No standup. Nate is to good on the ground to fall for that. He is not strong enough to get Hendo on Vitor to the ground, where his game is top notch. I still have Nate winning. Maia still wont win.

All thoes guys are great but really Maia is still getting better.

His striking is improving and it gets silly to see guys dropping weight the second they lose to try another division. If Maia comes out and goes 1-2 for his next three fights then yes itr would be a good idea to cut. But yes I think you are right about his body being better suited for 170 Edub.

Leaving the #1 spot for NATE THE GREAT (yes im still on his nutts. did you not see his last cover shoot lol). as for Maia that one still bothers me. to me all he is that guy who was losing to Kos then got a lucky punch and I know but imo it was a lucky punch. also the same guy who got flat lined in his last fight by well you know who " NATE THE GREAAAAAT" Maia stand up looks to suspect for me to think he can win the dream tourney good point dub. but lets not forget the only way Hendo fights for in MW is for the belt so he shouldnt be in the dream tourney.

I got Nate fighting Bisping just cuz of my own personal rankings in the UFC MW division. I just think Bisping gets slotted ahead of fighters like sexyama and Sonnen because of resume. Also if I put him at 8th hes gotta take on Hendo in the first round and that just happened soooooo I got him at 7th and Nate is my #2 behind Hendo so thats where the cards fell. I cant hate on Fans pick either. I think Maia will only continue to improve and will be aforce in the MW division for a long time unless he plans to drop to 170.

Like someone called me before im a "NATE THE GREAT NUTHUGGER" and imo he will destroy all of them. ok well maybe not all of them. the only one who can give him a go is Vitor and Anderson. the rest are just steping stones for him. Hey dub how come Nate the Great is fighting Bisping in your tourney?? by the way would be a great one. i would match up Bisping in the 8th seed since he is the worst of all of them thats crazy talk fan……..Maia???

Only thing that stops it is its a fight Vitor can lose. Also if Okami were to win it would most likely be by plodding decision. DIdnt even think about it Moosebaby that one sounds great to me.
