News Mansur Abdul-Malik vs Antonio Trocoli set for February 22nd

[HHJ]

Abdul-Malik is one of the best prospects in the UFC you casual!

Yeah but hes doesnt slap box so @BEATDOWNS has little to no interest, despite coming into this thread.

Definitely bro. The guy is undefeated, the way he talks, carries himself and his wrestling background, his vicious GnP and above all he is super confident in himself and talks good game. he is probably one of the guys when you see him first second you realize this guy belongs.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Damn they doing my boy Troclini dirty

 

[RockyLockridge]

Yeah, they know what they're doing here

Creating fair and balanced match ups the whole family can enjoy?

 

[Thesnake101]

Yeah, they know what they're doing here

Testing his BJJ ofc.

 

[Ares Black]

Mansur is apparently a Maryland state Champion. Not a bad wrestler and that is why the UFC probably brought him in.

Trocoli is only here for the pay-check. I expect Mansur to make quick work of him. I guess they wanna build up Mansur

Yeah this really feels like matchmaking that is intended to showcase Abdul-Malik. He is physically gifted and he has a ton of potential. He's a big MW with 80 inch reach and devastating ground and pound.

I suppose it's possible that Tony Broccoli catches him, but I expect a short, violent fight.

RIP Mackenzie Dern's current husband

She's the consolation prize

He did himself dirty IMO. It really feels like the main reason he's in the UFC is because his woman got him a job.

 

[Ares Black]

Testing his BJJ ofc.

That might be part of it, but I don't know how much of a realistic submission threat Tony Broccoli is. I don't think he can handle the speed and power of Abdul-Malik.

It actually bums me out a bit to think about Power Slap and how it has infected a few otherwise pretty solid shitposters. Smh.

 

[Nathan LaMontagne]

I don't know who Monsieur is but ill take anyone over that Trocoli guy.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

That's not his fault though, I think wiki doesn't allow a lot of newer fighters to get pages until they have 3 fights in the UFC.

I sometimes forget that the UFC is absolutely flooded with fighters from Dana's Cantender series, my bad.

 

[HHJ]

Piccolo need to watch himself here

Unlucky in 2 departments then...

 

[Ares Black]

I sometimes forget that the UFC is absolutely flooded with fighters from Dana's Cantender series, my bad.

And literally all of them are more talented than anyone in Power Slap

 

[Reign Supreme]

We barely knew you broccoli.

 

[Ares Black]

I don't know who Monsieur is but ill take anyone over that Trocoli guy.

He's got an 80 inch reach and nasty ground and pound. Big power, clearly very talented.

Absolutely destroyed Dusko Todorovic in his debut.

 

[Tweak896]

I understand Trocoli was probably rusty basically waiting between 2019 to 2024 gap between UFC fights, but he looked like shit. A 6'5 frame for MW would of been great if he could use it. I was totally disappointed in his return.

I wasn’t familiar with his game, thanks! After seeing that it certainly feels like Trocoli is being sacrificed here.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

I don't know who Monsieur is but ill take anyone over that Trocoli guy.

A very good wrestler that choses violence when he takes the fight to the ground. I think he will be ranked in a couple of fights.
