Yeah, I gotta go with Da Mega Man on this one. Gonzaga's faced Carwin, Werdum, and Couture and lost. Could he beat Lesnar? Sure, he could. He almost beat Carwin (he had him hurt) and the Couture loss could likely be attributed to a broken nose by way of unintentional head butt. But the question posed is *will* he be the next champ? And I say no. I think Carwin has a decent chance of taking the strap from Lesnar. And then we'll see. Gonzaga taking out the last less-than-high-calibre-dude he fought doesn't really make him a solid challenger to the winner of Carwin / Lesnar, though I think Nepao is one of the most all-around skilled HW on the UFC roster right now with the size to contend with those behemoths. I think the UFC is grooming Gonzaga to be a stepping stone for Big Nog...who they need to make their money off of before he's done.

The unfortunate nature of this sport is that people get more popular after they peak, actually, because it's (right now) based on history moreso than potential when you're in the upper echelon. But yes, I think that people retiring early may detract a bit from the "shine" of this sport. It makes it seem "fly by night". The movie aspect is pretty crappy - yes, get paid while you're hot, I guess. But it's probably a good idea for Dana White to think about how contracts are written and how much he pays, what endorsements he allows, etc. Does the sport need a Fighter's Union or something? LOL.

Hey Evan, just to let you know - Silky Jo got me on this site, but it was people like you that kept me coming back; people with interesting thoughts and insights.

BTW, it's amazing what the internet can do - It honestly saved my sanity when I was injured; I was pretty depressed and the internet allowed me to connect mentally and socially when I couldn't physically get out of bed. It is a meeting place for like-minded people, it's a way to communicate, share, and discuss about things you're passionate about. And honestly, I feel like less of a freak on the internet :D There's not many people I know in my city that I can discuss MMA with for hours on end :D

I dunno if it'll be Kenny who takes the crown from Penn. Penn looked very good his last time out. There's a lot of "unbeatable" looking dudes holding the belts right now. Penn / GSP / A. Silva / Machida / Lesnar.
