Modestas sucks ass. Not happy to see him back in the ufc. He’s not an exciting can either

Modestas is a threat not sure how "good" he is but I don't see him giving up Tyson beat cans lately so what?

Modudus is less of a can then Hunsucker and Villuniva , But I still don't think he that good even for light heavyweight. Pedro getting another easy win before he fights a top 15 guy next

I can somewhat defend Pedro just because he took 4 or 5 years off, But It is becoming lame at the same time. 1-2 easy win are okish, But 3+ is lame IMO

I think Modestas might knock out Pedro tbh. Tyson has been feed nothing but cans since he came back, like literally his last two opponents where people that should’ve never even been in the UFC to begin with. 

If an old Shogun can knock you out then Modestas can most certainly starch you as well.

Modestas needs to change his coach who is his father. 
But I don't believe in him anyway, he has no fighter mindset

The only thing I don't like watching is seeing fighter like Edgar, T-Ferg and Shogun get slept or just getting destoyed, I think the only sadistic MMA fan are the ones who enjoyed seeing that,

I mean I think it was stupid of him to even say that he'd wait for a title shot after being on a 1 fight win streak by beating Ortega via injury (especially since we knew he'd obviously take the interim title fight no matter what) and it did seem like he was ducking Zabit for the longest time, but he's a good dude and is one of the most exciting athletes of all time, in any sport ever, And in hindsight we know that he would've fuuuuucked Zabit up. Especially in a 5 rounder
