Entertaining...but a night of mismatches. Miguel continues his downward descent into MMA purgatory...

The brash brawling fighter is no more.

Can't believe I missed Spong's fight...

  • Spongs fight was a huge mismatch, the dude didn't even try for a takedown. What do you expect from a debut though, definitely keeping an eye on Spongs progression.
  • Torres losing a SD, wonder what's next for him, how much does he have left on the tank.
  • Rumble with a 1st round KO, LHW seems to fit him. 4-0 since leaving the UFC, is he getting a ticket back to the big leagues.
  • Arlovski with a 1st round stoppage, how far is he from a UFC contract? He will face Monson in early February. IMO, he's fighting for a UFC contract there.

Come on, Sefo said their intentions were to compete with the UFC one day. :thumb02: I'm all for setting up goals and all but..
- Johnson looks solid at 205. Let him make weight properly a few more times and then let him back in. I'd like to see Rumble/Rashad down the line.
Don't think you'll be seeing that fight. Both are Blackzilians and there are plenty of talent out there for them to avoid each other.

A few thoughts:

- I think Arlovski should be back in the UFC soon. IMO, when he fights with his head on straight he's a top 6-10 heavyweight. He beats the likes of Mir, Nog, Nelson, Browne, Rothwell, Struve, Miocic, etc. I think he'd take a rematch with Bigfoot. However, I think the likes of JDS/Cain/Overeem/Cormier would beat him soundly. I think that if he beats Monson he should at least fight one more opponent coming back to the UFC.

- I can't tell if Miguel Torres is suffering from Joe Stevenson syndrone or if he's having an identity crisis as a fighter. I actually gave Moraes all three rounds. I doubt we'll see Torres in the UFC anytime soon.

- Johnson looks solid at 205. Let him make weight properly a few more times and then let him back in. I'd like to see Rumble/Rashad down the line.

- Burkman actually looked good against Gerald Harris. I was pretty shocked that he won, as I expected Harris to be a monster at Welterweight.
