Well, hopefully his stand-up has improved from his last fight. If he eats that many punches from Sakara he's going to get put down in a hurry.

From what little I've seen of him so far, he has a great amount of talent and heart, but his technique leaves a little to be desired. He blocks punches with his face, kind of like Chris Leben, and we all know what happened to Leben when he decided to block punches with his face against Anderson Silva. Rosholt needs to utilize some head movement to avoid punches and round out his game. At this point in his career I see a lot of holes in his style that would cause him to lose by KO or UD, especially if he ever fights fighters like Silva, Cote, or Hendo.

He should kill Sakara

if by looking good you mean taking a beating then i guess so.
rosholt is a beast though and kept coming in that fight and got the win

Well if he's fighting Sakara, i'll root for him. Didn't sakara just lie down and let leben hit him in the face, and that got up and complained about the stoppage? i never understood that guy, i don't think he's very good.

Good wrestler, but his stand up is seriously terrible. Osterneck (who?) was really lighting him up on the feet in his last fight, and Osterneck is a BJJ guy. He seems tough though and has a lot of potential.

Jakes tough as nails but gets hit way too much. Looking forward too seeing how he has progressed when he fights Sakara.

Sure he is a powerhouse but his standup is fucking horrible if he thinks he is going to stand and trade punches with sakara he will get knocked the fuck out. So i am not jumping on the bandwagon he is to one dimentional ,and will be exposed with top compitition.
