He has been gone from the UFC for a long time. Many of the new mma fan base has no idea who he is. Though I personally like a Barnett vs Mir fight, I bet the UFC gives him a can first. Someone he can...

I agree. And there are still rumors that Rashad may drop to 185. That would really make it interesting.

As for those of you wondering who is better Jacare or Maia, they have met a few times in BJJ...

Didnt Lombard say he was dropping to 170?

Grant/Maynard winner gets title shot. That has already been determined. Guadinot is fighting McCall next most likely. I do like the Thiago/Cote match up though.

Any thoughts as to who they fight next?

My thoughts

Vitor vs Chael? Not sure what makes sense for either at this point
Rockhold vs Franklin
Jacare vs Bisping
Dos Anjos vs winner of...

Not that he was an amazing fighter, but always put on a show win or lose, Gary Goodridge. Guy fought almost 50 times and went to a decision only 5 times.

El Guapo...

Anderson is a middleweight. Why no Rashad? He use to fight at heavyweight. With such weight differences it could cause stylistic problems for some. Would the 205lbers have to make weight?

Often times the first one or two might be just a natural reaction. You may have let the punch fly before you even realized he was out. I always respect guys who know when a guy is out and just walk...

I like a Sonnen vs Franklin match-up better. Maybe at a catch weight like 190 or 195. But I agree, Sonnen vs Wandy is next. He asked for it after his loss when Rogan interviewed him.

It is a nice slam. As for the Hammer Fists, a slam doesnt always, or even usually, end in a KO. The guy instinctively went for the finish and the ref jumped in as soon as he could. Once lifted in the...

Kos is a much better wrestler than Fitch. My guess is he uses it as defense and keeps the fight standing. He will win a standup fight with Maia. Kos is a big name for Maia, 2 losses in a row or not....

We have watched GSP, Anderson and Jones dominate for some time now. Even Ronda might be in this category. The question is, who finally dethrones them? Which one loses first?

GSP and Anderson both...

So I guess the question then is, do nicknames help or hurt a fighter or neither. Does having a nickname give some type of marketing advantage or not? Is it better to have an absurd name like "twinkle...

Murilo Bustamante

Fedor was the emperor or something like that and Filho is "ely".

I certainly agree. However, don't you think being in the mind of casual fans helps them market themselves and helps gain sponsors and thus gain money?

As I watched the events this past weekend it occurred to me that many notable fighters such as Frank Mir do not have a nickname. What other fighters do not have nicknames and if you could give them...

- Benson Henderson vs. Maynard/Grant (winner)

- Daniel Cormier vs. Jon Jones if he wins

- Josh Thomson vs. Donald Cerrone if he wins

- Matt Brown vs. Dan Hardy

- Chad Mendes vs. Clay Guida

Robbed? It was a somewhat close fight. Cruz clearly won at least 3 rounds, maybe 4 in my opinion. But to say Faber actually got robbed as if he clearly won is absurd.

Pickett is coming off 1 win because the fight prior he lost to the champ. Pickett is the logical choice.

Interesting topic. The question is, for wrestling for example, is this the best wrestler in context on mma, or the best wrestler? guys like Askren and even Koscheck would wreck GSP in a regular...

Conor McGregor currently has 9 in a row. All but 1 were in 1st round. Overall he is 13-2 with all 15 being stoppages and only 3 left the first round, none left the second round.

In hindsight I am sure he regrets saying it. But lets be honest, what is happening is pretty crazy. As an All-American wrestler who never made it on the Olympic team, can I just pop a few pills,...

What is next for these guys? Some seem obvious.

GSP vs Hendricks
Mein vs Brown
Condit vs Kampmann or Ellenberger
Roop vs Bowles
Dillashaw vs Viana
Elkins vs Mendes
