    At 33 and at his size/style, he's never going to be a world beater at LHW. But there are a lot of great fights for him providing they match him right. Khalil Rountree comes to mind immediately.

    I'd like to see him go down to 185 if it was possible. I don't think he could be a top 15 LHW but maybe top 15 at MW with his power being more of a factor there.

    Maybe someone like Gian Villante next.

    I think the Khalil Roundtree fight is a good next step. And Villante is a good step provided that goes well, since Villante is basically a stationary target.

    I hope Saki is working his tdd and grappling so we get treated to more highlight reel finishes.

    Gökhan Saki vs. Khalil Rountree signed for UFC 219 in December! Good to see UFC matchmakers using some common sense for once.

    It is a little too late to transition to MMA like Cro Cop did.
