Edgar is amazing! i've got Edgar in the rematch.
tough break for Leben. Thiago Silva looked absolutely brutal and slides into the position of #2 favorite @ 205. 2nd or 3rd. wanna see more of him. Silva/Rampage; Silva/Bader; Silva/Jones - all would be huge IMO. as for Vera, personally i would give him one last shot, after all, it was an entertaining fight, though Vera didnt show too much intensity in the 2nd or 3rd rounds. Griffin, Bader, Phil Davis?, somebody like that would make a solid last chance fight for Vera. although vs. Griffin or Bader sounds potentially really boring. nice finish for Guida, though it seems like a win for Gomi would have done more (career/rankings-wise) than this win for Guida. i guess Guida/Stevenson? has Guida fought Florian? Kim/Diaz: the better man lost. i have no problem with the Judges decision, but Kim for damn sure was the only one who looked beat up and gassed at the end. Diaz should have done more, earlier. win or lose, it was a somewhat lackluster performance by Nate - meaning that Kim shut him down with his wrestling, so props to Kim. strong wrestlers are probably Diaz's Achiles heel. Kim wants GSP? what a slaughter that would be. very exciting card. best in recent memory. next one looks really good too. the one after that, meh. though i do like to see (the much improved) Chris Lytle in action. |

This was a VERY FUN card! Guida's cardio was intense, his movement was like Kieth Jardine on Cocaine. and the Jits that finished the fight was good.
Stun Gun/Diaz- the better man won. Kiss my ass if you think Diaz should have won. That's just you going for a name. That yellow bastard took diaz down AT WILL, and kept that ass there. Leben....wow. Title Fight: the only loser is Showtime. Maynard looks like a badass for taking Fankie to a dark place he's never been. Frankie looks like a true champ for coming back from what very well could've been a 10-7 round and got in the fucking fight! Please find it in your miser hearts to give the kid that credit he so richly earns. It just sucks to know that Showtime Anthony Pettis is around 6-8 months out of fighting the winner of the immediate rematch, and that's considering that they rematch in 3 months and the fight is 4 months after that...and we know how the injury bug can strike. I was throroughly entertained, and I watched two of the three NYE cards |

And I will not knock who you decide to root for as it's completely your judgement. Did the thought ever occur to you that Kim was 'spent' was because he spent 14 minutes 15 seconds controlling, punching and dominating Him? As far as what Diaz could have done...I don't see much there bro. There was the armbar/triangle sub catch that he had in the first, and the thrid round where he finally got his jits going. and that was on a tired Kim. |

I think Kim won the fight, but according to fight metric Diaz landed more punches and while watching the fight Diaz definitely made Kim work throughout that fight despite Kim having the dominant position so there's something to be said for that. If the decision had gone Diaz's way I wouldn't have been too surprised/upset about it.
I kind of wished Nick was in there instead of Nate. Nick would have beat him black. http://blog.fightmetric.com/2011/01/...tatistics.html Despite that, I think we can all agree that the yellow bastard has no business saying GSP's name or thinking he's ready to fight against him. |

What do you guys think is next for Nate at 170? Would him fighting the loser of Penn v. Fitch intrigue you guys as a match up?

Diaz/Lytle would be a good fight.

That would be a banger..
I'd see Diaz taking it, if it went to the ground.. |

Do you guys think Vera would benefit from switching coaches or is he done? Maybe someone like Jackson could turn him around?

While Greg Jackson is Good, he is not the answer for every fighter. He could benefit from a visit to Sityodong for his stirking, or ATT for a better all around game. Truth (pun intended) of the matter is he was owned on the ground by Thiago and Bones. He needs to regroup, run thru SF, and try again.

Any change with a good coach wsho can get him to buy into a philosophy will get him back on top.
