UFC 125 goes down tonight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, and CagePotato will be posting live results beginning with the ION prelims at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT. I’m sure most of you are still nursing crippling hangovers, so let’s ease into the New Year gently: Above, some of tonight’s fighters share their resolutions for 2011, and Dong Hyun Kim re-invents himself as a trash-talker. (Ed. note: KEEP THE 209 OUT OF YOUR MOUTH, SON.) After the jump, the very same dudes warm up and discuss their matchups at Thursday’s open workout.

UFC 125 is set for New Year’s Day, January 1st, 2011 at The MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States.
The fact that Frank Edgar outboxed and beat BJ Penn twice says a lot. I’ve always respected Edgar’s game way before he was a champion and that his wrestling translated extremely well to MMA very early in his career. Gray Maynard is not as good on the feet, but still very good. There are very few MMA fighters that have Edgar’s equal foot work.
One advantage Gray will certainly have is power. Maynard is big for the division, while Edgar doesn’t even cut weight. Its been said that Maynard’s wrestling is the best in his division. Edgar imo is on par in this department.
Gray Maynard has already beaten Frankie Edgar once before and its the only loss on his record. I think Gray Maynard is going to win…again.
Chris Leben too much experience, too many ways to win. Stann can win if he overwhelms Leben early, but then again, Leben has that durability and zombie chin that will be difficult to finish.
I think Leben wins inside 3 rounds.
Interesting fight here. Could be excellent. I like Vera here due to being more well rounded overall. Not only that, but Silva usually wins in the first two rounds. Vera is very good at nullifying damage.
I like Vera for the win.
As much as I am a fan of the Diaz brothers I like watching the Stun Gun fight. I think the durability of Kim and his submission defense will be enough to take a decision from Nate. Kim is very durable fighter who is a good striker although he hasn’t been able to showcase against the excellent talent in the UFC.
I’m going with The Stun Gun, Dong Hyun Kim.
Guida is favored here, at -165 on Bookmaker.com, but I think this fight can be Gomi’s. His wrestling his almost as good as Guida’s. The Fireball Kid will have a reach advantage and hits hard. Guida has been stunned before and his hair is not going to help, but get in the way of his vision against Gomi’s hooks.
I think Gomi has all the advantages to beat Guida in this one.
Awesome fight – could be fight of the night. Both fighters throw caution to the wind in order to put on a show and both fighters strengths are excellent stand up punchers. Davis does have a nasty low leg kick as well too.
Stephens will win.
Poirer is coming off a KO of Zach Micklewright and Grispi is still winning. I think Grispi is better overall.
I’m going with Grispi.
Two stand up fighters. Should be exciting. Gotta go with the younger fighter here in Brad Tavares.
Mike Brown.
Going with the Ninja, Daniel Roberts.
A fight of two good wrestlers whose primary game is wrestling. Antonio who has been accused of being boring his entire career for basically dominating a fight, but getting a decision in the end. Never finishing a fight. However, in his last fight in the MFC he dominated with the takedown got top control then mount and KO’d the guy. He said if he didn’t finish the fight he would retire. McKee is up there in age. UFC fans are not going to know McKee, but this guy has fought in smaller shows for years now. I’m glad he’s finally getting a shot to fight in the UFC. McKee will be too much for Volkmann.

Getting trapped in a submission is a panic-inducing experience for any fighter. But what happens when you’re put in a position that you’ve never even seen before? In honor of next week’s DVD/Blu-ray release of Locked Down (which co-stars Rashad Evans, Kimbo Slice, and Cheick Kongo), we’re taking a look back at MMA matches where fighters were "locked down" for real — caught in off-the-wall subs that offered no chance of escape. Enjoy the list, and come back next Thursday for a chance to win a Locked Down combo pack in our next caption contest…
#10: Alexander Otsuka’s double-armbar vs. Mike Bourke
PRIDE 11, 10/31/00
Dusting himself off after a pathetically botched dropkick attempt early in the fight (see the video’s 0:38 mark), Otsuka begins working his jiu-jitsu against the tank-topped American brawler. When Bourke starts to hang out with one arm posted and the other throwing down telegraphed punches, the "Diet Butcher" seizes the moment, snapping his legs over Bourke’s head and torquing both of his arms simultaneously. Bourke is so screwed he has to tap with his knee.
#9: Ivan Salaverry’s anaconda body lock vs. Tony Fryklund
UFC 50, 10/22/04
We usually think of the body-triangle as a technique used to soften up an opponent before or during a rear-naked choke. It takes real talent to actually finish somebody with it. After taking Tony Fryklund’s back, Salaverry passes up the neck and instead wrenches his arms around Fryklund’s body, driving his hips forward to exert maximum pressure on the spine and ribs. Fryklund has two options at this point: Allow himself to be cracked like a walnut, or scream for mercy. Fortunately, he makes the right choice.
