    Sakara is a high level striker. Well, boxer. Not so much complete striker.

    I was thinking the same thing, but just didn't think it was worth a debate, so I didn't mention it.

    Sakara has good boxing but he has a sketchy chin and doesn't have the tdd Rockhold has.. the tdd changes things a bit.. that being said, Rockhold hasn't fought the caliber wrestler Weidman is..

    I agree it's a lot closer than people think. I'll say Weidman wins by decision because he's more active form top/bottom and gets the better of the takedowns. Not seeing a finish here.

    Fjordoz, is that you? Reading through all the horse sh*t you posted is hilarious! If they ain't UFC they ain't no guud. Just like someone else pointed out, if that Jacare vs Herman fight were under the UFC banner would that make it a better win? I have said a lot of dumb things on here over the years but you and your words really make me sound like a genius!

    Why because I can see un objectively that the UFC fighters are better and even mid range UFC guys could dominate other promotions. You are trying to say that the talent in all other promotions even comes close to the UFC? I never said there are no good fighters in Bellator and SF just that its 1 or 2 fighters that could compete in the UFC. You're the genius so I can't wait to find out how UFC and any other show are even remotely similar in talent.

    What about the "mid range" UFC guys like Roger Huerta, Babalu, Seth Petruzelli and Josh Neer who fought outside the UFC and got tooled?

    I bet you were one of the guys saying "WEC lightweights stand no chance in the UFC"

    Cain fought in Strikeforce before the UFC also

    I still think "Jacare" beat Rockhold.

    Weidman via being better.

    Those aren't mid range fighters. Neer was I guess but he's not going anywhere and dominating that's for sure. I know SF has had a few good fighters over the years and what do they do as soon as possible? Go to the UFC. The talent is 99% in the UFC. All I said is UFC records were more impressive then a SF record because the fighters are much better. I'm in Phx and went to a few WEC events soI was well aware of the talent they had in 1 division, and where are they now?

    The WEC had talent in far more than one division.

    Cung Le 2-1 UFC
    Overeem 1-0
    Werdum 4-2
    Lavar Johnson 2-1
    Cain 8-1
    I could put up the losers from Strikeforce but why bother? Nick is fighting for the belt, I hate Shields, and just to go back in time, how did Chuck do when Dana was calling him the baddest LHW on the planet? Rampage knocked him the hell out! How can anyone assume that fighters are only born in the UFC? Most of them fight elsewhere before going to the UFC!!!!

    Am I the only one that's not convinced with Rockhold? I still never understood the nod he got over Sauza. Close fight, but I gave Sauza 4 rounds to 1. The fact that he was competitive proves he does have worth, but I need to see a lot more from him yet. Besides for the Sauza fights, his biggest wins over Kennedy and Jardine and that's just kind of "meh" to me.

    To answer the question, Weidman takes it.
  20. mma_guru333 Well-Known Member

    Agreed. I mean he's not bad, but not elite in any area. Jacare definitely should have won that fight, I had it 4 to 1 as well.
