). However, we must all agree that Anderson is in the last leg of his career. Georges has the edge in longevity. Therefore Georges has much more to lose than the spider. I also believe that George has the easier fights. Above all else he is a company man, NEVER been in trouble with Dana because he is a "YES" man. Anderson has somewhat become the same as we all saw what happend to him when he had a mind of his own. Dana "Anderson doesn't even deserve a fight against GSP." Why? because he said there was no competition and proved it? I belive the fight with GSP would be over VERY quick as I believe Anderson would swarm him and GSP has never had to deal with the kind of pressure tha he may bring. Or it will be a yawn fest as GSP takes him to the floor and then scrambles for dear life not to get caught in a submission. Ref stands them up, rinse and repeat. Dana will possibly make the fight when BOTH fighters are on his shit list but, since GSP does as he's told and has no mind of his own…NEVER GONNA HAPPEN!!!
Well said superman gsp just scared of gettin knocked out he's pussy silva allday.all u kats dick ridin georgie stay at 170 anderson will come to u matter of fact dana should make him fight anderson talk is over quit duckin the p4p champ
They dont need to fight each other gsp needs to move up and so does Anderson silva
I don't have anything against GSP, he is not on my list of favorite fighters, but I think he is a great fighter. But, if he did go up and fight Anderson, I think he would get KTFO…quick too. Anderson is too big, has fought and beat better, stronger, bigger and more accomplished wrestlers, and his stand up is off the charts scary for anyone, regardless of size or skill. GSP, is trying to play the wait game, and hope the either A.) Anderson gets beat by someone else, B.) He loses some skill because of age or injuries etc. C.) He takes the fight late in his career and no longer has the same drive or ambition to even go all out in training etc. etc.
GSP does not win this fight if he takes it within the next 3 years though, imo.
GSP is going to lose against condit! They're gonna force him to move up in weight.. Maybe fight Chael! And then fight Silva! GSP will give Silva Hell of a fight but still lose cuz Anderson is too sick! #breakingitdown
At least Aldo has talked about moving down to 135 and moving up to 155 while still competing at 145 and trying to rule 3 divisions at once. You know how much more of a toll doing that would be on your body than trying to move up one weight class? So he truly wants to challenge himself. That's a true competitor. BJ Penn went up to 205 to fight fucking Machida!!!! And GSP is worried about moving up one weight class? GTFOH!
walks around at 190 cant cut weight of 5 lbs bitch straight up
Translation— Hell no I am not moving up to fight him! Have you seen him fight?
BJ does it. Why can't GSP do it? BJ comes in under weight.
In a related story, GSP has said he will fight Fedor if he recieves 6 months paid time off at 1 billion dollars a day, payable in krugerrands. In addition, his demands include exactly 37 virgins, mostly female, above 26 years of age but below 28 years of age, and a flying monkey.
and a complete set of autographed UFC trading card… if he loses that is.
EXCUSES EXCUSES. GaySP is a great fighter… but he will NEVER be the peoples CHAMP! im so not impRRez wit his perPormaanz! LOL
C'mon dog. I don't even see St Pierre beating Chael Sonnen…
So how the hell do you expect him to beat Silva.
Frankie Edgar a top P4P what a joke… To think I used to like GSP.
People give BJ sh!t for getting out muscled by GSP. GSP ain't fighting anyone at 185lbs. AS fights journeyman 205ers. People said Edgar is a natural 145er, but has never fought a contender at 145lbs.
BJ has beaten almost all top LW. Has the balls to fight the top three all time ww. Fought a 220lb machida.
GSP needs to step up.
I notice there are alot of uneducated clowns posting here. Why haze GSP for not wanting to go up in weight and fight Silva? Why doesn't Silva go up in weight and fight Jon Jones? Silva fought at LHW before and no all of a sudden he don't want to do it anymore. Silva would out weigh GSP by 30#'s. How is that fair? GSP has fought the best competion of all and is the true P4P king. Silva is a beast but he's been dominating the weakest class in MMA. He needs to go to LHW and fight real competion so be the best. GSP has fought the better opponents.
i wouldnt be worried about A.S. because he finishes fights. if i were you id be more concerned about grease NOT steppin up.
AS fights bums. jonny bones would whoop his asss
If Jones beats Rampage, then either Rashad or Phil Davis, I think Silva vs. Jones would be a truer, better P4P fight. It's true. GSP doesn't seem all that enthused or pushing to make it happen. He's gotta step – up or just admit he's not willing to do it. No more well-constructed excuses. Actually, I think the interest in seeing that fight is almost passed. If he manages to dominate and FINISH Condit in impressive fashion, then interest in GSP vs. Silva can be re-ignited. Otherwise, the sun will have set for GSP on that opportunity. With Silva finishing most of his fights, he is on a whole other P4P level!
It doesn't matter what GSP weighs and what AS weighs. All that matters is that they both weigh 185 lbs at the weigh-ins. Quit being a b*tch and just scrap!
Ok, aside from all the shit talking on gsp and A.S. … i think its a good fight for both of them. if any1 under LHW could bring silva out of the 2nd round, it has to b gsp. and gsp could use a loss. all his fights latly have been to decision. i think if gsp won it would piss off alot of ppl tho, and a rematch wouldnt b far off. gsp is a great fighter, his endurance is pretty good, and silva is the best fighter iv seen while watching ufc. personal opinion, plz dont hound me for it, but i still think if he moved up he could take jones. silva has a stratagy that takes 2 rounds to end any fight, and its worked for him. but back to gsp, i think pierre would have to take it to the ground if he had anyhope of beating him. if he stands, hes gona get k.o.d for sure. no question. but hey, just me
Hell yeah, I respect GSP so much for trying to do this….Though I have to say Silva gots this fight but…I cant wait to see all these questions answered
GSP i believe is a mesomorph body type not an ectomorph
na bro. hes a ectomorph thats how hes so ripped and not big and bulky.
He's not an ecto nor meso.. He's a fkn greasomorph!
@chart… dude i v seen u on this site multiple times and all iv seen u do is talk shit abt the fighters. at least show some respect for wat they do, idt there is any way u could compete with them. i no gsp doesnt have the strongest hold on his belt, but he still has it, and hes had it for a while, so obviously wat hes doing is working. whether its cheap or not hes still there. id love to see how u hold up in the octogon. show a little respect for these guys man.
U didn't think greasomorph was funny.. Wtf is wrong w you man. I respect all fighter and their skills…I do like to exploit their weaknesses. LOL
Ectomorph! What is GSP selling now to fight fans? He acts as if a LHW is challenging him, its only one weight class up as I understand it. I'm not up on cutting weight and regaining weight but is GSP saying that he couldn't fight to his potential because he would only have to cut 3-5 pounds instead of his normal cut of 15 pounds or so? Doesn't he regain that come fight night after the weigh in? And if he is not accustomed to fighting at MW, does he not train in between fights at MW or does he cut weight to train at WW? Not sure……PENN NATION!!!!!!!!!
If he is really thinking he might move up to middleweight and stay there, he should take a warm-up fight against Belcher or Okami. If he can't beat them, he won't beat Silva. He probably can't beat Sonnen, Stann or Belfort. All of them will stuff his takedowns. He still has enough to prove in WW.
Anderson is p4p king, and everyone on the list knows it.. He went up and fought 2 times at 205, fighting the former champion one fight removed from losing his belt.. Let's see GSP try that and do it effortlessly the way Silva did..
If Stann can get past Sonnen, he will take out Silva.
yea then Krzysztof Soszynski can take out silva cuz he took out stann lol
So, any of the 4 guys who beat Silva in the past will beat him now? Is that what you are saying? I guess you think Soszynski is having as good an MMA career as Stann then. lol Very oversimplified. Anyways, that aside. I think he has what it takes. He's progressing at a good rate.
Hey junkie, suck my balls!
Uh…. Hmmmm…. Errrr…. Yeah, I'm trying to understand your logic, but no matter how I look at it, it doesn't make sense. Come again…?
The point I am making is that fighters can get better over time. That is the logic Junkie has left out. The fight with Soszynski was 2 and a half years ago. Stann is much improved since then.
Most people would say that Sonnen would have a good shot in a rematch against Silva. Therefore, it would be hard to deny that if Stann can find a way to beat Sonnen, that he might also have a good chance. Unless, of course, you are already thinking Stann has no chance of beating Sonnen.
LOL thanks for the laugh..
So, I am curious: who do you think will win between Sonnen and Stann? Do you think Sonnen would have any chance against Silva in a re-match?
Notice wont mention bj on p4p. he has fought in multiple weight classes.
sounds like hes trying to find a way not to fight anyone and then when its time to fight silva he'll probably change his mind. living off his sponsorship money i guess.
GSP is full of Shit. why can every one see right past his I'm a nice guy act?
I think i would rather watch Jon Fitch sleep than ever see another GSP fight. I would have to flip a coin to make up my mind who is more boring Fitch or GSP. I like watching REALGHTERS like Penn, Diaz, Rampage, Shogun, Dan Hendersen, Falcao, Condit, Ellenberger, Story, you guys can have your point fighters and lay n prayers
I would love to see this fight for all the reasons that GSP wont ever take it. He can't jab Spider for 5 rounds, he can't hold him and hug him on the ground for 5 rounds, he can't win! I would love to see GSP be able to finish more fights and then I might be a fan. But he is a boring fighter, he is good obviously but his fights are boring. I hope he does take the fight because he would have to be impressive and exciting in order to beat Anderson and Anderson might take the fight seriously and might be the greatest Anderson Silva we have ever seen. That is exciting!
Sounds like he is telling it like it is. Which is, he doesn't know what will happen in the near or distant future. He does make an interesting interview more so than Bones Jones.
its not just a loss but an embarrassing loss that gsp is more afraid of
GSP would get smashed in 40 seconds. I don't care what weight he shows up at. Anderson would touch him once, maybe twice in the chin and GSP would have no more career. He knows this, he is too afraid and he hopes Anderson retires before he ever even sticks his little toe in the 185 division. GSP is a pussy who is afraid to test himself.
I just don't know what he is afraid of. He could finish guys in spectacular highlight reel finishes if he wanted to. He is too damn scared. Ellenburger put Shields away like it was childs play, wtf GSP, you too scared to let some hands go? GTFO.
Anderson Silva is even more of an ectomorph than GSP. In fact Anderson's weight isn't even a real factor in this fight for him, seeing as he has no plan to take this to the ground and push his weight on GSP. His weight will not be his advantage it's his superior striking, speed, accuracy and length. It seems GSP is just wanting to keep this fight in Anderson's face putting pressure on his ground game which I doubt the fight would ever get to. Yes GSP could take down Anderson ,but really, what would he do with him? His JJ probably isn't as good and I doubt he has the GnP to finish him and he doesn't exactly have a puncher's chance. I've tried to play this fight out in my head 100 times and the only way I could see GSP winning is a long winded decision.
He is so full of shit. He can't even finish hardy or shields and those guys just got ko'd in less than 4 minutes combined. Plus he says he walks around at 188? Bullshit. Firas says he's at 197. Anderson at 230? Sorry, wrong again. Silva walks around at 204-ish, when he's fighting at 185. so there's maybe 7 lbs separating them currently. I can add 7 lbs in a week. How the fuck long does this clown need?
He needs to just get over himself. What a joke.
I think most of you guys are not giving GSP enough respect so what if does not finish his fights, his top ranked competition cant even come close to beating him so what does that make them? GSP is an amazing champion who makes great fighters look terrible. I just wish you all would respect the accomplishments of GSP and wake up and see that the problem is not him but its that his competition is the problem because threre is no competition.
I would also agree in the fact that if these fights actually took place outside of the ring his main purpose would be to defend himself and not get hurt, much like the idea of Karate. In this view he is a master of his craft.
Thank you!… finaly som1 that a lil respect for the fighters. bottom line, he may not finish his fights, but hes still winning them. thats all the ufc asks. hes still ranked 2nd on the p4p list.
I agree I have respect for ALL fighters as fighters, not necessarily people. Here's a question though, Is he fighting for respect or cash? As fighter myself, you don't get respect for "just doing enough to win". If you want the big fight as GSP claims and I believe if HE asked Dana, would get it. FINISH people, despite what he says he has to hold if not fear then at least concern as to what may happen to him. Do you really believe he is not impressed with the way Anderson destroys people?
I don't think anyone will disagree that GSP is a highly skilled champion, but I think people find him boring because for someone who "makes great fighters look terrible", he sure doesn't have the killer instinct to even TRY and finish them. You say he has no competition, then he should be finishing every fight, don't you agree?
I do agree, i rly wish gsp would finish more of his fights. i think he has the strength for a knock out, and the ground skills for a submision. not agaisnt any of the pros of either style (shields, koscheck, ect) but he could work a little harder on his smaller fights to try and get a finish. my hopes of gsp having a chance on silva will b greatly increased if he can manage a finish on his up coming fight. i still dont think its likly tho. im looking forward to seeing this fight for sure. if it ever happens that is
weight cutting should be banned. Fighters need to start competing in their own weight. It's getting ridiculous…the size difference between two fighters is enormous if one of them is a big weight cutter. Why have weightclasses if a fighter can be 20 lbs overweight on fight day? It's stupid!
I think weight cutting is ok, but I think weigh-ins should an hour before the fights begin, thus eliminating the extreme weight gain. If a 195 lb guy can cut to 170, it's all good, but he should be fighting at 170 at fight time in my opinion.
Yeah that would be alright I guess, but I think it's hard to do that unless there is a high penalty for the fighter overweight on fightday. The fighters need a motivation to make weight, or else they just laugh and give up what-20% of their fightwage?
So there should be a reduction according to how much the fighter is overweight. The more he is overweight, the less pay he gets.
The 20 lbs is a low estimate for some fighters by the way…Some are more like 30-40 lbs overweight.
Same shit different day.I heard all this from Gsp before.He's scared plain and simple.Frankie Edgar best p4p?Really how many times has he defended his belt?smh
I always laugh when Frankie gets mentioned in P4P. You're right, he's successfully defended the belt once, and he's never beaten Mayo. I think anyone who has been considered in the P4P talks have at least beaten the #1 & 2 contenders in their weight class.
Gsp is only suckin edgar's nuts bc he'd rather move down to fight that midget then move up to Andy..
Okay, I've agreed with you about 3 or 4 times in the past month. WTF is really going on?!
Just bc we don't agree about anderdouche doesn't mean we can't agree on others bandit. Maybe your starting to gain some sense being in my presence! Ha ha . )
That's exactly why he said that.
WTF are u talking about moron?
When fighting a guy like Anderson u need a game plan, no one single move will beat this guy. U can't find training partners that can imitate this guy so its difficult. Gsp just wants to fight him at peak condition and I don't see nothing wrong in that. They both should be entitled to that. They are both great fighters! I think that match up would be great for promotion and all around entertainment
GSP would get ko'd. that is all
i remember not so long ago gsp beating the great bj so bad that he had to throw in the towel
STFU w that bullshitt u dumbassholebitch!
i remember a bout that should have been ruled a no contest due to excessive greasing.
When Akiyama got busted for wearing body lotion the night before and beat sakuraba. They took the belt from Akiyama and he had to publicly apologize for cheating.. yeh gsp got off easy.
The comments always start pretty civilized but at the end it always breaks down into "Ya, well you're a faggoty retard" lol. Gotta love it.
Dude…. chart the enforcer, seriously get the hell off the site if all ur gona do is talk shit to ppl and abt fighters. from wat iv seen u saying on this blog and others uv posted on, ur have the hots for bj. u overly defend him, and talk shit abt any1 whose beaten him. its ufc. ppl r going to win and loose, ppl r going to have opinions. if u start talking shit abt ppl cuz they like som1 else, then u just look like a dipshit. wich in my opinion u r. so yah, nice job being a good sport, asshole
Nick.. U can pack your sorryass and GTFOff my site too u fuckinretard!
Wow…. u cant even talk shit. i have some advice for u, dont swere, cuz ur not good at that either. r u on ur period or somthin?
Shut up stupid..
Haha, geez dude. ok, ill leave u alone so u dont look like more of a dumbass than u already do.
thank u nick. spare us from having to read anymore of his intelligent commentary
Ur all haters not a fan of gsp but he's right
Hey now. ima fan of gsp. but like alot of ppl said, i wish he would finish more fights. every1 nos he could, but hes been playing it safe since he got his title back from, i think it was matt serra? that waas his last tko and it was a couple yrs ago. im still a fan, but gsp could b way more popular than he is.
Anderson is about 200, 215 max think about this Lebron is 6'8 250 so to say Anderson is 6 inches shorter and 20 lbs lighter is crazy. His physique is more like Jordan's 195 but 4 inches shorter I'm 6'2 199 about Silvas size. If that's the case Tito would be walking around at 285 and cut down to 205. Plus wtf was GSP saying he won the title @ 22 or 23 he was 25. Jon Jones youngest champ in UFC at 23
gsp is scared bitch..like is sweet science to fight a 185…how about you just cut less weight loser..just like anderson did to fight at 205…gsp is coward to lose
gsp is a moron if he thinks Silva cuts 45 pounds for every fight

wow. who. cares.
iOS 7 wants: Album art centered on Lock screen
Album art has never been perfectly centered on the iPhone or iPod touch Lock screens. It's been placed immediately on top of the slide-to-unlock bar. Because of the 3:2 aspect ratio of previous iPhone and iPod touch devices, however, and because the top of the album art and the reflection beneath it peak through the translucent time and slide-to-unlock bars, the visual weighting was close enough to appear centered and thus, balanced. Not so with the iPhone 5 and its 16:9 aspect ratio. Now the bottom alignment of album art lookes decidedly bottom heavy. Worse, there's a big black gap between the top of the album art and the bottom of the time bar.
The advantage of bottom aligning album artwork on the 16:9 display is that none of it is obscured by the name of the song, and even when you double-click the Home button to bring up the music controls, very little is obscured.
I'm sure Apple went through every permutation of this and came up with the best compromise they could, but as a mental exercise it's interesting to explore what the other options might be. Placing the album art dead center wouldn't work, for example. There'd still be an empty black space between the top of the art and the bottom of the time bar.
Butting the album art up immediately beneath the time bar, however, and filling the resulting empty space on the bottom with the traditional translucent reflection. The weighting would then be close enough to once again appear visually centered. When the Home button double-click brings up the controls, more of the top of the album art would be obscured again, but with a small tweak it wouldn't be terrible, and still better than it currently is on 3:2 devices.
Here are samples of how album art currently looks on the iPhone 4S and the iPhone 5 (left and center), along with a mockup of how it would look if fixed as described above (right).
For context, here's the hero pic for this article beside what it would look like with the proposed fix in place.
I hope Apple considers implementing this in iOS 6.something (and yes, I'll file a radar.)
Because, damn.
Update 1: As a number of people have pointed out, the current 16:9 bottom alignment on the Lock screen allows for a seamless transition if you slide-to-unlock straight into the Music app. For me, however, that just means the Music app needs fixing too. Because the the disadvantage is, "Oh god, my eyes, my eyes..."
So here's a quick mock of for that. It's by no means ideal, as it would create immense usability problems -- namely, accidental taps. That to me just show many simultaneous on-screen controls are jammed into the Music app screen. Maybe allow for some of the less commonly used to start off hidden, and be revealed with a tap, and have list view as a double tap?
Update 2: Apple's own Podcasts app centers album art perfectly.

iOS 7 wants: Album art centered on Lock screen
Meh, who cares?
If Apple repositions the album art, I'll have to file a radar myself... based on my own opinions.
The alignment of the artwork on the lock screen is weighted fine. The album's reflection is distracting and unbalancing when not obscured by UI elements. The unlock transition aesthetics are perfect. The UI within the app is well designed as is.
Two rows of distinct buttons in a row looks horrible in the mockup. Furthermore, by moving the buttons you created a situation where attempting to switch to shuffle mode and missing would result in skipping tracks and losing the current song position - a horrible UX. Attempting to pause could result in a Genius playlist which then takes the user out of any current playlist - another horrible UX. As it stands, accidentally missing a tap doesn't result in any unwanted behavior since the album artwork requires two taps to flip to track list, the airplay menu has a cancel, and both the volume and song position sliders are unaffected by a tap.
Basically, the recommended changes make every aspect of iPhone's music controls worse.
Why I mentioned hiding them and only showing on a single tap, which is consistent with other UI behavior and presents a less cluttered experience otherwise.
Omg i thought i was the only bothered by this . Im ocd so this is really annoyin to me
Thats exactly what i was thinking. That lock screen is horrendous and Steve Jobs would have never approved this. Apple's ethics is all about details and that was obviously overlooked which is not a normal apple behavior
First world problems.
I grew up in a third world country. This thing about trying to make an issue seem less relevant just because people elsewhere are facing bigger problems elsewhere is so annoying. Problems are problems some are more severe than others. It doesn't mean any are less relevant than the other.
Oh so according to your logic, album art not being centered on your $700 phone is equal in relevance to, say, female foeticide in my country.
I get what you are trying to say, but my point is that there are other pressing issues with iOS 6 that iMore could post about. For eg. I have yet to see a post by Rene about Maps and his take on it and does it mean Apple's quality standards are dipping post-Jobs.
I love the iPhone. I'm going to get one as soon as it is launched in my country. I really want to be aware of the more REAL issues that will directly affect me when I get my iPhone.
Dude. He said "some problems are worse than others." All he's saying is that the big problems don't make the small problems irrelevant for the person who brings them up. I don't think anyone would argue that the female feoticide going on in the world isn't a problem, and there are groups working to enact change, but this site is for discussing cell phones and this is a problem the author feels is relevant in this context.
yes, I agree. Therefore, I am suffering
All the folks dissing this blog post, obviously aren't aesthetically-minded and have probably never listened to the awesome Iterate podcast.
This album art placement issue has bugged me as well.
Placing the loop, Genius & shuffle control bar below the album art as shown, would be the ideal fix.
It would be great if Apple really consider your proposal

Comedian Dane Cook took a break from being unfunny on HBO's Tourgasm to be unfunny and, well, downright creepy during last night's Teen Choice Awards. There's something about a 34-year-old comic making explicit sex jokes in a room full of Hilary Duff fans that would even make John Mark Karr squirm. I'm just sayin.'
So check out the clip now to see Dane act like your creepy uncle that your parents won't leave you alone with. Awkward Micha Barton anorexia joke sold separately.

Megan Fox Lost Her Baby Weight Thanks to Lots of Exercise and THIS Surprising Beverage!
Forget about Jennifer's Body! We're more impressed by Megan's body — especially post-baby!
So how did she the Transformers star lose the weight so quickly? Her trainer, Harley Pasternak, reveals his secrets to People, including that she continued working with him throughout the pregnancy.
Then, after giving birth to her baby Noah in September, Megan started working out again a few weeks later. "We didn't start at full speed — we eased into it," Harley explains.
Harley reveals the workout that he does to give Megan such a bangin' bod. "[There] are five phases: a minimum five minute cardio warm-up, a lower body sculpting exercise, an upper body toning exercise, then an abdominal sculpting exercise, and finally, a five minute cool down," he says. "We tried to have her do minimal impact. Post-baby there shouldn't be a lot of jumping up and down."
As for Megan's diet, Harley says she and her husband Brian Austin Green "eat really well." They also are fans of Harley's smoothie recipes.
"Megan's favorite is the red smoothie, which is whatever berries are in season, Chai tea, a scoop of protein powder and little bit of almond milk," Harley reveals.
So drinking this smoothie will give us a body like Megan's? We're so there!
