If you were a new UFC HW, which fight would you avoid

[zxyss25]

Well, I wouldnt get an immediate title shot so Stipe is out...therefore I would avoid the following

Black Beast


Mark Hunt


Rumble Johnson (catchweight/Rumbleweight)


Allistar Overeem


Roy Nelson


Cain Velsaquez

 

[sirmorbach]

Cain Velasquez. Healthy Spinning Shit Cain is the GOAT.

 

[Breaking]

I'm not a punk, so I wouldn't plan on avoiding anyone.

 

[bjpenngoat]

what about vai cavalho, jds, barnett??? those guys are all super dangerous too ya know.

 

[Joe Rogan's Kettlebell]

they all seem pretty bad TBH

 

[The guest]

NONE...

Either you are the man or you are not. And if you've reached the WME or what ever it is now. You've got Talent. A little belief in yourself is mandatory.

 

[Sonny Qc]

JDS, tough has nail. hit hard.
Cain, Good cardio, always come foward.
Brock Lesnar, so freaking huge.

 

[BigGing]

Lesnar cuz if you lose everyone mocks you about losing to an "unskilled or wrestler"

 

[BrainCandy]

None. If you are a HW joining the UFC, this is what you wanted.

 

[Chamber]

There are obviously guys that I would prefer to fight, but no one I would truly avoid. You can't consciously duck fights at the UFC level. Well, you shouldn't, anyway.

 

[Deleted member 460645]

None. If you're a fighter, fight who they put in front of you.

 

[Verace]

 

[Chain Saw]

Cain Velasquez or Lesnar because I can't wrestle.

 

[mjmj]

It’s a ridiculous notion to think a professional fighter would duck anyone. But to make it even more ridiculous, TS left off JDS. And included a LHW. Drinking early?

 

[Venom]

If I was 6'3" 230...
I'd call out Matt Mitrione.

 

[007]

Anyone Anyplace Anytime

 

[McBlaze]

Rogan should have laid him out for that blatant disrespect

 

[Verace]

Rogan should have laid him out for that blatant disrespect

im sure he didnt want to be the next

If I'm new and was offered Cain, JDS, Overeem, Rumble, I'd be happy to take it. I'd be expected to lose so as long as I can do anything impressive my stock goes up, even if that is just showing "good heart."

Against Hunt, he is coming off a loss and he is 42. Everytime he wins it is considered impressive because of his age. If he lost to a newbie the story would be less "Wow! Look at this newbie!" And more, "Is it time for Hunt to finally hang them up?"

Black Beast is a nightmare. He is on a hot streak, but people aren't certain whether or not he is truly ready for the top guys. If a newbie beats him, it would look great! But unlike the proven great vets, just looking good against him wouldn't be enough to be impressive in and of itself. The newbie has to win for good stock.

But Nelson is the worst first fight. He is the most beatable, but he is getting old, he is losing more, he is gatekeeper status and he is still dangerous. A newbie has to beat him impressively to really get noticed.

So I'd want to avoid him the most.

But I'd really want to avoid all those guys. Id rather fight other beatable no names for my first few fights and hopefully in impressive fashion.

If the question is who would be the scariest to stand across from, all of them! But maybe Rumble would be the most frightening.

USADA, I'd hide under the octagon.
