Wtf is going on with 312 then? Sheesh

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Good fight. Dude with "ev" in his last name and a gazillion wins could get a TS since Pantoja cleaned the division

Wtf is going on with 312 then? Sheesh

It's really not that bad IMO, and there's still time to add a fight or two. Two title fights and a whole bunch of local prospects.

Du Plessis vs Strickland 2 (MW Title)
Zhang vs Suarez (SW Title)

Giacomo Della Maddalena vs Kamaru Usman (rumoured)

Crute vs Prachnio is whatever. It will be a fight.

Tom Nolan vs Slava Claus is a guaranteed banger.

Talisson Teixeira vs Justin Tafa is the UFC debut of the most interesting HW prospect in a while.

Tsuruya vs Nicoll is a great prospect fight, so are Jenkins vs Santos and Haddon vs Topuria.

Quillan Salkilld has the weirdest name I have ever heard, but he's really damn good and he's most likely going to destroy Anshul Jubli.

Add a couple of good fights and that is a hell of a card IMO.



There is also a rumor that Pereira might fight too. Sounds crazy to me, but who TF knows?

it really needs that JDM vs Usman fight to be more than rumoured

Thought Crute retired btw, I guess months pass and "oh shit I should probably get a bag of money"

I think he just needed some time off to focus on stuff other than fighting. I guess 18 months was enough.

He's still only 28, but he's racking up some hard mileage with his fighting style.

it's a brutal game

I meant to attach this link to my last post

Jimmy Crute not retiring but intends to take time off to fix ‘unhealthy obsession’ with MMA

Jimmy Crute clarifies he is not retiring following UFC 290 loss, but that he does intend to take some time off to fix his mentality.

www.mmafighting.com

Apparently he was obsessed with MMA and needed to find some balance in his life.

"Truth is, I don't even know who I am without all of this. I am going to take the time to find myself, do the therapy and get myself right"

Im called a UFC apologist and this feels like shit to me. And wasn't it also rumored Madallena wouldnt be on this card

 

[RockyLockridge]

I'm thinking erceg is a flash in the pan. I don't think he makes it back to the top of Flyweight

 

[Sean Chowdhury]

Erceg wins this one, he nearly beat pantoja, getting ko'd by KKF who's the hardest hitter at 125 doesn't mean he's gonna lose to other flyweights now since no one really hits that hard in this division

 

[Neck&Neck]

I hope Sleepy Steve can bounce back

 

[Pequeño Corey]

I like the idea of a Steve Erceg. Nice, unassuming guy with his dri fit polo shirt. But like, dude, you got a TS off Ko’ing Matt “Glass Joe” Schell.

leeets gaaaw

How you can not admire Steve's lifepath:
then:

Backing Ercej in this one

Too soon to say that, he came pretty damn close to beating Pantoja. His stock rose with that fight despite the loss.

Almabayev doesn't seem to have much KO power so let's see if he can outskill Erceg over three rounds, that's not easy to do.

Sure. Maybe You're right. I wouldn't bet on it either... just a hunch....

I've see it happen to other guys, Have a random competitive fight against the right guy... have people thinkin' you're going places, turns out you just happened to have the performance of your life. You say he came close to beating Pantoja.... Most Agree Reyes looked great against Jones. Get a LHW title shot off a rocky win against Volkov and a KO of Weidman at LHW. Show up in the title fight, Didn't win but shocked everyone. but what happened to Dom after? And what's happening to Erceg now? Joe Soto Looked good against Dillashaw had people hopeful that he'd be a key player At bantamweight. but what happened after? you probably don't need a reminder, but they all got finished, multiple times against fighters that were patently lower level than the champion that they had recently performed well against.

Same Ol' Story. I just feel like this is how it goes.

I think Royval, Moreno, Taira, Albazi, Kape and KKF(proven) would all murder him.

So I don't wonder if he's champ material at the moment. I'm more wondering if he's as good as Charles Johnson or Ramazonbek Temirov,

 

[The_Renaissance]

Erceg probably gets back on track here

 

[Kwic]

Didn't know the opponent until I saw his face.
I was really impressed with his last fight.
Not sure who wins, but I wouldn't be surprised if Asu wins.
