Given his record and that performance against Castillo who's no slouch, Felder is solid prospect to keep an eye on.

Danny Castillo isn't a gatekeeper, he's a hall monitor, much below a gate keeper.

@grizzly, I agree, Castillo had nothing, no openings, nothing ... and that's a dude who had Barboza on ***** street, same Barboza people are starting to call a potential contender again.

@skelli, I don't think this was a case of a wrestler being in love with his boxing, every time he went in for a takedown he ate a knee or that beautiful right from the top ... he was left with nothing to do but strike with a dude who's 10 times the striker he is ... not a choice, imo.

I'd still take Castillo over a sop****re campaign anyday. Huge props for Felder, but this doesn't shake Castillo's top 25 gate keeping ability. 

Also side note, does anyone know where to watch LIVE play by play commentary for the fights? I'm not talking about occasionally updated ****. The BWW I was just at was completely packed.

Castillo is the same as he's always been. The guy who was murdered by Pettis in the WEC is basically the same guy who was just murdered by Felder.

Even though I picked and bet on Lombard in the tap wagering league, I think it would be hilarious if Burkman somehow beat him.

I hope Burkman wins. I picked Lombard, but people are way too high on Lombard.. for some reason. He's also way too high on himself.

I don't think Cormier has fought competition anywhere near the level of Jones. 

Heavyweights like Mir, Nelson, Silva and Barnett, or a 60 year old Hendo don't come close to giving Cormier an experience that prepares him for what Jones brings to the table.  

Jones on the other hand has fought guys like Sonnen, Evans, Rampage and Bader. Cormier may be better than any of those guys individually (I'm not so sure about Evans), but I don't think Cormier really brings anything to the table that Jones hasn't dealt with before.
