Look at his last three wins. This kid's going places, and he's clearly got the personality to sell himself.

Although dying your hair pink is a very lame thing to do in my opinion, it's hard to deny Thatch's skill. Finishing Chidi is a big deal.

Watch his last fight right here : https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151432667065316

The ending is pretty brutal...

Can't wait to see him at Instinct 4 this June! He should have a better challenge this time!

6 of his 7 wins are by TKO/KO in 53 seconds or less.
4 wins in less than 20 seconds.
Brandon Thatch is a killer!

Can Martin Grandmont stop him?

He has looked like a crazed beast lately. But for everyone saying he's going to do big things I'm not a believer yet. His only shot on a big stage granted it was a long time ago, he lost to a fighter who I've never heard of and a review of his record shows he is less than impressive.

His only shot on the big stage so far has been in his 2nd professional fight...Jason Miller had some issues in his 32nd professional fight...The guy Thatch lost a Split decision to was 5-1 at the time I'm sure experience played a role in that fight...I'm in no way saying Rukus is the next UFC champion, but he's gonna make some noise on that level and be a huge star...Just wait til you actually see him he has "It"

Had the chance to talk a little bit with him before the fight yesterday, very nice guy!

Can't wait for his next fight!

Tell him to let us know in advance next time he wants to pull out a submission win!

This guy is good. There's no other way I could say it. He's just good. I expect his UFC debut to happen sooner rather than later. Imagine, UFC 154 with Brandon Thatch.

He could stand with most guys at 170 and have a very good chance of winning

Technique is great an all but not alot trumps a guy who stands and bangs like Thatch does!

Obviously they won't give a newcomer to Erick Silva right now, but that would be an epic fight!!!

He lost a split decision in his second pro fight almost four years ago, I don't think anybody should hold it against him today. And to me after you get 7 first round stoppages in a row you can dye your hair any colour you want (true, if you dyed your hair pink and went 0-7, you would look like a ******). I wouldn't be surprised if he was signed with the UFC by this time next year.

Ever since Seth Petruzelli knocked the crap out of Kimbo Slice while sporting pink highlights, I've been A-OK with pink hair! Oh, and this guy sounds like a total badass! The UFC better sign this guy quick before he becomes Bellator's next big thing!

This guy finishes fights, would like to see him in a big promotion.
