    just wanted to get a few opinions on who people thought is or are the most improved fighters in the ufc(any division).

    I would be tempted to say machida but as a massive florian fan i have got to go with him.

    and also what do you feel the result of penn v florian will be?
    im going for a big big upset with florian split decision!

    How about GSP? Since his loss to Serra, he's been a machine.

    Truthfully he was a machine before Serra also.

    yea gsp is still improving but i think josh koscheck has improved dramatically. His wrestling has always been good but now his stand up is a lot better. He is more of a complete fighter now. I would love to see him fight the winner of gsp-alves just cuz when he fought alves he was in a 2 weeks notice.

    Kos with a good gameplan, and a good training camp, would beat Alves.

    Not necessarily. While it is true that Koscheck came into the fight with the ******ed idea that he could possibly hang with Alves standing, after the trouncing he took in the 1st round he did try and take Alves down. But he couldn't, so I think Alves would beat him again, doing the exact same thing. Defending the takedowns and knocking 7 shades of **** out of him standing.

    true he did go for the takedown but alves stopped it. Alves i think have a good chance of beating GSP.

    Florian, Maynard and even though he was great before, GSP. GSP just keeps getting better.
