And yet he is still MUCH better than Corey Hill. If Danny Abadi was 6'8" and weighed 145lbs, he'd be WAAAAY better than Corey Hill (and yes, I exaggerated the height and weight of Corey, but so what).

He would have to go on like a 12 fight win streak to even be considered to fight in a #1 contender fight - remember, he still has not had a pro fight yet. Can you imaging Corey Hill fighting Sean Sherk? It would be ridiculous. Corey would be laying helplessly on his back for the duration of the fight. Same thing against any good wrestler. I think Corey Hill was a nobody, still is a nobody, and has about a 35% chance at being successful in the UFC, but I do not think that he will ever hold the belt.

I think by what I saw he was an actual good guy (Aside from the barking) LOL. I think if I were to give him a fight it would not be Joe L. but someone alittle lower on the ladder like the guy Joe just destroyed. Joe L. should fight Diego Sanchez... That would be a good one.
