Amir really hasnt shown any weaknesses except takedown defense but his guard is more than adequate to make up for this! WAR AMIR!!!

It's too early in his career to say he'll be ablt to beat contenders next week. So, I think he'll slowly move up the ranks, improve his skill, and be a contender in a couple of years.

Who do you see him beating? I like the guy, and I'm glad he won, and I want him to do well in the UFC, but so many UFC fighters have much more experience and are fully tested by great fighters before they ever get through UFC doors. They get in with 6 to 12 MMA wins not 0.

I think Amir will do just fine all the way up to the elite of 185. He has tons of heart, slick subs and he stays eerily calm when getting his ass kicked. Put him at Xtreme Couture, get his conditioning up to par with the best 185ers, work on getting him more well-rounded and you have a winning fighter. He won't be ready for Anderson, Okami, Hendo or Franklin anytime soon, but I could see him beating someone like Chris Leben after a year or so of training, I like Leben but I just see him getting subbed against Amir.

I don't know he is kind of an enigma. He doesn't *seem* to be all that good but he keeps surprising me. He seems to execute fundamental jiujitsu well, and have a good stand up game.

almost anyone hes got a crazy ability to pull off the upset. no one thought he would win the fight to get in the house now hes the champ. he could really shock alot o ppl.

ppl would be clamoring or cb to fight top competition had he won but thats becuase he was the favorite not the ultimate underdog

I wouldnt be surprised if he flopped once he got in the UFC, he doesnt seem as physically impressive as other UFC fighters. Maybe he should drop to WW, but that is a tough division to get wins in right now. Anyways I hope he does well

But the point is irrelevant considering he's dropping to WW...so let the debate on him being smashed in WW begin...(sarcasim)

Well, he beat Matt Brown on the show. Matt Brown beat Matt Arroyo at the TUF 7 Finale. So there are two guys he can beat in the 170 pound division.
