    Agreed on both counts but the Varner fight was tough to watch.

    it was amazing. I thought Barao would steamroll him. It is definitely one of the most lopsided beatings to a Top P4P champion by a virtual nobody that I can recall.

    cormier tossed henderson around like he was a welterweight. DC is a huuuge light heavy and basically looks like a heavy once he gets in the cage. if he can get jones to the ground, i think he stands a pretty darn good chance at winning. i'd make him a strong favorite over everyone else at light heavy.

    Cormier was impressive but the performance versus Henderson isn't a great barometer. Henderson couldn't even bulk up enough to weigh more than 199 pounds without TRT. Cormier probably outweighed him by 30+ on fight night.

    It's literally like Sonnen tossing around Maynard or Eddie Alvarez.

    Lawler is fighting Matt Brown on Fox in July. Awesome fight.

    So basically if you win too much they call you a cheater and kick you out?

    How do you prove someone is counting?

    Im not too sure how they can prove it or even if they have to. But they have the choice to kick you out if they want.

    I can't imagine a scenario where that fight isn't crowd pleasing.

    Brown has a solid chin but he's been badly hurt by body shots in his last 2 fights. If Lawler hurts him, he will finish him.

    But make no mistake, this is the same Lawler that was knocked senseless by a Nick Diaz jab. He has a tough but to crack in Matt Briwn.
