Can John Pork take on Topuria?

[Motivated BJ Penn]

If Islam wins the 170 belt we might see John Pork taking his place at LW. The guy has dagi wrestling + world class muay thai, thats a tough combo to beat for Topturo, as hes been shown susceptible to kicks.

When pigs fly.

He has a long way to go to reach the upper elites of the LW division. The real question is: if Topuria choose to defend his belt, how long will he stay in the UFC for ? (Big if)

This is hogwash

If his MT was world class he'd have finished that bum he fought on DWCS.

And Topuria getting hurt with a headkick once doesn't mean he's susceptible to kicks haha. By that logic, Islam has shown he's susceptible to punches because he once got dropped and finished with one.

Topuria would run right through John Pork. It wouldn't even be competitive.

No, John Pork is good and might well be ranked someday but he isn't the kind of level to be a threat to Topuria


Annoyingly the only guy out of that gym other than Islam who I think potentially could be a threat to Topuria is Amru Magomedov and he just signed for PFL after getting tired of waiting for UFC.

John pork is the only one who can challenge Ilia.

John Pork for the belt!!

 

[Kratos94]

No, he gets put to sleep. He is a fun fighter, but got dropped by someone levels below him.

Wasn't his ex-wife independently very wealthy? Depending how that divorce goes and if he has child support plus it feels like he was living above his salaries means before.

I don't see how he quits. We have a case here were Dana will no longer have to worry about too much money ruining Ilia

My bump of trouble tells me to worry about Ilia: If if Ilia defends, I can see him retiring with a clean legacy and chasing more money elsewhere (outside of MMA). . . and if he loses, his legacy is tarnished and I'm not sure he would/could continue in MMA/his headgame/ego wouldn't allow it. Hope I'm wrong on both hypotheticals.

Man this thread got me hungry

 

[Limeade]

What's Jalin Turner doing these days? Send him to John Pork.

JT versus JP.

 

[gracie_barra_samurai]

UFC needs to get Chanco on big events ASAP.

The John Pork thing turned him into a megastar somehow.

I still don't understand what John Pork is in the first place though. But it's funny as hell.

You are what you eat.

John Pork for the belt!!

I, for one, can't wait for the John Pork Era.
