Did I miss something?

What the hell has CB done to earn all this nuthuggery he's receiving. He's a young guy with strength. Nothing new. Does he have a bunch of wins under his belt or something? Does he have a great highlight reel out there that I missed.

Enlighten a brother.

he's 6-0 with 5 wins by ko. he's fought for hdnet fights. he has a highlight reel on youtube if you want to look it up. he was a national juco champion in wrestling and a 2 time all american at asu. basically he's a wrestler who finishes fights, has excellent standup, and trains with a really good relatively unknown team.

Let's see a few more fights first. Also, some of the guys are still pretty young. But up to now I would agree. I haven't seen anyone look particularly great. Crueder maybe, his standup didn't look great but Riddle apparently is a tough kid.

Credeur's stand up was fine. It was great until the end. He isn't a natural striker but at the beginning of the first he had AWESOME striking defence. Watch the fight again. He got caught in a sloppy clinch and that was when he was gassed. That is where the real problem is.

Tim not having the energy to stand up to have his hand raised at the end of the SECOND round is a bad bad omen. AFAIK that is the first time he has actually HAD a second round ever.

He's basically a poor man's Dan Henderson ... a decorated wrestler who likes to finish fights by knocking fools out.
