If Pitbull comes to UFC...

[WillyWarminski]

(Stop me if he is connected elsewhere...)
But, I'd guess he'll end up with UFC.

Is it too little too late?
He is 37.
Does he end up another Chandler?

 

[Get To Da Choppa]

If Pitbull comes to the UFC you can expect every event will be held in Miami

 

[Lycandroid]

He has gotta be number 2 or 3 behind Fedor when the what if they came to the UFC conversation comes up.

 

[Koro_11]

Yeah I would have been excited about it like 5 years ago. But the lighter weight fighters just don't age well historically, I think he's just coming to collect a few big paychecks.

 

[Koala]

Most likely GFL

 

[OldBoy91]

He's a bit washed, but not completely.

He's in a similar position to Chandler at 155. Probably not going to get rolled over by the elite at 145, has the ability to compete with them, just not quite enough left in the tank to beat them consistently, while still being able to beat the guys ranked below the elite.

 

[JBJ was here]

Most likely GFL

Over/Under on total number of events remaining before PFL and GFL both fold: 1.5, including PFL's scheduled January 25 event.

 

[KID Yamamoto]

More washed than Chandler was when he came to the UFC. He just got knocked out cold by a kickboxer in RIZIN not long ago.

 

[ChickenBrother]

Sadly yes, it's too late. It would be like Kid coming over to the UFC just in time to get his ass kicked.

 

[flektarn]

unfortunately on the older side of a younger man's division.

 

[Neck&Neck]

They could start doing halftime shows during PPV events
Get the ladies twerking

 

[Versez]

He his past his prime sadly … I don’t think he would do very good.

 

[BigTruck]

I'd honestly say 5-10 years too late. He's 37 in a division where the average top 10 is 34 so he's a few years late but he probably has a few good ones left in him but no way he sniffs the title l, imo of course.

 

[ultra321]

He can comb over all he want's the hair line Clearly shows that dude's already washed....
I think we're talking the next ben askren here TBH...

 

[Streeter]

Mr.World Wide is come to the UFC?

I bet at the the end of the night it's going down

 

[Thesnake101]

More washed than Chandler was when he came to the UFC. He just got knocked out cold by a kickboxer in RIZIN not long ago.

He bounced back with a finish over Jeremy Kennedy so I still want to see him face off against the top 10. Pitbull was always a much better fighter than Chandler, and didn't rely on his athleticism that much, so I could see him faring better than Mike or Melendez did.

A debut vs a similarly old Josh Emmett would be good.

 

[svmr_db]

He's past his best days, would've been more interesting 5+ years ago. I see him capping out around the top 5 and no further.

 

[snugglecakes]

he had all the time in the world to do that but he was content on fighting jobbers in bellasnore his whole prime so.... he doesnt deserve it

competition duckers should not be rewarded. If he came to the UFC, it would only be for money while expecting to lose which is textbook jobbing. He would be there for a paycheck after safe guard duck protecting his prime years via jobber opponents

My guess is he fought where he was paid the most to fight. If there was a better offer from the UFC I’m sure he would’ve jumped ship. It’s prize fighting after all. Calling him a duck is unfair imo.

That was 2023, and at 155, and only a month after he fought at 135.
