    Agreed their LHW is shite. But im sure Gegard will do what ever is best for his pocket. And im not sure right now if thats the UFC. As he has more opportunitys to earn outside of that.

    The division is growing slowly.

    Henderson and Mousasi are obviously quality fighters, as is Babalu. Lawal is a good fighter off of the back of his Mousasi win. Cavalcante off the back of his Lawal win.

    Mike Kyle always makes things interesting and Roger Gracie could be one to watch.

    St.Preux and Britt deepen the division.

    It'll be hard for the SF 205 ever to compete with the UFC 205. 205 is probably SFs weakest division, along with 155. Signings in both those divisions will have to be made quick to keep their guys happy.

    Davis, Vera, Jardine, Coleman etc could be approach.

    Randy Couture is known for his wrestling but his stand up has improved a lot.

    true indeed achilies.

    strikeforce is growing fast, they are not as deep as the ufc's lightheavyweight division, but this could be to their benefit, with the ufc champs defending their belt only once or twice a year things can get stagnated at the top of a stacked division.

    with less fighters contender status can become more simplified.

    You see, as a fan you must find the good in any situation.

    Exposed him how ? I can give you the TDD, but King Mo wasn't able to do **** on the ground, no transition, no dammage no nothing. So it's Moussassi that exposed Kking Mo for being a unidimensional fighter that he is !;)

    before the fight everyone was licking mousasi nuts saying how good this guy is. How's his the best fighter and then king mo comes in and beat him.

    He doesn't have a good takedown defense. He could strike but how good can your striking be when your on you back all night long:good

    I guess you didn't see King Mo face after the fight...;)

    With L'n'p the only thing King Mo achieved was NOT getting sub from Moussassi guard...

    Moussassi was never exposed, if the fight took place it Japan would have been different !;):good

    MMA is not just striking. King mo took him down all night long. This is MMA where takedowns count a lot.

    Who won this fight?:good

    I still find it astounding that the man only has 8 KO's.

    Bad exemple.

    GSP could swtich stance against BJ, GSP was able to GNP BJ, GSP was dominating in that fight.

    King Mo was able to take Moussassi down, but he didn't dominate him, he didn't swtich stance, wasn't able to dammage Moussassi.

    All that from the guard !;)

    Let me ask the question another way. Wich fighter was the closest to finish, King Mo or Moussassi ?

    It doesn't matter who was close to being finished cuz king mo was still winning the fights. Mayweather look like he was about finished in the 2nd round vs mosley but end up dominating the fight.

    King mo was dominating mousasi taking him down at will.
