thats a good point. i have heard that there are exercizes that one can do to improve the neck muscles which would supposedly improve ability to take a punch, tho. some dude tried telling me that there is some type of aparatus that you can buy for 5k that you strap on your jaw/head and it is kinda like electro treatment that stimulates that muscles, supposedly improving ones ability to take a punch. this is all hear say, tho.

or he could just play more to his strengths.

Seriously isn't it worse that Lutter has chosen his downfall.. A glass jaw isn't something you can fix. Poor cardio is evidence of poor choices in training.

Lutter doesn't deserve a spot at 185

Grove is fun to watch...Any Tito guy getting owned is good IMO

He's gone the distance before and I'm sure he will again for another promotion. Bottom line is, he's tapped Cote, Scott Smith, and Pele, and gave Anderson Silva his toughest fight to date. He doesn't suck and certainly doesn't deserve to be cut over Grove, who legitimately sucks.
I wouldn't exactly say he gave Silva his toughest fight to date. I think Silva put himself in that position because he said prior to his fight with Lutter that he was going to beat him by a triangle choke and made sure he did. I don't think his two losses in a row warrant him being cut, but the UFC has been doing a lot of this lately. Look at Obrien, one loss on his record to AA and he got cut too.

I could see Lutter doing very well if he hires a full time coach.
