Next for Norman Parke

[Big_Chief_Stove]

A very game fighter out of Northern Ireland, compling a 5-3-1 record so far in the UFC. 1-3 in his last few fights. Who does he fight next?

Ross Pearson would be an exciting match up, especially on a UK card

Joe Lauzon would be a good test on the feet as well as the ground.

Tony Martin would be an great scrap, also very game. Rapidly improving stand up.

Nik Lentz's isn't quite the wrestler that Khabilov is, Norman might be able to keep the fight on the feet.

Parke/Pfister in a loser leaves town match.

 

[SpiderCrawl]

He seems to have all the skills but just can't put it together, maybe a fight or 2 in a smaller org would be good for him.

 

[mma sharingan]

him vs makdessi seems good to me.

 

[Big_Chief_Stove]

him vs makdessi seems good to me.

That's another good match up

Parke/Pfister in a loser leaves town match.

Nah, Parke will be around longer than that

 

[Chules]

him vs makdessi seems good to me.

perfect really

Loser gets cut

 

[BJPenn2012]

Please god I don't want to see another Norman Parke announcement unless he's getting cut or retiring

 

[Kanemura]

I say Norman Parke vs Gilbert Burns on the UFC 199 undercard!

 

[Zola]

Parke always disappoints me. He has zero punching power and is far too timid for my liking, no aggression or killer instinct. He is going nowhere at present.

If he has any ambition I think he needs to move camps to the US and find better trainers.

I dunno, man. His style isn't exactly fan friendly, and with another loss, he'll be 1-4 in his last 5.

Agreed.

but 5-4-1 overall, if he loses. I think the UFC will at least allow him to go 5-5-1 before letting him go, if the cards fall that way.

Parke vs. Tony Martin would be a good match up though if you're right. Loser maybe takes the walk.

yeah if he was smart that's what he would do. Or Canada with Tristar.

You may be right, my friend. I hope for his sake that you're right. I like Norman, though his style isn't the flashiest, its something I can appreciate.

Prob a BAMMA title shot unfortunately - I felt UFC gave up on him in his last fight and put him low down the card and fed him to Kabilov even though I felt he did much better against Khabilov than I expected I think he will be in the next round of cuts when the tweets come out
