He's a legit top 10 guy. I do think he matches up badly against the top 3 in the FW division though. Aldo is a killer and if he doesn't check kicks like he didn't against Poirer he'd be in a lot of trouble. In a 5 round fight I'd definitely favor Edgar over him as well and Mendes is a great wrestler than can hang on the feet.

Aldo/Mendes
Cub/Frankie
Bermudez/Lamas

I can't wait to see Conor go up against any of these guys. He's no worse than #7 in the division.

After watching the post fight conference I came to really like Conor and where he comes from.

Cowboy trips me out with his post fight beverage. Pretty cool.

Re: UFC 178 - Johnson v. Cariaso, Cerrone v. Alvarez - September 27

Cerrone has been a fav of mine for a while now - and now he may be my #1

The 2 things I love about him:

1) he brings the pain. His shots always are hard and look so uncomfortable to take, the leg kicks hurt just watching, but so do those inside knee's to the body, and how he roughs up dudes against the cage. It always just is so MEAN! lol

2) he's arguably the most exciting fighter in the UFC and for me will go down as one of the top guys in that category. He takes risks, often gets caught early, and def get hit a lot because of his sometimes questionable defense, but it largely stems from his aggressive attitude and fearlessness. On the flip side, he's got a head-kick reel, a punch reel, a knee reel and a submission reel of spectacular wins.

If you were forced to watch straight fight footage of anyone in the UFC of all of their fights, in my opinion Cerrone's would be the most entertaining. I can't think of anyone else - it's 99% guaranteed entertainment every single time.

I'd throw Joe Lauzon in there. I love watching that man fight.

Chuck Liddell was my "must watch" for the longest time. Even towards the end there, someone was going down... be it him or someone he was fighting.

GSP mainly, though. He's so technically proficient it amazes me, though I'll grant you a ton of people can find it 'boring'.
