war Pantoja

Figueiredo really laid an egg his last time out, see if he can bounce back, but im picking Alexandre

 

[Yacob]

Flyweight division sucks.

 

[TheSpider]

Cejudo saved FLW

 

[Buffmeister]

Great match up

...Pantoja and Figueiredo are both exciting fighters to watch...
Should be a good one!

 

[VVarhead]

Not big into FLWs, but this fight is good. 2 exciting fighters.

 

[Buffmeister]

Cejudo saved FLW

With him now going up and fighting for the 135 belt...and lets say he wins it, pretty much kills the 125lbs div...

They gonna call him a double champ...but that will put a division on hold...
He will probably have to chose between weightclasses...or they tell him to put down a belt (125)...and scratch the division.
I hope that i'm completly off...

 

[Chad W]

nice fight for edmonton. pantoja looked good in his last but and figueiredo always brings the fight

 

[ZxxRnn]

I thought the FLW division was dead

[SalvadorAllende]

Cool fight!

Good to see they didn´t cut Figuereido after losing one. Maybe FLW has been saved after all.

The more weightclasses the better. I would even support 115lbs male weightclass if that means less FW/LW/WW generic wrestleboxers pointfighting eachothers in the early prelims.

 

[ApplesVild]

I don't really give a fuck about flyweights but that is a good fight

 

[theTKDguy]

Great matchup, should be exciting unless they respect each other too much and refuse to throw bombs.

 

[NicholasJBasile]

Deiveson Figueiredo is a solid fighter with some good stand up, but I haven't been as high on him as others. I personally felt he lost to Jarred Brooks and is still yet to address his suspect takedown defense/ground game. I like Pantoja in this quite comfortably.

It has like fifteen peoole in it. Yhe nr 15th got the spot without even having fought one bout in the UFC.

 

[GiSP]

Flyweight division sucks.

That’s because they traded MM away, and cut a shitload of top guys.

 

[drbolony]

The most exciting guys in the division imo. Sad that their future is uncertain, both these guys deserve better.

 

[whaleshark]

I’d like to hear my man Goldie call this fight just to announce those names!
He would be bumbling all over the place like the GOAT

Flyweight division sucks.
