Yeah, Lauzon is a beast, period. He does indeed hold a KO win over Pulver and he's currently training with BJ Penn. I had Lauzon winning TUF 5 and was completely shocked with he lost to Gamburyan.
I'm honestly pulling for Florian to win this fight because I think he's the more well-rounded fighter, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if Lauzon gets the upset win.
As for Maynard, I think he's too much of a pure wrestler also. I haven't seen his last fight from January but I know he knocked out some guy in the fight before that in about 10 seconds, so I assume his stand-up is improving. I mainly want to see that fight to see how Frankie Edgar, a wrestler who completely HANDLED Spencer Fisher in his last fight, does against another pretty good wrestler in a fight.
