Excellent news. They put on good fights.
Their welterweight tournament featured some of the best fighters around. Carlos Condit, Jake Shields, Frank Trigg, Anderson Silva, Yushin Okami, Kazuhiro Yamanaka, Charuto Verrisimo to name a few. Silva has since beaten Rich Franklin, Condit and Shields are both ready for the big time, and Okami and Yamanaka are studs. Charuto beat Gil Castillo, should have defeated Hughes in a controversial decision, and tooled Carlos Newton. I hope this goes well, competition always improves the breed.
