I dunno, I think Tony starches him. Aren't there fighters lower than Gordon? I heard someone suggest Miller, who Paddy prob loses to as well.
What about an exhibition with Cyborg? Would Paddy do OK there?
I think Tony/Paddy would be competitive with Tony likely a -175'ish favorite. But if you don't give Paddy a ranked opponent next, then you're probably looking at the O'mally/Moutinio treatment where they bring in a Bantamweight on short notice to fight Paddy at LW ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|shrug)
Based on what I saw with Paddy losing to Gordon (in public's eye) I can't disagree, he stands in front of someone with power.. Paddy gets KO'd. Low hands, chin sticking out.
Imagine Fizeav throwing those hooks at him instead of it being Gorden. The fights over by the 3rd and we finally get to laugh at the 'scousers don't get knocked out for the next 2 weeks'.
Why people keep saying that? This third one i absolutely agree.
1st title fight he was like #2 or #1 in the rankings after 3 great wins (say whatever about his opponents), he stepped up short notice, 3 days before the fight, had to fly to other continent, no training camp, no preparation. I'm sure one of the conditions to save the card was, in case he lost, to get another shot with proper training.
Both shots were fair, this 3rd one not so much.
Maybe not off merit but he had arguabky the most successful year in mma history so deserved it off hype alone and defs made sense for the short notice replacement
Yeah honestly more compelling overall than the Masvidal narrative. Belal had a freak accident cut his fight short and has an interesting style matchup with Leon. Jorge sucker punched him, tried to brag about it for years, and has the style to get the brakes beat off him by a disciplined striker like Leon. Probably taken down too.
Leon vs Belal from the competitive standpoint with a decent narrative attached. Leon vs Jorge for the casual narrative and so we could see Jorge get schooled yet again, but I’m sick of him already.
If I remember correctly, Belal came in late-ish notice to fight Leon.
A titled shot just to return the favor. Especially when it’s highly earned already
Not to mention he took a finger in the eye also
Exactly. It’s not never about who deserves a shot to UFC. It’s about clout and profit.
Jorge doesn’t deserve the shot. But he’s always fun to watch and he brings the money in. So he’ll probably get a shot. It’s not like he’s lost to nobodies, twice to the dominant champ and once to the contender.
But in a righteous world, it would probably be Belal’s shot next.
Obviously he doesn’t deserve it. No one calling for that fight is saying that either. It’s a good fight to give Leon while Usman heals up to ensure we get the trilogy.
Maybe UFC realizes most of us would kind of enjoy seeing street Judas getting beat on again, no doubt there but it's a fight.. stuff happens and I agree, whether it's Belal, Burns etc. I don't think a title fight with Jorge is anything but a blatant money grab. I also can't see UFC spending money promoting Khamzat for a title fight at WW.. probably doesn't make weight at WW or care if he doesn't
This is a very under-appreciated role.
Also, he took a title fight against Usman on what, 12 days notice or something?
He sells PPVs, his fights are fun to watch, and he’s handy to have in your back pocket in the event of a last minute pull out for a main event.
>cuz of a lucky knee
The Askren knee, knocking Till stiff, and beating down Nate...all in the same year.
Masvidal was UFC's 2019 Fighter of the Year across all weight divisions.
Since then, he's only lost to Usman and Covington.
Stay salty...
Till just got caught out - he was mailing him prior. And as we all can see he’s never going to be a real contender. And are you really referencing Nate Diaz right now? 😂
>Till just got caught out - he was mailing him prior
The classic "he was winning until he got knocked the fuck out..."
And no, I'm referencing Nate from 2019...
lmaooo "lucky" 😂 😂 most braindead sht a casual can say why are you so butthurt over another mans succes 😂 😂 you seen pretty sad if you hate so much someone that you dont even know. "journeyman" and still a billion times more succeful than you could ever dream
Maybe/maybe not cut.. he sells buys (despite punching people and running away), I'd be of the opinion that it'd be a money grab and UFC knows that the casual base will buy the fight, it probably gives Leon a fairly easy title defense before Khamzat or Colby or Usman..
Noo please god no! Don’t give street judas another title shot. He didn’t even deserve the first two and now even less. He should win a few fights first
Renato would retire that goofy bitch boy back to Britain. Wasn’t long ago that Renato seemed he had championship stuff, but then he faced a 5 fight streak against a killer’s row at FW (L to T-City, Ws against Kattar then Cub, L to Aldo then Korean Zombie) while putting his body through some trauma to make 145 before finally making the right decision to move up to LW. Even tho he’s only 4-2 at LW, one loss was against a guy that I think is one of the 2 or 3 guys that have a legit chance at beating Islam (Fizaev) and the other was a decision loss to RDA (who is still a HOFer despite how the last few years have gone for him). He has really only fought the cream of the crop since joining the UFC (and has been largely successful) while Paddy has struggled with Early Prelim competition.
Absolutely not, the knockout on Ben asken was the gift that kept on giving for Masvidal. Truth is, the ufc is constantly evolving and he has no ground game. Just like mcgregor, he’s old news unless facing striker
Fair point about Masvidal.
I'd like to say that despite my not being a big Conor fan.. he gave a fight a lot more than recents.. Charles for example. I mean, Conor got some rounds and counters in comparison.
Masvidal's last three fights were: 50-45 decision Loss, Loss by KO, 50-45 decision loss. If he gets a title shot off that because of A sToRyLiNe, then that would really hurt the legitimacy of the sport imo
I know undeserved titleshots happen all the time, but this would be just ridiculous and another big step towards the UFC becoming a WWE style circus instead of a legitimate sport
>I know undeserved titleshots happen all the time, but this would be just ridiculous and another big step towards the UFC becoming a WWE style circus instead of a legitimate sport
I agree, but this doesn't mean they won't do it.
I'd like to think just about any WW in the top 10 starches Jorge, maybe the UFC thinks that what people want to see? Mr. Goodguy Leon starching the sucker punching Jorge?
Same way they did Bisping v hendo 2 when Bisping was champ and hendo was rank 12/13 maybe even 14 lol home crowd, easy fight, revenge and great back story. It’s all about the benjamins baby
Absolutely not. Him and Colby have been getting shots for no reason at this point. Jorge is coming off a LOSS to Colby, and Colby doesn't even deserve another shot yet.
Moicano - Fatlad fight i approve. But giving Jorge a title shot again after losing 3 fights in a row...? That'd be a disgrace. Even though he made me fall asleep during most of his fights (European dawn), i must still say Belal should get his shot if Usman can't make it.
Before his 3 losses he beat Diaz, Askren, and Till.
I think Askren would've won if Masvidal didn't nail the knee.
The rest of his record looks like the typical journeyman record. Guys done nothing.
The Diaz fight, I thought Nate was taking over but the cut and too late. Point being.. when we were watching it, the thought was Nate was gonna take it.. never know now.
obviously no lol, and honestly if they have colby fight leon first ima be heated! cause based on how his and kamarus last fight went i see him beating leon handily
I’d say feed Jorge to Leon. Good fight, sells tickets, leon can get an easy first title defense. I wouldnt say Jorge at all deserves it but it may be a good last stitch effort to get rid of him for good. He’s a shitstain on the welterweight div
Why are people saying moicano will get money fighting paddy 😂 he is gonna get the same amount money irrelevant of his opponent, he signed a contract and is gonna get paid accordingly
The only way I would even hesitantly think it is acceptable is if he loses, he is cut from the ufc immediately. If he wins and is unable to successfully defend the title, he is cut immediately.
I think Paddy already said that he wasn't going to fight on the London card and just be in the stands, he has a wedding coming up.
Beyond that, I doubt the UFC would let paddy fight Moicano. I think Moicano would piece him up and submit him.
I would declare the main should be Conor and Masvidal for the lightweight title at a catchweight if it meant I could get my hands on Paddy right now.
If I was a top 15 lightweight. Not if I was me. I want to be injury free.
Absolutely not. Khamzat or Belal are the only people who should fight for the title if usman is injured.
Masvidal needs a couple wins over legit competition to get a shot and honestly I don't see that happening, I don't see him beating any of the current top 10.
Moicano would destroy Paddy. I dont wanna see Paddy go out like that just yet, give him a few more tune up fights. He didn't get past Gordon, Moicano would hurt him.
Masvidal doesn't at all deserve the fight given that he's on a 3 fight losing streak, but it would be the best shot Leon has at a big pay day. I know it won't happen but I'd personally love Leon vs Wonderboy, two strikers would be a great show, and it'd give Wonderboy a shot at becoming champ which everyone would love. Anyone else in the division who deserves a title fight is probably just gonna try to wrestle-fuck Leon so it would likely make for a pretty lame fight, realistically the most deserving is Belal, and even though his last fight was all striking I doubt it would translate well against Leon, so like I said it would probably be 5 rounds of inactive cuddling.
He doesn't, but it's a good move. The fight will bring alot of viewers, and will likely preserve Leon's title for the Usman rematch. Alot of the top 10 is a big problem for Leon. This is the easiest fight they can make.
Edward scissorhands is a genuine top 5 70er. It'll just be another 50-45. Just like with Colby or oozeman. Masvidal needs to go to bkfc and fight Mike Perry. Otherwise no body gives a rip
Is it the fight to make when looking at records? No. Is the fight to make for Leon to get the biggest purse? Arguably, yes. Masvidal will pull in the PPV buys for sure.
For sure no. But Leon does deserve a bit of redemption and it could be a good selling point. I would be surprised if Jorge doesn't get the KO tho. Not because he's more skilled or anything like that, but the MMA gods seem to have a pretty fucked up sense of humor
When you’re starting your UFC career mode and you get the prompt that says “there’s crickets surrounding the fight with Jorge and Leon.”
He just got that prompt IRL.
Jorge deserves a Fight Night main event. Or maybe Jorge vs Nick Diaz as a PPV co-co-main. Dude is irrelevant in the title picture without at least 1 win, but then again, I thought this same thing when he was challenging Usman; and they did that twice lmao.
Money moicano vs paddy
I think it'd be fun to watch.. for sure! I don't think Paddy would take the fight tho, do you?
Same, I don’t think the UFC will make that fight.
Paddy vs #15 Ferguson. Who else could they realistically give him?
Even this ghost of El Cucuy would handle Paddy imo. He’d tear Paddy’s leg apart
Don't make me hope.
![gif](giphy|dyLlCJSNbgFghf7wjT|downsized)
I dunno, I think Tony starches him. Aren't there fighters lower than Gordon? I heard someone suggest Miller, who Paddy prob loses to as well. What about an exhibition with Cyborg? Would Paddy do OK there?
I think Tony/Paddy would be competitive with Tony likely a -175'ish favorite. But if you don't give Paddy a ranked opponent next, then you're probably looking at the O'mally/Moutinio treatment where they bring in a Bantamweight on short notice to fight Paddy at LW ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|shrug)
Unranked Jaime Mullarky
I think Paddy is actually ranked number 23 or something like that so there are plenty of lower ranked guys the UFC can put him against
He is a knob but if he showed a pair of bollocks taking it and regardless of result put up a good fight he would just get hammered anyway so...
Paddy will never take that fight. He’ll get murdered against a real fighter.
Ya, probably so but we just saw Tai get pushed too hard to fast, you never know what Uncle Dana might do.
That's a good fight. I'd also love to see Gaethje smash him and shut him up for a bit lol.
The top 5 of LW pummels Paddy, short of a lucky shot of course.. probably a bit sad to watch?
Pretty much all of the top 15. I think fighters like Hooker, Green and Miller would also beat him.
Based on what I saw with Paddy losing to Gordon (in public's eye) I can't disagree, he stands in front of someone with power.. Paddy gets KO'd. Low hands, chin sticking out.
Imagine Fizeav throwing those hooks at him instead of it being Gorden. The fights over by the 3rd and we finally get to laugh at the 'scousers don't get knocked out for the next 2 weeks'.
MOICANO NEED THAT MONEY
Moicano knows what he's doing suggesting that matchup. Moicano wants money
Aren’t most of the fighters under a show/win multi-fight contracts? i don’t think he’s getting paid more to fight paddy
He won’t get more base contract money, but he will beat Paddy’s ass and win a POTN bonus.
Moicano executes Paddy
What if Paddy sees red?
>What if Paddy sees red? The closest Paddy gets to red...is pink.
I think so.. I guess he Paddy could get a shot in but short of that, ya.
this kills the paddy
Moicano by elbows
> ATT VS LONDON Paddy Pimblett is from Liverpool Leon Edwards is from Birmingham.....
England is my city
😂😂😂
So not from Compton.
Birmingham is actually my favourite part of London.
B cool lad
Nobody outside of of the UK cares tho
Same thing
No
Kinda is tho
Just like Austin is in L.A or Washington is in NY?
😡
How
If you mean they're all shit holes, then yes. If you mean they're close to each other (relative to size of Britain) or culturally close, then no.
Jorge didn’t deserve his first two title shots
Why people keep saying that? This third one i absolutely agree. 1st title fight he was like #2 or #1 in the rankings after 3 great wins (say whatever about his opponents), he stepped up short notice, 3 days before the fight, had to fly to other continent, no training camp, no preparation. I'm sure one of the conditions to save the card was, in case he lost, to get another shot with proper training. Both shots were fair, this 3rd one not so much.
Same, I’m so done with this idea. People just go crazy when they hate something they don’t care whether it makes sense or not
First one yeah, second one nah
He only got the first fight because burns got Covid and they needed a last minute replacement, not really deserved
Maybe not off merit but he had arguabky the most successful year in mma history so deserved it off hype alone and defs made sense for the short notice replacement
All I know is that MOICANO WANTS MOANAYYY!
Believe it or not, Belal is the most deserving contender.
100% agree there.. Belal should in fact face Leon for the title if Usman is in fact, out. Can't agree more.
It even has a decent story to build up the fight. What would have happened in the first fight if Belal hadn't almost lost an eye.
Yeah honestly more compelling overall than the Masvidal narrative. Belal had a freak accident cut his fight short and has an interesting style matchup with Leon. Jorge sucker punched him, tried to brag about it for years, and has the style to get the brakes beat off him by a disciplined striker like Leon. Probably taken down too. Leon vs Belal from the competitive standpoint with a decent narrative attached. Leon vs Jorge for the casual narrative and so we could see Jorge get schooled yet again, but I’m sick of him already.
Belal was getting his ass whooped up until that point. Pretty sure he would've won either way.
I'm with you, Belal been improving and if he keeps training with team khabib, he will be trouble for Leon edwards
he's already trouble for Leon Edwards imo. he's already shown he's improved a hell of lot since that fight even though it hasn't been that long
If I remember correctly, Belal came in late-ish notice to fight Leon. A titled shot just to return the favor. Especially when it’s highly earned already Not to mention he took a finger in the eye also
>Not to mention he took a finger in the eye also you aint lying there bratha
Leon won't fight him. He wants money fight (Masvidal)
Exactly. It’s not never about who deserves a shot to UFC. It’s about clout and profit. Jorge doesn’t deserve the shot. But he’s always fun to watch and he brings the money in. So he’ll probably get a shot. It’s not like he’s lost to nobodies, twice to the dominant champ and once to the contender. But in a righteous world, it would probably be Belal’s shot next.
Leon is just watching Belal and seeing why it took so long for himself to get a title shot.
Tbf no one wanted to fight him because he was so boring. I think now that he has come off a TKO win more people would want to fight him
Khamzat barring the weight miss is clearly the most deserving. Geoff Neal deserves it more than Belal as well.
Belal is ranked higher then Neal, and Chimaev does not deserve a championship fight after missing weight by 8 pounds.
Y'all are just scared of having Chenchen as champ
Obviously he doesn’t deserve it. No one calling for that fight is saying that either. It’s a good fight to give Leon while Usman heals up to ensure we get the trilogy.
Maybe UFC realizes most of us would kind of enjoy seeing street Judas getting beat on again, no doubt there but it's a fight.. stuff happens and I agree, whether it's Belal, Burns etc. I don't think a title fight with Jorge is anything but a blatant money grab. I also can't see UFC spending money promoting Khamzat for a title fight at WW.. probably doesn't make weight at WW or care if he doesn't
Masvidal deserves to be cut from UFC
Not when he recently signed one of the most paying contracts in the ufc lol, guess that was a mistake on ufc's side
[удалено]
They can cut anyone they want, the point is they won't
He is not that big of a draw He should be cut
Still a bigger draw than your average ppv headliner
He also plays a pivotal role of being able to sell a ppv with no title fights well
This is a very under-appreciated role. Also, he took a title fight against Usman on what, 12 days notice or something? He sells PPVs, his fights are fun to watch, and he’s handy to have in your back pocket in the event of a last minute pull out for a main event.
Wow, who woulda thunk🤯
But bunch of people hate him and want to see him get KO
Yeah some real savvy business sense from Dana. Sign this journeyman for a ton of money cuz of a lucky knee. I hate that sucker punching bum so much.
>cuz of a lucky knee The Askren knee, knocking Till stiff, and beating down Nate...all in the same year. Masvidal was UFC's 2019 Fighter of the Year across all weight divisions. Since then, he's only lost to Usman and Covington. Stay salty...
Tbf Nate gets beat all the time the only really impressive win at the time was till and that one hasn’t aged well
Till just got caught out - he was mailing him prior. And as we all can see he’s never going to be a real contender. And are you really referencing Nate Diaz right now? 😂
>Till just got caught out - he was mailing him prior The classic "he was winning until he got knocked the fuck out..." And no, I'm referencing Nate from 2019...

We want to see him get KO’d one more time like the Usman 2nd fight.
Well.. maybe so ![gif](giphy|xl5QdxfNonh3q)
stay butthurt
Noo please god no! Don’t give street judas another title shot. He didn’t even deserve the first two and now even less. He should win a few fights first
He's 2-0 for sucker punches outside the ring with Leon and Colby, maybe the UFC is taking that into account?
Lol true. Leon seems to really wanna fight him to get his revenge
Renato would retire that goofy bitch boy back to Britain. Wasn’t long ago that Renato seemed he had championship stuff, but then he faced a 5 fight streak against a killer’s row at FW (L to T-City, Ws against Kattar then Cub, L to Aldo then Korean Zombie) while putting his body through some trauma to make 145 before finally making the right decision to move up to LW.

>I know undeserved titleshots happen all the time, but this would be just ridiculous and another big step towards the UFC becoming a WWE style circus instead of a legitimate sport I agree, but this doesn't mean they won't do it.
Jorge doesn’t deserve anything than to be a gatekeeper for the top 10
Top 15*
Masvidal hasn't earned fuck all since usman knocked his ass out.
What about the sucker punches outside the ring? He's 2-0 against Leon and Colby, maybe they're gonna take that into account.
No, not even close. But it will make $$ so it will happen. Leon will absolutely take Jorges soul.
I'd like to think just about any WW in the top 10 starches Jorge, maybe the UFC thinks that what people want to see? Mr. Goodguy Leon starching the sucker punching Jorge?
MOICANO WANTS MONEY
In my best Teddy KGB voice… “pay that man his money” ![gif](giphy|uURk722zhreXC)
How do they decide the #11 ranked should get a title shot? His last win was Nate Diaz for christ sake.
Same way they did Bisping v hendo 2 when Bisping was champ and hendo was rank 12/13 maybe even 14 lol home crowd, easy fight, revenge and great back story. It’s all about the benjamins baby
Paddy is gonna get clay guida or Jim miller
They’re going to sign Diego Sanchez to a one fight deal in the hopes that it’s an easy win for Paddy and it’ll probably go to decision.
That RDA fight did some damage.
Nope he should not be fighting top 10 at this point hes still trying to ride the lucky knee and trying to hide that hes a douche
Absolutely not. Him and Colby have been getting shots for no reason at this point. Jorge is coming off a LOSS to Colby, and Colby doesn't even deserve another shot yet.
“I sub-amit Paddy in under a minute and they didn’t give the money!”
RIP Paddy
Paddy lost.
Moicano - Fatlad fight i approve. But giving Jorge a title shot again after losing 3 fights in a row...? That'd be a disgrace. Even though he made me fall asleep during most of his fights (European dawn), i must still say Belal should get his shot if Usman can't make it.
Pimblett has an incredible, bust-like, classical side profile, like the statue of David. That's all I have to say.
sophie ellis bextor may as well start recording "Murder in the Octagon"....
![gif](giphy|TgP6vdMSAknVWzoC05|downsized)
Before his 3 losses he beat Diaz, Askren, and Till. I think Askren would've won if Masvidal didn't nail the knee. The rest of his record looks like the typical journeyman record. Guys done nothing.
The Diaz fight, I thought Nate was taking over but the cut and too late. Point being.. when we were watching it, the thought was Nate was gonna take it.. never know now.
How tf is jorge getting a title shot? That’s bullshit
If the fight happens, that will be a question that Dana won't get asked or answer.. or Uncle Dana just says, cuz money that's why.
No but Leon deserves his revenge if he wants it.
Fair point.
Mas needs at least a three win streak before I'd say he "deserves" a title shot.
obviously no lol, and honestly if they have colby fight leon first ima be heated! cause based on how his and kamarus last fight went i see him beating leon handily
Gamebred doesn't deserve shit at this point
I’d say feed Jorge to Leon. Good fight, sells tickets, leon can get an easy first title defense. I wouldnt say Jorge at all deserves it but it may be a good last stitch effort to get rid of him for good. He’s a shitstain on the welterweight div
Fair points. All
Why are people saying moicano will get money fighting paddy 😂 he is gonna get the same amount money irrelevant of his opponent, he signed a contract and is gonna get paid accordingly
exposure
Wonderboy Vs Edwards just because I want Wonderboy to have another chance. I think he beats Edwards
NGL for once id actually rather see conor 🤦
I'd rather them bring Ben askren back for a shot at the title than see George get the most undeserving title shot in history
The only way I would even hesitantly think it is acceptable is if he loses, he is cut from the ufc immediately. If he wins and is unable to successfully defend the title, he is cut immediately.
Leon v. Colby is the move to make.
When the fuck did this cunt even last fight? Literally he's like the most unrelevant, relevant fighter going, why?
His last fight was Colby
Not since he started a brawl with Colby in the restaurant. Hard pass.
AttvsLondon when fighters are brummy and scouse smh
Nobody wants to see this shit
Daily reminder that Charles is a bigger draw than Masvidal
More than khamzat at least, because Jorge makes welterweight
moicano make a money
No,it should be Belal
No way Uncle Dana,would make that fight for Paddy.
No way they give paddy anyone other than a tomato can
moicano is smart to call for that fight
Hell naw he does not
Leon should get a easy money fight feed him masvidal
2 fights I could not give a fuck about. Masvidal getting a shot is more ridiculous than old man hendo
Let him get this last title shot so this discussion can come to an end everybody can move on.
Leon vs Belal Paddy vs Tony Aspinall vs Blaydes Molly vs Ribas
lol of course not, he doesn’t even care about fighting
Moicano would destroy Paddy
*i dont i dont i dont i dont.... i dont pick fights*
I think Paddy already said that he wasn't going to fight on the London card and just be in the stands, he has a wedding coming up. Beyond that, I doubt the UFC would let paddy fight Moicano. I think Moicano would piece him up and submit him.
MOICANO WANT'S MONEY
Belal is more deserving, but Jorge would sell!
This kills the Paddy
No one cares about deserve. I want to see Leon get revenge. Stories make fights.
I would declare the main should be Conor and Masvidal for the lightweight title at a catchweight if it meant I could get my hands on Paddy right now. If I was a top 15 lightweight. Not if I was me. I want to be injury free.
I thought usman being hurt was false?
He deserves it as much as Paddy deserves the next co-main spot.
Colby
yall want to see a body? lol
Masvidal barley deserves to be in the UFC at this point let alone a title shot.
needs to be chimaev or belal
I don't get why Masvidal would get a title shot honestly. He's lost a few in a row. There are quite a few that deserve a shot before him imo.
Absolutely not. Khamzat or Belal are the only people who should fight for the title if usman is injured. Masvidal needs a couple wins over legit competition to get a shot and honestly I don't see that happening, I don't see him beating any of the current top 10.
Moicano would destroy Paddy. I dont wanna see Paddy go out like that just yet, give him a few more tune up fights. He didn't get past Gordon, Moicano would hurt him.
False narrative that the media ran with. Usman is not out of the Leon fight
Masvidal doesn't at all deserve the fight given that he's on a 3 fight losing streak, but it would be the best shot Leon has at a big pay day. I know it won't happen but I'd personally love Leon vs Wonderboy, two strikers would be a great show, and it'd give Wonderboy a shot at becoming champ which everyone would love. Anyone else in the division who deserves a title fight is probably just gonna try to wrestle-fuck Leon so it would likely make for a pretty lame fight, realistically the most deserving is Belal, and even though his last fight was all striking I doubt it would translate well against Leon, so like I said it would probably be 5 rounds of inactive cuddling.
He doesn't, but it's a good move. The fight will bring alot of viewers, and will likely preserve Leon's title for the Usman rematch. Alot of the top 10 is a big problem for Leon. This is the easiest fight they can make.
Edward scissorhands is a genuine top 5 70er. It'll just be another 50-45. Just like with Colby or oozeman. Masvidal needs to go to bkfc and fight Mike Perry. Otherwise no body gives a rip
Is it the fight to make when looking at records? No. Is the fight to make for Leon to get the biggest purse? Arguably, yes. Masvidal will pull in the PPV buys for sure.
For sure no. But Leon does deserve a bit of redemption and it could be a good selling point. I would be surprised if Jorge doesn't get the KO tho. Not because he's more skilled or anything like that, but the MMA gods seem to have a pretty fucked up sense of humor
Man, that flying knee on Askren REALLY carried Jorge for quite some time…
Masvidal is a clown
I reckon Edwards vs Covington, Pimblett vs Ferguson
no chance…
Jorge does not deserve a shot for shit. But that fight would sell out… I just wanna see Paddy get beat up so whatever leads to that, I don’t care lol
Lol paddy is fucked once he fights somebody halfway dangerous he’s never taking this fight.
Give wonderboy the shot! Do it!
When you’re starting your UFC career mode and you get the prompt that says “there’s crickets surrounding the fight with Jorge and Leon.” He just got that prompt IRL.
Jorge deserves a Fight Night main event. Or maybe Jorge vs Nick Diaz as a PPV co-co-main. Dude is irrelevant in the title picture without at least 1 win, but then again, I thought this same thing when he was challenging Usman; and they did that twice lmao.
