After rewatching the Luigi fight and talking it over on another forum, does any one agree that he commited himself to cutting to 155 he would be sooooo much better? Ive always been impressed with him, but he just seems almost to "Big" at 170, weight wise. With his power, takedown defense and ju jitsu I could really see him doing well.

Brandon · 06-22-2008, 11:51 PM

I thought Diego was mighty impressive, but I came in here to discuss Grove/Tanner. Yes, I think Grove looked VERY sharp, but I can;t be alone in thinking its time for Tanner to hang 'em up.. He just doesn't have it anymore. Grove was good, but he wasn't THAT good.. to make Tanner look like that. Great career, though.

King of the Kill · 06-22-2008, 11:57 PM

If Matt Brown were more vicious he would be incredible.

Magnum Seven · 06-23-2008, 01:56 PM

Everybody built CB up as a dead cert for the UFC contract. Instead, he ended up taping out identically to the same guy twice.

Zar · 06-23-2008, 02:01 PM

I though Tanner once again showed he has the biggest heart in the sport. The man took a beating and just does not quit.

I don't think he is finished, he can be a fantastic gatekeeper, but also he put his body through hell for a couple years, it's going to take a while to recover, especially considering his age. I think he probably still has a couple good fights left in him.
