@Thiago

I think Cerrone is a great fighter.. but he will never be a top guy.

What makes you think he won't?  He has all the skill set and potential in the world to be a top10 fighter and a champ.  Matter of fact, I thought he won the Varner fight and the 1st Bendo fight.

Since ufcchick favors her boy Cerrone. I'll side with Charles.       :)

@Kalibo.. I just really dont think he could give the top 10 guys like Edgar Maynard Guida Siver and Guillard trouble i just dont see it happening.

The guy has the skillset to give anyone at 155 trouble.  How many of us picked Brenneman to upset Story?  Probably a few, but it's too difficult to put a blanket statement out there that Cerrone couldn't give the top guys trouble.

i didn't mean he couldn't give them trouble in the fight sorry i just meant i dont think he could beat anyone in top 10 just my opinion! 4% picked Brennaman by the way ha.

@Kalibo
He lost both fights against Hendo without question in my opinion. Varner was over the hill in both fights he had with him, and he has not fought anyone of relevance other then those two men. I think he will get destroyed against some of the better fighters in the division. He is fun to watch, exciting, but so are guys like Stephen Bonnar.

While I don't think Cerrone will be a champion, I do think he has the potential to become a contender, which is higher then a gatekeeper.

Also I don't think Varner is over the hill. And of course Cerrone lost the second fight to Bendo. Unless judges are now against gullotine chokes.

The first Bendo fight was razor thin, you can't honestly say he lost without question. Sherdog actually scored it 48-46 Cerrone. Any other fighter would have been submitted in that fight, Bendo is just a freak. Cerrone is still young and learning and would not be an easy fight for anyone. Iron chin, very very good groundgame, and good technical striking with great kicks and cardio. He's not top 5 yet but I think he'll get there. Oliveira is a tough test though and he will soon be a contender.

im completely shocked many of you dont think cerrone will be a top lightweight. he has a sick record with his only loss coming in questionable against bendo the first time.
