Despite his recent fall from grace, I still rate him quite highly - obviously not from a rankings standpoint, because he's been losing, but in terms of what I believe to be a fair assesment of his skills, I think he's well rounded enough to be top 5 in the MW division. One guy I would have loved to see him fight is Rich Franklin. Franklin has the advantage in strength, but other than that I think they're pretty evenly matched. Too bad Franklin has already moved up and looks like he's going to stay at 205. They should give Kang someone like Marquadt or Thales Leites after his first fight in the UFC. That would be a great gauge of where his game is at the moment. I think Denis will look better than he has when he joins the UFC.
