Hot Take Amosov is here. He's a problem.

[FrankDux]

As if 170 wasn't already the toughest division. Just got tougher. Been waiting for his chance in UFC for a while now.

1st round submission in debut vs Magny. Let's go.

 

[fendertach]

170 is stacked. Lots of exciting matchups on the horizon.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

He will be an excellent check for guy's ground games when he gets them there. Think he'll be a solid top 5 but get his chin cracked by the likes of Prates.

 

[FrankDux]

170 is the most insanely stacked division in the world. These guys would be T10 if they were in the UFC as well:

Ramazan Kuramagomedov 13-0
Shamil Musaev 18-0-1
Thad Jean 11-0

 

[FlyAmericanEagle]

He's top 7 easily

 

[HoiceNJuicy]

Amasov knows fighting, of all kinds. A true warrior. Respect!

 

[snugglecakes]

they should match him up exclusively vs Russians

 

[Blastbeat]

i can see him easily cracking the top 10. not sure about champ material, but he is definitely up in the top tier.

 

[Fact Checker]

Bro beat washed CTE Magny who was landing as he pleased let’s calm that down.


This is the same Bellator flunkie who got treated like cannon fodder by Jason Jackson lol


170 has too many real players to be thinking about a fluff Bellator guy

 

[jnes]

Give him Colbum

 

[Eternalwarriorking]

I'd like to see him against Buckley, maybe. He either runs through him to get into the fringes of contention, or Buckley showcase some important improvements. In any case, if he can't beat Buckley handily, I don't see any reason to entertain hopes of him as a contender.

 

[SaltedVinegarfootstomps]

Im really happy he made it in the UFC, but hes slow, and if he can't find the entry hes going to have problems against the top 10. I hope they bring him along carefully, with realistic tests. Magny can derail contenders sure, but there is a gulf between his gate and the pinnacle of the division.

 

[Dmac07]

No point slow playing him at his age and experience, straight to a top 10 match now. Belal, Brady or Buckley. Garry, JDM or Pratas after that if he wins.

 

[DrRodentia]

It is crazy he got flatlined by Jason Jackson. I'll strike that up as an anomaly.

Good test for both. Classic "grappler vs. striker" match. Unlike Usman, there's a good chance he could finish Buckley on the ground, but he could also get KO'd if he spends too much time standing.

Magny is 38. He's beyond gatekeeper years.

 

[DrRodentia]

Magny is 38. He's beyond gatekeeper years.

He did beat two fellow gatekeepers before tonight to maintain his place as ultimate keeper of the gate.

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

a worthy match up to future WW goat, paddy the baddy pimblet , fer sure b

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

they should match him up exclusively vs Russians

Him vs Petr Yan for revenge
