Short of decisioning Rampage and Jason MacDonald, he's never really done anything impressive. He's not a bad fighter per se, he just belongs in the smaller promotions.

Eastman isnt a bad fighter and there are current fighters in the UFC LHW division he could beat but they are still signed. Even if not the UFC he could still be moved over to the WEC as well.

Don't hold your breath, Eastman still has another fight on his WFA/UFC contract, although i don't know when it expires, but if it hasn't I can tell you that Dana White won't let him fight else where if he has if he has time on his contract. Remember he tried to do the same thing when he signed to fight Vitor.

Also Marvin has said that he is going to move down to 185, so it will be enteresting to see his first fight there, but if the UFC has a fight left with him I'm sure they will throw him to the wolves and let somebody get a win over a guy with a name like Eastman.

I have never thought much of the Crow, some of his big wins come by cuts in fights i believe he was losing like the Tanner fight.

Tanner won the first round. The second, Loiseau was winning and was really landing a lot of elbows and hurt tanner really bad. If the fight wasn't stopped by the cut, I still think that Loiseau would've won because I don't think that Tanner would have been able to come back from that.

So is it safe to assume that Louiseau is not signed with EliteXC?

Yeah, I heard about the DC thing. Thats pretty interesting. I will probably go. Where are you from Smoogy? Do you train?

I'm from Nova Scotia and I don't train but if I'm ever in decent enough shape again I intend to try some combat sport stuff. There isn't a lot of MMA oriented stuff around these parts, but there is a really good up and coming fighter named Roger Hollett from Halifax who is part of a team of MMA fighters that mostly fight for the local ECC promotion so far. I definitely intend to go see the next ECC fightcard.
