Get em Movsar

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Did Aljo

Spoiler: threaten to

cum on his ass?

For a guy who many claimed was ducking Movsar, Aljo looks pretty keen to fight. It seems like they're just figuring out the best date now.

I got aljo by a close decision that leaves many fans upset. Basically the Aljo special.

 

[Portland8242]

I don't thin it's gonna be a boring fight at all, the grappling exchanges should be pretty interesting.

 

[Tweak896]

Aljo should get a title shot if he can beat him.

Maybe but the queue is pretty backed up regardless of who wins this fight. Seems Max is next & I doubt UFC will make Volkanovski win another fight before they give him the title shot after that.

Honestly I thought Movsar's last fight was very entertaining.

 

[CobraCobretti]

Don't blink

 

[LoveMyMMA]

Aljo calling another fighter boring is top-notch irony and absolutely comical.

 

[LoveMyMMA]

Put this fight on that Abu Dhabi FN card.

Sandhagen vs. Umar
Vera vs. Figueredo
Aljo vs. Movsar

Sign me up.

this fight would be very fun to watch.

i hope the matchmakers get it right.

I want 5 rounds. They need to put movsar in the spotlight for once or he'll never get any attention.

Maybe Volkanovski vs Evloev/Sterling winner. That works wonders.

Aljo impressed me vs Kattar. I didn't think his grappling would translate that well.

 

[Jawth]

I actually prefer Alho vs. Ortega, chances for a sub eitger way is much higher than Evloev vs. Aljo.

Maybe if he didnt have eight decisions in a row, he would have gotten himself some attention.

oh, I agree, but at some point you gotta push a guy that keeps winning, regardless of whether it is boring or not. That way if he makes it to a title shot, you already started building his fanbase and dont need to scramble to introduce him to the wider audience.

I'd stick with a 3 round fight.
a 5 round main event between those two fighters isn't gonna sell any tix and only die-hards will tune-in to watch it.

if the idea is to get movsar attention - slot him on that Abu Dhabi FN card OR on a PPV main card.
