re: Shawn Jordan fighting in UFC 149

Shawn took a fight against a top 25 fighter in the world, on 4 weeks notice, coming off 2 surgeries, and still went the distance against a guy with 6 years UFC experience. Shawn just started traing with Jacksons camp less then 2 years ago and has got a lot of learning to do. This loss will drive him to train harder and show him that he has a future in the UFC.

I'm not an idiot and I know the fight wasn't a great fight to watch but the fact that Kongo couldn't finish him was damn near carried out of the cage shows that Shawn isn't a push over and is no stepping stone. If he keeps training in NM and gets healthy then he will be a good fighter for the UFC.
