MVP to the UFC!?!

[Bowel-forged Stool]

So paddy should wait like 2 years for MVP to beat 3 or 4 cans? Sounds like a plan

he should crush cans as well and set his sights on just being a popular fighter. I think it aligns with his potential more than chasing a title.

 

[Goldentrophy]

Time is ticking hopefully he makes the move as fast as possible.

 

[skylolow]

I think the MVP/UFC deal is done and all parties are just waiting to announce it regardless of MVP's recent comments.

MVP will get a top tier guy and the UFC needs to introduce him to fans as this killer fighter to justify/hype the fight to blow joe fan the right way at the right time.

Wonderboy would obviously be the fight to make, but he already said he wouldn't be interested. Which is a bummer and makes no sense.

I guess failing that you could give him a guy who will stand and bang it out with him like Garry or Luque.

I mean it does make sense, he’s still atleast murmuring about a title shot down the line, he’s not going to risk it for a guy that wasn’t even champion in bellator

 

[Fedora Millionankles]

Wonderboy...we can find out who's the real fuckin Ninja around these parts sir lol.

That would be Nate Diaz, sir. American Ninja, Ninja Gaiden, real muthafuggin’ ninja…

 

[Local Plata]

The dude is already 36. He will go to wherever offers him the most guaranteed money.

He's 40 and 3-4 in the last 5ish years, and only fights twice a year at best it seems. He should be taking winnable fights to maximize his earnings based on tenure and maybe even get kick backs for main eventing fight nights and whatnot. I doubt he gets another title shot unless he starts fight and winning more consistently, which is pretty unlikely given his age and history in the last several years.

He said he would be willing to fight usman to further his chance of a title shot and how a striker like Leon being champ gives him hope, this was less than 6 months ago

Oh I have no doubt that's what he wants. I'm saying it's probably not gonna happen on multiple fronts. UFC won't want to make Usman/Wonderboy, Wonderboy will likely lose to Usman anyway, even if he wins he's still at least 1 fight against a top contender away from a title shot given his losses to other contenders in the division in 2 of his 3 most recent fights.

youre probably right, I was just pointing out that title shot is on his mind

 

[JohnMandick]

He mostly puts on fun fights. Plus I enjoy watching him lose. So win win as a fan.

 

[StonedLemur]

Lmao...in all seriousness, Ninja Gaiden was an awesome game.

Thing is the WW division has too strong of grappling for MVP. Of course its fair to put together those fights, but he's better off with fun fights. Guess that's the same shit Bellator did.

 

[Royce Greasy]

He's not an extreme weight cutter, he's just tall. Never missed weight that I'm aware of

So what do you think his natural weight is because I'd say he is easily 215 or more and I'll use Storley as an example again because he also fought against Dante Schiro as well and there is no way Logan is as big as both of those guys I don't care what they weigh on a scale.

 

[Stick upkid]

Apparently it’s almost a done deal with MVP fighting holland. Holland vs wonderboy is one of the best fights from the last couple years and and MVP fight has potential for huge fireworks considering holland seems to prefer exciting fights to winning fights at times

 

[CieloLuce]

Give him Holland in a PPV card. And then fun fights from there.

Other than that, MVP won't make waves unless he gets the right match ups.

He's nowhere near 215.

 

[Royce Greasy]

He's nowhere near 215.

I think so, Khabib who is 5'10 walks around at 200lbs during his time in UFC I remember this distinctly because it was surprising and if I remember correctly Tony Ferguson did as well. MVP being 6'3 I'm sure at the very least when not weight cutting is 200 plus pounds easily.

MVP vs Leon in the uk could be huge

Downright disrepetful.

MVP vs Paddy is the kind of fight that could be done. Pity Paroddy Pimblet doesn't have the stones....
