    yea i think huerta gets too much credit for his wins. Dont get me wrong he is exciting and very talented but we all saw what happen to him when he step up his competition. He went to life and death against clay guida and loss to kenny florian.

    Roger Huerta isnt overrated. He isnt even a fighter anymore. He said it recently, that his career with MMA is over.

    I like Kampmann, i'm surprised Nate beat him so easily and quickly. Welterweight is a much better weight for him and his fight with Condit in a few weeks time should be a good one.

    Im impressd with Kampmann to. To his credit he was undersized at 185 look at how guys like McFedries and Marquardt made him look tiny and bullied him in the standup although he still took their best shots until Marquardt got him in the body. Even then Kampmann was a contender there and beat some top guys like McFedries, Thales Leites and Jorge Rivera. I just watched his 170 pound debut agianst Alex Barro alittle while ago and he looked strong there even after the weight cut and taking that disgusting low blow early on. I like him hes got very strong Jiu Jitsu skills and nice solid techniqual standup with some good conditoning.

    I cant wait for him to get it on with Carlos Condit its the best UFN match in years IMO. Both guys are young dynamic guys who I think will contend if not win a Championship in the coming years. The additions to 170 of these guys is great for the UFC I think that divison needed some fresh faces with Parysian always inactive, Hughes is one foot out the door, BJs gotta stay at 155. Add these guys with Mike Swick emerging at that weight im loving this divison agian
