the mw division in all of mma is a mess right now. with franklin/hendo leaving the division its not unreasonable for the top 5/6 after anderson are fighting in 5 different orgs
Champ - Anderson
Mousassi - Dream
Marquardt - UFC
Santiago - WVR
Lindland - Affliction
Okami - UFC
Lawler - Pro Elite??
with those guys not fighting eachother and not in the highest profile org their accomplishments can get overshadowed. of any of the divisions - mw is the messiest right now.
Jorge Santiago
Gegard Mousasi
Robbie Lawler
Melvin Manhoef
Matt Lindland
Kazuo Masaki
Jacare Souza
i wish Anderson could fight a couple of them this year
anywhere to watch that fight online?
MW is definately spread out a lot, tohugh LW is more divided.
Considering the UFC doesnt want to match Anderson with Okami for some reason its even more of a mess
Funny quote from Bloodyeblow today:
"Jorge Santiago has made a strong case that he's a top 10 middleweight."
I guess this win finally vaulted him into the established MW elite like Michael Bisping, Patrick Cote and Chael Sonnen
"Chris Leben KHTFO of the UFC to Japan where the competition is easier."
that fight was well over 2 years ago ... old news
