Efrain is pretty good

i wasnt sold on him after TUF, but i have a lot of respect for him after beating a tough philip nover and now destroying miller...i think he'll be one of those guys who people keep doubting.

Looked very solid on the feet, surprisingly, and had a nice slam, not surprisingly.

Never see him winning the belt, even down the line, but he'll be a very solid LW, Cole is a very good fighter, nice finish/win by Efrian.

I picked Cole to win the fight but Efrain looked very impressive and probably should have gotten KO of the night.

He won't be getting worse anytime soon. only upside for him being so young into his career.

he has a very good grappling and wrestling background. with the write tutelage, he will be a top 10 LW. in fact what young LW do you think looks more promising than efrain?

I would like to see Efrain vs Nate Diaz.

Escudero vs Huerta in the first event in mexico it cud be a fight night...

This guy could be a future champ. Outside of BJ he's a lot like everyone else in the UFC in the division.

This might be a good matchup after last night. Efrain looked much better in his performance but a submission guy like Diaz could make it interesting.

Efrain would beat Nate IMO.

Nate is one of the most overrated LWs in the UFC.

how is he overrated he just went to a split decision against the number 1 contender?

Subject: Re: Efrain is pretty good Tue Jan 12, 2010 5:49 pm

Thats because neither of them did anything special to try and finish that fight.

For all his showboating he's all talk and no walk. I just dont like him.

you're really over exaggerating. He talks as much as the average fighter. Maynard was the one who started actually talking trash during the fight.

And just cause you dont like him personally doesn't mean he's overrated.

Subject: Re: Efrain is pretty good Tue Jan 12, 2010 5:55 pm

He is overrated...by alot of people.

What impressive fights has he ever dominated or looked impressive even? Anytime I watch the guy I just see him showboating and not doing anything after.

He shows nothing that impresses me in the least. His Brown Belt is the only thing that keeps him from being a total loser.

And Efrain is a moot point nowanyway!

well you're entitled to your wrong opinion i suppose. Im not saying he is a world beater and neither is anyone else but if you cant see that he's a pretty decent fighter who was a huge under dog last night by the way, and he made that fight very close. And he's still very young he will get better.

How are you going to say that I'm wrong? Just because you're a Nate Diaz fan and I'm not, its going to be an endless argument that neither of us can win. We both have valid points.

Now I never said he wasnt a DECENT fighter. That I could agree with. But people that say he's a good fighter at this stage of his career boggles my mind.

All that being said....I guess we're both entitled to our "wrong" opinions.

you said he's one of the most overrated lw's in the ufc. And i was just letting you know that if thats the case then the numbern 1 contender, Gray Maynard, must be pretty overrated too then because Nate fought him to a close SD. I think Nate could beat a number of LW's who are ranked wayahead of him. Most people dont even have him in the top 15 lw's so i was just a little confused as to how he could be overrated, technically if anything he's underrated. But enough with this im gonna take a nap haha
