Just seen that Herschel walkers opponent has been named for December 4th, he's gonna have a real hard time fighting a K-1 legend in Ray Sefo

http://www.mmalinker.com/wiki/index.php/Strikeforce:_Henderson_vs._Babalu_2

Very nice looking card set up there as well, so disappointed when I saw Big foots fight originally announced, the headline was "Overeem vs Big foot in December"...******* Valentjin !!
 
And in some ****** news, Carwin's ulled out of the Big country fight cause of an injury.

Any ideas who this could open Nelson up to ?

I'm hoping Mir so we can see a rematch of their grappling

I really want to see big country pull his finger out and drop to 205, he could be a champ at 205.

He won't ever be a champ at HW.

I honestly dont think he could ever be arsed to drop weight :p

Pretty gutted Carwin is injured was looking forward to seeing him smash Nelson.

Also
WEC52 card has been finalised. Really looking forward to seeing Faber fight at bantamweight and Mizugaki is very good first opponent his only losses in WEC come against Torres (best 135 IMO) and Jorgensen which was a war and a close fight.
 
I think Nelson wouldn't have the same advantages he has at HW if he cut to 205. Top guys like Rashad, Shogun & Machida would take him out fairly comfortably.

I'm not too sure. He took three rounds of JDS thumping at him, he has a solid head on his shoulders. He is a black belt in BJJ and out whatever'd Frank Mir in a contest of some sort. He has knock out power as well.
 
I seriously LOL'd at the thought of Big Country making 205. The guy cuts to make 265, hows he supposed to drop around 60 lb's while being a "typical American"? :) PS: That guys chin, to his credit, is one of the best ive seen. He took some real punishment off JDS. I just hope Carwin can put him away.

What advantage does the belly give him ?

Not necessarily the belly, but he does use it to good effect in the top poisition i'll give him that :D

He is fairly fast at HW, making the drop down to LHW the guys are much sharper and i think would beat him to the punch every time. Also guys like Rashad and Bader would just take him down at will imo.

As for him outpointing Mir in a grappling contest, i really do think that people overestimate Mir's grappling in the grand scale of things.

His chin was made of pure rock that night, absolutely solid.

But he has been ko'd before, to be fair, to a near prime Arlovski so.. :p
