building busta back up 1st......
Any chance to see Bustamante fight is a thrill. The guy simply brings it. By some accounts, he is one of the best pound for pound fighters on the planet. Two of his three loses are against top 5 lightheavyweights, and those loses could have just a easily been wins. Considering that he is only a middleweight, that is damn impressive especially since those two guys are Chuck Liddell and Rampage. His only other loss is to Dan Henderson, who is in my opinion the best pound for pound in the world (no offense to BJ). And in that fight, the knockout was a chance occurence. The could have been a fight of epic proportions. If they fight again, look for a war. Oh year, the only other blemish on his record is a 40-minute draw against a 260 pound Tom Erickson. Was the match boring? Yes, but what are you going to do against a olympic caliber wrestler with a 80 pound weight advantage. I'm pretty sure you're not going to get a takedown. The guy is a soldier. He bring it regardless who his opponent is!!!

bustamante is amazing. definitely one of the best out there. but this matchup reeks of boredom. i think nakamura will avoid subs and make for a lay and pray fight.
busta has been my fav for 10 yrs. great technical game and brings it constantly. nice guy too.
Now this is a bullshit call...
The only boring fight I've seen Busta in was against Erickson, and that one was still somewhat interesting because of size disparity. I think this is actually a pretty interesting fight. Nakamura has improved quite a bit. I think Busta will catch him though
Obviously, Busta vs. Hendo would have been better, but I still think this is going to be a good fight.
BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! No Henderson!!!
I always enjoy watching Bustamante fight
