im not sure how you're drawing any parallels between kimbo slice and urijah hall. it remains to be seen the level of success that hall will have in the ufc, but he had already accomplished more in professional fighting before he was on the ultimate fighter than kimbo slice ever did.

My picks for UFC 160:
Cain by KO
Hunt by KO
Te Huna by Dec
Grant by Dec
Cerrone by Sub
Looking like a pretty solid card even the prelims are stacked

Noons made Cerrone look good. Most impressive guy on the card was TJ Grant. Deserves a title shot.

It looks like Glover Teixiera is on a pretty good roll, I'm interested in seeing this next bout between Rashad Evans and Dan Henderson, the winner of that fight faces Teixiera, and most likely, the winner of that fight faces Jon Jones for the lightheavyweight title. I don't really see the hype around Teixiera, sure he's a decent Lightweight, but nothing spectacular to write home about, I think Jones will hand him his first loss in the UFC.
Another match up I'm keeping my eye on is Aldo v. Pettis in August! Aldo is a BEAST and Pettis is starving it seems like! That dude WANTS IT! That should be a great fight!
And after TJ Grant's performance against Gray Maynard, I'd like to see how well he does against Bendo for the Lightweight title!

I disagree, Hunt is done, he doesn't belong in the UFC. He is too old and too washed up to compete against the elite of the Heavyweight division. Could you imagine him going up against Cain? He needs to quit while he's ahead. I hate seeing fighters be put out instead of going out themselves..
I think someone like Roy Nelson would be a much better bet, he's young and still has the ability to improve and make a decent run at the championship.
JDS is much more technically sound than Hunt, his overhand right kept getting through and he was much faster on the jump, Hunt was basically on the defense the entire fight, and he was almost completely gassed out when Dos Santos threw the wheel kick, it almost looked like he gave up because of exhaustion. If you look closely, the kick connected with the back of Dos Santos' calf, not really on the heel or ankle bone, so it was pretty much a half assed muscle strike daze. It just rung Hunt's bell so much he couldn't recover.
The future of the HW division is yet to be seen, I don't think JDS is ready for a rematch with Cain and I can't think of any legitimate contenders that even come close.. I think Cain will remain the champion for a while, and they'll throw him bums who haven't earned it for at least until 2015 just to fill the seats.. We might see a legitimate contender in or after 2015.
As for Welterweight, I'd LOVE to see GSP v. Rory MacDonald and also GSP v. Johny Hendricks! MacDonald won't happen because they're both pussies, but we'll likely see the Hendricks fight this year!
Aldo v. Pettis is going to be AWESOME!

It didn't look like it took much to KO Hunt this last fight, he looked out of shape, rusty and on the defensive. It looked like his game plan was business as usual, go in and throw wild punches and hope some of them land, he reminded me of Cabbage in this last fight, I swear!
Can doesn't have to stand and bang, he's got other abilities that add up to victory in the cage, it's stupid to risk so much on luck like that, especially when you have other equally as good if not greater skills you could utilize. Would you praise* Jon Jones or Anderson Silva for abandoning their strikes in favor of wrestling or jui jitsu?

lol...... shows what u know.... I like how u said a k1 grand prix champ isn't shit.... mark hunt is a fucking animal.. mark hunt would knock out any other h.w. if they chose to stand and bang how dos santos did... dos santos took some hard shots from hunt and absorbed them... jr landed the same overhand right that k.o. cain a few times... and also that nasty left hook that k.o. gonzago right before he karate kicked hunt in his very thick skull and knocked him out.. no other h.w. in the ufc can knock mark hunt out... esp not cain... only way cain can finish hunt woud be submission and that aint saying much because everyone subs hunt.. cain can never pound hunt out...

btw... cain has a shitty chin and one good punch from anyone with some power and cain will go to sleep..

all cain has is sick ass wrestling/ground and pound{but its not vicious get knocked out ground and pound like bigfoot silva, mark munoz ect.} and great cardeo.. that's it.. he has basic power for h.w. standard stand up.. and a weak chin... he has no submission game like how fedor had {as well has being a sick ass sambo grappler}

btw jds looked fucking great after tweeking his training sessions... he had plenty of cardeo in the latter rounds and still had knockout power and speed in the third... cain is gonna get smashed in the rubber match... and then after this one that's it for cain phycoligicly... its hard knowing that all ur opponent has to do is land one big punch and ur done.... an he has done it twice before.... he got super lucky jr gassed from overtraining and had a divorce fresh on his plate and couldn't hit cain... that wont happen again.. not in a 25 min fight

JDS is an animal i seee him and junior fighitng 4-5 times easy over the next 5 years including their past 2 fights.. ONly one in the div now that carwin and his 1 hit ko power left, is mir with better wrestling cuz he can stand with cain imo and hold his own till he pulls uard on junior if he starts using his muscle to bully peopel instead of lettingsmaller weaker guys hold him agains tthe fence..

Looks like Chael P Sonnen will be stepping in for a injuried Lil Nog against Shogun. not bad for a less than 2 week replacment. UFC 161 looking good with Rashad Evans vs Dan Henderson Main event and a Shogun vs Sonnen Co-Main.
