Amir is awesome. I can't even believe CB was bitching. Herb Dean was two inches away, the arm was bending and he was not defending it all, and then he makes one clear tap, Herb stops it. Cut and dry.
CB seemed like an *******. Rampage had it right when he said "the kid is good...but he got a huge-ass head". Amir, on the other hand, is a legit good guy. I liked it when Forrest mentioned, after Amir talked about being kind of intimidated of a fight, that Amir was only vocalizing what every fighter goes through. I've gained alot of respect for Forrest after this TUF, too.
He doesn't seem at all cut or athletic either, which makes me think that he will be able to move down. I'm afraid there will be too many guys at 185 who will be way stronger than he is and won't make the mistakes that all the guys from TUF made.
Great guy and a good fighter who even at 27 can improve alot at a good camp. He should move down to 170 and I think he will. Really glad he beat CB who is a complete dickhead. Amir had had some entertaining fights and seemed to know his way round the cage. Glad to see the young kid win on the under card. Riddler I think his name was. I thought he was going to be a total div but he was pretty decent on the show.
The amazing thing about this guy, is that he didn't even get started in the business until he was 21. According to him, aside from six months of wrestling in middle school, he didn't take part in any sports in high school. One minute he's a surgical technician, the next he's an amateur kickboxer and Muay Thai guy who literally comes from out of nowhere to a UFC contract. Amazing.
