Yeah, I was going to make that point. But we don't know his stamina hasn't improved. |

the way Bas Rutten trains, I imagine it has. that's where the 40lbs has gone.

I've no doubt his fitness has improved but this is a guy who was previously breathing out of his arse after a minute or so, so I'd suggest lack of stamina will still be a major weakness.
Hope Mercer calls it a day as it was pretty sad to see him in that state (had 2 losses in K1 as well), although I'm guessing it was financial reasons that got him in there as opposed to anything else.

UFC 74 is on tomorrow in Vegas, showing on Bravo Sunday night 9pm
headline is Randy Couture v Gabriel Gonzaga. The shock KO of Mirko Crocop by Gonzaga earlier in the year has suprisingly made him a slight bookies favourite. I'm more than happy to bet on Randy Couture at better than evens. I think he'll ground and pound this one out fairly easily.
other good looking fights are Josh Koschec v George StPierre. GSP has an obvious stand up advantage but if Koschec wants it on the ground it generally goes to the ground and his wrestling is MILES better than GSP. can't pick it.
Roger Huerta is on the card and has looked very impressive so far. don't know his opponent but he'll have to be damn good to stop Huerta.
Kendall Grove should beat Patrick Cote but it'll be a war.
can't see Joe Stevenson losing to anyone but the top of the lightweight division
sadly I don't expect Frank Mir losing and Babaloo winning to make the edit for Bravo.
should be a good card.

yeah, saw the price on the blonde sportsbook a few days back and think Couture will win. Pity I have no money. |

That was impressive although he has to finish his opponents off quickly otherwise he is in big trouble due to his lack of stamina.
As found out against the bear. |

he couldn't kick, knee or elbow before either but he seems to have learned all that. I'm sure his stamina has been worked on too.
I was very sceptical of Kimbo in the past but he looked like a real cage fighter against Mercer. Working with Bas Rutten will have that effect.
