Yeah fighting Clay Guida must be like punching a tree trunk for 15 minutes. The thing about him is no matter how much punishment he takes, I still never feel like he really poses huge threats--especially not to a competent guy like Florian.

I'm not saying he isn't an exciting fighter or that he's someone I want to see cut (far from it) but can anyone say they expect him to outstrike Florian? And with Florian's BJJ game, will he be upset when Guida makes it a ground fight?

I don't think he has much of a chance...but he puts on a good fight and never gives up.

Just in case you have trouble taking Diego Sanchez seriously, I found this:

I like the shot of him meditating. Was it hard to clear your mind, Diego? LOL

People complain about Dana White and some complain about M-1 and why Fedor hasn't been signed by the UFC and every now and then info comes out that shows I wouldn't sign the #1 HW either. The M-1 fighter Mousasi has in his Strikeforce contract that he does not fight on any card that does not feature Fedor. WTF! So before the match makers can even ponder a matchup between Hendo and Mousasi you must first know if Fedor is excepting a fight.
