Do you think Horiguchi should get the next title shot? (Assuming Pantoja beats Van)

[Blastbeat]

Gooch came back to the UFC and club-n-subbed Tagir who has been top 15 for a while now. i dont think ive ever seen someone from Team Khabib subbed in the UFC before. Gooch looked great.

would you wanna see him vs Pantoja, provided Pantoja wins vs Van?

I say yeah! If Asakura could get a title shot in his first UFC fight, why not have Kyoji get one in his 2nd UFC fight? i think it would be a banger fight and one of Pantoja's toughest challenges.

I think Van will beat Pantoja, but cool with Horiguchi getting next shot in that scenario too

Would love to see Kyoji get the chance.

At this point he's got all the experience one could have at a high level. Still performing well, very well rounded. It would be fun for sure.

Also, great av. Classic Album. Second life is still tremendous.

Are they open to fighting each other?

I thought Pantoja and Horiguchi were friends and trained with the same team.

 

[Subline]

I want to see Pantoja vs Merab

Yep, Horiguchi called Pantoja out in his post fight interview.

I think no one would have a problem with this. Horiguchi is a respected vet and Tagir who was like 6-1 and is a legit top 15 looked like he does not belong in a cage with him. And if Pantoja wins, he’s beaten pretty much everyone else already.

Either TS or eliminator with Taira/Moreno or Royval/Kape winner.

Yes of course. Goochboy is getting older. Why force him to get wins and waste time? Pantoja has already cleared out the division basically, it's not like there's a long row of exciting title contenders..

Lets see if ole Pantsman gets past The Van first though. I always worry Pantsman is going to get KOed with how wild he can get on the feet and The Van could be the one that finally catches him real proper, and then we might have a rematch ahead of us.

Damn right Sherbro, Cianide is badass. I was fortunate enough to see them live at Maryland Deathfest one year. Good to see a fellow fan!

Yes
