BruteDion Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Who is it...who can be a champ...who will get exposed Success: I myself think it will be Jacare Souza...he's as close to the total package as one can get He will walk into the MW divison and will have the best Ground game period...I don't think any other SF fighter can say that...and his striking has got better by a lot...he's got power but I don't think he will beat top 10 guys based of his stand up alone...its is complete skill set with his amazing Jits that will get him his UFC wins Exposed: I'm torn between Luke Rockhold and Gegard Mousasi...I love Gegard but I don't see him getting close to a title shot at 205 dude to his size...i dont see him getting the fights to the ground against the bigger guys and strikers like Alexander just peppers him all day Rockhold is well rounded enough but I don't see not much special bout him...he's like a slightly better version of Tim Kennedy but just don't have that one skill that can't beat everyguy with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesterdays_Hero Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I can see Gegard getting exposed. He's very good but just doesn't seem to have the drive, size and probably wrestling ability to hang with most top guys. Jacare will have success due to the lack of depth at MW. Ed Herman is a solid guy in the UFC and Jacare ran through him. I think Weidman would give him fits though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruteDion Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Weidman will give anyone fits...and if he fights smart he can take silva into the late rounds...that's how skilled I think that kid is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimatefightingchamp Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Rockhold is like a Michael Bisping clone. Jacare is awesome but don't forget Roger Gracie is also coming so he won't have the title of best grappler in the division Daniel Cormier is obviously a boss and one of the best fighters in the world IMO. Amazing wrestler with very solid striking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruteDion Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 D.c flip pancake slam of josh barnett was insane ill give him that Roger is good aswell...I just think jacare TD skills are more tested and proven...roger could be just another BJJ ace who gets beat uo standing cuz he cant get it to the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaPhreshness Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I don't think any of them will go on to win a title in the UFC (unless it's an interim one or something), but I'm sure there'll be at least a few title shots to come out of it. Luke Rockhold won't get a shot if he's forced to earn it against any top MW. Bisping, Belfort, Weidman, Boetsch, Okami, or maybe even Philippou would take him out. I love to watch Roger Gracie and Ryan Couture fight, but I don't think they're destined for top 10. Melendez gets a title shot coming in just like Eddie Alvarez, but they're both getting beat down. Cormier might make an impact if he can make 205 fine, and I foresee a Josh Barnett/Minotauro Nogueira rubber match in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andersonfan Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 My money is on D.C. one of if not the best wrestlers in MMA and hes shown his standup isnt bad at all definately has power. I think hes top 10 heavy definately and he could possibly claim a title in the ufc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_o_R Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Jacare is awesome but don't forget Roger Gracie is also coming so he won't have the title of best grappler in the division Yeah, I was hoping Smith would beat him, he is an exciting fighter but the sub defense wasn't enough for Roger. Rogers jitz > Souza anyday. Souze is more well rounded though. Middleweight just got some good fighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
