Thread: MMA v1.1

Aoki is a wizard on the ground, but I'm pretty sure he would be dominated if he ever tried to compete in the UFC LW division. Japan has an extremely weak LW division. I'm pretty sure any decent wrestler like Guida, Tyson Griffin, or Stevenson would beat Aoki. Sherk would flat out destroy him, and Penn and Florian would probably make pretty quick work of him too.
Point being his BJJ is amazing, but his striking and wrestling aren't nearly up to par with UFC standards.
Anyway, who's psyched for Strikeforce? They got some real quality shows planned, I can't wait.
Diaz v. Shamrock is an amazing match up. Also Lawler v. Shields is going to be coming up which also should be awesome. The promoters definitely seem like they know what they're doing, unlike Affliction.
BTW if you haven't watched the Diaz v. Shamrock press conference yet, find it. It's fucking hilarious. Diaz gets burned everytime he tries to say something lol.

I don't agree with you saying that Aoki would get destroyed by any of those guys. I mean it can happen but i think you're just basing it on pure speculation, I mean that's how most ranking in MMA goes but I don't think you can just say that most of the UFC LWs are just so clearly better than the Japanese LWs.
