Stann vs. Marshall

looks good on paper........who takes it?

Rhino showed he has more than just hands in his last outing, I think we'll probably see him taking it to the ground in this one.  They both can bang it out, but Doug's probably a bit more well rounded.  Which doesnt say much because neither of these guys are anywhere near the top ten 205lbers.

Im glad it ended like that and not like Crunk/Gomez.  Sadly, Stann and Marshall would be mauled by any top 15-20 205lb fighter.  WEC has all the deep talent in the 135 and 145lb divisions.  All of the other weight divisions are the same, one or two good fighters and the rest are C class fighters.  Who do they have over the 145lb weight div.  that could hang in the big leagues?  Paulo Filho,Chael Sonnen,Carlos Condit, that's really about it.  If anybody else in the WEC over 155lbs was really that good they would be in the UFC (with the exception of Filho since he didn't want to interfere with A.Silva's Div. in the UFC).  Either way it was good while it lasted.

I agree on this point.  I watched the fight and I surprised how poor these two competitors where.  Any top twenty level fighter from a larger organization would destroy them both.  It still surprises me when I see fighters standing in front of each other exchanging punches until someone is knocked out.  So much for strategy.   Stann has zero snap on his punches, when he throws a punch he tenses his shoulders and that takes a lot of steam and momentum off his punches.
