The Rin Nakai banwagon

Well now that she's moved to fly where her major plight, her reach, won't be AS big of a factor, where do you all stand? I think even at 135 she easily could've been annihilating everyone if she'd just tried to get inside more aggressively. She has a very low center of gravity, 1800's strongman muscle, unreal power, a great grappling background, and surprisingly good stamina, in spite of her muscle mass. She looks very good at 125, it doesn't look like cutting the weight did her anything but well. Her striking isn't bad either, it's just her reach. Everyone I've seen mocks her "shadowboxing" vs Tate, but that brazillian guy that fought mightymouse (Reis, I think) did it and he was called a great striker and atg win. She could easily be a bulldozer at 125 and be undefeated at that weight, if she applies herself. Hate to see her misused.
