i can see him challenging for the title in another year or two. i'd like to see how he'd do against a maia or a fitch.
It might be wise for him to drop down a weight class.

Good thread.
His grappling looked phenomenal against an out-of-shape, late-notice Damarques Johnson. It'd be good to see him up against a slightly tougher guy next..
Here you go:
How about tapping in shape, heavyweight Monson in competition?
Yeah I remember nowFrom what I've seen decent I guess his grappling currently is obviously the star of the show
His striking style, is like a cross between Machida- Hendo.
you know who his next fight is against? He isn't winning his next fight.
Why are you acting like Justin Edwards is some kind of wrecking ball? He got dominated on the ground by John Maguire, a person who Gunnar would absolutely tool on the ground, and he lost on one of the weakest seasons of TUF ever.
I think people are seriously underestimating Edwards.
For those of you talking about the ground game, you do know that Edwards trains at JGMMA don't you. He was also a wrestler coming out of Ohio, it's Edwards skills that are on another level.

I think he has a bright future.
He has the best kind of mindset IMO, its that fedor kind of mindset. Just pure fighting warrior type of mind where they perform their best because they are not controlled by fear itself. They live in the moment, in a zen type of way, and just react from their instinct instead of thought so things just flow faster.
However, that 170 division is just becoming so stacked. Rory, Hendricks and others are growing so fast. We will see in time who the best prospect is. I am wondering when Gunnar fights next?...I have been googling it....ok,nevermind... just found it...he fights Justin Edwards with an 8 - 2 record....i like how the UFC tries to build their fighters
