yeah, definitely. God damn, his movement from the hips is incredible.

gotta agree with what others ahve said, though, a lot of people are going to look quick and coordinated against an aging bodybuilder. jeez, Monson's slow and plodding.

want to see more Cormier.
Hi love, bye love, I will miss my love.

Wait, dude is an euro adcc champ isn't he?


Indeed he is, 05 to be exact. Just seems that he's been suceptable to submissions in the past, but I'm not sure I can see too many people submitting him in the near future.


he won that with 4 straight guillotine choke finishes. it doesn't prove he's a great all-around grappler.

I don't know about being some insanely good grappler all around but dude is no slouch on the ground. He subbed Vitor, who does that? His guillotine is dangerous anywhere the fight goes.

Plus he has more wins by sub than anything else and the only person to ever submit him in mma is Werdum. I think the point of him not being subbed a lot in the future stands.

They should get Cormier in there again ASAP. He's one of those older prospects that needs fights quickly, and should be somewhat on the fast track to the big time. Luckily at HW it wouldn't take too much to break into the top 10-15.

Put him in there vs. Griggs, or even Rogers on the next HW GP event, or even sooner if possible (don't know what SF's schedule looks like).

Just watched this card, haven't had much fee time, had a death in the family.

Wow Griggs finished off V Overeem pretty quick.

Good win for Cormier, continues to improve.

Masvidal looked really good in fight with Noons.

Had a feeling Barnett would subm Rogers.

Werdum/Overeem was so boring, I nearly fell asleep.

Wow just read that Brett Rogers was caught strangling/beating his wife and child endangerment.

Loser.

If Rodgers did what he did then that a-hole deserves to get cut. But I've always kinda wondered what he did to make Scott Coker hate him so much. I mean the guys fought Andrei Arlovski, Fedor, Alistar Overeem and Josh Barnett in his last 4. That's just mean.
