Thats

Defiantly skull my friend yuck. I think Miguel was in control up to the 2nd takedown and then the cut really freaked him out, so he did what most anyone else would have done and panicked. I want to see him and Jorgenson mix it up

Nobody's perfect...well there was this one guy but we killed him.

I just saw it. I feel sorry for him and wish him a quick recovery but MMA is dangerous. You really need to be the aggressor some time and throw some jabs.

Benavidez looks really strong.

I was busy so I didn’t get to watch the event, but would you say Miguel’s time as a champion is over, Zak?

well, you don’t want to be to reactionary and say he is done or something way too definitive like that. But I will say that there are question marks where there were none before and we may not like the answer.

That’s exactly what I was thinking, but I’ll take it a step further and say that I don’t think Miguel will ever reclaim what he once had, namely his P4P ranking. For awhile he was getting recognition as #1 P4P, and that makes me think that either A.) within the last year the BW division got a whole lot more competitive, or B.) he was overhyped.

I wonder what Frank Mir has to say about this?
