anyone
seen any of his fights. I can’t remember off the top of my head. I mean Popovitch is enough info for me to give him hope.
Easy win for Cerrone maybe?
Anderson Silva, Edson Barboza, Jose Aldo, Charles Oliveira, Thiago Alves = Muay Thai wrecking machines!

It looks like
Cerrone’s grappling is coming along nicely and it appears that Rocha is a fairly one dimensional grappler.
That's a stupid question.
Because Cerrone needed an opponent. Do you have a better suggestion for someone willing to step in and fight Cerrone on a month’s notice?

That's unnecessarily brash, don't you think?
“Why?” could mean a number of things … to me, when I first say the comment, I read it as “Why does this guy have the chops to fight Cerrone?” Not so much as “Ugh, bring in somebody better!” as it is “Can anybody tell me why I should like this fight?” as in, looking for more information on the guy.
But your way works too, I guess.
And then God created Saturn ... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it. ... Always a ninja
