Rumble looks like a legitimate LHW...  He's lucky yoshida accepted the fight... |

He's already a HUGE welterweright. I honestly don't see the harm in moving up to 185.

I would LOVE to see "Rumble" vs. GSP at some point. I actually believe "Rumble" could take him.

I think he would put up a tougher fight than Thiago Alves did, that's for sure. Also, "Rumble" has vicious punching power and all it takes is one clean shot to drop someone and if he landed one on GSP, I think it could drop him. I mean, if Matt Serra beat GSP, then I believe Anthony Johnson would stand a very good chance as well. It would be a very interesting fight to see and I, for one, would love to see it. |

Rumble vs. GSP would be "the battle for the weirdest abs in MMA.'

Lets see Rumble at MW or even LHW against someone like Alan Belcher or Reese Andy and see how he does. He shouldn't be cutting 50lbs to fight.

I love Rumble. I think 170 is a great spot for him. But Ive said it before and Ill say it now. He cant beat GSP right NOW. If he continues to progress from where he is now as fast as he has been I think one day he has potential to be on GSPs level. He is one of the best up and coming young guns in the UFC!

Alves had great punching power too, and still couldn't hit GSP.
Anyway, I wouldn't put it past Yoshida to actually win this fight quickly due to Johnson looking so damn tired just WEIGHING IN. |

176 is a joke though. Rumble needs to go to MW.

This is his first fight back from the injury, so I guess he is having trouble. Maybe he'll do better next time.

If rumble catches yoshida with one of those right hooks or kicks he'll be out, probably worse then what koscheck did to him. However I don't think yoshida will exchange with him He'll probably grapple rumble to fence and try to take him down with his judo.. Yoshida's camp wanted this fight. They believe after the first 3 minutes Yoshidas will win this fight. And after watching Rumble at the weigh in, I believe they are right. Considering they accepted to fight rumble at 176.. |
