Media Borralho wants to step in for Fluffy vs RDR, proving 'p****' Costa a point

[Unheralded Truth]

Borralho is ready to get back in there quickly, and sees no problems going 5 rounds despite time of notice:



Like most Brazilian fighters, he's just another one with no respect for Costa at all. Thoughts?

 

[Nobru]

I wonder the results of all these recent weight cuts by Borralho, but if he thinks he can do it, why not

 

[Luthien]

Might as well stack up those coming losses quickly, I guess

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

Nerds need a W bad...

 

[Rhood]

Better matchup than Costa

 

[Gilday]

I mean, I rate him for wanting to get right back in there and redeem himself

 

[Safton]

Last time Caio started talking about how someone was injured and offering to step in, he ended up with egg on his face.

Besides, I'd rather see this fight remain intact and get rebooked unless it's something major. It's too intriguing of a stylistic match-up. Meanwhile, Borralho needs to take some time off. Multiple weight cuts in a small time is just asking for it, plus he sounded really deflated and mentally checked out after his loss -- he all but said he needed to take some time away to reorient himself and his game.

 

[PurpleDrank]

Nah, take some time and improve. Even though he might just beat RDR because styles make fights.

Absolutely moronic idea and I hate that the UFC even offers this type of unprofessional bullshit.

Costa x Fluffy will be fun, bummed that RDR is out.

Isn’t fluffy that is out ?

 

[Aurelian]

Isn’t fluffy that is out ?

It's not confirmed who it is yet I don't think. Just one of them is out.

 

[Hymen Crusher]

Oh i think he would beat rdr. I think he is a better fighter. I would root for rdr but I dont like that fight for him

Speculation was RDR because Costa said it was a "top 5 opponent" and he qualifies, where Fluffy is #6

there's another thread here saying RDR is fightin Allen

 

[GrantB13]

"I lost a potential #1 contender fight so I'm gonna volunteer myself for another potential #1 contender fight." In what way should he get that reward for a loss?

I'm just going off Paulo Costa's public statements. He's posted that he's fighting as replacement for a top 5 fighter.

well the ufc has posted that RDR is fighting Allen so whatever Costa is talking on twitter might be nonsense

Paulo said he did not want to fight 5 rounds (requested 3) and so here we are.

RDR -vs- Allen is still a fun fight though should be a good one, big opportunity for Allen and RDR will be the favorite for sure.
