Lando Vannata is 3-5-2 in the UFC. What did you think of him when he made his UFC debut?

How far did you think he was gonna go? Cobtender? Champion? Gatekeeper?

Thought he was a good fighter when I saw him nearly knocking out T Ferg

I thought “I bet this guy goes 3-5-2 in his first 10 fights”.

It was pretty easy to call if you have an eye for these things.

Same, the writing was on the wall for non casuals

Knowing how good Ferguson is, I thought Lando was going to be a contender.
Before seeing this topic, I had forgotten all about him. Is he still in the roster? I'm getting old.

Seemed pretty good in his first 2 fights tbh. First fight he gave Tony a tough fight and then he wheel kicked Makdessi.

I don't know if I actually expected him to be an elite fighter but I damn sure was hoping he would be

That Makdessi fight was particulary impressive because Mak is technical as fuck

Exciting. Just Bleed Fighter... The type of guy Dana will keep around no matter his record because he doesn't try and lay and pray for 15 minutes.

I thought this guy would be the next Mike Perry.

Like any decent Sherdogger I look for important signs about them to decide how I think their career will pan out.

Lando's hairline did not check out.

Flashy guy who will be a .500 fighter.

I need an expert opinion.. @Myrddin Wild

Impressive considering Lando debuted earlier.

 

[Chomsky Honk]

I remember that Tony fight being hype af in fact im gonna watch that one again

 

[sonhow]

He fights good competition. But he really should havw done better vs Green in that rematch.

 

[TheMessiah]

Didn't he say he's moving to FW?

 

[BangBang]

I thought not bad for a BMXer

 

[Huligani]

It was an incredible debut obviously. It's actually bizarre that he never improved.
