Very impressive fight.  I'd like to see him take on Joe Stevenson, Tyson Griffin, or Gray Maynard to see if his ground game has holes.

Pretty solid but, come on.

Wand back in PRIDE days, not even close.

Watch the fight again.  I haven't seen striking like that from anyone in the UFC.  He had combinations coming out every which way.

Believe it or not, most of his wins are by submission. He's apparently very well rounded and looks to have a nice future in the sport. That being said; Wandy? In the pride days?  ::)

I don't like Ross, but I give him props for looking really crisp with his stand up and taking out a really seasoned, tough veteran.  Ross and all of the other guys he trains with indeed have holes in their game.  Ross is good but any of the guys with a solid wrestling base like Maynard,Edgar,Griffin,Guida would take him down at will.  I expect him to fight a couple more guys (without killer wrestling skills) that are willing to stand with him to hype him up a bit before they throw him in with the big dogs.
