Media Johnny Eblen asking himself what he's fighting for in PFL

[Pechan]

There are small local promotions actually making more profits than the PFL.

 

[El Fernas]

What is it with PFL and most good Bellator fighters? Those guys were not brought in, or they choose not to, for the tournament, Pitbull, Picco, Mix let go, Eblem will have get the same route, they should just let him to chase a UFC contract while he is still in his prime.

Im guessing Nurmagomedov is probably the next big name to make the jump, specially since the LW belt is not in his team anymore and his ties with UFC names.

 

[xhaydenx]

PFL are definitely losing him and they're going to have pretty much no one soon.

There's no way they'll be able to keep Dakota either.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Eblen would get ran through in the UFC. He barely beat Impa Kasanganay who was bottom level in the UFC.

I don't get why people thought Eblen would be some destroyers still after that fight. Went life or death with Impa.

 

[jeskola]

PFLlator is dying

 

[Neck&Neck]

How about that new PFL app tho

 

[volcom5]

He’s fighting for the health insurance and a spot to be on the first ever PFL Africa card, co main event to Ngannou vs Fedor. PPV

He'll be the next guy to jump to UFC. When his contract is up PFL probably will let him him go and not make a fuss over it.

I think Dakota and maybe Usman though they want Hughes as LW but but def Dakota, she's one they will fight tooth and nail to keep. They will use every extension, matching clause etc to not lose her. She will have to sit out a year like Pico threatened to do to leave that org and go to UFC.

Hopefully Nemkov can make his way to UFC this year too.

I've never heard of this Jimmy Erblem

He's like Torrez Finney, but good.

 

[Ares Black]

He's like Torrez Finney, but good.

He's 5'5??

 

[Thesnake101]

I don't get why people thought Eblen would be some destroyers still after that fight. Went life or death with Impa.

Just a bad matchup I think, though his last two wins have definitely left a lot to be desired indeed.

Still, an undefeated, durable hulking wrestler is always going to be an interesting addition to the division. RDR looked terrible after fighting Malykhin twice (who just recently looked like shit himself) and now he's about to fight Whittaker while carrying a ton of momentum.

MW isn't a very deep weight class so Johnny can still wind up as a strong contender just on his wrestling alone imo.

 

[Goatenstein]

Eblen would dominate Anderson Silva

 

[MRT]

Pretty sure Dana will find a way to deny us that talent.

Why would you say that when the UFC has recently signed RDR, Pico, and Patchy...and even taken a flier on Pitbull?

If Eblen's contract were to come up, you can bet that the UFC wouldl make a legit attempt to sign him.

 

[Poirierfan]

“Early next year, my contract expires, It’s just however that plays out. Maybe I fight once or don’t fight again, contract
expires. We’ll see what we do."

“I beat this guy (van Steenis), I’m not fighting the top five guys in the world, plain and simple. But I’m a top five guy, top
three, I think I’m the best. So it sucks when you’re there in capability and you can’t fight guys ranked either ahead of you,
just below of you. I just want to fight, but most importantly, I want to fight the best guys in the world. I want to fight the
Chimaevs, I want to fight the du Plessis’…there’s no capacity for me to do that with where I’m at currently.”

He'll be in the UFC from the sound of it, Eblen would be an awesome addition too btw.

 

[Poirierfan]

Pretty sure Dana will find a way to deny us that talent.

You haven't heard? Dana's busy collecting Saudi semen to get in tight with boxing.

 

[SamuraiBro]

I don’t think Eblen would be UFC champ. But he’d be top 5 I reckon.

 

[Poirierfan]

I don’t think Eblen would be UFC champ. But he’d be top 5 I reckon.

You never know, he's still youngish and has an insane work ethic.

 

[mkt]

Eblen would dominate Anderson Silva

The current 50-year old Silva.... probably.

 

[Poirierfan]

He'll be the next guy to jump to UFC. When his contract is up PFL probably will let him him go and not make a fuss over it.

I think Dakota and maybe Usman though they want Hughes as LW but but def Dakota, she's one they will fight tooth and nail to keep. They will use every extension, matching clause etc to not lose her. She will have to sit out a year like Pico threatened to do to leave that org and go to UFC.

Dakota would dominate wherever she's at, I hope she gets to the UFC. She's literally the only girl I like watching these days.
