They should have given Bubba a fight against the guy he robbed of a second chance, Clint Heston.  And then watched as he got his head punched clean off.

I can see Kelvin winning this Saturday as good as Hall has been on the feet im not convinced by his take down defense.  Ive champion'd Kelvin from the start and see him winning the season.  If Kelvin chooses to stand and trade though for more than 30 seconds at the start of round one it could end badly for him.

One thing that got me in the final episode is that Kelvin was sat with the guys while SOnnen told Hall how great he was and that he could be the champ etc etc.  now that sorta bias isnt going to do Kelvin's confidence much good is it.

I did think that was bad. I wonder if Sonnen does genuinely beleive that Halli s good enough

Well you obviously dont get to see how well he trains etc, maybe he has slick bjj and wrestling too but I'm not convinced

I think he's pretty much a striker. Watching that video of Ronda owning him on the ground probably rules out slick BJJ as well.
Stylistically if he were to fight Anderson Silva right now it would be interesting to watch as they are both strikers and Silva would be very unlikely to take it to the ground despite his BJJ skills. I do think Hall would struggle against a good wrestler, like Sonnen though.
