Hey guys its been a long time since I have posted here in the forum, I know you all missed me haha. I have posted on The Lights Out Show here and there but I have been busy starting a family and stuff so I really haven't had time to check out the posts and make my as most of you say irrelevant arguments. But I have recently found some spare time and am ready to talk some MMA, I know yall are itching to give me a hard time so ill name off some of my random MMA thoughts I'd like to share and then yall can just tell me off or agree......yea right the day someone agrees with me is the day I become a Miami Heat fan.
* Did anyone know that The Ultimate Fighter 12's Johnathan Brookins fought Jose Aldo in one of Aldo's first fights and actually was able to toss Aldo in the first round. But he ended up losing pretty convincingly by TKO. I thought it was interesting to find out.
*Despite his win over Lesnar, The Cody sticks by the fact that Cain Velesquez is overrated! Dos Santos is gonna whoop his ass, its just a shame that Lesnar has turned into a woosey other wise he probably would of defeated Velesquez. Also if Velesquez could of avoided hitting Lesnar with illegal blows then maybe the fight would of ended differently but of course who am I to say.
*Rampage Jackson should fight Jon "Bones" Jones win or lose against Bader because that is a fight of the year calibur fight. I have been wanting to see that fight for a while and I hope to get to see it soon.
*Lyoto Machida has kind of hit a wall recently, I think that first fight against Shogun despite winning the fight did something to him made him change his game a bit. I wouldnt be surprised if he lost again. Hopefully he can find his swagger because without him the Light-Heavyweight division becomes very shallow.
*Gerald Harris being released from the UFC I thought was a stupid move on the UFC's part. I believe that he underestimated his opponent at this past UFC and that is why he had such a poor performance. I thought he was a guy that could kind of play the spoiler roll to up and coming Middleweights.
*Dana White has to do something about the welterweight division. After Koscheck/GSP winner fights Jake Shields whats next? Jon Fitch despite who ever he would face would lose to any of the 3 guys. Thiago Alves has become irrelevant just as I predicted about him. So who else is there? I mean Anthony Johnson had potential but I dont know where the hell he has been. Nate Diaz is on a roll but I dont think his size can carry him past the elite welterweights. Dong Hyun Kim may have potential but I think he is to one dimensional to do any real damage. The only guy I can think of who you can make a case for giving a shot in the future if he keeps winning is Carlos Condit, but much like I think about Jon Fitch I dont think Condit could beat GSP, Koscheck or Shields.
*I agree with Dana White about Marquardt being a big fight choker because the Marquardt against Okami was not the Marquardt I am used to seeing. I think Nate Marquardt put up a better performance against Chael Sonnen then he did against Okami and he spent most of that fight on his back. Anderson Silva vs Yushin Okami wouldnt even be a good Strikeforce main event jesus.
Last but not least
*Frankie Edgar WILL defeat Gray Maynard.
