I agree he is only gonna get better with time, but like I said he needs to face some real competition to see where he is really at as far as a overall fighter. with that being said I know there isnt a lot of competiton in lhw right now but with rampage and machidaand maybe eastman coming in that will pump some new life in the division.

Ya, Lambert has beaten eastman though and Rashad finished Lambert quicker then Tim Sylvia did.. and Lambert is a natural HW fighting Rashad whos a natural LHW.

we all know that kind of math doesnt work in this sport, thats like sayin that randleman beat crocop and liddell beat randleman so liddell would beat crocop, the only way to know is for them to fight

its not MMA Math its just an achievement, finishing a fighter thats much bigger then you faster then the HW Champ did is an achievement, and MMA Math is just an excuse for people.

Eh, MMA "math" doesn't work, but his point was that Rashad's faced a decent opponent. Beating a guy down faster than Tim Sylvia did doesn't mean he'd beat Tim Sylvia, but it's a noteworthy feat anyway,

we agree on that

Sean and Rashad have similar backgrounds, both being football players and wrestlers...true jocks so to speak.

I would argue that Rashad is the better wrestler though. Sean Salmon dropped out of college after his freshman year...he went 20-20 that year and couldn't hack the pressure of NCAA competition.

Rashad was a ranked NCAA wrestler while Salmon dropped out. Yeah Sean came back and tried to qualify at the Olympic trials and did good, but who knows if Rashad could do the same?

I think Sean is going to get ass whooped. Rashad has fought better competion in MMA, has trained with better, he totally owned a good guy in Lambert...Jason Lambert is very good folks, he is quality IMO.

Sean could give him some problems if this becomes a (OSU vs MSU) Wrestling Match...but I think Rashad will finish him via strikes, control and GnP.
