Im in class so I cant listen to it but what the hell does Bader and his overhand Bomb know about striking? Dont get me wrong, I like Bader, but I see him being like Rashad, boring his way to decisions for a while, and then his game will evolve, come into his own and start becoming a top fighter. But thats at the very least still 2 years away.

Diego’s striking however has come along nicely!

good thing you weren’t cause Diego beat Fitch.. It’s about winning the fight, not the wrestling match

Master Bader can learn a thing or two from Diego. Even before Diego had good stand-up he would still use his wrestling to get top position and get the GnP TKO or work for a choke, as opposed to humping his way to a decision like the rest of Bader’s Team Takedown buddies, Huggie Bear Guida, T. Griffin and others.

Griffin’s won fight of the night like 5 times… that guys not a boring fighter, might go to a lot of decisions, but he doesn’t put people to sleep.

Oh please . .. Tyson Griffin!?! Did he really deserve the Fight of the Night over the Kampmann-Condit fight??
Griffin is as exciting as his competition, very similar to Lyoto Machida in that respect, EXCEPT for the fact that Griffin has more decisions than Machida inside the Octagon.

Griffin’s best performances was against Guida, Edgar, and Tavares. The fight against Sherk was a sparring session that ended in a stalemate.

Give Ryan Bader a break he’s 9-0, fighting for 2+ years and ONLY 2 decisions on his record.

Im not sure if Diegos balls have finaly dropped or im getting soft in my old age but im starting to realy like this guy, Maybe its just the Yorkshire cap. Is there a group therapy I can go to “My names Panic and I’m a Diego Sanchez fan”
