What's the consensus for the next WW title shot anyways, Lawler vs. RDA?
@Myrddin Wild and
@Karnage let's take away all the hype for a second, what are your guys' thoughts on a realistic path to the title for Mike Perry?
Assuming he beats Ponzi and faces Till, then what?
I could get behind a title shot for Till or Perry so long as one of them gets starched. If it's not a particularly impressive victory another top 10 fight should be enough for a title shot imo.
Good Morning~
Pokesy & then Till would work... but I wouldn't mind one more in there. Also, consider that this is only Lawler's 2nd fight since losing to T.Wood... so while it's possible that he could get a shot after beating RDA... I like the idea of him getting at least one or two more.
So for Mr. Plat.... lets go Pokesy, Till, Lawler, T.Wood.
I'm in no hurry to rush Plat into a title shot personally. On one side of it is that it's a bird in the hand & take it if it's offered. On the other, he gets more & more dangerous & has been showing improvement in every UFC fight so far... especially that big transition to being more technical just before the Jouban loss. So the longer he waits, the better his chances of winning the belt, imo.
By the way, the resistance calls it BS that Plat was going through a Major transition during that Jouban fight... but that's the reason he lost. He went too technical... but then he found a better mix in his next 2 fights.
It's totally obvious if you just spend a bit of time to watch tape. All one has to do is watch that & his fight before & after it to know that it's true. It also came out of Plat's mouth
before the Jouban fight that he was making a transition to being more technical because he realized he couldn't make it to the top while getting hit so much.
So I don't mind letting it all continue to work out, but at the same time... he does seem to have a nice blend of brawler vs. technical going on all ready... so I'm fine with a quick shot as well.
