i agree. he had a great fight with the always tough kyle kingsbury. i think he broke kingsbu's eye socket. rosa is not as tough.

I thought Rosa was a legit HW when he fought Beltran and Maldonado is a MW...this could be interesting!

I really like Maldonado and consider that last fight a robbery. He should dispose of Rosa rather quickly without his body armor. Maldonado has the best bodyshots in the game.

Until the judges get more educated on scoring "fights" and not take downs... strikers that are winning 80 percent of a fight are always going to lose the UD if they are taken down every round.. even if barely any damage was taken. I agree though.. Fabio should look........... fabulous..lol. KO!

I never thought rosa was a ufc quality fighter, hes more suited for small local shows. I think fabio is gonna run through him.

Yeah, I was shocked to hear that Rosa was taking a fight at 205. He looked gigantic against Beltran.

Maldonado SHOULD be a middleweight, but he fights at light-heavyweight. I'll be betting on him anyway.

@kalibo, great post. Maldonado ****** Kingsbury up! Not only that but he destroyed him on the ground, threatened with so many subs and swept him.

I scored Kingsbury winning that fight. Sorry guys! Gotta use the scoring system! Just ask Diego Sanchez. =/

I also had Kingsbu winning a close close fight. But....Fabio should absolutely destroy Aaron Rosa. First round TKO from body shots.

I also think maldonado should win this handily but I would really like to see maldonado try dropping to 185. i think he could be a top 5 guy in the mw division and i dont think he can at lhw.

Is Rosa dropping down to 205, where is the proof of this?
