The Snowman on a Roll

30-8 Jeff Monson is on a 6 win streak, yet is still not cracking the top 10 heavyweights in the world. The 5'9 247lb spark plug has defeated such names as Ricco Rodriguez, Roy Nelson, and Sergei Kharatinov, and is on his way back to the UFC. His last fight there was against the 6'8 Tim Sylvia, which presented a foot height difference. Many deemed the fight david vs goliath...if David was a 247lb freak of nature with gorilla strength. The fight was boring, but his other fights were a pleasure to watch for any fan of submission fighting. He is a North/South Choke specialist, and in my opinion needs the respect he has gained through beating some incredible opponents. He is 8 or 9 in the world material in my (and a true fan of mma's) book.
