monito del monte

no one is ever “gone fishin” anymore

@WeekenderMMA Yikes

I’m taking Shem Rock to get the dub for two reasons 1. Al Selwady trains out of Fortis MMA probably the most cursed MMA gym in America. 2. Selwady doesn’t have a chin. I’m visualizing him getting hurt shooting a sloppy takedown and Shem jumping on the back for a RNC.

Chito has zero killer instinct. At some point, someone took his spark away. So many situations where he sets up Martinez to just not capitalize at all.

@BenTheBaneDavis Wouldn’t hate seeing him fight Jhonata Diniz then maybe the loser of Delija/Spivac before he’s thrown into the top 7 or so.

Jokes aside the dude is skilled and it was a solid demolition of a punching bag I’d say he’s far from a showdown with a Top 5 HW but with how dog shit the division is he will likely be ranked by the end of the year so who knows

POV: the corniest heavyweight on the roster

@katzenconaisseu Agreed - I think he’d have to get 2-3 more to be considered in my eyes. But the UFC loves their honorary Nelk boy

@miansfiant o malley shouldnt fight for the title ever again mate

Matchmaking after #UFC323 MAIN CARD •Petr Yan vs Umar/O’Malley* •Joshua Van vs Pantoja II/Taira* •Brandon Moreno vs Kyoji Horiguchi •Payton Talbott vs Marcus McGhee •Jan Blachowicz vs Volkan Oezdemir •Bogdan Guskov vs Dominick Reyes

Otherwise let’s see Van vs Taira. Curious if the UFC would move some things around to get Van a title defense on the Houston card, but I doubt they’d put it on a FN Card or upgrade it to a numbered event. Don’t hate Van vs Taira being added onto UFC 325.

Depending on damage and recovery time Pantoja may need some time away. A rematch would be the obvious choice but we also have two fresh, young talents: a matchup to continue building the Asia market. If Pantoja is good, let’s run it in Q1 (..on the Holloway/Oliveira card?)

Okay let’s do Tatsuro Taira vs Joshua Van in Japan #UFC323
