l was pretty disappointing with Njkouani (spelling?) l always enjoyed watching him fight and thought of him as a exciting stand up fighter who would find his stand up to be more effective if he worked on his ground game / scrambles / TDD a little more. The better your ground game is the more effective your striking can be l think (think about the shields vs sexyama fight, no way shields beats akiyama in a muay thai fight but he out struck him because akiyama was gun shy and kept thinking he's going to get shot / pulled guard on) l think he'll get cut after the loss to Pichell who really won't do anything more than be a 50/50 fighter in the ufc before he gets cut without making it to a main card.
Tony Ferguson is a monster at LW. l don't quite know if he's as 'powerful' as Joe was making him out to be but he cracked his opponent pretty good for a flash KO. Some of the asian guys from Ring of Combat, ONE FC, Deep etc just don't quite cut it when it comes to being in the UFC. It's too much of a step up and the time difference and everything has to get to you. l'd like to see Ferguson get a step up in his next fight, possibly against.... J-Lau, Cerrone, Cruickshank (spelling?) Something like that anyway. The cruickshank fight would be more for the excitement than anything though.
Cheisa does what he always does and that's grapple fuck people. He coulnd't get the sub over the stocky brazillian guy but he's back in the W column. l doubt he'll go on to be a top 10 guy but he's a top 10-15 gate keeper l think.
Robbie Lawler had a great fight against Ellenberger who once again failed to really pull the trigger but Joe's commentating in this fight was so fucking biased even for him. Robbie would hit a jab and Jake would hit a 1-2-3 and he'd call "Robbie with a stiff jab!"... Lawler vs Condit maybe?? Since woodley and Rory are fighting. No idea, l'm assuming he'd want a quick turn around though so hopefully he gets it.
Cormier rag dolled Henderson essentially which l think quite a lot of people thought would happen. Cormier was bigger, stronger and faster than the aging non TRT Hendo. Hendo's sticking hasn't been quite up to par his last few fights l didn't think (l know he got the ko over shogun but he was getting cracked quite a bit and they were having a bigger impact than they usually do on him). He's tough as shit but l dont want to see him fall into the Chuck category before Dana makes him pull the pin...l think l would have liked to see Cormier vs Gus to fight jones but that would leaves jones on the outside for too long plus the UFC would miss out on a big re match than the Cormeir title fight.
