    His 4 fight win streak is against:

    3 - 10
    8 - 6
    9- 5
    0 - 1 (the 1 being McSweeny)

    Considering Stav got a controversial draw against Neil Grove and beat Ricco Rodriguez id say its unlikely JM would get much from a fight with him but it would be good to watch.

    Im not trying to bash Mcsweeny but he has to be realistic, he will never be as good on the ground as the guys at his weight who have that as their base and he only has 6 TKO/KO on his record yet he has be KO/TKO 4 times and at least two of these where by grapplers.

    If he hasn't quit and is improving then props to him. I'd like to see his striking "back" to the way it was and have better take down defense as it seems he's trying more so to grapple with basic striking - it's completely different but hey; if he's winning...

    there were alot of people(including myself that were kind of let down that we rarely ever see him strike lately, he said it's just cause he wants to show people that he knows the ground game and is improving, so i guess i see were he is coming from
