Wonderboy getting ready for his 1 fight a year.

 

[Goldentrophy]

I was banking on WB fighting Colby, oh well.

 

[Gabe]

Hell yeah I like that fight right there. I REALLY hope Wonderboy can pull this off, Bonfim is dangerous but it has potential for a Wonderboy highlight.

 

[tornado362]

What happened to the only fun striking fights, Bonfim is going to grapple like his life depends on it

 

[Mickey Mick]

IMO they should have done wonderboy vs Mallott but this is still pretty solid.

 

[JoeRowe]

Idk if tickets were already on sale but if they were this seems like maybe they weren't selling well.

This should Easily be the main event over Lewis/New guy

Thompson has lost 4 of his last 5, not a big deal if he gets a main event or not.

Lewis doesn't need to be in a 5 round fight no but it will be exciting while it lasts and he will promote the event well. I view a fight like that more as epilogue than a main event anyways, should end the night with a bang lol.

Why would you wanna see WB get humped for 3-5 rounds?

Sounds like you easily hit your head

 

[ComeChooDaddy]

Better not be a main event

 

[Marko Atanasovik]

Finally Thompson out of rankings.

Wonderboy got sent to the shadow realms by a sloppy high school wrestler. Bonfim has nothing to worry about.

That fight is a toss up for me, Colby regressed as well.

Derrick Lewis/Tallison Texeira is the main event, this is probably the co-main.

Finally Thompson out of rankings.

Prime wonderboy was something special, but I agree. UFC like to keep guys who haven't won fights in years in the top 10 forever. What it does is stall out divisions. Wonderboy has already fought so many names it's about time to give newer fighters a chance.

Stephen has zero tdd.

 

[VAfan]

wonderboy still looking at least competitive, speed still hanging around, but that fight is going to come when suddenly it's gone and it's going to get ugly when it does.

Well.. Wonderoldman is 1-4 in his last 5... he can't be picky.

I'm surprised he is still going at 42 taking up and comers.

I just took a look at Gabriel's record, the guy has a shit load of submissions. A 76% sub rate to be exact. He's going to be grapple fucking WB and will most likely get the sub. At least with Colby there's no real threat of a finish and he's also old.
