|  James Irvin
I am a pretty big fan of his, he sucks on the ground, but his standup is exciting as all hell. His fights are always entertaining. Anyone think he can do any damage at 205 if he works on his ground game?

He showed a lot of heart in that fight and his standup really wasn't too bad, both of them came to band and were pumped, which you could see by both of them being all over the place.....if he can get a ground game I could see him being a contender.

Irvin has a long way to go to be any kind of contender in that weight class. He has the athleticism without question, but his skills and conditioning need a lot of improvement. That fight was, well, not that impressive.

That guys got plenty of heart, he's striking is pretty sloppy and his ground game isn't that good. He'll keep improving and doing well, but I don't think he's championship material.

Can't see him winning against even the second tier of 205s. He has had a couple of highlight reel KOs but in both fights he was getting tooled before the knock out.

Sorry that Irwin dude just seems like another steriod tattooed dude with no talent. He got lucky that other guy was owning him and actually seemed much more skillful.

Irvin was terrible, he reminded me of the fighters in the early UFC days, he had no idea what the hell he was doing. He looked tough with all his muscles but quickly ran out of gas. That fight had two of the biggest slobs I have even seen in the UFC, I hope he never fights in the UFC again, he should fight at county fairs.

i hope neither of them ever fight in the UFC. they need a lot of time outside, trying to get better
that was by far the sloppiest fight i've ever seen
also the most hilarious
Ramirez's first move to try and get his hooks in, where he flailed around and fell? omg i laughed so hard at that
and all of Irvin's high kicks where he tripped and fell.
