Thats good to hear, these fighters are jumping into the ufc too early, they should worry about gradually building on their experience, like boxers do. They seem to usually beat a whole bunch of cans then get thrown into the big leagues, and thats hurting alot of people with potential. Robbie lawler seems like a good example of this, great potential but fought too many cans before fighting top competition. Now he is where he belongs and in a couple of years will be high on the rankings and ready for the majors again.

i dunno what it is, but with the exception of GSP, Garcia (and Jardine on occasion) i cant stand anyone from Jackson's camp. seeing Ninja crush Villasenor was a pleasure and seeing Smith do the same would be superb! i thought that Fukuda got f'd in that fight as well...but thats just my opinion.

but if shields ends up in WEC or Faber in Elite... you heard it hear first... | What the hell are you babbling about? I was pretty convinced you knew nothing about MMA before, but now I you have completely convinced me.
Why would a 145 pound Faber be fighting a 170 pound Sheilds?
And why do you keep bringing up the IFL as if it is even slightly comparable to Elite?
