I think he's great, but he's not a true heavy. $5 says when he meets one - (Sylvia, maybe Arlovski or Monson) he'll get his **** pushed in. He'll be one bad mofo at light heavy though.

Excellent interview.

The street argument is retarded. BJJ is so much overkill for the street that its ridiculous. Unless you're the idiot that picks a fight with the high school wrestling team, barring knife or gun play, the opponent shouldn't make it past double leg + ground and pound - Osiris -

Yeah. Personally I think he needs just a bit more experience before he goes after someone like Arlovski, who's had a ton of fights. If GSP had had a few more fights before he took on Hughes, he would have won the first time, and I can see a similar situation with Vera.

Bad wording on my part. I didn't mean to talk strictly about the weight, but having the size to hang with the top guys at heavy. I mean, Joe Riggs used to weigh more than big Tim does now - was he a true heavyweight? Hell no, he was a fat middleweight.

Maybe he is that badass and can hang with the top level big guys, but I wouldn't put my money on it. I'll pay to see him try though. :laughing5You can't make people smarter. You can expose them to information, but your responsibility stops there.
