what do you guys think lyoto says his brother is as good as him and more aggresive . Do you think dana will give him a chance. He is a 7 time karate champ for starters.

It is Shinzo and he's 1-1 and hasn't fought since 2006. I'd like to see him fight in the UFC but I wouldn't expect much from him. watching the vids, he just isn't Lyoto at all.

No prob soko. A lot could change in 3+ years though. Maybe he's improved and is ready?

I thought standing he looked very much like his brother, his other skills seemed to be lacking. Age?
If he wants to get into the game I'd be shocked if the UFC didn't give him a chance.

shinzo has a higher degree black belt in karate than lyoto. but doesnt have lyoto's other assets, that's why he struggled before in MMA.

Guida's brother got a shot on TUF, Rashad's brother got a shot on TUF, Karo's cousin was on TUF, Nick's brother was on TUF, Joe Louzon's bro is in the UFC now...I'm sure Dana can find a spot for him somewhere if he really wanted to.
