You gotta be retarded to think BJ achieved mroe this month than rivera. Rivera made a huge comback over a heavy favorite, and not just beat him, severly punished him.

i actually thought rivera would win this... kendal cant really hang with bigger guys who have decent stand up and clinch. his ground game is awesome (doesnt have good enough wrestling yet though) and i still like him but i just think he got really over hyped during tuf. rivera went the distance with rich back in the day.. and ok he got knocked out by leben but kendal isnt as good as leben standing and hasnt faced as good competition, at least not yet.

imo stevenson was the strongest competition either that or maybe gabe, but bj beat stevenson in a much more impressive fashion in my eyes.

All of you guys don't make sense that picked BJ. BJ should have won that fight he was a 3:1 favorite, same with many of the other fighter on there. I would have to give it Rivera as a huge underdog and complete domination and first round stoppage. Honorable mention to Paul Kelly for also beating a tough opponent, but can't get a vote do to the win by decision, he was a 3:1 underdog.

bj was a heavy favorite but still he did exactly what he was suppose to do and i was impressive.

nate diaz also did really nice and so did cote. im adding cote to my favorite fighters list now. ive always liked him.

after tavares last fight i dont know how much longer hell be on my favorites list.

i guess ill pick cote just because he finished a tough mother fucker in the first round by tko.

i cant stand penn by he takes it hands down. he beat joe daddy and became, not sure but i think, the second person ever to win a title in two weight classes. love him or hate him thats impressive

I picked Cote. I thought he was done in the UFC, even when he performed well on TUF, and got to the finals. Now w/ 3 straight wins and two stops against legit compitition I think he has to be in the disscussion for a title shot sometime soon. Not sure if I was supposed to factor that in, but Cote did look very good against Mcfedries who is no joke.

The poll results do not surprise me in the least lol.

I expected a few more votes for Werdum though
