you must be the dumbest fan on the planet hopefully your just a girl so then its no biggie cause it not your fault but if not ..holyshit that is so idiotic Gilbert better then BJ at lighweight...Im not even gonna comment on best P4P cause that had to be a joke by you considering there is prolly 10 guys infront of him or more But serously BJ..Diego...Clay Guida...Kenny Florian...Franky Edgar...Gray Maynard...Tyson Griffen...Pearson...Sherk...Gomi..Etim..Jim MIller..Stevenson..............could all beat him dude serously and ya on some of the lower named guys i mentioned if they fought 3 times he may pull off a win or 2 if that but mostly all of them would smash him and ones toward bottem atleast be very very competive and harder fight then he has had

i hate strikeforce but i hate shinya aoki more and gill will destroy him. aoki has no stand up and thats a fact. gill is an all round MMA fighter and will win. however where the fight takes place will be a major factor not just because of fan support and home field advantage but also because if its in japan aoki has a huge chance at winning because it will be in a boxing ring and vice versa if its held in the US

aoki may not be dangerous standing up, but he has face many great standup fighers who are good on the ground and has beaten all of them. i like melendez, but i think it might be too hard for him to stay outta aoki's crazy submissions. i know gilbert trains with a lot of great ground fighters, but aoki is very sneaky with what he does. and when he feels he has any chance at an arm or a leg, he doesn't let go til he gets it.
