Haha...agreed on all counts.

That guy had the fight wrapped up, but was stupid and rushed in with his hands down, and got caught by a desperation haymaker.

But I really agree with the whole sloppy striking thing. You hear all the arguments about how you have to worry about other things, but when you see a guy like Cro Cop or Anderson Silva destroying people with their relatively clean, effecient standup, you kinda have to wonder if its all just a bunch of bull.

Hopefully, with Pride coming successfully to America, the UFC will have to start paying premium wages to gain and keep some of the best in the sport. And the more fighters are getting paid, the more likely we are to finally get a top tier boxer to make the cross over.
