You have to excuse doublebase ... he tends to post in links. It's okay. He does speak at times, but you have to get to know him to understand him.

We all love Horodecki. Ifl is an interesting addition to MMA. It helps newer fighters get solid training from some of the big names in MMA while still earning a paycheck. You should also check out BODOG if you're really into MMA. Their site offers free HD downloads of their fights from a fast server. Some good female fighters too.

Wow, I didn't know there was a league for women as well. I'd watch that.

the kid is a stud, with the experience he is gaining is gonna prepare him for bigger and better things. hope he doesnt try and make the jump too early though

One of the best fights I've seen in a while ... from a 19 year old kid vs. a 28 year old man no less.

Hopefully he's got good people around him who will keep him level headed for now and not overly hungry to make a name for himself or try for an early shot at anyone's title. He's still 2-3 years out from being a contender.

2 - 3 years if he gets a little BJJ training cuz other than avoiding it, he has no ground game at all. He does have an arrogant attitude that annoys but that's just me I guess.

Right now he's a big fish in a little pond where he could get some great training. Hope it sticks ...

Just straightline him into WEC, he can have a standup match against Razor Rob and see how well that works out for him.

lol ... I'd like to see that. He needs that 1st ass kickin' to set his mind right.

he wouldnt get his ass kicked in the wec. he wouldnt remain undefeated any longer, but the wec isnt that strong of a leage either

If Chris fought at Faber's 145 he'd get his clock cleaned. Uriah Faber is fast as hall and has great submission skills. Horodecki can't stop Faber's take downs IMO, but the kid has that 1 shot KO with hands AND feet that just makes for great match-ups.

Vs McCullagh's muay-thai and submission skills it would be a good match on their feet, but on the ground Horodecki is screwed. I don't remember where Razor Rob gets his sub's from, but if it's BJJ than muay-thai/BJJ is an unbeatable combonation of skills sets that Horodecki would get skooled from. I expect they will meet someday.

The IFL can only keep that kid for so long, and the WEC is the next logical step for 'em. The UFC doesn't do the little guys anymore ... that's what the WEC is for now. I like the action from the lighter weight classes ...

Karalexis vs. Horodecki would be interesting.

I would hope, but Alex is pretty crafty on his feet. I figured this would be a more realistic matchup and a good entrance exam to the big leagues for him, rather than the hypothetical thrown-to-the-wolves matches we've been throwing out.
