Mike was my coach for a long time and I look forward to seeing him fight again. And I was not nasty because I am not some keyboard warrior...just a guy who trains BJJ and loves the fight game.

I got Boetsch confused with Hammil for some reason. I appreciate you pointing it out and not being nasty about like some people get when we make mistakes. Thanks again.

I'm not a big Pete Sell fan, but i do respect that both him and Mike Brown put on crowd pleasing stand up fights, and that Vera has had all the opportunity in the world to do so against Andy and Jardine and failed to deliver. Grove's only win has been over Tanner, and even that wasn't that impressive. I like that the UFC gave some recognition to the guys who have the highest percentage of putting on a fight the PPV buyers will be happy with rather than just going with the names people know.
