Let's get a list of this going. Off the top of my head Urijah Faber, Gilbert Melendez, Rumina Sato (in his day), "Pequeno" Nogueira....what else we got I know I'm missing a ton.

Vitor "Shaolin" Ribeiro, Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto, Tyson Griffin, and Ryoto Machida are a few I could think of right away.

Yes, Shaolin, Kid, and Lyoto are really good ones. I knew I missed some obvious ones.

What's everyone else got?

Jake Shields is pretty good from what I hear.

Isn't Cung Le a Middleweight?

Anyways, Tyson Griffin isn't the future of the UFC LW division. This is as mind boggling as Rory being the next Jason Thacker. One fight and you guys jump to complete extremes one way or the other. Rory wins but not very impressively (even though it was a KO lol), he's as bad as Thacker. Griffin gets a controversial disputed stoppage against Bang, he's the best thing since sliced bread. Go figure.

Shields is a good one though.

bonne i know you watched the griffin/bang fight and that wasnt a quick stoppage he was unloading on him.

shields, sato are good. i wouldnt really count the heros guys because its as big as pride and the ufc now.
