    The guy was really very close to a title shot.

    And based on potential alone he's one of those great coulda should woulda.

    Brown belt in BJJ, Olympic alternate in Greco-Roman and sick Muay Thai.

    Complete package right?

    But something went wrong, I don't know if it's heart, dedication or appetite for battle. But he's not the force that he once was.

    Okay, past is past, can he still be a force at 205 with a renewed dedication for fighting?

    He still made Vera go from top prospect to shot :deal

    Nobody is the same after they punch Mur in the face...remember Brock, Carwin, Freeman, and Cruz...they all went to ****

    Prime Murs face destroys fighters careers

    I'm surprised he didn't call it a day after Thiago bitched slapped him with his juiced up hands.
