if pettis beats lauzon and bendo beats edgar i think there should be a pettis vs bendo 2
it was a great fight the first time around
any1 else agree?

i agree he should need another win but we all know how dana white wants money and pettis vs bendo 2 wuld sell more than bendo vs any1 else except maybe another fight with cerrone

hopefully he'll actually work his ground game now... he is with greg jackson there is no excuse for a fighter of his caliber to lose to lauzon

Had a hard time shuffling between Henderson, Alvarez, and Aoki in there.

He's on a 6 fight winning streak right now. Granted, not all of those wins were against the highest level of competition, but fighters like Razor Rob, Clementi, Beerbohm, Auerelio, Kawajiri, Hirota, Hansen, Shaolin, Alvarez, Uno, and JZ are not cans. Those are all solid, name fighters. Several of them were in the top ten, or top 15 at the time Aoki beat them.
He only has 3 losses in more than 6 years. He went 2 out of 3 against Hansen, submitting him twice. He got stopped at welterweight by a legend in Sakurai, who seems to have his number. The only other loss was a 5 round decision to Melendez.
I think his record holds up against most of the fighters people are listing in the top ten.

Aoki is top 5, IMO.
You can't rank Alvarez without ranking Aoki, Aoki schooled him.
