In a bunch of interviews I hear that he is amazing and his striking is crazy good but the fights I've seen him go at he gets destroyed everytime. So what do you people think, is he worth a crap?

I think he has the physical tools to be good but with that being said he is mentally weak and will never live up to his potential.

Agreed....I would have used a diffrent word than weak for his metality though.

I like to think he's a good fighter but sometimes he makes me scratch my head and wonder what the hell he is doing. Like was stated... he has the potential but he needs to step it up and live up to all that potential.

How far on the totem poll do you think he is? I think with his loss it should set him back a descent amount, and with diego do you guys think he has a chance against gsp?

His fight with Diego really didn't last long enough for us to tell if he had improved at all like he was being hyped up.

But he'll most likely always be a middle of the pack guy.

he was never real high on the totem (at least not by earning it) and GSP will destroy Diego IMO

[orion_damage]

i agree i like diego but i think he is kinda hyped a little too much, but he is humble which makes him pretty cool eitherway

I think that he will be out of the UFC, maybe they will move him to WEC.

As far as Diego vs. GSP, GSP all the way for 2 reasons:

1) Diego is afraid of GSP. A couple of months back Diego was talking smack saying how he wanted Hughes and how he thought that he felt he already was the champ, even if he had not yet attained the belt. After his fight with Riggs, he didn't seem that keen to make the same claim or call out the champ. Instead he decided that he was in no hurry to be champ.

2) GSP is the best fighter in the world, not named Fedor.

He has all the Tools. Great striking and great wrestling, plus he is one strong mofo. But its all mental with him and some of it for good reason. If I were him I would take a year off, relax, then come back and train with MFS or Team Quest. A team that will be able to help him get over that mental block that he has.
