Instead of spamming the boards everytime I see some cool news, I’ll post it here. I’ll also keep track of prospects I like, new signings to ufc/dwcs/Bellator/etc.

Who knows really. Both sides have agreed but they can’t seem to work out a date. Maybe it gets in 279; that card badly needs another name value fight

Not news but I just have to say that some of the other threads get so salty about who gets signed as if they didn't listen to Dana explain his choices. You don't have to agree with his reasoning, thats fine, but seeing people act as if they have no idea why so and so got signed or why they were brought to the show in the first place makes me question the intelligence of the fanbase lol

@Ayy I highly doubt 279 gets any more decent fights. Probably gonna load up the New York card so that the American audience can also get a stacked one like 280.

@random dude for real, I don’t see the problem with bo fighting twice at all. He’s gonna be in the ufc regardless. Even his manager said he’s basically in the ufc

Bo doesn’t need to be rushed in to the ufc. He can smash some opponent in September and be ready for the MSG card if they want to put him on there

I think people are just mad he’s not signed when they’re signing guys like doumbe and pereira. It’s pointless to complain because he’s going to be in the ufc regardless

I was just annoyed that Dana breaks his own ******** rules regarding the contender series. He constantly blabs on about how previous fights and experience don't matter and all that matters is your performance on the night. Yet he refuses to sign guys cause of lack of experience and signs a guy cause the division is weak. Still makes sense in a business way and i agree with Dana, i just think him breaking his own rules is stupid

Can't wait to see Bo in the UFC, reckon he'll run through middleweight

Bo is a special case tho; he’s not like the other guys respectfully. He’s a special prospect

@Baron Von Rattus

I really wanna see how Bo handles guys like Whittaker, Vettori, Muniz, and Bruson.

Whittaker is a nightmare matchup for like every guy in the division
Vettori with his strength and iron jaw would also be a hell of a task
He'd probably ko brunson running in like a spaz
Muniz would be very interesting, i reckon he'd get too comfortable in the guard and find himself in an armbar
tbf i don't see him fighting most these guys, reckon they're gonna feed him easier matchups perreira style till he gets to Izzy, a fight which he has a decent styalistic shot at.

Given that Brunson is ranked #4 and has some of the worst striking I’ve ever seen, and gets by on his wrestling alone, I think bo will have virtually no problems getting ranked at 185. He’s lucky he’s in 185 because I think they’ve got the least wrestlers in any division outside of 265 (they’re all fat tho so it doesn’t really count)

@Baron Von Rattus

He'll have to fight one of those guys eventually if he wants to get ranked.

Did Perreira have to? They probably give him like 3 or 4 unranked guys that try and shoot him up the division through like Hermanson. if Adesanya is still champ they'll probably give him a title shot based off the fact that he's beaten everyone else in the top 5. The most winnable matchup you mentioned was Brunson but i think he could do decent against Vettori and him vs muniz is kinda random. Whittaker would ko him imo.

I severely doubt that Adesanya will be champion by the time Bo reaches the top, and even if he is he's like the easiest stylistic matchup possible. I don't think being in a division with weak wrestlers matters for Bo though. He's not Pereira, and he's not some mid guy who relies solely on his above average wrestling. He could be in the most grappling heavy division and I think he'd out grapple 99% of the guys there. Whittaker is the only real nightmare matchup for him, but Whittaker's a nightmare matchup for anyone who's not an amazing striker with good takedown defense

I think they might take their time with him tbh. Not that he necessarily needs it but I don’t think we’re gonna see him go down the pereira path of 3 wins and a title shot. Especially given the fact he’s only 26. 185 is really shallow so naturally he gets like 4/5 wins and he’s already ranked but I don’t think he’s gonna get rushed to the top

Also I don't see why the UFC would fast track him to the title shot. He's a young up and coming prospect. Sure he's not 22, but he's way closer to that than a 35 year old Pereira. Plus there's no history with Adesanya. I'm not saying they're gonna make him go 10-0 before getting a ranked contender, but I really doubt they'll fast track him to the title shot either. Maybe 2 or 3 solid wins, ranked person, top 10 guy, and then a top 5 contender before getting the title shot at around 8-0

Nickal is way closer to being a baby in the sport than a veteran. Dude's not egregiously young (think Mokaev) but he's still young. Very young in fact
