don't get me wrong I think he's an exciting fighter, but he has 4 losses in a row in the UFC against guys who haven't looked great recently (i.e. Diabate and Luiz Cane) and he is still getting a fight at UFC in Japan against Riki Fukuda.
people like to talk about Hardy sticking around after 4 losses in a row, but these are to the top guys in the division.
just a thought
military
He fought with real bad injury in Diabate fight,and didnt say
any thing about it. When you fight and your hurt Dana takes care of you.
Dana is the man and people dont see all the nice stuff he does
for fighters.
Cantwell has no business being in the UFC at this point time. It's only b/c of his backstory that he's still there.
It's weird, he's tough but he's actually a bad fighter... Unlike Hardy, most people have no idea who he is, he's a very lucky guy to still be around!
We train at the same striking and BJJ gyms. Trust me guys, Cantwell is a very good fighter. Just going though a rough patch losing decisions. He is young and growing
He beat Al-Hassan in UFC before the health stuff. Maybe because he was the last WEC lt heavy champ.
Probably to get Fukuda a win in Japan over a former WEC champ.
He loses to Fukuda he is cut.
He just CANTseemtodoWELL
chuckles1 - He just CANTseemtodoWELL
I see what you did there
Because he is a star.
Duh.

thanks for the insight Mike C.
as I said in my original post I think he's an exciting fighter and I'm gonna be cheering for him against Fukuda
He is very skilled, he doesn't have alot of experience in MMA. He is growing up in the UFC which is a hard task, but he has a black sash in Muay Thai and blackbelt in BJJ under very legit coaches.
Fight with Fukuda should be good.
Why do so many people concern themselves with who should be cut? Ridiculous.
sanno - He fought with real bad injury in Diabate fight,and didnt say

Keeping a guy who has gone 0 - 4 in his last 4 isn't nice.
It doesn't help the fighter.
Guys losing 4 in a row in the UFC NEED to go work on things.
they don't need to keep losing at the UFC level and disapear for good.
