    I think Gus overlooked Rumble. Looking ahead to JJ.

    I think its safe to say, at this point, that Anthony Johnson isn't the same fighter who lost to Rich Clementi way back when.

    Nice to see a guy rewarded for not engaging in absurd weight cuts. You watch Rumble now and it is obvious how insane it was for him to try to fight at 170.

    I think Gus got a little overrated when he almost beat jj. He matches up well with jj, but I think rumble is just better than Gus

    Akira Corassani halfheartedly retired via Facebook post following his loss to Sam "Eggplant" Sicilia this weekend.

    Rumble's striking game is scary good. It is awesome watching his redemption story and watching him put it all together. Jones better learn how to avoid getting hit, because Rumble will end his night early.

    Rumble is so good at cutting the cage off and still being in an advantageous striking positin. Jones is in for an animal he hasn't seen yet, IMO.

    I feel bad for Gus, but I think he overlooked Rumble. Getting TKO'd by AJ is nothing to be ashamed off.

    Hang them up Hendo.

    I want to see Bader fight better competition. He is on a good run right now, but we've already seen him get smoked by Jones. I think DC, Rumble, and Gus all beat him easily, too.

    DC - Gus is the match to make, but would not be surprised to see he UFC go with DC/Bader and Gus-??

    I think that is a good rebound fight for Gus. I think he takes it. I don't think Rashad would be able to get inside on Gus.

    This is what is crazy bout MMA -- If Gus and Jones rematch, I still think Gus gives him fits. If Gus and Rumble rematch, I think Rumble still has a very good chance at ending Gus' night. In the Jones-Rumble match, if Jones can get the takedown early, I think he'll be able to wear AJ down. If he can't, AJ's got a good chance at ending his night. Styles make fights.

    Cormier/Gustafsson isn't a fight I think I want at this point. Let them fight other guys first. No need to further bury one of the few contenders in that division.

    I agree that Gus/Evans and Cormier/Bader are sensible match-ups.

    I don't think the loser of Gus/Cormier would be buried. In fact, knowing DFW, they'll still only be 1 win away from a title shot.

    There are no reputable contenders at 205 behind the top 3 right now.
