Red Devil,

Okay, Renzo is 185. My point was that a weight difference between Renzo and BJ won't be a factor. I never compared Renzo to Matt Hughes, but Matt Hughes did beat Carlos Newton who Renzo lost to in his last fight. I know its ABC stuff, but at least you have a common opponent to compare styles and outcomes. Three of Renzo's students were decisioned by BJ. I don't see a sub happening. Both guys are too skilled in that area. If Marcelo Garcia couldn't sub Renzo, I don't see BJ doing it either. I think this fight will be decided on the feet. I think BJ has the edge there, but I hope Renzo proves me wrong. BJ has proven very difficult to takedown and has decent stand up skills. My head goes with BJ, but we can agree to disagree there. What weight are they fighting at? What is your academy's relationship with Gleason's? Has Renzo been training with them?

While all those fighters aren't in Rickson or Royce's weight class, that has never been an issue for either of them. Royce just subbed Akebono. That guy was huge! I think if the money was right, Royce would take a fight with those guys and do very well. Rickson says he may fight once or twice before he stops. He doesn't choose his opponents, but I think the Japanese market will demand that one of their fighters try to take on Rickson since he has subbed every Japanese fighter he's fought over there. Rickson has a different status over there and gets paid well above the other fighters when he competes. As good as Silva, Liddell, and Couture are, they don't have the same status in Japan.
