I still maintain that Clay Guida is basically horrible at everything except cardio.

Shane Carwin can punch hard and acts like a child. He is way worse then Clay Gudia

Silva
Looks like Todd Bridges on a coke binge right now

I know I shouldn't
But I actually feel sorry for Sonnen lol

For what it’s worth,
Demian Maia triangled Sonnen too, a lot quicker in the fight at that too.
Just saying….
