At least Guida's decisions are exciting......
LMAO! That one made me spit out my water. Guida blanketing Nate and Clementi was exciting? What about the parts of the fight with Diego where he was just trying to hold him down and do nothing.
Face it, the only reason Diego/Guida was exciting was Diego actually fighting and Guida's superhuman chin. Guida's entire offense consists of laying on his opponent and holding them down to win a decision
True, but in Gray's defense lesser men would have tapped to the kimura last night. KO's are rare at LW anyway. So it's hoping for a TKO or sub. None of those guys have high level JJ that would allow them to finish guys routinely that way. So that leaves TKO's as being the most likely.
They all put on great fights against top guys though so i'm not complaining.

You do have a point about the kimura, but these guys train to be agile in these positions, in MMA a kimura seems to be more of a way to force a position change then a submission that works, in top level fights anyways. In 3 rounds thats all Gray had? Come on.

Id like to see some submission specialists like Aoki, Imanari and Kitaoka in the UFC. It would most likely proudce some boring fights but it also might get some finishes
