But if you want to ignore all that and pretend it didn't happen, that's fine. Rory's performance against Condit was easily more impressive than what Erick did with Brenneman, a much easier fighter.

@Burgess I want to see MacDonald against higher competition, and although BJ will prove a good test I expect Rory to win and face someone higher up in the Kos/Ellenberger range, and quick. A fight with Rory and Silva is the kind of fight that the UFC needs to make imo, it would be awesome. But I think MacDonald doesn't have the wow factor, and his only test so far has been Condit, who lost the rounds to Rory (who he outstruck, btw) not because he was inferior or dominated but because he didn't come out to the right tune/plan. In a rematch I would definitely pick Condit.

The facts were Rory was not defending himself. He was beat and you don't win a fight by winning 2.5 rounds and then getting KOed. Condit won because he had the resolve and steel balls to go out and show who the better fighter was in the third round. It wasn't even a fluke KO or anything.

Lots to sort out boys, lots to sort out.

UFC 152
Penn/MacDonald
UFC 153
Silva/Fitch
UFC 154
Condit/GSP
Hendricks/Kampmann
So why not the winners of the two fights at 154 then MacDonald/Silva for the number 1 contender if they both win?

Rory's a better fighter than Condit in my eyes, so that already makes him AT LEAST the 7th best fighter or so. Condit is not as good as everyone tends to say he is...Fitch would destroy him and it would be hilarious to see Condit fans running around like chickens with their heads cut off.
If Erick Silva beats Jon Fitch convincingly , he deserves the next title shot no doubt. Jon Fitch is the 2nd best welterweight on the planet, why SHOULDN'T Silva get the next shot? If he beats Fitch soundly, he's better than Hendricks and he's DEFINITELY better than Martin Kampmann, the man who people think could beat GSP when the dude can't beat GSP's ******* manslave. The man lost to Jake Shields and HE'S GONNA BEAT GSP? hahaha people are so stupid sometimes.
WAR FITCH *****, IDIOTS BETTER RECOGNIZE.

And no one will ever tell me that Russow is better than Duffee. Still think Duffee would be a top 10 HW if he came to the UFC.
He had the flukest knock out lost ever, and then got obliterated by Overeem but who wouldn't? Like maybe 2 guys in the world?

Rockz it happens I'm sorry, it is luck sometimes. The argument against this is that the person who landed the punch did what they were trying to do. Well if I am a basketball player and I hit a full court shot at the buzzer, even though that's what I was trying to do, it was still lucky as **** and not my skill, sometimes you get lucky and things fall into place. Same with a hail mary, just because it works, doesn't mean you should have won that game.

And I don't ben, I just don't think Boetsch is very good. He was dominated by Okami in those 1st 2 rounds, also people forget that Okami dominated Munoz as well and people seem to think he's so good.

If you don't think they exist, you're foolish. Remember the saying "anything can happen in MMA"? That pretty much says it right there.
