Agreed, I think in all the Lesnar hype people forget that Sakuraba is by far the best transition from pro wrestling to MMA.
Overeem is peaking late. Rogers is not a bad HW at all and imo in the UFC would be a top 10 ranked HW and Overeem tossed him around like a small...
Overeem is not a good fight at all for Dos Santos, he likely dominates him wherever the fight takes place. Bigger, stronger, K-1 level striker,...
IIRC they were doing that because he was showing no interest in signing a new contract and they didn't want him beating their top guys then...
Would have thought a lot of the Japanese ones would have a better base. Yuji Nagata might have done okay if his first two fights hadn't been...
Other than Lesnar, the only other WWE guy who could have had much success in MMA is Kurt Angle. EDIT - Maybe Shelton Benjamin too.
They didn't really cut Andrei, they just weren't going to pay him $1,500,000 to fight like Affliction did.
I'd throw Kawajiri in to the 155 pile too, he's still good enough to beat most UFC lightweights.

Would add Eddie Alvarez to the above list.
Mark Coleman was a world class wrestler. More decorated than Cain.
Obvious that Fedor would kill him. His reaction to getting hit is terrible, lord knows what he'd do if Fedor landed on him.
He stopped them from a peak Mark Coleman.
He had no takedown to fear against Nelson, he's not an idiot, he will adapt his plan to suit. Cro Cop never wrestled either but still has better...
Maybe Kampmann is just an idiot? This is the same guy with a good ground game who stood with Daley. He also took the most difficult route against...
