George Sotiropoulos showed once again on Saturday night that he’s one of the best ground fighters in the lightweight division in mixed martial arts, submitting Joe Lauzon with a second-round kimura at UFC 123.

“I want to face the best, I want to earn what I get, I want to make a case for the belt,” Sotiropoulos said after the win, which improved his record to 14-2. “I’m going to keep making that case.”

Sotiropoulos is making the case that he deserves a lightweight title shot, and he’ll get that shot in 2011 if he keeps winning.
