Does anyone know why he has not fought in the UFC since he knocked out Goulet in 11 seconds at UFN 3 last year. he stated after the fight that he wanted to fight again in the UFc but, he has not since. I really like his style, and would figure that the UFC would jump in him as a fighter. any info would be appresiated. . . .

UFC made an offer, but Strikeforce came with an offer to pay him nearly twice as much per fight.

170 is so deep in the UFC that he would be better off at 155, which is what he fought at at strikeforce, he has lost his last two fights but they were against the best, so nothing to be ashamed of.

"Bang" is one of my favorite fighters. He most recently fought Josh Thompson at Strikeforce and lost via submission. Prior to that he lost to Tyson Griffin.

I wish the UFC would sign him. He's an awesome striker, probably the best 155 lb. striker in the world. If he could improve his TDD he would be a force to be reckoned with.

I would really like to see him fight Melvin Guillard, so everyone could see what a real striker is.
