Raphael Assuncao

The guy has really looked fantastic since moving to 135. He's been awesome his whole career, but this was the perfect decision.

Glad he's finally going to get his shot after a long career.

Rogan was so bad on commentary during that fight. I thought Raphael was winning every round pretty decisively but all Joe talked about was Munhoz' leg kicks.

He didn't look anything like a guy that can challenge Barao. But there are not that many other challengers out there.

Is he getting a title shot? Good for him if so. He was impressive tonight.

Because his leg was red and he switched stance. Rogan thought he was in trouble.

He outstruck and took his opponent down. He should be getting the next shot while Cruz gets a warmup fight, hopefully wins, and then gets the next shot. TJ and Mizukagi are the only ones left and the rest are rematches for Barao.

He looked good tonight. I like watching his counter striking style. I think the live stats were like 91 - 9 in head punches or something.

He's underrated. I don't think he will beat Barao but I don't think anyone does at 135. He'll be a game opponent though. Maybe his straight punches could be effective against Barao..

Barao will starch him but he's good and the rightful next contender, after Cruz.
