Anybody else think this guy could probably give A. Silva a run for his money?
Idk why Dana and crew didn't scoop him up while they had the chance, throw him in there with somebody who likes to bang and he'll be an instant star, shoot he was on the most watched MMA card, give him a few matches to build him up and have he and Silva bang it out.
I mean maybe I'm looking too much into his recent performances and nut-hugging a bit, but I feel he's definitely good at MW, idk anybody else agree?

Robbie was a king in UFC awhile back (Miletich camp stand out). His loss to Diaz seemed to mess him up for a bit, but his wins on elite xc were good (ninja Rua, Trigg). I agree UFC should bring him back, but...who knows why he left? There might be some bad blood.

Anderson would kill him, and the UFC couldn't pick him up because he was tied up with his EliteXC contract and then picked up by strikeforce. Having said that I'd love to see him in the UFC, him vs. Chris Leben would be a hell of a fight.

He'd make a great gatekeeper but not a legit contender imo.
Hes a poormans cote and a richmans leben.

I think he would either get too cocky or get to mad when he got hit. Then he would swing for the fence and get ktfo. Def an exciting fighter though

Just one more reason why WAMMA is a good and necessary concept...

Robbie is awesome and he would be a great addition to the UFC MW class. I think he'd be a top dog at MW, but Silva would still walk through him.

I know it's been awhile but it's hard to see anyone who got KO'd by Nick Diaz as a threat to Anderson Silva

I think he's matured a lot since his UFC days, although he was one of my fav fighters back then. That being said, I think Silva would walk all over him.Originally Posted by Keddy

No bad blood....from the best of my understanding, his contract was up and he wanted to fight elsewhere at MW (he fought WW the majority of his UFC fights..)Originally Posted by parkerbro1
