I disagree, i cant see any middleweight taking those kind of shots without paying for it, even the great Wanderlei, Leben was superb , Silva got off first as i thought he would because he is faster than Leben, however he just didnt think and if any critisim can be aimed at Silva its likely he underestimated Leben.

If you didn't see the skill and intelligence at play in the Stann/Leben Stann/Santiago fights and the lack of both in Wandy/Leben (from wandy) you can only be called a CASUAL. 
One thing is true. With Stann as gatekeeper you will never see Wandy pass through. He's afraid to even try.
Now go on and lose your last drop of credibility with me by insulting MMA weekly  |
Well first of all MMA is all about matchups!
Secondly, Rankings don't mean s.hit (I got that from Tito
Santiago is and was ranked so high because he had multiple wins back in Japan and was a Champion. However, the organization he has fought in, isn't as relevant.
Santiago is a good fighter, but he is not a contender and never was. Just like Stann, Leben, Akiyama and many more..
I think Stann is even ahead of Demian Maia and Munoz too on many sides right? There you can see the holes in all these terrible ranking systems. They don't mean shit !!
I understand that the MW division is weak right now and Stann deserves to get a top guy now. Believe me, the first time he meets a great Wrestler or Striker.. he goes down.
You can't just cut weight and be an instant contender in the UFC.. it takes time and Stann is far from it. |

And now we know exactly how Wandy and Stann "matchup" with Leben.

Then why do you feel the need to be dishonest about Santiago's?
Santiago is and was ranked so high because he had multiple wins back in Japan and was a Champion. However, the organization he has fought in, isn't as relevant.
You could make the exact same statement about Wandy but, he still can't make top 10.
Santiago is a good fighter, but he is not a contender and never was. Just like Stann, Leben, Akiyama and many more..
Then why did you say that a win over Leben should earn Wandy a title shot?
I think Stann is even ahead of Demian Maia and Munoz too on many sides right? There you can see the holes in all these terrible ranking systems. They don't mean shit !!
I'm not talking about "many sides" I'm talking about MMA_WEEKLY and your planet. If they "don't mean shit" quit throwing them around to make your points.(nick diaz)
I understand that the MW division is weak right now and Stann deserves to get a top guy now. Believe me, the first time he meets a great Wrestler or Striker.. he goes down.
do you mean a "great striker" like wandy?

This has certainly proven true for Wandy. Stann has earned contender status.

I would have liked to see Belcher vs Stann. Any decent wrestler would give Stann the fits. Actually Vitor Belfort vs Brian Stann would be very interesting.
Somebody gonna get hurt real bad here...

I cant believe Bobs doesn't see the contradictions. Oi! Cooper!? Are you winding us all up?? So brazen are your posts of late that I'm starting to think this is all engineered to cause a ruckus.
Either that, or oldboys right, and you have been kidnapped... or possessed... or replaced by a clone. |

Understood.
Anyway, I do think Machida will do just fine against Chael. I'm a little scared at the risk of having Machida lose, since nowadays everyone that wins is a damn wrestler, but I can still say I'm confident that Machida will pull through here.
