Too soon for top 10 but he should get top 15 imo. RDA would make sense. Masvidal maybe. If he wins that he gets someone like Maynard/Grant/Thomson/Miller/Healy, if he wins that then #1 contender fight in early 2014 with whoever the other top guy is at the time.

If I had money on Colton i'd still be cheering for Whittaker here. But 2u Whittaker @ +185 gogogo

Yes seems to be a douchebag and his military talk makes me sick. Still cant deny his skills.

Same, I like Khabib/Khabilov/Maia/Hettes style ragdolling, way more interesting than standard wrestling

I can and do and have money on Whittaker. Colton will never beat a top 20 fighter in the UFC.

Smith via dec at +106, think I'm in the minority with him here.. But don't really see him losing this one.

I disagree, he will beat some top 20s, any wrestler always has shot vs a striker. However, I don't think Whittaker is top 20 anyways.

non stop wrestling seems to be the best style for mma. Even if you don't get them down, you still get them against the cage and you're winning the fight on points.

Downside is if you gas.

And not the power double type wrestling. That's too much risk.

I would argue that he isn't (but is top 15) based on his skills, and he wouldn't be if he didn't get a gift decision vs Dunham

I think the following UFC fighters beat him at LW and I would bet them at evens.

Bendo
Melendez
Maynard
Grant
Pettis
Thomson
Cerrone
Dunham
Edgar at LW
Guida did beat him at LW
Tibau did beat him at LW
Nurmagomedov
Khabilov

I do think he beats Lauzon, Varner narrowly and it's close to a flip with Miller
Healy and Barboza, i'd take Miller and Healy probably. He's in the 10-15 range with those guys though.

Me either, yet. But Colton isn't either imo.

Nice for whittaker, but that was a way too early stoppage.

Nice. No bet on the fight, but I picked Smith to win.
