the WEC should go after jorge. i know he is with bodog but when he gets a chance i'd love to see him fighting in the LW division agasint rob. and if he can make 145 it would an awesome matchup with faber or possibly jens (said he wanted to go to 145). the wec its already great IMO and would just get better.
i also think that diaz might end up in the WEC. jorge/diaz would be good. hell pretty much anyone vs jorge is going to be a good fight, hominick, curran, there are endless possibilities.
45 may be a little too small for him but him vs Rob would be sick
Jorge who?
masvidal. sorry i figured ppl would just assume that because of the new ray fight.
I would rather see a Razor Pulver fight or even a Razor Karalexis fight (he will stand in the pocket and trade).
karalexis did look improved greatly last night
Do you think? I thought he fought a very bad fight. His eye got swollen shut and he didnt finish that kid off. I think he is a lot better then he looked last night. While he should good head movement early, he never landed that big right. Quite frankly I though he won 29-28, but if you factor in that one point deduct with 5 seconds left, I agree with the one judge that scored it 28-28. He got lucky. Taking nothing away from him, he is a pretty tough guy and is one of very few guys with the balls to stand with Razor.
HBPunk, it is not because he ducked anyone... maybe the other way around. Oh and that is inaccurate as Punk Thompsons Idaho fights are not listed and he has been fighting there for years. He is something like 20-0 in Idaho.
i'd like to see a razor/karalexis fight...but i think rob stops him by the 2nd round. his striking is just too crisp for karalexis. alex comes in too wide and would be able to stop the leg kicks.
yeah, kenp i havent seen alex fight since whatever season he was on. i was just suprised he had a ground game period.
KenP: Jens/Rob? Are you trying to get your boy killed?
Haulport, Razor and I would LOVE a Jens fight.
HBPunk, the fight of which you speak was the Ken Alexander fight that went into triple OT. It is on his record as one of his three losses. Alexander turned out to be a decorated wrestler and it was one of Razors first fights, before he developed a ground game. Everyone of his losses is reported. Nice of you to notice the abundance of strippers that come see him fight.
Razor is the WEC 155 champ. Why havent we gotten top level competation? They havent offered it up to us, and the have paid very well for the opponents they have offered. They say it is not about the money... but "they" are lying. It is always about the money. Based on reported numbers I think Razor is the third highest paid guy in the WEC and makes 50% more then Faber to fight. This does not include signing bonuses or sponsors, and the only guy who gets more then Razor on my roster for sponsors is Baroni. Razor breaks the bank with sponsors, including monthly ones.
If Razor is making 50% MORE than Faber, more power to him. I can see that's he's marketable for the target audience, he's white and looks like a badass, it's great that he is raking in the money. Management has done a great job as far as match making with him.
With that said, I have to agree with a lot of what HBPunk says...I know he has been fed a lot of opponents, and I know he's gotten some hometown cooking in fights before. He's a dangerous fighter for most guys out there, but he really needs to fight some actual top competition and do so consistently.
He is talking about Masvidal not Gurgel. Gurgel gets beat by Masvidal and DESTROYED by Razor. Your judgement is clouded Cindy O.
Jorge just moved down to 155 from 170. Definitely too big for 145.
And Rob would kill Karalexis. One sided beatdown imo.
depends on Karalexis's gameplan
this is a troll, right? rob would KTFO jorge in seconds.
Masvidal is wayyy to big for 145. He's a huge 155 lb'er and recently has beat up some guys at 170.
i think razor beats a lot of these quality ufc guys but just hasn't been given the opportunity yet.
i think he beats gurgel, karalexis, hominick, etc. his striking is among the best at lightweight and his sprawl and sub defense are very good too. he has gotten better every fight.
some good matches for razor would be sam stout, jamie varner, Melvin Guillard, Roger Huerta, Rich Crunkilton.
