He should have to work his way to the UFC thru smaller shows ! Judo gold medalist! much respect but let’s be real here MMA / judo huge difference! Dana is exactly right if the kid can fight go out and prove it outside the ufc and make it there through the blood sweat and tears every aspiring professional MMA ‘er puts forth!!!! I don’t care what people say about lesnar he won he beat 45 yr old Randy …Mir gonna put him in his place… AGAIN!! Lesnar Kimbo – they threw these guys out there with what a yr or so of complete MMA traing ( muay thai , bjj , boxing , wrestling ) and are given main events on ppv huge paychecks … I believe Kimbo made 500,000 $ to get ko’ed in 14 secs sick ! in my opinion its bad for the sport…. and MMA has made so many strides and jumped over so many hurdles to finally be taken serious in the eyes of the american sports fan …. not just some tuff man competion with combatants picked off the local bar stools!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another reason why Zuffa shouldn’t have merged the WEC’s MW and LHW divisions into the UFC so soon. You mean to tell me he couldn’t hang with Stann, Cantwell, the Rhino, just to name a few? I think he could. That’s why Zuffa needs to acquire an upstart smaller promo, to send all these guys…like the NAAFS. Regardless, this kids going to be special, handle with caution

i hope this isn’t all talk and the fact that it sounds like in Japan he’s pretty much hated now he can’t fight there…but if they start with him slowly I bet he can make a huge transition
