    If he gets by Aaron Simpson who do you think the UFC will give him next? How far into contention can he go?

    he could probably take most of the mw division however the better wrestlers such as chael sonnen, and yushin okami could beat him easily, mayhem vs vitor or mayhem vs nate marquadt would be a good match to watch.

    Well Mayhem isn't the wrestling novice he use to be. His Brazilian Jujitsu is very high caliber and he would've submitted Jake Shields had the clock not ran out.

    He calls himself "daddy grappler" for a reason.

    Mayhem will do well in the UFC, he's working with Mark Munoz on his wrestling and is training with some of the world class fighters.

    The second video was very insightful. I look for him to get moved into title contention very quickly.

    I doubt he could win the title but he will definately win more than he loses. One thing's for sure , he will bring plenty of excitement to the octagon. I will be supporting him.

    My guess would be Demian Maia, Rousimar Palhares or maybe the winner of Stann/Santiago.

    I'm thinking it'll be Stann... Maia wont pose much of a threat due to lack of striking and Mayhem being impossible to submit.

    I see him struggling unless he continues to improve his striking and wrestling.

    Leben would be a one sided fight.. he'd immediately take Leben down and submit him. Either that or smash knees into his face. Knees are Leben's Achilles heel.
