I've been trying to figure this guy out ever since he blew my prediction out of the water at 125 while pounding the divisions top contender. It also doesnt help that I cant find any video of his previous fights. What do you guys think the UFC will/should do with him?

this kid looks tough and looked super experienced in his last fight can't wait to watch him fight again.

He's in the mix after destroying Grispi. I think the winner of Omigawa/Mendes will most likely get the next title shot though.
