Foz- I know this is the wrong place but the guys here are great and may really help.

I have a great Pro fighter that the UFC is waffling on. Please sign this petition to get him into the UFC. This has worked for other fighters in the past so please help a great fighter out.

Ron, I don't want to be a dick here, but give us an argument for why he should fight in UFC...

He's got a losing record. He has won his last six fights but every single one of them were against somebody with a losing record. In fact, he's never beaten anyone with a winning record (two of the fighters he's beaten have a 50/50 win loss record). He's lost every fight he's had against a name fighter (Severn, Eilers, Wiuff, Fulton, none of which would be considered top tier).

So, apart from the fact that you sponsor him... why should he be in UFC?

Just playing devil's advocate here... everything I know about this guy is positive, he seems to be a hard worker... but you'd be better served to construct a good argument getting him in in addition to the petition, because it's going to be a very hard sell.

Good luck.

BTW, I signed.

No way, you'd make an awesome ring girl.

Seriously... I'm not trying to shoot it down, I'm just trying to make the argument stronger. All those questions need answers and if you can answer all of them then his chances of fighting in UFC are even stronger.
 
Amp-all good points. He has fought guys on no notice and was way out of shape. He has really buckled down and started training like crazy. He is now down to 238lbs (290 in the HL). He has lost a lot of fights but he has close to 100 pro MMA fights and have pushed some big name guys. I know if he were to rematch some of those guys he would win now. He just got his black belt in Sombo and his purple in BJJ. Win or lose he would be a hell of a lot of fun to watch fight in the UFC (check out the video and you'll see). He's better then a lot of the guys I've seen in the UFC and he's a hell of a lot more exciting to watch.

His well roundedness is a huge plus... can he cut a good promo? He's got some showmanship with his entrances and ring antics, if he can cut a promo UFC would be stupid not to be interested. Nobody in their heavyweight division can talk up a match.
 
Signed, # 21.....


Under comments I put better then that Hammerhouse guy.


Besides it's HW which is a little dry and I think he should fight Herring or Gonzaga.

Yeah, Kimo wanted him for the New Era Fighting because of his showmanship and WWE personality. Ivey is like a Tank Abbott with talent.

You dont like AA's broken English and WHAM! hair? How dare you sir!!11!!!11!


And I hear Eilers is stringing his syllables together nicely , he can almost say omoplata now...........
 
I'm with Meta on this one. Despite having a six win streak, his opponents' combined record is a terrible 5-12-0. On a side note, we need to see more Jake O'Brien.

Hehe... and now Sherdog becomes my gym and my school... I might as well stop using my first name (which everyone shortens to Matt anyway).

It's not that I don't think he'd be good in UFC... if he can talk, he'd be great. People love an agile heavyweight. How much would people flip out if he just bull rushed Sylvia and did one of those sick leg locks? It'd be what everyone wanted Jeff Monson to do.
