Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2008 Eh, not really. Danzig has better wrestling then Diaz but his jitz isn't on that same level. He can likely take Neer down for three rounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2008 Ultimate Fight Night 17 Nick Catone vs Amir Sadollah Josh Neer vs Mac Danzig Hermes Franca vs Joe Lauzon There's conflicting reports that Nate Diaz vs Marcus Aurelio is going down here but I'm not so sure. Even though Aurelio was, at one point a world-ranked fighter but the dude is 2-3 in the UFC and has lost 2 in a row whereas Diaz is undefeated in the octagon. Feels like a step down even though it's really not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doubt that Lauzon will win... Hermes at this stage in the game will be too much for Lauzon. I hope Lauzon wins though, I'm a big fan of his. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lei Tong 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2008 I fail to see how Lauzon can beat Hermes. By being uber aggressive against a fighter's who's extremely tough to finish and has a knack for finding openings while on the defensive? It's especially unlikely considering Lauzon himself has only once ever gone the distance, in an exhibition fight to a less talented midget than Franca (v. Gamburyan)?

It's especially unlikely considering Lauzon himself has only once ever gone the distance, in an exhibition fight to a less talented midget than Franca (v. Gamburyan)? Yeah pretty much thats how I see it. Franca's Jiu Jitzu is worlds beyond anything Lauzon can bring to the table on the ground. I see Franca ripping off Lauzon's arm off on the ground. Standing up I see Franca KOing Lauzon. Lauzon might be able to outstrike Franca for a bit, but eventually Franca will catch Lauzon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HollywoodSpikeJenkins 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2008 Franca is just a big dude who will out muscle the smaller Lauzon, which sucks cause J-Lau is the man. I'm always hopeful for him to catch something off his back, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2008 I don't know why anyone would want to see Franca get his ass beat. The guy is super nice and charismatic and just very likable. More importantly, he's exciting to watch. He'll never be world champion or anything, but I am always interested to watch him fight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2008 I didn't either but I was playing along because I know a lot of people did, so if one did find it boring, he would hardly be at fault. Didn't see the Aurelio fight though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted December 18, 2008 Bit of a step down from JOB but I can see why they're giving him this fight because it's risky as this point in Cain's career to give him a bigger name what with him not having fought since July.

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted December 19, 2008 If somebody less-versed in submission defence like Gray Maynard can use his size and strength to control Clementi to a UD I see no reason why Tibeau can't do it too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mik 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2008 If Rosholt can't beat Sakara then he loses his blue chip prospect card. Immediately. With that said... Sakara isn't exactly the best opponent for a "zombie-fu" walk straight ahead without covering up fighter so Rosholt better have putten that Osterneck gameplan far behind him.
