UFC 155

I'm not even convinced Lombard would smoke Okami on the feet if that were the case..

Bet depends on odds. So close to call. Lombard was injured in the boetsch fight. Broken sternum. I think he could give okami trouble because his takedown defense and ground game are both stellar and standing he has a speed and power advantage. Okami may have a size advantage.

I don't think Lombard has the speed advantage here. He may have better strike timing but I'm not convinced he's a faster fighter overall. Okami is the better MMA grappler and possibly the better ground grappler straight up. Okami has the ability to wear on Lombard provided he doesn't get smoked in the first round.

Maybe your right, I'm not sure though. I always thought he was fast. Maybe my memory is off.

Torn cartilage round one, loss of vision round two, broken nose & tko'd round three. Not how I wanted to end 2012.

Damn, that sucks. I wonder if his vision is still fucked up now after the fight.

Jamie Varner named Sherdog's Comeback Fighter of the Year.

Jamie Varner named Sherdog's Comeback Fighter of the Year.

Warrented. He suprised the shit out of me. I knew he had the skillset to beat Guillard but I honestly did not believe it would happen. I am referring to the wrestling and jiu jitsu.

[SPX]

I figure it's a good choice, even though I have mixed feelings about actually liking that motherfucker.

[Ludo]

I don't really see a better candidate. He fights Barboza on short notice and knocks him out, fights a close contest with Lauzon before getting caught and subbed, then beats Guillard. Guillard may have been on a skid already but it's still impressive. I can't really think of anyone else who came back from so far down as Varner this year. Maybe Matt Brown? Though I think Brown would just qualify for most improved fighter of the year instead of comeback. He only lost one of his two fights last year.

[SPX]

I think Brown would qualify since he was 1-4 in his last 5 going into 2012. Then he was 4-0 in 2012. Sounds like a good case to me.
