IMO Okami's win over Munoz was very decisive, don't know what fight that third judge was watching but Munoz couldn't get anything going against Okami. I also thought Maia got robbed against Munoz. I too have always considered Munoz's high ranking in MW more a testament to the weakness of the division than a credit to his skills as a fighter. The guy went life and death with Kendall Grove and didn't come close to taking down Okami. I don't think many people seriously thought he was a threat to Anderson. I probably should have said Rockhold's resume was arguably better than Weidman's. It's hard to compare given the separation of the two divisions, but with Strikeforce being absorbed into UFC, I think time will show Kennedy and Jacare > Munoz and Maia
He was also taken down multiple times by Chris Leben. He's been taken down in pretty much all of his fights, in fact. Munoz may have the most overhyped wrestling pedigree in the sport.
Lombardo offers an interesting match up - he'd surely also get destroyed, but it would sure make for an interesting fight. A hell of a lot more interesting that watching an undersized nice guy GSP get annihilated, or any of the middleweight scrubs Andersons been routinely devastating If not Bones, then Lombardo would be fun in the meantime
Cung Le.........thats very funny........maybe he should try & rematch the other Silva.....a washed up Wandy & beat him before he decides to get annihilated by Anderson.....Weidman for mine......speaking of Wandy anyone giving him a chance of beating Stann in Japan.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not running a campaign for Munoz. I don't like him or his game, at all. (Albeit, that stupid-powerful ground 'n pound is fun for kicks.) But the division ****ing parted like the Red Sea for that guy. Well Maia has since picked up some good wins. I don't see Kennedy cracking the top-10 nor Souza a top-5 in the division. But doesn't matter really, Rockhold's badass, nonetheless.
Yeah, that's more what I meant. His wrestling credentials are legit, but he is far from a great MMA wrestler. Marcus LeVesseur is another example. One of the most successful Division III wrestlers of all time, with a 155-0 record, but just couldn't find that success that in the cage.
