Yeah, Roy Nelson is "no joke" as Joe is fond of saying. Remember, the HW weight limit is 263 which he is, so he can easily take on Lesnar, Carwin, Vesquez, etc. The question is, would Dana allow him to?
As for Gomi, he probably had some ring rust from the long layoff and the usual first time Octagon jitters. I felt bad for Nate, but he's just too slow.
For me, right now, the most exciting upcoming match-ups are in the HW division. What a change from the last couple years, huh? Can you imagine if Fedor would ever join the UFC ranks?

Going to be an excellent fight on 3 July between Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin. Both at 265 and NCAA Division I champions. This will be their first time ever facing each other.

I stayed up for last nights fights. Well pleased with Pearson & gutted at the state of Gomi.

@ Vette - When I first got into MMA, Hughes was one of my favs too. ONe of the first MMA fights I ever saw was Hughes Vs. Trigg where Trigg hit Hughes in the balls, and HUghes went on to win. However, Hughes has been fading quickly. He used to rely so much on his brute strength and now that it is waning, he's having trouble with these young bucks. Should be a good fight with him and Gracie.

No doubt, this time last year I was making a point to watch WEC and catching UFC on nights I didn't have anyhing better to do or got invited over to somebodys house to watch a ppv. Now though there are enough guys in UFC I like enough I hate and a few with some big fight potential (as you said especially in the HW division),
Thats why I woke this thread from its slumber there are some exiting things happening in MMA.
