If BJ fights GSP and wins then he should jump AS as the best PFP fighter.

185 in the UFC isnt that deep or good.

Not really, it's really more open fighting with less rules. They are very few rules, hitting a down a opponent in the back of head and holding on to the cage are really the only ones I can think of offhand. But any style of marital arts can be used from wresting to BBJ.

No way that Matt Hughes is better than BJ when BJ is motivated and has his head on straight.

Agreed. Much like Silva, BJ does things that make you scratch your head and wonder if you've had one too many beverages.

you bet. I'm thinking a repeat of GSP-Koscheck, nothing spectacular but a solid win nonetheless.

Herring and Lesnar could be a train wreck, and that'll be fun.

fight of the night will obviously be Florian-Huerta. I'm pulling for Huerta, but Florian is as solid as they come.

Huerta should win and so should GSP but Fitch SHOULD be tougher than people think.
It will be interesting to see how much Lesner has learned since he fought Mir. He is definately the stronger, meaner of the two. No one knows how his chin is though. Herring will come at him and hit him hard. All of that said, should be a win for Lesner. Word is that he has significantly improved his BJJ and also has worked on Mui Tai defense (mainly leg kick defense).
