|  Joachim Hansen is not a fan of Zuffa
Quote: |
“I just hope people understand that the problems [with Zuffa] weren’t about the money,” Hansen said. “It was about them treating me with honor and keeping their word. I would rather fight for free, then to bend down to them. My soul is not for sale.”

He would have a hard time in the UFC LW division anyway.

i doubt Zuffa is interested in Hansen after his last fight.

Hes still a top 10 LW but with BJ at LW ya.. he would never be champ, still.. hes an exciting fighter.. again a Top 10 LW.. and you cant go wrong with him in the mix at an already stacked LW division.. it would just make for more interesting fights.. I would much rather see Frankie Edgar vs Hansen then Frankie Edgar vs Fisher.. I would kill to see Griffin vs Hansen.. Guida vs Hansen rather then Guida vs Huerta.. I mean theres nothing wrong with adding more depth to a stacked division that can only be a good thing.

i honestly dont think hansen is a top 10 lw. he will get outwrestled by the wrestlers in the ufc and i think his stock would plumett.

and ya he would get outwrestled, but the only wrestler I really see being able to outgrapple him AT THIS POINT would be Griffin, Sherk, and Stevenson.. but you cant put Griffin in the Top 10 over him.. Sherk isnt in the Top 10 at the moment either, Stevenson is.. but again.. 10 LWs, Hansen is still in there.. hes slipping though I agree with that.. id still take him over Sherk due to style.. he'd most likely knock Sherk out.. but id probably take Griffin over him in a fight, maybe Stevenson, and Edgar in a few years will be better.. just not now.

i dunno if id put stevenson over him. stevenson is pretty overrated imo.
id put tyson, edgar, sherk, guida over him for the wrestlers
i think din thomas and kenny florian could possibly beat him.
tavares would have a good chance.
and those are just the top ufc fighters. theirs a hole stable of non ufc lws that would tool him as well.
imo hes just not a top 10 fighter. hes a great striker though.
and i agree fisher vs hansen would be a fuckin show

fact is, UFC has maybe one or two Top 10 LWs.. yet they have the deepest LW division in MMA, and I would throw Hansen in the mix with those guys.. the Tavares', Guida's, Griffin's etc.. all would be tough fights..
hes beaten JZ and Gomi not many UFC LWs have wins that big despite the timing of those wins.

I probably would take KenFlo over Hansen, which is fucked.
