Leonard Garcia is like Diego Sanchez, they have sloppy, wild fights, swing for the fences, haymakers, good chins, giving it everything they have, tons of heart, etc. They are not technical or elite. If you only want to watch the cream of the crop fight, they aren't for you. If you like watching rock-em sock-em robots, they are very entertaining.

But to sock'em you kind of have to, get this, hit the other person once in a while Like Leonard Garcia has heart for sure but he easily should've lost every WEC/UFC split decision that he won, which would put his real Zuffa record at a 6-10-1

Diego Sanchez used to be a decent fighter. I can't recall when Leonard Garcia was one.

I've found Bad Boy's B league fights to be a mixed bag. His first one was real, real sad until his opponent gassed. His last few UFC fights showed he's just not on that level anymore which meant it was hard to have an exciting fight.

Huerta washed out of the UFC right around when I started paying attention to MMA so I don't know much about him. It looks like he had some legit wins, and even if you're can crushing pulling a 6-fight win streak in the UFC is pretty loving hard to do. What happened to him?

I think he had acting aspirations at the time? I just remember it was known he wasn't going to resign and he faced Gray Maynard on his way out maybe to make sure he lost.

roger huerta sincerely believed he was gonna be hollywood famous after his fight against clay guida and he stopped fighting + caring about fighting and it turns out that if you are sort of a marginal athlete its really hard to keep up if you just stop for awhile. particularly while the talent level is quickly increasing

They're both embarrasingly sloppy and the antithesis to what I like in MMA. Roy Nelson has approximately one punch in his entire arsenal and Garcia has two, both of which are T-Rex hooks. People cheering and complimenting Garcia for being 'scrappy' when all he does is swing like a drunk middle-aged bar fighter makes me sigh in disappointment.

Nelson connects often enough, too, but this is due to how awful heavyweight is and not indicative of any level of skill. This leads to him being in unexciting fights where someone who is actually a much better fighter easily outpoints him while he makes exhausted pouty faces.

He also sets them up with footwork.

Welcome to PSP! We like to have fun here but we also tackle serious questions in pages long debates. Questions like: -Is Leonard Garcia a good fighter? (Status: PENDING) -Which fighters are hot? Fellas, we don't discriminate! (Status: ANSWERED. Machida w/ Beard) -Is Wanderlei smarter than a flightless parrot? (Status: ANSWERED. A bird pecks at the fence in the blue corner, the song Sandstorm echoing throughout the arena. The red corner remains empty)

Jon Fitch looked good in the Hallman fight but I'm still disappointed he wasn't able to get the finish even at a heavier catchweight against a man with a lot of miles on him. Andrei Arlovski looked bad in WSOF and still got a UFC contract and what do you know his UFC return fight was trash too. All I'm saying is bring back Fitch.

Yeah people definitely accused him of being protected all the time. Then he did the third round of the guida fight and it washed all of that away. Fast forward to today.

Huerta used the jumbotron to elbow an opponent with back control in the head. He's cool in my book.
