I think thiago has improved, but I felt what he has improved on is his TDD. He's still not the best by far. I made a thread recently saying that I think he could possibly be the most dangerous WW if he improved on certain aspects. He has some of the best striking in the ww division and it's even dangerous when fighters try to take him down as seen when karo tried. Plus, he is very explosive and has gotten out of trouble when he was on his back. It's true what leedog said though, we haven't seen him too much on his back so its hard to tell. Same thing has been said about GSP though. At the same time, we might not see much of thiago on his back especially if he can end it while it's standing.

Fitch imo has looked lackluster in his last 3 fights and I don't know what would happen if they faced now. All I know for sure is that Fitch has better TDs than any fighters thiago has faced, so if he can somehow stuff fitch's tds (no easy task) then I see thiago ending it this time.

you never know...

Grey did knock Manynard the fuck out

Nah it was from me, I negged leedoggshit. I don't need to explain why the guy is a complete loser and deserved it, because it's all over the thread. And dbader is just bitter because I negged him for being a bitch.

As for who'd win between Thiago and Fitch, I actually haven't watched too much of either as I've been occupied with other things during their fights. Read the thread so I could get your opinions on these guys, watch em fight a few more times, then form my opinion. Really need to catch up on those two.

I think a lot of people--not you, but a lot of people--are basing opinions based on Alves outworking Karo on the ground and just standing up as an indication of his vast improvement. That might be the case, but I'd point out that Fitch is more likely to take down directly into a more dominant position than Karo's throws, and has a better submission game than Karo.

I like Alves, and I know his ground game has improved--I can only imagine what would happen to Fisher if he fought him again, but it wouldn't look pretty--but I'm not sure how much it's improved. If he can keep it standing, he outstrikes Fitch; obviously.

Without further indication of Thiago's ground game, I'd say Fitch's TD's and size controls him on the ground to another loss, but by decision this time.
