| Was wondering what you guys thought about Bones. I'm part of this other, obscure MMA board where 90% of the posters jizz all over themselves when discussing Bones. They either have him in their p4p top ten or LW top 5. I think he has some exciting moves and potential to be a contender but has faced some typically inferior opposition thus far in the UFC. I could justify him breaking the LW top ten though with a strong win over Hamil. | |

| Young with tons of size (longest reach in the UFC I think) and tons a ability. He still has work to do at this point, but the sky is the limit. I want to see how he deals with a bigger threat (Tito, Forrest, Rich, etc) but I wouldn't mind if the UFC moves him slowly either. | |

| He could be really special, but if O'Brien had more pop in his shots Bones would have been KO'd at 100. Counter strikers may be his weakness, not a good thing in today's LHW division. | |

| Agree with Wolf... And his conditioning could be an issue with guys that will take him late into fights... | |

| Hes good but untested. That German suplex he did on Bonnar was beautiful but Bonnar always loses to anyone that can wrestle. | |

| Let's wait to see how he handles a heavy-hitter like Hamill that won't be affected by his wrestling. | |
