The guy is super aggresive 5-0 in the WEC; all impressive 1st round KO's. He may be able to give some of the UFC top 205's (Forest Griffin, etc) a run for their money.

Although he is very impressive.... I dont think hes UFC material. But you never know he might surprize everybody.

I think he's being brought up slowly, but the right way... His opponents seems to get progresively more skilled and he keeps putting out good results... For some reason his striking reminds me of a bigger Nate Quarry...

Even though he only has 5 fights, I would think that the WEC belt would be in his sights before stepping up to the UFC... A little more experience, and I don't see why not...

Also since his fights end so soon, it's hard to tell if he's got the gas tank or the ground game to tough out a 3 rd dec

That's true; he could be completely one-dimensional, and we wouldn't really know it.

he seems pretty big to me, then again he fought a 195er wednesday so who knows. either way theres no way hes ready for top flight competition yet, give him a nice 1 or 2 year run as WEC LHW champ and we'll talk.

wow did i go apeshit on here tonight, i guess im a talkative drunk
