I can't believe he was 11 for 11 in takedowns.

BJ needs to actually win some fights at WW before he gets a shot at the belt again. Personally I'd like to see BJ fight Hughes for a third time. Assuming he beats Hughes (and if he cant then he needs to stay at LW) he needs to beat a top contender like Fitch or Alves. If he can beat one of those two then he deserves another shot.

Also I really hope we get to see Carwin test Brock's chin. That's still a big question mark for me in regards to Brock.
I think you're taking my peak statement as meaning he's about to come down. It's probably not going to happen soon, but all it's going to take is someone with Hardy's power with the added element of knowing how to sprawl or do something on the ground and GSP will have a real fight for once. The fact that GSP couldn't submit hardy after taking him down so easily, and that Hardy sucks on the ground shows that either GSP is peaking and will slip soon, or that he was just toying with Hardy. It's hard to say, but just like everyone thought Hughes would never be destroyed as easily as he has been at times, GSP will eventually find his kryptonite.

Perhaps GSP is the best fighter ever in his weight class.. would anyone say that about BJ? I can't stand the mouth on BJ, but when it comes to 155, he's lethal and frankly, one of the best I've ever watched. I think BJ's main problem in WW is that he only goes up to WW to fight GSP or Hughes and doesn't really spend time allowing himself to adjust to the weight fluctuation. It would take him more than the training time for one fight to really get used to his body like that.

Maybe we'll eventually say that GSP is the best ever in his weight class and BJ is the best in his natural class, but it would be nice to see BJ beat GSP once so we can at least have two more fights to look forward too.

Also, yeah, I'd love to see Carwin rock the fuck out of Lesnar.
