He's a smart fighter and elusive, but I don't think he's as skilled as Anderson, Fedor or GSP. I think that will become clear now that he's fighting elite guys from here on out. There won't be any more Sokoudjous or Nakamuras for him. I know he's good, but you indicated Lesnar would be in real danger of getting knocked out. He KO'd Silva, that's it. That's the only person he's ever knocked out.

No one has an opinion, really?

Man, you've gone way out on a limb there. He may very well end up being in the same category as Fedor or Silva by the end of his career or in a few years, but he doesn't have an extensive enough history to mention him among them just yet. I happen to think Rashad has a good chance of derailing Machida's bandwagon. He's only knocked one person out. I think it's highly doubtful that he'd KO Lesnar. I like how after the Silva fight he's taken on these mythical qualities.

This doesn't sound much like a tournament. It sounds like a lot of people are going to be left with fighters with low morale and paying for a month or two months time in a gym in which they're not going to be training in.

So Atencio said he'd like to fight Dana. We've probably all heard it about it now: http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news?slug=ki-a...o&type=lgns Here's Dana's response to Atencio's offer: http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/blog/cagewrite...?urn=mma,163333 There was really no reason for White to call him a "fucking loser." Atencio wasn't being a dick when he suggested it. I would've loved to have seen this go down and for Dana to get his ass kicked. What say you?

How long near the end of the third round your fighter "swings for the fences" when he's losing.
