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.

I was not impressed with Rebecki in his UFC debut, but that might've been him having nerves and underestimating his opponent

Oh **** page 420 ha

What a coward, take your beating especially if you started it.... I suppose he views his beatdown suffered as a cash cow moment by suing Nate... I dunno I took beatings in the streets 1 or 2 brutal ones where I could have spent a day or 2 or more in hospital, never ratted never will

Then again I wasnt beaten down by a famous fighter worth alot

I agree, they're going after Nate just because of money just to see if they can get something out of him. 

I'm not a lawyer and I have zero legal experience, but from what I've seen in the original video, and the new one posted by Ariel Helwani today, I can't see how Nate is at fault. The entire time he's running away from the guy and he's being chased down, then when he's cornered he defends himself and walks away from everything. Like to me it seems that even if they wanted to argue "Nate started it" in the two videos posted Nate is clearly getting away so all I can see is him just using self-defense.

Kelvin gastelum is going down to WW. He said he got the ufc to agree and will be fighting at 170 in September. I think now that he’s at a camp like Fight Ready, I think he will be able to make the cut

Thats good for him diet and training is more important than cutting like all the muscled gorillas at 185

if Kelvin's chin holds up and he can make the weight, I can honestly see him challenge for the belt. Idk if he can be champ, but I definitely see him be able to get a win streak and fight for the belt

I'm not sure if he does that good, I don't think you can go 1-5 in 6 fight in your prime and be a top fighter tbh, You can make excuse about it about him being small, and fighting top guys, But it doesn't matter because he still lose that many fights, Also hard to be on top in  a division with Edwards, Usman Khamzat, Shavkat, Burns, Colby, Belal, JDM, etc, Compare that to middleweight which isn't  nearly as good

I don't think he makes the top 5, Maybe he can make the top 10

you're overselling how bad his 1-5 run is

incredibly close fight against the goat of the division israel
incredibly close fight against prime till 
incredibly close fight against cannonier whos a top contender right now having beat brunson and strickland
random sub loss to hermansson
clear loss to whittaker whos one of the mw greats and currently the clear cut #1 contender in the division by far

jdm is really good but untested, its unfair to be comparing him to a savvy vet who has fought everyone in gastelum, i think gastelum at fight ready could edge out close decisions against colby, burns and belal in 3 round fights

it's really fluid and i think with a bit of luck he could make top 5

Fun points and arguments lets see if kel can keep his weight down he does the rest plenty well.

@baremaras

Agree with you that the duck is overselling the significance of the 1-5 run since it was all against the very best of the MW top 10 and many were competitive and close decisions. That said, Gastelum had some cardio issues at 170lbs probably exacerbated by the weight cut and poor self discipline at the elite level before moving up.

170lbs is significantly deeper than 185lbs. Gastelum might only be 31 but I've noticed a visible slow down from him and he's taken a lot of damage, he's likely out of his prime at this point. He just fought Chris Curtis and if it wasn't for the headbutt likely lost that decision, Curtis also a former WW who wasn't exactly able to make waves in that division. The sad thing is, if Kelvin got his **** together and stayed at 170lbs when he was young I think he coulda been a champ and gave guys like Colby, Usman and Leon some real damn issues but I also think that ship has sailed. Plus,n who's to know if he even actually makes the weight.
