Pretty soon Faber will be top featherweight again.

That will be a great fight. Either one could easily win that fight. Brown is a tough dude.

Faber just got caught, he shouldn't have tried that wild elbow. He will get his belt back.

Would be nice if Kid got back to serious activity.

He is fighting in a couple days, but against a guy who is 1-0. I would kill to see Kid in the WEC right now.

Post #7 » by **CPT** » Mon May 25, 2009 9:43 am

Joe Warren is 1-0 but he's a decent prospect I think. He's an elite wrestler, but he was suspended from the US Olympic team for testing positive for weed. Kid should beat him, but he's no can.

Then, assuming everything goes as planned, Kid will run into an elite FW at some point in this tournament.

WEC would be the best place for him though.

He's a can, c'mon.

Against Kid, probably, but the guy was headed to the Olympics and beat Chase Beebe in his MMA debut. There might be something there.

He was losing that fight against Beebe and only won because it was stopped for a cut.

I don't think he is a can, but he has no shot against Kid.

Post #11 » by **CPT** » Mon May 25, 2009 11:41 pm

I'm not saying he does, this is all pretty much in response to Kid needing to get back to serious activity, which is what this tournament is. He'll have to fight at least 3 times this year to win it, and at least one of those should be against a top 5-10 guy. He'll probably get favourable matchups all the way, but he'll be fighting every couple months against guys who have advanced in a tournament.

Thanks. I adjust it on my site every time a big MMA event happens. I'll update it again after Dream 9.

Mousasi is a LHW now. I think Mayhem and Jacare were fighting for his vacated belt.

cowboyronnie · Post #16 » by **cowboyronnie** » Thu May 28, 2009 3:02 am

Where's Takaya?

They were. I need him to fight at LHW once or twice before I make the switch.

Right on the cusp. He is likely in with another win in the tourney. Same with Bibiano.

King Mo? Jacare isn't a top 20 LHW with his BJJ credentials that are at least on par with Maia's?

Jace hasn't fought the caliber of fighter Maia has. He is right there in the cusp though. As is King Mo. LHW is a deep division, Mo will have to beat a name before making the jump in. A win over Mayhem again would likely have jumped Jacare into the mix.
