Interesting news...PFL HW Champ Phillipe Lins joins UFC

[SalvadorAllende]

UFC shills will quickly forget that Lins is a Bellator reject.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Ummm... He lost to Rumble Johnson in 2016 via KO in Round 1

Just one correction.

He lost that fight via panic.

 

[Mortal Wombat]

Arlowski is a true legend

Cant believe he is still fighting. At HW. Surely has to be the longest UFC HW by now.

 

[Evangelion]

I doubt he's getting anything like that, probably 50/50ish.

Theres literally no chance hes making that little.

There are some interesting things about this

1) Lins won the PFL HW Tourney and made $1 million. I would assume that the UFC would offer him more money to come to the UFC, as he is also losing sponsors and has to start at the bottom level of reebok

Lins also appears to be an entertaining finisher, and not a boring point fighter or wrestler/grappler

So what does everyone think he might be getting
Maybe $200k show and $200k win

2) He is fighting Arlowski in his 1st fight
Arlowski is the TRUE definition of a HW gate keeeper
Look at all the fighters he has faced -
Ngannou before he became a contender,
Rosenstruk before he became a contender
Tai Tuivasa back when Tai had a ton of hype
Augusti Saki, former Bellator HW contender

Arlowski is a true legend and is always game for a new challenge...never seems to want to take an easy fight

3) Why does Sherdog list Lins at a LHW...Will he be dropping to LWH after the Arlowski fight

Might give LHW another contender for Jones to split decision

He's a gatekeeper now, sure. However, I think this is fight is pretty winnable for Arlovski.

Just have had no time to get into PFL and watch it, but I seen him fight a few times in Bellator and looked very mediocre, but maybe he has improved a lot since...
