Just because he's been fighting for only 3 years, doesn't mean he hasn't crushed the regional circuit. He's shown for a while now that he is past that. The only way he could've had to wait longer, was if he fought a UFC veteran on the regional scene.
 
LFC and RFA shouldn't have title belts. They should hand the fighters who win main events some kind of giant novelty golden ticket with UFC written on them.
 
Congrats to him. He goes from making peanuts to making a whole bag of peanuts.

I jest. I am interested in seeing how he does in the UFC.
 
Now we can see how he looks against some decent competition.
 
Yes, finally. Please be true.

Fight from Friday:

Dudes look good, obviously his record is a bit bloated but he's looked good against all his tests in Legacy. Think he could make some noise
 
At the bare minimum, bantamweight at least 3-4 guys who on paper bare following in the future: Almeida, Sterling, Munhoz and Holdsworth
 
I'm sure they'll give him a tough fight out of the gate.
 
Great news.

Graciemag is already reporting it so it looks like its true.

UFC will now have the 4 best BW prospects in mma on the roster, Sterling, Tanaka, Almeida and Munhoz plus Holdsworth.

Damn Tanaka too. Totally forgot about him. Hopefully they take it slow with these guys, let them develop at a comfortable pace so that when the whole Assuncao, Barao, Cruz. Dillishaw and Mizugaki mess is clear, they'll have a helping of fresh new 135ers kind of like how 145 lbs worked.

Yeah the division is starting to pick up some nice young talent.

If only they could sign Morares, Bibi, Dantas etc.. it'd be one of the most fun divisions in the UFC.

The division is going to hot up in the next couple of years. Sheymon Moraes and Julio Arce will likely be in the UFC then too, if they don't sign else where.
