@danromanick Problem is she would never beat Nunes. She can already comfortably retire, but she wants legacy which she's never gonna get. Cyborg and Nunes eat her alive. Idk who the third Brazilian that's "ducking her" is but I'm gonna assume its Pacheco who's dying to fight her

Why did they give Taleb a dude that had only 3 career fights against dudes with well below .500 records. You are asking for a murder like what you just saw

It's pretty obvious my friend. It's business. That's what the PFL is. They sign a new hot prospect and they want his first fight in the promotion to be a win. You're a bit of an idealist. Lol

Sometimes the UFC signs dudes like Taleb to the contender series or TUF the year after cause the PFL really doesn't have these dudes not in the tournament on a long contract, so my guess is that he'll get his chance in a year or two

They scouted lots of talent on the uae warriors card that taleb fought on. The ufc was going to sign lok dog with a win, and he lost to taleb so the pfl jumped on taleb

I mean a lot of these refs are no joke. Copeland is obviously a bad MF. Jason Herzog is a BJJ black belt. Herb Dean was a MMA fighter. Beltran has a fighting background. 

Even Scott ****er of Bellator is a high level karate black belt though he doesn't look it. All these people are quite skilled. Except Dana who has a black belt in Bullshido.

Ali Taleb is a top 3 bantamweight prospect in the world. Oliveira was probably the #1 bantamweight prospect and Taleb beat him. The only other dude that you can say that is better is Lapilus, and he signed with the UFC, so Taleb is probably on a short list

I don’t think he’s too 3, but probably like top 20. There’s a lot of guys way better than him

@DrChaotic


About Talebs two amature losses.

Vidovic is a multiple national champion in Sweden and has several IMMAF international tournaments were he placed on the podium several times. And at the time he was more experienced then Taleb. He hasnt performed his best as a pro, think he had his best days.

Bawan Mohammad, dont know alot about him but he also won over Jonny Touma as an amature. Touma who also has IMMAF experience and now also has gone pro and won on UAE Warriors his last time out.

Mohammad though, he has gone underground.


So just want to say, as far as amature mma go, not the worst losses. Not commenting on Mafis record, pro or amature....

Eh they’re not the worst losses ever but for a man who beat Lok Dog I’d expect him to eat guys like that alive. Then again it was early on in his career and Oliveira was taunting a **** ton but still
