Oh and how many standing 8 counts would Edgar have had against Maynard. Part of MMA is the ability to survive. Some have it, others don't.
Yeah you only have to look at Werdum and Frank Mir to know a heavily rocked guy can still be dangerous.
The obvious comparison if we are doing where are they now type **** is to compare the UFC dominators from the PRIDE time Randy Couture...
Noone else got any love for Benavidez? Guy is quite small for his new flyweight division and he has battered former bantamweight champs in Torres...
Castillo is susceptible to getting shut down by top level wrestlers as happened with Volkmann and Roller. Good, entertaining fighter but not a guy...
Good to have him back, his style makes him a really interesting challenge for Cruz despite recent losses IMO.
He was an excellent spoiler and neautraliser of styles. probably rated about right, if mma was set up like boxing he would have been mega avoided.

Rutten has probably been more effected by retiring. What part of that would have gone differently if he was a few years younger? Nog's own...
He's either got knocked out standing or fought people like Couture who are submission savvy since then or not bothered hitting the ground, ie with...
Standing he absolutely isn't. On the ground I haven't seen an awful lot of evidence that he's slipped.
Overeem has a glass heart when things aren't going his way and suspect cardio, the worst things for both those is an ape like Lesnar on top of...
Less of a difference than it does standing. Especially as it's just bjj with those two, it's 90% technique.
It's one of those fights that is 50/50 but won't be competitive on the night. Either Overeem smashes Brock quickly standing or Brock takes him...
