How far would Christian Lee go in the UFC

[Luffy]

Let's say Christian Lee competed in light weight in the UFC. How far do you think he goes? How do you think he'd compare to the current top tiers in lightweight such as Dustin Poirier, Gaethje, Charles Oliveira, Tsarukyan... Islam Makhachev ?

I think he has the potential to be #1. Though it's very tough to say.

Far AF. Lee's great restaurant reviews virtually assure his MMA success.

I don't know who that is. Champ of what org in which division ?

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Ranked I think, probably could be top 5 one day, not sure if he'd ever be champ.

 

[CorninginChristianburg]

With the right matchup I think he could win a fight and get into the top 10 but I think there's no way he stays there for a full year. Start off on the wrong foot and I think he never makes it.

 

[David Street]

I have watched him and thought he has talent but needs to step up his game.

easily top 5, any champ historically from other orgs, typically do really well in the UFC. christian lee is no different.

historically, UFC champs always are from other orgs. Christian Lee would do well 155 or 170.

170 no chance he's waaaay too small. He should possibly even consider cutting back to 145 if he were to join the UFC.

I think his problem is he gets cracked a lot and tends to be tough and come back into fights which is fine but if he got cracked by fucking Geoff Neal or something then that wouldn't go well.

I think Chatri is trying to avoid booking him against Soldic like the plague for that reason.

I don't usually watch stuff live, I'm English so it's in the middle of the night. Plus that way watching a 7 hour card takes like 3 hours

Other Orgs, yes. One? I don't think so.

Isn't Lee the champion? Soldic is coming off a loss. Why would it take any effort to have Lee avoid Soldic, Soldic literally has no claim to fighting him.

Next RIZIN card looks pretty great. Also ACA 177 looks insane from what's been announced so far.

The god of violence Nueraji fights on the WKG card this weekend too, fucking love that guy.

They were booking Soldic against anyone but him before. He was kicking Kadestam's ass before he got caught. I don't know why they signed him for the kind of money they did if they don't want to use him in big fights.
