James Thompson looks at Mariusz Pudzianowski and sees a reminder of a mistake he once made. A very big reminder.

Now on the eve of his second fight with the former “World’s Strongest
Man,” Thompson isn’t sure whether Pudzianowski has learned
the lesson that bigger is not always better. But he doesn’t really
care.

“At the end of the day, I got offered to fight him again,” Thompson told
MMAjunkie.com Radio. “I thought, ‘Why not?’
I’ll beat Mariusz up again.”

HOUSTON – Gone are the days of true “striker vs. grappler” affairs at
the UFC level, and UFC 136′s Joe Lauzon is quite aware of that fact.

But his main-card matchup with Melvin Guillard appears about close as
