Guillard did well and there is no doubt about that, however Dunham's striking is usually quite good and he does really well against fighters who he has the reach advantage over, but on top of that Melvin rocked him early and I think it took Dunham out of the fight, Guillard capitalized and finished Evan. I still think Dunham has talent and will be back sooner rather than later, he obviously still has some work to do but he will be back.

Hominick/Roop - Precision pinpiont strikes. Exactly like everyone expected. I'll go one step further and say he'll take the belt from Aldo. Not only that, he'll make it look easy.

Hominick looked like he always does, very good technical and crisp striking and he also finished the fight, but cmon man to say he will beat Aldo is one thing but to say he will make it look easy is totally ridiculous, what because he finished George Roop? or maybe it was his finish over Yves Jabouin? Aldo might not have faced anyone like Hominick but I can definitely guarantee that Hominick has never faced anyone like Jose Aldo.

Joey Beltran - should cut the weight to 205lbs, he would be quality in the LHW division, some real good match-ups for him. Hopefully he won't be cut.

I think Joey would get lit up at LHW, he is way to slow with his strikes and fails to mix it up like most other fighters, on top of that he has a really hard time taking anyone down as his wrestling is terrible, to be honest I dont think Beltran does anything all that well the only thing he has going for him is his toughness and his ability to take punishment and not fall down, this imo is the only reason he is still in the UFC. I would cut Beltran after another loss and wont be too suprised if they cut him for this loss.

Joey is also fighting guys in the 250-260 range...He could do wel lagainst mid tier LHW's but never a contender i think

i hope joey still has a job in UFC, that guy has so much heart, did you see at the end of the fight he couldnt stand, and then powered off the octagon floor with pure will. joey beltran is one tough s.o.b

Apparently only certain people are privileged to have an opinion around here.
My mistake.

Was anybody else impressed with Mitrione? And if so, how good do you think he can be?

Now that Dunham has lost twice in a row it's only fair he gets cut.

Nope. He had a great fight against Sherk, and he lost to Melvin. Both guys are far more experienced than him and there is no shame in losing to either.

I thought eternalwarrior was being sarcastic.
