Brilz has better skills than this...getting KO'd quick in 2 straight fights.  I'm not sure how dedicated he's been lately.

I think they'll hold onto Brilz for another fight as a test for someone. He's still looked at as a credible opponent, I think, and light heavyweight doesn't have that many of those.

Bader is so nasty, can't wait to see him back.  One would assume that it will be soon.

Its very likely Brilz gets cut. In his last two fights he has been KOd in under a minute.


EDIT: 1:17 with Bader but still having two fights end in KO that quick should result in a cut.

this was the hardest fight to decide. i went with kingsbury b/c he is younger and a better athlete but i would not be surprised if bonnar took his usual punishmnet and won this.

@mike the UFC doesn't do it by that kind of definition.  again I think they keep Brilz around for another.

Good to see Bader back on the winning track. He really is a nasty fighter.

@Gregory . You may be right, since his loss to Nog is still considered by many a fight that should have went to Brilz. So I wont be shocked if he stays for one more fight.

Brilz should probably be cut. The biggest feather in his hat is looking good losing to Lil Nog. Even since then Lil Nog is 0-2 as well. He's 1-4 in his last 5, UFC may not be the best place for him right now.
