At least Gunnar Nelson has a strong chin

[condoriano]

He ate some strong punches, but he doesn't fight smart at all

[Kaijan]

He definitely did some smart things in the fight, like doing enough to win, but other than that I agree with you. Was it over confidence or a lack of defensive skill? He was almost too relaxed and certainly could have avoided more strikes had he been a bit more focused. Was it an off night for him? If not I think he has a long way to go before breaking into the top ten. Definitely potential there tho.

He's definitely skilled, but he needs to work on his striking defense/cardio

[jzdakilla]

John Anik was all over Gunnar. It was annoying.

[kaltkalt]

Definitely not as impressive as his last fight. Still, I like Little Lyoto. Hopefully he'll make some changes after this fight.

[sauser]

His ground game is on another level. He has the best hips in the UFC just needs to lock down striking and cardio. He doesnt progress in a finish unless his opponent gives it to him which he needs to change. These top guys will take punishment and wont quit which will result in a lot of decisions unless he lets submissions or high legs kicks go more often.

Way too confident. Why even make it a close fight? He could have stayed on his opponent and got a stoppage or at least won more convincingly.
He's great but not good enough to dropped his hands and get hit by any of the good guys.
