sucks that he got shot

but ive never heard of this guy is he good enough that i should care that hes “back”

He’s a really dangerous striker. I don’t think he’ll ever be great, but he could easily wind up being a Brett Rogers clone.

I remember watching Lavar come up in the pre-Zuffa WEC. He always reminded me of of his teammate Mike Kyle in terms of his fighting style, but was Kyle’s complete opposite in terms of sportsmanship. I still get pissed off whenever I think of his bullshit loss to Doug Marshall.

Great comeback story

The Seumanutafa KO was just hilariously unorthodox.
KO’ing the guy with an uppercut while he shoots for the takedown.

He also trains at AKA sometimes.
You can see him spar with Velazquez at the UFC 110 countdown

Miesha Tate (8-2) talks Zoila Frausto (5-0): "I think she’s pretty green," Tate said. "She comes across as kind of cocky and arrogant. It’s definitely safe to say I am not her biggest fan. I think I out-skill her in every area." "I think she’s really tough, but I don’t think she is very well-rounded," Tate said of Frausto, who has been gearing up for the bout in San Jose, California with Team AKA. "She has a good standup game. Other than that, I don’t think she is very threatening." HT: strikeforce.com Strikeforce Challengers VII coverage
