Oof. Those are some obscure fighters. LeVesseur though...a national champ, right? Giving up some talent in that case.

The LeVesseur thing sucks because he lost his last fight after stepping in on like 24 hours notice for the ufc, but on the flip side, he was utterly embarrassed in his last fight. That was an ass kicking.

He's got like a twenty second gas tank that prevents him from being threatening and both his fights were Antonio McKee-level boring.

That's **** they cut him after a short notice loss, they ought to guarantee you another chance. Man, asshats. The worst was that Marcus guy they did the same to. Esp cos Dana always pushes some sort of macho code of doing right by badass behavior.

LeVess coulda had jitters his first fight and then he got stuck with a short notice his second, those don't nec reflect him.

He actually had 3 fights with his second being a win over the guy Erick Silva was DQed against.

There is (was) a lot of good fighters in SF

I really like: Gegard Mousasi and want to see him mix it up with the rest of the guys..

BTW: How long until the UFC buys Bellator????

ahhh man. They cut the gravedigger. Its a shame. I liked that dude a lot. Always came to fight and he had the most epic sideburns I had ever seen. But he just crapped out in the UFC. A shame.
