He is the future champion...Hendricks will never even reach him. His kicks keep the distance. He is a master of range. I can see him beating GSP standing also without getting taken down. IT WONT BE LONG...
He won't get a title shot if he keeps fighting like he did Saturday night.
He fought brilliantly.....Got hit less than fifteen times.
Although he gets a lot of hate he neutralised bj and jake in an impressive way. I hope he gets the confidence to go for finises more like mighty mouse did. 
His style was a poor man's GSP style, so no. Rory's very skilled, but his skill level has not yet reached GSP's level, let alone surpassed it. Maybe in a few years. 
For the record, I am one of the 8 MMA fans out there who didn't have a problem with the way Rory vs Jake went down.
He's incredibly talented. He's the first person that Jake hasn't beat or badly hurt in the UFC.
Brasco - He fought brilliantly.....Got hit less than fifteen times.
I suspect that Dana does not think that Rory fought brilliantly.
I don't know man... I think GSP might be the best at 170.
Wes_Mantooth -Brasco - He fought brilliantly.....Got hit less than fifteen times.
I suspect that Dana does not think that Rory fought brilliantly.
You are only rewarded by winning. Who really cares what Dana thinks?
The UFC & Unified Rules have taught fighters that you have to play to win so that is what is happening. When the UFC & Rule System award fighters for going balls out then fighters will fight like that.
It would not have benefited Rory to be aggressive and get caught like Weidman/Silva.
Rory will become champion after GSP retires.
Rory is the best at 170lbs***
I agree with he'll be champ if gsp retires, but no way in hell could he beat GSP now or in the next 5 years
^^ in for sparring vids of rory vs gsp please.
I think condit will always be ahead of him. Only way rory wins is with td's and laying.
Rory is good but i think GSP can take him down at will.
he still lost to condit so there is 1 matchup i could bare to watch, and i think the new Ruthless Robbie 2.0 would knock him out
Rory N Ricci s Third Wheel -Judging by your name and comment, I'm guessing that you have? Give us the scoop!MMARAIDER - I agree with he'll be champ if gsp retires, but no way in hell could he beat GSP now or in the next 5 yearsHave you watched them at Tristar? I think it's a toss-up.
People said Hendricks wouldn't hit Condit and he hit Condit more than a couple of times...only difference is Rory doesn't have the chin Condit does
GSP
Condit
Hendricks
and probably Maia are better than him right now
Needs to get even better TDD, Ellenberge could have stolen the last round with effective GNP because he got him down, he was gassed so it was moot but he needs to have better TDD so he can avoid any sort of round stealing attempts via takedowns becauseone Judge rewarded Ellenberger for it without the GNP
