No. I'll do you one better. He WAS overhyped then. He was still an excellent fighter with a great pedigree but people were saying "best of all-time" then and it wasn't warranted.
I second the sentiment that YPOV should post more.
I also agree with what he said. Maaaayyybe BJ was overhyped circa /GSP 1 and /Hughes 2 but I really don't think you can say that now. I'd go so far as to say that if he beats GSP for the WW title then he automatically jumps up to one of the best of all-time no matter what he does for the rest of his career.
Gomi was the #1 LW in the world at the time of their bout and BJ just steamrolled him.
Lindland/Belfort at this card for some type of middleweight title. Can't be WAMMA or that would be a farce. Fedor makes sense because he's #1 heavyweight but no one but Anderson Silva could be the WAMMA middleweight champion.
Either way...
Fedor/Arlovski or Arlovski/Barnett
Tito/Babalu
Lindland/Belfort
Another buy out of me.

Gaby isn't considered one of the top arms in the system but he's young and will most likely make the major leagues in some capacity.
Eh. Fringe contending can have its detriments. 2009 was supposed to be the year.
Rampage criticized his behavior on the show and after Quentin's little incident they asked Jesse his opinion and he said something to the effect of "what goes around comes around". Apparently that made Dana furious.
Jess Taylor was released by the UFC... his comments about Rampage were what most likely sent him out the door.
And Roger Huerta is speaking out against the UFC and the payscale in the (excellent as always) FIGHT! Magazine cover story. I've probably mentioned it 5-7 times in this forum already but everyone here should subscribe to this magazine. I read it cover to cover every month and they always have oustanding work in there.
But if more and more people say they aren't making enough... what's Dana going to do? Fire everyone?
No way! Football season is right around the corner man..we couldn't be any fuckin happier.
Hilarious.
And while everyone is focusing on Manny Ramirez - Ken Griffey Jr. got traded to the White Sox... pending his approval, of course.
You were just very recently "single for far too long now" and you're already talking about getting married? What the fuck is wrong with you? You're like a male version of a desperate clingy woman.
Jayson Stark saying that the Sox/Marlins deal is dead and Will Carroll is saying it's been sent to the commissioner for approval. Who knows.
What I do know is that the Marlins just won their series with the Mets to move 1 back of them but most likely 1.5 back of the new division leading Phillies.
If it's Willingham then get it done even if it's not exactly what the Marlins need.
If it's Hermida then I don't like it. Manny doesn't solve the Marlins problems and it's not worth Hermida.
