This guy has become one of my favourite fighters. I couldn't stand him on TUF and shortly after I made a thread saying that he was the worst fighter in the UFC.
He's progressed so much in the last couple of years and always puts on an exciting fight.
His striking is always fun to watch, excellent footwork and keep a fast pace. He needs to work on his striking defence though, at the moment it consists of just getting out of the way.
His ground game is always exciting as well. He's always looking for something, whether it's a sub or a transition.
All of this, and he should be on a 6 fight win streak right now (Figueroa was a robbery, even with the 2 point reduction).
So what does everybody think about Bruce Leeroy, is he ready for a step up in competition? Who would you put him up against? I'd love to see him against George Roop. I reckon it'd be a barn burner.
