Awesome
Should be a fun fight

 

[MartiniSIDe]

Good fight

Bahamondes is fun to watch. Wont ever be a contender but could hand around top 12 and have some bangers

 

[HatKick]

Besides Chase Hooper are these the two youngest fighters on the roster ?

 

[Yungrich]

Damn they are not giving these Chinese prospects any easy fights it’s sink or swim

Bahamondes is fun to watch. Wont ever be a contender

24 year old 6'1 lightweight with solid fundamentals and continuing to improve, coming off a savage upset KO win in a fight he completedly dominated.

Sherdoggers gonna sherdog. Bahamondes makes top 10, I think.

 

[Kryptt]

I believe Rong Zhu is the youngest followed by Kay Hansen

Sherdog: "Wont ever be a contender"

Not everyone will be a contender.

He's a damn big dude for Lw. I dont know how his weight cut is but I guess it's not an easy one. He'll probably have to go up a weight class in the near future and he's a striker.

He got picked apart by Makdessi(who's also a good striker) in his own game. Thats why I dont see him as a contender. He's a good striker but not an elite one. I didnt see much of his grappling so I cant really say anything here.

That's just my opinion. Props to him if he becomes a contender. I wont be mad, I really like his style.

 

[Raymundo Alvarado Guevara]

I will go with Bahamondes

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Bahamondes going to kill this bum

 

[Gio]

I was hoping they'll book Bahamondes with Paddy Pimblett, but this is a fun fight nonetheless

Sherdog: "Wont ever be a contender"

Complete domination is a big stretch, that was a competitive fight. He also lost to Makdessi. 'Won't ever be a contender' is harsh, but it's not like Bahamondes is even a lock for top 10, let alone becoming a contender.

That wheel kick KO was one of my favorite KOs ever. Waning seconds of the fight. I literally jumped out of my seat and yelled HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!

Zhu Rong is an interesting prospect, but rooting for Nacho Bahamondes.

Not sure what Zhu is capable of yet. Intriguing fight

Sandhagen or Bahamondes?

Who wins KO of the year?

Probably Sandhagen because of level of competition.

But I really love both. I have a soft spot for spinning shit.
