They probably don't even have a stake. They just can't handle being wrong.

Also he never fought an opponent with a winning record. That's why never looked bad lmao. Pretty easy to win all your fights when you're fighting literal bum nobodies with losing records. The only few people he fought that had "winning records" were also can crushers who fought nobody but debuting guys and went on losing streaks after fighting him, and those were all in the amateur days. As a pro he has zero even low level wins, they're all bottom of the barrel trash. So excuse my disdain for him but I think he's nothing special and would probably lose to even the Vanderaas of the division since they know what a takedown is. Like I said though, maybe he'll show something in the future but right now pbbt 💩

Denise Gomes had a really entertaining fight and deserved to get a contract, but she did not look very good. She showed good cardio and seemed to be hurting her opponent but also showed she was hittable and kept spamming very telegraphed spinning attacks. However, she always brings the fight like that; just see her Milania dudieva fight, it was a brawl like this one. 115 is pretty deep so I don’t see her having much success, but against the lower level opponents she could have success. Take caochioera for example, you can win fights if you just rush some girls because they don’t know what to do. Overall I think she’s gonna beat the trash but won’t really be very good. They’re likely just gonna match her up with exciting fighters.
The best prospect on this card was saaiman. I was really high on JWK but saaiman toughed it out and brutally ko’ed JWK in the third. He showed a well rounded skillset and a good chin. He was getting out matched in the striking at first but once JWK slowed down he took over with his pressure. Bantamweight is a shark tank but I think saaiman has a lot of potential and will win a bunch of fights, maybe even be ranked
I really don’t think Aguilar is gonna be that great. He beat a really low level fighter and made a ton of mistakes on the way. He kept screwing himself with takedowns and was getting lit up on the feet in the first. I had no clue he had trex arms and that’s gonna be really difficult for him going forward. The only thing he really does well is that guillotine choke. Maybe he will win a few fights but I think he’s gonna be cut by next year
(Don’t hate on me flowers this is just my opinion) flowers seems to be in great shape and looks very improved since his last few fights. That being said, it wasn’t the most convincing performance but he did legitimately win as a big dog and takes short notice fights so I kinda get why he got the contract. All this being said, I really don’t think he’s gonna win many ufc fights. He’s got some dog in him and isn’t scared to brawl so he will probably be entertaining, and I can see him koing some people in the ufc, but I really don’t see him having much success.
Parkin just looks like another low level heavyweight. It’s so hard to find quality heavyweights so I don’t mind the signing but I don’t think he’s very good. His striking looked sloppy and his skills everywhere seemed meh. Also doesn’t help his opponent had 30 seconds of gas and was absolutely clueless on the ground, but still, you wrestle most heavyweights and they’re gonna get swarmed. At least he showed good fight iq. Maybe hr can beat some cans but he likely stays in the bottom of the division

Wang-Kim did it to himself, backing up against the cage so much when Saaiman was throwing bombs the whole fight only evading to 1 side.
Saaiman made that man meet his maker omg..
