Strikeforce December 17th

[sbjj]

I got ya. But I will tell you what, for a guy with one good hand I think he did pretty damn good. That is why I said "a guy with one hand did that well".

[SPX]

If the broken hand thing is true, then the fight basically told us nothing about either guy.

As for how well Gil would do in the UFC, I feel like it's really hard to say. I wouldn't be surprised to see him do as well as a lot of people expect, but I also wouldn't be surprised to see him be a bit disappointing.

I think it shoewd that Masvidal could bust Gil up with one hand. Now just imagine if the right cross was there right after the jab. Because usually if your jab is landing so is your right cross.

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.

Do not tell that to Frank Shamrock. Gil is the #1 LW in da world!

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.
