Really think High will beat Moore here...Coy was able to outwrestle and control Moore for the 1st round before getting hit with a KO punch immediately in round 2. However, High usually gets crazy -400 lines against the unknowns he is put up against in Strikeforce. If High and Healy both come out at -400 or worse, I will parlay them. I will be betting Healy regardless though, would love him to come out in the -200s

Yeah, Marquardt looked awesome last night. I was real impressed. Woodley showed some great improvements as well. The thing is....who at 170 in SF can he fight for his first title defense? The problem is that there are such limited contenders, as well as lack of SF shows. I am guessing we will see Nate vs Tarec/Bowling in 2013 or late 2012Comment

It's like we were talking about, there were questions surrounding this fight regarding Marquardt. How would the weight cut affect him, i.e. would he gas or lose too much strength dropping down? And how would the layoff affect him?
I guess those questions were answered. They didn't have much affect. It looks like the drop was a good move.
As for competition, at least the situation at WW isn't as bad as at MW. There Saff and Bowling, like you mentioned. And Jordan Mein can maybe string a few wins together and get a shot. Hopefully that will be enough to keep Marq occupied until he gets called back to the UFC.I heart cockComment

The best fight I can think of is Marquardt vs. Rockhold.
Smaller organizations always provide a good example of how having too many weight-classes is a problem. The current weight-class system is basically designed for an organization with the UFC's depth.Comment

I don't think Marq will want to move back up to 185 after working to get to WW and Rockhold definitely can't make WW.
I guess they could do a catchweight, but I'm not sure why they would.
As for not having any depth to the divisions, I don't get why they don't just bring more fighters in. Make it about quantity if it can't be all about quality. Plunder the smaller orgs for all of their very best guys.I heart cockComment
