I didn't insult you and your reasoning as to why Cain and Shane are good strikers are poor at best. The reality is that Cain is a decent striker and Shane is a poor striker. Maybe I came across as aggressive so I apologize for that, but let me ask you, are you one of those people that just look at stats? If so, then you must think that Machida beat Shogun and that's that.

One thing people need to understand is this:

 

Just because you hit hard (Carwin) does not make you a good striker.  Cain is a better striker than Carwin, but Dos Santos is one of the best "strikers" left in the division.  Id have put Tim S. there as well but he is gone (not as much power as say Carwin/Cain but much more technical)  Brock goes in that crowd of "brawlers".  It is like people saying that Frank Mir is a good striker because he knocked out Nog.  Not even close.

And Machida beat Shogun because of the UFC rules/scoring, not because of skill.  3 rounds that were ties by the judges go automatically to the champ (which is bullshit) and the other rounds were not deemed 10/8 rounds.  Its a shame but something that Dana (who cannot do nearly as much in this department as he says) is trying to get rid of.

 

They need to bring back Yellow Cards from Pride.  LOVED that system.  You either fight or we will TAKE YOUR FUCKING MONEY.  Nothing is more of a motivator than money.

Out of pure interest what is your definiton of a good striker?
