    Can someone tell me about this guy? He looked very good and quite relaxed in his UFC debut. Seems like a VERY good striker although a bit short for a heavy but quite stocky with fast hands and good low kicks.:think

    Is the dude who beat that one flabby guy who took about 20 secounds to get up from a standup ? He looked ok if this is who im thinking of but hes going to have to fight someone of note for me to be impressed.

    He beat some flabby heavyweight but his striking in my opinion was very good. He seemed like a very powerful striker with fast hands. I reckon he can make some noise. So far according to Sherdog he`s had 4 fights all by KO.

    Yeah hes looked fairly impressive but agian he needs a stepup that guy didnt wanna fight the other night. Give him a decent guy next maybe Eddie Sanchez or something.

    Sanchez is a tin can.

    He looked impressive, can or not, very good striking.
    But yeah, he is short, might not be a good thing vs big guy

    He comes from a kickboxing background and im sure I have seen him fight before in K-1. Not sure of how far he can go as we dont really know what his ground game is like and his height/size could be a problem.
