Strikeforce December 17th

[SPX]

I just don't think he does anything better than the top guys. I suppose he could catch Edgar with a big shot, but his wrestling is not as good and his striking is not as good, so I don't know why anyone thinks he could beat him.

Are you just assuming his wrestling isn't any good? Because I can't remember when Gil has been outwrestled since maybe the first Thomson fight, and there's reason to think that he has improved a lot since then. After all, Thomson lost a wrestling match to Kawajiri, and Gil absolutely dominated that Jap motherfucker.

Cruz should be pissed.
