UFC on Versus 4

[poopoo333]

Nope what?

You're saying that Maia, a former title challenger, doesn't inhabit a role in MW that is generally equivalent to Alves's role?

Oh, the Maia that got KOd, beat Dan Miller, and stepped in as a late replacement for Vitor Belfort so they could keep Anderson Silva on the Abu Dahbi card? Yeah, let's compare that to a guy who went on a 7 fight winning streak and beat 3 straight top 10 opponents in impressive fashion to get a title shot.

Okay smart guy, so who are the Alves's of MW?

[poopoo333]

Oh and let's see.. since 2007 Marquardt beats:

Jeremy Horn ...out of the UFC
Martin Kampmann ...is now a WW
Wilson Gouviea ...the guy with no gas tank and who was 10 lbs off in his next MW fight, and 3 lbs over in his LHW fight in the MFC
Rousimar Palhares...who wasn't even looking
Dan Miller ...lol

Not Horn, Kampmann, Gouviea, Palhares, or Miller

[edman5555]

palhares who wasn't even looking. haha

Miller is pretty decent.

Good points though.

[SPX]

Not Horn, Kampmann, Gouviea, Palhares, or Miller

Or Maia?

So who? Seriously . . . tell me who would occupy the Alves spot at MW. You didn't like my picks so offer some of your own.

The MW division is thin as hell, so nobody really. If Okami loses to Silva in Rio...then I guess Okami. But even he only had a 3 fight win streak to get to the title. Maybe even Chael Sonnen. There really isn't a "Thiago Alves spot at MW".

[SPX]

I agree, but in that case, you have to at least that someone like Maia or Palhares--or Okami, sure--would be the nearest equivalent.

Kampmann injured; Brown vs. Howard, Attonito vs. Roberts set for UFC on Versus 4

[SPX]

Fucking gay.

[Luke]

would have lost anyway ..........

[SPX]

LOL

Stop playing.

[poopoo333]

Yeah Kampmann would have probably gotten KOd in that one. John Howard is no Diego Sanchez.

[SPX]

I would literally stake my IWS account on Martin Kampmann.

Howard is about 2 levels below Kampmann. He would be totally outclassed. Could he land a hail Mary KO? Sure. Anyone could. But to say that that's the LIKELY result? Pure foolishness.

I don't know how it happened, but somehow the peeps around here got delusional when it comes to Howard. He's a Gatekeeper4Life.
