[BoxerMaurits]

Levels Fight League Heavyweight champion Mario Pinto signs contract with the UFC

Mario Pinto is a 26-year-old, 6’5” undefeated Heavyweight from Portugal, who lives and trains in London, England.
Last year, he captured the LFL Heavyweight title by winning the Levels Fight League 8-man one-night Heavyweight Tournament, where the inaugural championship was on the line.
Since then, Pinto has successfully defended the title twice, securing victories over seasoned veterans Benjamin Šehić and Kasim Aras.

I’ve had the chance to watch Mario Pinto fight live in Amsterdam a couple of times, and he’s always been impressive!

Last week, Pinto fought for a UFC-contract on DWCS, where he faced the previously unbeaten Brazilian LFA Heavyweight Lucas Camacho.
Mario knocked his opponent out in the first round with a left hook, impressing UFC matchmakers Dana White, Hunter Campbell, Mick Maynard, and Sean Shelby, who didn’t hesitate to sign him to the world’s premier MMA organization.

With his professional record improving to 9-0 (5 KO/TKO, 1 sub.), the Portuguese fighter can now make himself ready for ‘The Big League’.

Mario Pinto’s signing highlights the Dutch MMA-organization, Levels Fight League, as a gateway for young talent to make the jump to the highest levels of the sport.

How do you think Mario Pinto will perform in the UFC?

[Greyscale]

At least he's not a fat guy with big right hand and that's very much welcome

 

[Poirierfan]

I watched his contender series fight. I've never seen someone with such piss poor striking than his opponent had. That guy had worse hands than a soccer mom. Good luck to him, he did what he was suppose to do.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

I read that as LFC and was wondering when Lingerie Fighting Championship started having guys

 

[Pittie Petey]

He looks like Will Smith, got anybody on the roster that looks like Chris Rock?
That storyline writes itself!

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

for how tall he is and being a HW he moves way more athletically than most of the other HWs his size. haven't seen him fight before, but will tune in for his debut. he seems promising.

 

[Poirierfan]

Cool, Jones could be his Diddy.

 

[Deleted member 513083]

I think was the first time I saw a full fight of him during contender series.

I did come across his name quite a bit during my MMA match sessions.

 

[BigTruck]

I can't believe he got to meat you!

 

[MacGregor]

 

[markys00]

Cool, Jones could be Diddy.

Come again?

Let's fuckin go Mario....WAR

 

[PeterGriffin]

Well, the UFC's top 10 HW's smoke him easily, probably top 15. I think Poatan and Jiri put him out pretty easily too. He could have just been nervous fighting on the show, but he seemed to fight tall and flat-footed. He is worth signing though, and that was a pretty powerful short jab. If the UFC doesn't rush him along or feed him to the wolves right away, and he gets some solid finishes and confidence, he could be around for a while.

Thankfully, there are not a lot of HW wrestlers, and he is young. Was definitely a good pick up for the UFC.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Come again?

You may be confused, but your response plays right into @Poirierfan's game

 

[Ares Black]

Not gonna lie I was pretty surprised to hear his British accent

 

[Poirierfan]

You may be confused, that your response plays right into @Poirierfan's game

I shoulda been more explicitly descriptive I guess, that's not for sherdogers eyes though.


Fuck it, apparently Will Smith and P Diddy had themselves some cock fights.

 

[AldoStillGoat]

I think he's going to be the heavyweight GOAT

Everyone always getting in Jada's shit for being a hoe, but how else was she ever gonna get some play? She just whoring around for no reason???

Diddy is about to tie up mad loose ends in the popular culture sector.

 

[AldoStillGoat]

lol

no seriously... I think he looks nasty... usually you see sloppy ass heavyweights... this dude is actually technical as hell on the feet. Big dude, technical, undefeated.... i dunno, he looks good to me .. and the state of the HW div is not so good.. like always
