Totally agree! George has paid his dues, its time for a run at the title. That would be a great fight, but its not going to help George get any closer to the title. Its all about being champion.

George deserves a title shot he's paid his dues. By the way Georges rubber guard is far superior to dustin hazleton.
Hazlett showed a nice half guard, but Bocek made a good move during transition.
gotta watch that Canadian jiu-jitsu :) We can do rubber guard with snow shoes. love George but I'd be torn just because Canuks are often seen as under dogs and don't get the respect they deserve.
Man Aussie's are way bigger under dogs haha
he cant out box him and even if he takes him down hes going to eat a bunch of half guard sweeps or rubber guard
FOR SURE
her was just pumped after he won
I also agree that George paid his dues, I think Edgar vs Sot or Maynard vs Sot are better matchups. Bocek should fight Jim Miller.
Bocek just fought and lost to Jim Miller.
Honestly, given where we are now and if they're up for it relatively soon, I'd do Sot - Miller as a title eliminator. Unfortunately, the Siver fight ruins that, so not really sure where to go. Miller has put together just as good a streak as George, against probably slightly better overall competition, so I'd support him for a title shot. He also has the interesting situation of his only two losses being to Edgar and Maynard, so...I think that can be spun into something. Miller fights the winner of Maynard/Edgar, with Sot getting the title shot to follow if he beats Siver?
Seems fair, albeit not ideal. Am I forgetting anyone else with a really long win streak at lightweight?
I felt this was just a Bocek stab at getting himself some higher ranked opponents and better paying fights. He has not fought the same level of comp as George. He was completely smashed by Danzig a couple of years back and I don't think his game has come up to the level that he will outclass George in any aspect of the game.
I do think its awesome that Georges is getting a target on his back and people are realizing that he is one of the guys that you have to go through to get to the top of the division. 2011 is gonna be huge for SOTs and 10th Planet.
