No love for Mizugaki?

 

[iThrillhouse]

damn was really hoping Roop would cut to 125...he's just undersized at bantam

I also think Roop should consider 125

I also think Roop should consider 125

He wouldn't be forfeiting as much of a size disadvantage if he dropped. Good idea, I'm on board.

 

[Furious George]

Mizugaki by whatever he wants. Punching bag Roop gets levelled.

 

[KhabibTheBeagle]

I don't think this match-up favours Mizugaki, and Roop KO'ing him is foreseeable.

 

[KhabibTheBeagle]

He wouldn't be forfeiting as much of a size disadvantage if he dropped. Good idea, I'm on board.

It's a shame there's no men's Strawweight division in the UFC, he'd rule with an iron fist against guys his own size.

Any card Gegard is on is gold.

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

lol. This thread delivers.

 

[Chad The Limey]

Can't believe Roop is still employed, tbh

 

[essie]

Love it. War Moose.

 

[The_Renaissance]

Loser goes home.

Mizugaki probably wins a UD.

 

[Ace of Spades]

Roop should be facing someone like Gibson, Caceras or Brimage.

Ehh, Mizu by submission.

 

[Volizei]

Mizugaki by late tko or ud. He's a great fighter, sadly mostly a gatekeeper at this point, but he's exciting to watch.
It would have been cool to have Gomi on this card instead of the one last week. Hell, he might have even won, oh well though.

 

[Lucifer Alpha]

This is the first time since being under Zuffa employ that Mizugaki is on a two-fight losing streak. Pretty crazy.

Miz by dec

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

I didn't even think George Roop still fought.

 

[MMAddict21]

George Roop makes me realize, where the fuck is Rob Font?

 

[MMAdict]

Miz should win. Decent fight though.

I'm curious who Horiguchi fights more.

 

[Vil7]

How the hell does Roop survive cutting to & making these weights? Holy shit.
