He's also said that when he trains at home, which is 99% of the time, he doesn't do crap all for his ground game. I like seeing him at 185 though, he's a little small for 205. Atleast at 185 he can muscle out of some takedowns, but at 205 it would be too easy.

Except maybe that Anderson guy. Could you guys imagine what would happen if they fought? I orgasmed just thinking about it. Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see.

I could be wrong though but i think thats what was said.

He didn't have an opponent to fight just recently at Evolution so he has to be in shape and injury free. Not to mention there's already been a lot of hype for this fight so it would be easy as pie to promote, and you'd be guaranteed KOotN, and FotN. I'm sure we'll find out around the 25th though.

Good deal. We didn't even have to wait long to see him in action. Who could the opponent be? Hmmmm. If it's Lashley he could be in trouble on the ground. If it's Walker.......well, nite nite Hersh. Of course Lashley is a HW, so that's probably out. Plus they wouldn't want to tarnish their new fighters just yet I bet. Walker is listed as a HW too though, so maybe it's neither of them. Could it end up being Dan Henderson? Both LHWs. Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see.
