Is Austin Vanderpaige a good signing?

[DiazSlap]

Dude is like 35 and got obliterated by Mousasi and Aaron Jeffrey in just over 1 minute…


But then again he has a victory over Fabian Edwards…

Thought he would lose his UFC debut but he came to fight.


Can Vanderzant add anything to the UFC?

 

[Ares Black]

He's a solid addition to the division

Both of those guys are legit MWs. Vanderford is a natural WW.

 

[DougieJones]

I absolutely think so

He's never going to challenge for the title or anything, but he's a good 'middle of the pack' fighter (who as we saw, would at least be a top-5 MW/WW anywhere else)

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Let me know when he is ready the for great Neil Magney

 

[Oscar Madison]

Austin's UFC exposure will be good for the family business.

Neil “the Immortal” Magney would be a stiff test for VanderOFzant

Needs more tats to be taken seriously

He’s just fighting to help promote his wife’s of, good for him for sticking with it even though he’ll never hold a title in the UFC

 

[volcom5]

He won’t get a title or even make a run, but hey beats fighting in the other orgs like PFL who is having a difficult time putting on events and GFL probably might not even put a first event. So the UFC was his best option to make some money and maybe grow a following or popularity and it probably helps being Paige’s husband.

Right now

 

[Lord Pyjamas]

He seems to be doing everything right in this new world.

Vanderford will probably get some random matchup first, but I like Magny vs Vanderford as a matchup.


Also, I wanted to apologize if I have been a prick. I appreciate the effort. You do good work.

 

[Ares Black]

They should change their names to Paige and Austin VanZanderford.

Frankly I'm a little surprised they haven't TBH. Missed opportunity IMO.

UFC consistently makes terrible signings and passes up on top talent. This is the reality, the only promotion most people watch is actually pretty mid tier as a representative of the sport and the talent that exists in it. NFL my ass.

 

[WalterSobchak]

WOOD SMASH - his wife.

 

[Doctor Grudge]

Sure, why not?

Yes, he lost in Bellator but it's worth noting he looked very small at 185. At 170, maybe he can go high in the rankings.

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Yeah, we need pvz back around and desperate

Outside of AJ McKee they have pretty much everyone worth signing. Who else would you like them to sign?

AJ McKee alone just lost to Paul Hughes who is not in the UFC.

There are a lot of good fighters not in the UFC.
