at least they’re getting more star power now that Maia, Marquardt, and GSP aren’t going.. At least they’d get the interest of MMA fans. :)

What I was wondering, guess his hands are all better?
Walla walla walla I'm an idiot.

It’s a no-gi submission grappling competition, not jiu jitsu; Urijah is a terrific grappler and has some serious speed and control, he won’t win but he won’t be completely outclassed. Hell, he’ll probly do better than GSP considering all GSP did last time was get flying freaking armbar’d.

Good for grappling, not good for striking I guess? Weird. I don’t think he’ll do that well though. While he has really good sub defense, I’ve never seen him as a huge submission threat.

He’s a wrestler, he might just Monson out a few people on points, but yeah he’s not a threat to win or anything.

Don’t care about the Gracie, but it will be fun to see Faber and Cyborg tossed in the deep end of the pool.
And Luanna Alzuguir is hot. How awesome would a gf who did BJJ be. (tangent, sorry)

good news. not sure how technical his BJJ is, but his wrestling alone should take him pretty far. i think.
