    What's your opinion on him? Can he become one day the champion in WW division??

    I see him as a good striker, with good MT. Good BJJ, good off his back. Very good chin.

    Not good wrestling though, he need to be better at sprawl or he will never beat the Fitch, Kos, GSP ect ect..He should upgrade his conditionning too.

    But he still is young and very cool guy!

    How do you know he's cool?
    I think he's got a lot of potential no doubt. He trains few lights away from me and used to work where I work right now :lol: so I'll support any home boys from around my area to make it big, unless they're a douche that is. :).

    He has great range, vicious knees, and good overall Muay Thai. I think he can be controlled on the ground by better wrestlers though, so I don't see him ascending to the upper echelon of the division. I think he'll be more like a Jardine--he'll beat some good competition and lose to some good competition.

    Gee with him being so close i would think you'd have at least heard from trusted source whether or not he is a douche. Like maybe people that worked with him that you work with now? Or maybe you'd take a ride down the street and see for yourself?

    Are you trying to sound like a smart ass or does it come out natural? :roll:


    I'd like to know at what point I said(or made it sound like it) that I don't know if he's a douche or not?

    Good athlete, GREAT size, good striking. I think he has alot of potential just not sure how long his frame will be able to stay at 170.

    I see him being at MW in a couple years.

    I don't see Danzig as being a douche. He didn't like the fact that Hughes was pushing his religion on everybody, how is that being a douche?

    Seems like a pretty decent guy to me. he talks about the TUF experience at around the 3:00 mark.

    What? Danzig is a class A ****. The guys was always angry at everybody, and was always on the back of that poor guy who was horrible saying he shouldnt be a fighter and bla bla bla.

    Where did I talk about the fact of the religion?
