Jimmie Rivera

[IloveTHIS]

Guy is a darkhorse at 135 that really NEVER gets mentioned. 20 fight win streak and riding wins over Faber and Almeida. Its easy to forget about him seeing how TJ/Cruz/Cody are kind of a "golden triangle" where all 3 of them are elite as fuck and can beat eachother on any given night. Jimmie is also small compared to them at only 5'4..

I dont think he is going to be champion, but I wouldnt be shocked if he did pull it off. How do you think he does against the golden triangle of Cruz/TJ/Cody?

He hasn't faced enough elite competition for me to gauge him against TJ, Cody and Cruz.

I would favour all 3 over him currently, but agreed, he could just as well pull off the upset.

 

[Kvolcom]

I think he has his hands full in his next fight again Moraes

 

[CroCopsLHK]

Great fighter, will fight for the gold

If he got some finishes, he'd get more spotlight because I agree he's dangerous

Meh. I'm....

I hate to be that guy but he has doesn't seem to have any finishing power. When i see someone has like 2 dozen decision twins, I don't tend to bother watching them. I get that finishing doesn't make someone an exciting fighter and I do hear great things about him. I'll tune into his next fight whoever it is with

TJ is just keeping Jimmie's belt warm.

13-fight streak if u count TUF loss to Bermudez. Impressive nonetheless, but I hate how people act as though TUF fights didnt happen just because they arent on the pro record

 

[BRASIL WAND]

Dude is a point fighter and hasn’t faced anyone noteworthy at 135lbs.

He is the Jon Fitch of BTW

I had no idea, haven't watched TUF in like 10 years

Heyooooooo

 

[notori0us1]

Most of his wins are by decision, that's not going to get you attention.

They’re only 2 rounds, right?
If so, lots of shit can happen in a final round

Also
Improvement
Up a weight class
Bermudez is a decent fighter
Etc

He'll be talked about less after his next performance.
