has anyone any thoughts on any fighters commin up that they think are looking impreesive or like they could be contending for a title or even knockin a champ off his stool e.g gsp,sliva etc

i think check kongo is looking really good and cant wait for his next fight i can see him wearing the belt in the future

also he moves pretty fucken fast for a guy that weighs 240 pounds

I like Kenny Florian. I didnt like him at all in the beginning; but his last few fights he has impressed the hell out of me. I also like Joe Lauzon. I think when he ages a little bit, he will surprise some people. Another one that comes to mind is Thiago Alves. Also Swick at 170 looks interesting, and Justin Hazlett as well.

Thiago has improved a lot but watch him not make weight again against GSP and it will be a non title bout.He should cut his cycle of juice early so its easier to make weight.

Kongo is one big, fast fighter. He needs more ground game to make a name for himself.

I like Anderson Silva, Rashad Evans, K-Flo..

Until some one beats him its gotta be Anderson Silva he always finds a way to win,that being said Machida is also looking good. k-flo has the best ground game in mma i think.

I dont know about k-flo and being the best. I would put Maia and BJ at the top for sure. Hell, i'll go out on a limb and say Hazlet will be up there eventually. Kenny is good on the ground, but not top notch in my opinion.

I seen a vid today of Maia tapping out Gonzaga. lol......Gonzaga is a large man, and a black belt, and got tapped quick! As far as heavyweights go, Gonzaga owns all...then Mir and Noguera side by side, in my opinion.

i think that has alot to do with lesnars submission and take down defense.. if it has improved then we should see a good fight
