Tafon is similar to Phil Hawes. They both have championship talent, but they can't take a punch at all

Bro there were never any Darrius haters. Just people who gamble and are salty they lost their money.

Just further supports that Leininger belongs in the UFC imo.

Idk because I saw a few people saying he isn’t going to make it far in the UFC sounds like a hater to me. I think it’s more so that them losing money caused them to become haters

GigaChad translator is a highlight of Contender Series tbh.. We need to find out this man's name, he's dumb talented.


just found this about him : "His name is Fabiano Buskei. He's a businessman who works part-time as a translator for the UFC. He was born in Brazil, moved to the US in high school, went to college in the US. He also acts a Spanish translator, can speak Italian fluently, and German conversationally."

Ever since the pandemic and the UFC needed a tonne of guys to fill cards
This show is definitely more about getting fighters on $8/8k contracts rather than picking up the "best unsigned talent in the WORLD!!!!"

Yea you’re right that’s a lot more accurate, but there was still a ton of hate that came in right after he won, so there were still haters in a sense.

Fabiano Buskei. He's got a YouTube interview with ITP MMA.

Pretty cool from this contender series card Jesus Santos Aguilar now has the shortest male reach on the UFC roster and Cameron Saaiman is the youngest male on the UFC roster...

Nobody expect Flowers to but everyone's happy he did. He always shows up in people's prediction videos in the live chat and he has a Tapology. 

Build him, Aguilar, Gomes and Saiman up a bit. Especially Saimaan, the others less. Throw Parkin to whoever tf you want he loses any fight. Give him the Jamal Pogues treatment sink or swim motha****a

@Crimson, I think that’s a good take. The odds alone support that.
