If Garbrandt moves down, should Benavidez move up?

[Rhood]

It seems like Team alpha male members are desperate for that gold, making nonsensical weight class decision.
With Cody moving down which makes absolutely no sense at all, should Joe B move up and challenge Yan?

Don't forget we still have Faber possibly moving down to Flyweight as well.
And when Dillashaw gets back, we'll see him at Lightweight.


Is this good or bad for their careers?

"Should Joe B move up and challenge Yan?" He'd need to win a couple big fights at BW before getting a shot at Yan. And that's not gonna happen. It would not be a smart move for little Joe B to move up to BW.

"Don't forget we still have Faber possibly moving down to Flyweight as well." Nah

"And when Dillashaw gets back, we'll see him at Lightweight." LW? At least say FW if you want to make a semi-believable claim.

 

[Reign009]

Dillashaw at LW?

What?

 

[Pault1989]

Joe B is done, he ain't getting another title shot anytime soon. He should just retire and enjoy time with his missus.

TAM Should really revise. Their team has terrible luck with gold. The only one whos tasted it, and had title defenses was TJ. Joey B needs to retire, Urijah needs to stick to coaching, Andre Fili needs to stop losing, etc. Cody needs to test a top 5 FW before a title fight. He needs to prove he can make weight.

 

[Johnnny]

He is tiny. He could make 115 rather easily. Maybe Olivi can convince Dana to create a men's strawweight division.

Maybe 3 years ago.

 

[tat2man5k]

Just my opinion but Joe B shouldn't move up, Joe B should give up.

 

[KID Yamamoto]

Joey B is done. I like him a good amount but the dude is the perennial silver medalist.

 

[GoGetSomeFansJon]

Not sure Megan can handle Joey B getting finished time and time again.

Yup. He should just buy himself a booster seat and see if he can get a chair at the announcer's table.

 

[Koro_11]

Neither of them has any realistic chance of wearing gold, Yan is a killer and Figureido might be even worse.

TAM kinda blows honestly, both Joe and necktats peaked a few years ago.

 

[RogerD]

TJ isn’t at TAM anymore, he left long ago. Why is he still considered TAM by OP?

 

[Straatblaffer]

I read you can fit all Team Alpha Male fighters in a single phone booth. Is this true?

 

[Roop Holstry]

Yup. He should just buy himself a booster seat and see if he can get a chair at the announcer's table.
