Hey..........that's my line

I am really surprised at this match up, I thought the UFC would try and give Stann an easy road a title fight.

I was thinking the same

I just can't believe than Stann has flourished while Steve Cantwell has struggled so badly.

Yeah, that shit is bananas.

I remember watching Kryzstoff kimura Stann with ease. WITH EASE! I mean he schooled him on the ground like Stann had never grappled a day in his life. I assumed he was he was out of the UFC THEN.

[SPX]

I definitely thought that was the beginning of the end.

Gay fight. They could not have given Chael a more favorable matchup. That said, I think Stann is live here, he has definitely improved and he looks better every time.

Maia/Sonnen II or Palhares/Sonnen. How do you not give him a brazilian after all the nonsense he has been saying?

Doesn't make sense for either guy. Whatever, Sonnen hasn't even been licensed yet. CSAC says it is not a foregone conclusion that he will be licensed.

[flyinggogoplata]

Does the csac matter at this point? Barnett never did shit for the csac and he's doing fine

Nog, Shogun, Rampage, and A. Silva all became champs in the UFC right after coming over from Pride (yeah, I know Anderson went to a different org first). Pride guys actually did pretty well in the UFC.

He nailed the Steven Segal thing though.

i just think a lot of fights are worked in japan
