He will be the back up for Khabib/Justin (please don't let that have to happen, we need this fight)
How do you see him fairing in the UFC? I don't think it's gonna go well for him. There are definitely fighters he can hang with but if they're gonna put him directly in the spot light, things could go bad.
Who do you think his first fight should be against? I'd like to see him fight Kevin Lee.

If they throw him in at the deep end, he's gonna drown. I think that either Beneil Dariush or Diego Ferreira would be interesting fights to watch. They are both fights that I reckon he could win but not too easily. As he was so successful in Bellator, I'd like to see him do well in the UFC as well. I can see him getting a title shot but I can't see him becoming a champion. I think he'll do OK though.

Yeah I like what I see here, kevin lee had an interesting point mike is on the small side.
He may have superior wrestling, muscling a bigger guy will gas him and leave openings.
Also he has shown at times a questionable chin not bad but not legendary.
I believe he will be way too fast and confident for gatekeepers top 10 is a must.
Age is a big factor he needs to make his title run in a year or so, light is a bout speed and volume and those will drop off with age.
What I like about mike is his versatility, he will have more weapons than most he faces.
