    Dont get me wrong, Im a HUGE fan but sometimes I wonder if he isnt given more credit then he deserves. In his last 5 fights hes 1-3-1 with his only win being over an old *** Matt Hughes. Hes lost to McDonald, Edgar x2, and then had that majority draw with Fitch. Like I said, Im a big fan of his and always have enjoyed watching him fight but his lack of dedication to the sport has really started to annoy me on some levels I guess. He looked his best when he had Marinovich in his corner, ever since then hes looked terrible and tonight paints that picture really well. In between rounds youve got your "team" patting you on the back, telling you that you can do it but providing zero guidance, no strategy, his entire team has turned into a bunch of cheerleaders which only further hurts him in the end. Anyways, just disappointed in yet another terrible showing from my favorite fighter.

      BJ should be in the hall regardless of how he ends his career. He is one of the only 2 guys to win a belt in 2 weight classes. Also most people believe BJ got screwed in the first fight against Edgar and if he wins that fight who knows how this last 2 & a half years turn out. (what ifs, I know :/)

        Even with his struggles... His domination of a division and the fact he is 1 of 3 to hold a belt in 2 weight classes make him a HOFer.

          Yeah, once he stopped working with Marinovich, he hasn't been the same. It was like he didn't like dominating people by actually training hard. BJ wants to win his way, and his way only. Very similar to Tito in that regard. Both surround themselves with Yes men and no one to call them out or offer constructive advice.

            Cyborg was given the shot and her "manager" Tito Ortiz told her not to take it so Id be surprised if that happens anytime soon. I guess Im skeptical how long they can keep this going before its 6 women all fighting eachother once a year just to stay active, I mean Cyborg wont fight her apparently and she just destroyed Tate so that leaves two women available and if she beats Carmouche that leaves 1 unless Cyborg suddenly changes her tune.

              If Ronda loses, it wouldn't surprise me to see WMMA gone quick from the UFC.

                  Last I heard that Cyborg is on tap for Rousey if/when she wins her match.

                    Cyborg will fight her in the summer. She says she can make 135 pounds but she can't make it by February. Tate deserves a rematch too. You could sell all four.

                      Tate only deserves a rematch because there is nobody else to really worry about leapfrogging outside of Cyborg and she's coming off a steroid suspension herself and hasnt fought in forever. If anything let Tate and Cyborg fight and whoever wins gets Rousey next after her Carmouche fight.

                        Damn I expected that to be a lot closer.

                          I've got 29-28 Gustafson. Possibly 30-27.

                          What you guys think?

                              30-27 Gus. First round was close though.

                                yea, I'm not surprised at all by 30-27. I figured round 1 could have gone either way, gave Shogun the benefit of the doubt.
