Not a hell of a lot of upside here for MVP.

MVP just had a competitive fight with an undefeated top 10 guy who is reasonably close to title contention.

That's not even a step down, that's an awkwardly long elevator ride with a layover in Albuquerque.
Yeah he was a few strikes shy and got 1/2 backpacked from beating the #7 guy, the fight was close enough to make everyone collectively reanalyze judging criteria for scoring fights.
 
Intriguing fight but weird one to put a very promising rising contender against a very complicated and dangerous fighter in MVP

Baffling match making even tho I'd be interested in it lol
 
didnt expect this one.

not sure if mvp takes this though, he's on borrowed time.
 
Zero Upside for MVP to take this fight.

Put MVP against Leon. It makes sense now. Also keep leon far far away from the title because he's a boring fighter with an even more boring personality

The #1 WW fighting #13 WW who lost his last fight makes sense? Is that how you think UFC matchmakes?

Yeah Leon isn't getting an immediate rematch but he's probably 2 *good* wins from getting back into a title shot. Leon Edwards vs Ian Garry makes way more sense & Leon's team has expressed interest in the fight.

Yes.

I don't think the UFC is going to match MVP up like he lost his last fight.

I also think the UFC is going to put Leon further away from the title. I also think Brit Vs Brit in the UK is lucrative matchmaking and the UFC won't want to miss that boat. And since no one cares about Leon (cause he sucks too watch, let's be honest) that's the most appealing fight they can make with him.


I also made a thread last march about rountree getting a title shot against Pereira and why it made sense, I got laughed out of the room, but here we are.
 
Would be fun, but i expect Page will be looking for bigger name value.
 
Yes.

Thought I remembered someone calling for Rountree and Alex somewhere before the fight was announced.
 
In my head MVP is more of an attraction than a competitive fighter who will take on all comers - but I'm not sure that's fair.

Bellator booked him a certain way, but that doesn't mean much.

Maybe he will take this fight.

I think you're approaching the matchmaking with your own biases rather than viewing it as UFC would. They aren't going to give old ass MVP a fight he doesn't deserve like that, anyone who beats Leon next is fighting for a title.

Regardless of how you view Leon's fighting style or lack of charisma etc, he's a clean cut British fighter who for the sake of that market alone they aren't going to put him miles and miles away from another title fight.
 
MVP would run a lot, I don't like that fight for Prates.
