It's sad but not every young prospect is guaranteed a meteoric rise to the top.

At least he got in there and tried.

Give him time bro
He could fight for another 20 years considering his current age
 
Matching him up against Fitch didnt make sense even tho he almost tapped him. He was a decent fighter but just never special
 
time to put this prospect talk to an end... and jump his career skipping the veteran status and call him what he is... an old legend ala Vitor and he should be only fighting in legend fights.
 
They just have to bring him along slowly. Give it time, his future is bright.
 
It's ridiculous throwing him to the wolves. If this was boxing he'd still be fighting guys with 0-1, 0-2, 1-2 records, give the prospects a chance to develop!
 
He'll always be a prospect to me, DAMMIT!!

He'll probably go on a legendary run after this. Give the boy time.
 
He's just a prospect in their eyes because he is so short and looks like he is 18 still.

True enough. He's still only like 24, but it feels like he's been around forever. And yet Rogan and the UFC still call him a prospect.
 
Not good fight IQ imo. He's got the skills. Just need to work on his head.
 
Give him a chance man. His future is bright!
 
Was the fight with Mein any good?
 
Soon there will be no stopping this new age dynamic fighter. Just needed a bit of experience first

Just keeping it real! Haha

Plus its probably cause he is pretty active except 2016, he fought almost 3 times every gear including this year
