Rampage and Rogerio Nogueira might have something to say about that.

What does Davis's goofy ass know about striking? Gustafsson does not have the best boxing at 205.

I'd love to see Gustaffson vs Rogerio to settle this debate.

That would be a great fight. Does Rogerio already have something coming up?

Nothing official. I thought they'd reschedule the Rich Franklin fight, but that looks increasingly unlikely.

I think Davis is on to something. I know that they train together now so obvi. that has something to do with it, but when including the takedown because this is MMA I would lean with Gust over Nog.

I don't think Gustaffson would be able to take Nogueira down. Bader and Davis are both elite wrestlers and they both struggled to get Nogueira down.

@ min, i didnt mean it that he could take Nog down, but I do believe he has better TDD. Its hard to explain, but I wouldnt know who to give the advantage in fight against the two of them because i wouldnt see either of them going for a takedown. matching up against others in the division because imo. having better TDD makes him the better striker.

Interesting. Not sure if I agree though. I think Gustaffson could win the fight, but I'd pick Nog.

Oh I would def. take Nog too but in regards to MMA striking, I think Gusat gets the advantage. Just like Mir says in the HW division Cain has the best MMA striking all because of his wrestling and how well he can set it up. Now I know either Nog or Gusta have good wrestling but like I said with the TDD it would keep people guessing more.

No way does he have the best boxing at 205. he looked very sloppy and got tagged in the first round by Hammill a few times.. I think nog has better boxing.

He does have very good stand-up and uses his height to his advantage which is good...best boxing at 205 though...i don't think so. You got guys like Rampage, Rashad, Maldonado, Rogerio, etc.

Get ready to get mad guys, but I think Matyushenko's boxing is a whole league above Nog's.
