Evan-dunham-ufc-119

Evan Dunham has been forced out of his UFC 132 fight against George Sotiropoulos due to an undisclosed injury, according to MMAWeekly.com.

"Sots" is expected to get a new opponent for the "Cruz vs. Faber 2" show on July 2 in Las Vegas and according to a report from ESPN, it just might be Brazilian submission ace Rafael dos Anjos. Thoughts?

ooooohhh how relevant....

But seriously think G Sot’s couldnt get worse when he can stand with Siver – Look at the last two “boxers” that Siver beat – he lasted with him which is much better than some considering the fight was all standup

G Sot’s boxing did quite fine against the likes of pellegrino and stevenson and i would consider that sot would stand with a grappler and knock them out

i really dont

Joe Lauzon is mainly a grappler and he pretty exposed Sot on the feet. G-sot is a amazing grappler but his stand up is really lacking.

you dont see him standing with stand up guys?
may sound funny but i smell KO

and this ^ defenitely not, maybe you meant groungame guys instead of stand up.

by robinhorobson on May 4, 2011 7:14 AM EDT up reply actions  

Sot's striking is decent but he isn't a power puncher and his defence isn't the best

He can beat other grapplers on the feet but with BJJ as good as his I expect him to have a much easier time on the ground, even against another ground specialist. His wrestling needs to improve a lot though, against Siver his takedown attempts were very poor.

Shame that this fight has been cancelled as I’d wanted to see Sot and Evan fight for a while. Have him face Dos Anjos or Bocek next, Smooth Ben should be fighting another guy coming off a win though I’d like to see him and Sot fight at some point in the future.

yeah i agree

when i asked him about his takedowns against Siver he got a bit annoyed – didnt want to elaborate on that much but he does have a wrestling record – check it out on his site – and he has focussed on wrestling in the past – i honestly think he didnt want to put everything into his takedowns against siver because he knew there was a chance he would get caught with a hook or knee

His best chance to get it to the ground was when siver knocked him down first round but then siver was much smarter than that!

well Siver aint groungame and he lost but he stood and banged with him - for someone who most going into that fight thought he would get ktfo standing with him they were surprised -

Im not deluded but i do think his boxing is better than people suggest – and when i suggested smelling ko i was talking about dos anjos not against good standup guys – i just meant he can hold his own pretty well with good standup guys

Bring Varner back to fill in so Sots can pound him

by axemurderer138 on May 3, 2011 7:23 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

I don’t think that’s the best matchup for sots. Doesn’t have the best takedowns and I believe Varner would perform better on the feet.

making it that much harder for sots to do anything really to him. Again i believe Varner to be the better striker. He’ll sit back counter strike and avoid the takedowns UD

I must say really disappointing news

But to me as long as they keep it to someone with slick ground skills then no worries for Sots – He will continue on with his camp as if nothing has changed

It's the best thing that could happen...

Dunham is coming off 2 losses, I don’t want to see him lose a 3rd time….I don’t want to see G Sot lose again either…..that fight would eliminate one legitimate contender….glad they will not be facing off

by Starr788 on May 3, 2011 9:37 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

yeah it is a good way to look at it -

but if you look at who they lost to – they both lost to top lightweights – sherk, guillard and Siver – I think it’s only fitting to eliminate a contender to an extent.

How else are we going to recognise the true contendors? they have to face off….

But yeah this one was going to be a tough one for both

The Sherk win was very questionable

And it cost me a nice payout, stupid judges ruining my parlay.
