I really like the guy and have always enjoyed his fights in the UFC. But I don't see how someone gets tapped from a top guillotine in this day and age unless you simply are that inept on the ground. I mean he knows his weakness is on the ground, and you're in TUF where you have Laimon, and other dudes around who can help you with your ground weakness.

I didnt like his comment "I know I'm the superior athlete"... Athleticism is only 10% of the fight game. 90% of it is technical and mental!!!!! If you can't humble yourself enough to work on your weakness, you're never going to reach the next level. It's too bad because Spratt is one of those who could because of his athleticism be one of the great ones.

I'm simply disappointed with Spratt's attitude.
