Yeah I've seen him fight a couple times, he was impressive. Good size/athleticism, excellent wrestling credentials.

UFC has a few new HW prospects with strong wrestling backgrounds, Velasquez, Lesnar and Shane Carwin.

I don't know? That's why I'm throwing it out there to see if anyone knows anything about him. Sounds like he has a good wrestling pedigree. It'll be interesting to see how he does at UFC 83.

Interesting stuff, the guy is pretty big. The UFC also signed this guy who has also been making some waves...

Sounds like things will get a little more interesting by the time 2008 is over.
