read the aoki quote the other day

he would do well in the UFC, being favored and probably winning against everyone, except one.

BJ would maul him. it would not be close. BJ is a better grappler and a better boxer. Aoki would get KTFO.
and im not a Penn fan, but at LW, NO ONE in the world can beat him.

****it, why make Mousasi fight someone he will destroy?

I wanted to see him fight someone that could actually challenge him.

Soku just beat Bob Sapp in the Super Hulk tourney, he will have a busy end of the year,he will fight Mousasi first then fight Minowa at the finals of the Dream Super Hulk tourney.

Mousasi by 1st rd. Sub.

WoW WEC43 really dilivered Donald Cerrone vs. Ben Henderson

Henderson defeated Cerrone via unanimous decision (48-47, 48-47, 48-47).

That was a killer fight. Maybe fight of the Yr. I though Cerrone took it tho.
