Powell vs. Klose

This is the official discussion thread for Powell vs. Klose. Let's see what you've got.

Oh look, more underdeveloped lightweight prospects in a division that doesn't need them.  ******* UFC.  If there is anything they don't need more of, it is barely developed lightweight and welterweight fighters from the local regional scene.

"Nobodies"

Every UFC fighter has to make their debut. Someone who isn't well known right now can be a top contender after they've had the chance to develop and show off their skills. I'd much rather watch two debutantes fight than two washed up names whose best days are past them. It boggles my mind that people on here are willing to watch Pancrase cards filled entirely with fighters that have losing records and then call two newcomers that have consistently performed at a high enough level to be signed to the UFC going at it ****** as soon as it gets added to a UFC card.

@yasdas

We aren't asking them to sign washed up bums.  We are asking them to sign relevant names and talent who deserve to be in the UFC in divisions that need the talent like Heavyweight, Light Heavyweight, Middleweight, and Flyweight.  I am sick of seeing a bunch of Lightweights with barely 10 fights under their belt getting calls up when there are fighters who have records that are more than deserving of being looked at by the UFC.  Like how the **** does Anatoly Tokov get overlooked but these Lightweights I have never even heard of until just now get the call?

It's so dumb.

@Hornet, this isn't about the fighters ... this is about Dana loving his stupid show and wanting it to mean something as well as just be fun.

Truth us, he and Matt Serra couldn't smell a real prospect if he bit them in the ass.
