Is Caio Borralho the next MW champ?

[DiazSlap]

Dude is a massive MW, very skilled on the mat and can throw, fights out of the best camp and only has 1 career loss (very early on in his career).

Only drawbacks are:

1) He is already 32

2) that “Free Spirit” tattoo is a bit suspect.

Other than that, he matches up well against anyone at 185.

When are they going announce his next fight

Agree…he is the poster boy for the Fighting Nerds team and yet he has been shelved by Pink Goof and Co

He has fight and a date he says, but can’t say anything yet
This like a week ago

I know that feel dawg

 

[Sean Chowdhury]

I think he beats whittaker, imavov or strickland but unsure about how he does against chimaev/ddp. He looked good against cannonier but cannonier is also 40

 

[Hymen Crusher]

Hard to say he needs to fight Bobby or Strickland. If he beats either of those convincingly he is ready for that title shot

I say put him vs Strickland…maybe he can finish Strickland.

I agree that's a nice feather in the cap and I would like to watch Strickland get koed

 

[BowserJr]

Yes. All the most skilled fighters are old and shop worn and the young bucks all suck

Plus I really hate seeing nice guy Whittaker lose.

Love watching Sean get beaten though.

Starting to feel like Jean Silva is taking that throne

I don't think Borralho is 'it', so no. Khamzat mauls him when the time is right, or DDP does whatever he does .

 

[mister piscadinha]

his striking is a bit questionable, his grappling is very good

I'm curious to see him vs khamzat. Caio trained with khamzat for a while and said he has a good understanding of what khamzat's system is when it comes to grappling and won't be surprised there. Mind you, Caio is also a guy that came up training with Demian Maia for years. He's a legit black belt. And On the feet, it isn't even close.

I don’t think that guy has any idea about Caio…he is well rounded and as strong as any 185er including Khamzat.

 

[dogsdonutsdragons]

hes really good. would do well vs khamzat in training. hes one of the best in the division rn imo

 

[Xanzito]

I like Caio, but still have doubts about if he's champ material.

Caio is like a prototype for a fighter Khamzat is going to have trouble with. A very solid grappler who is physically imposing.

Lots of guys are better strikers than Khamzat, Caio certainly is, but Khamzat generally enjoys being the bigger guy. Not here.

Fight Nerds are the most interesting team in the sport right now and I'm generally interested in all of them fighting top 5 name brand opponents in the next year.

He’s got future champ written all over him. Hes noticeably improving ever fight still too.
