------------------------------------------------------
Not great to hear that Loiseau dropped another fight with a less than stellar performance. But then on the other hand everyone out of the Greg Jackson camp has been on fire lately, so it's not a bad loss... at least, it's no worse than any loss that's your third in the row is going to be.
Also, it sounds like an over the hill Renzo Gracie was getting the better of Frank Shamrock (legend in his own mind though he may be) before the DQ. Maybe that will get Shamrock, who's still in his physical prime, off his laurels and convince him to actually take some fights again. Of course, I'm not counting on it.
