He is without a doubt talented and he has a great record. But is he the next big MMA star? I am referring to the GSP, Anderson Silva, Chuck Liddell type of star. I agree that he will beat Ortiz but I am afraid that it will be another decision win. That is not what he needs to get the recognition he deserves. A dominating performance with a big finish is what he needs to jump to the next level. For the record I hope he gets it. I just don't see it happening. Not a trick question.

I think he is already a huge MMA star, he just doesn't kiss Dana White's ass like most other mma stars. I picked him over Ortiz by submission. Is that a trick question?
