If he moves up and dominates UFC's WW divison, well than colour me blue.

How are his chances any better at LW then they are at WW? He has 3 pro fights, he has no chance of competing with the top 20 of either division yet. You said he will never succeed, I think you're wrong.

I like Corey Hill and I want him to do good. Like I said, I could be wrong... but I just think he's better where he's at.
You're right, he only has three pro fights, but you can see in every fight that he needs improvement. If he sticks to the LW division, I think he'll get the better experience he'd need... then maybe he could move up, if he starts to feel comfortable.

And I like Amir and Brock as fighters, but neither of them should be in the UFC either. Talent-wise, we'll see, but no one, I repeat NO ONE, should be making their pro debut in the UFC at this point in the timeline of MMA, which is what both Hill and Sodollah did.

I am disappointed he lost. But then again I am disappointed any of my favorite fighters lose, lol. But he has a ton of potential and I can't wait to see him fight again. I would be o.k. with a move to the WEC just so he can get more exp. And what is the point of this thread? Every fighter makes mistakes and they learn from them.

You guys are just full of shit because he lost. All of sudden, everything is magnified 1000 times and somehow, some of you are convinced Corey Hill is just plain not good enough. The fact is, Corey Hill looked really good. His stand up was crisp, and he had a swagger in way he fights. People need to stop taking things out of proportion whenever someone lose or wins. I personally hate this guy for how he was portrayed during the TUF season. He just looked arrogant as hell, but he looked really good in his last fight. i am glad he lost, but you can't deny that his skills have improved dramatically.

Sarcastic or not, he didn't lose because of his training. He takes his training real serious and does so with such intensity.
