Tristan Connelly, the Canadian scrapper who defeated Michel Pereira on 6 days notice is finally making his return to the Octagon, at his natural weightclass of 155.

He is fighting Brazilian prospect Alex da Silva Coelho (21-2, 1-1 UFC)

Connelly's upset of the overhyped Pereira was one of my favourite UFC moments of 2019, and I am looking forward to seeing him with a full camp, in his proper weightclass. Connelly is 9-1 in his last 10 and is well-rounded and tough as hell.
I think there are many interesting matchups for him at 155.

Thoughts?

Fun fighter to watch, good to see he has a fight lined up. Hope he does well.

 

[DarkneT]

The Canadians will be over the moon

 

[fortheo]

Awesome. I hope he does well.

 

[Ares Black]

Awesome. I hope he does well.

Me too. I'm cautiously optimistic.

I am hoping for the best but preparing for the worst with this guy, I actually live near him. Big fan but just trying to be realistic here.

Yeah it seems like a very long time with no fight announcement. I was glad to see the article.

TBH I don't expect too much either, but I do think he could have a decent career in the UFC.

I'm excited as well -- he gave zero fucks that fight and fought 15 hard minutes. That was a very inspiring performance and I can't wait to see him throw down at 155. He made a lot of fans that night.

And stroking your beaver

with a hockey stick all while maintaining a fairly impressive ( if i do say so myself ) moose knuckle

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Hey does anyone have change for a toonie, two loonies will do just fine, eh!

 

[Fahcough]

Will give benefit that he's got more to offer than a boring ground game. Do something worthy of a movie like Brennan Conlon

His short notice win over Pereira had me so hyped. I was rooting for him so hard. That was a great night.

glad he’ll be back, can’t wait to see what he looks like on a full camp

 

[Ares Black]

I do love a good hypetrainwreck.

 

[Quietus]

Thats cool, but theres a good chance he was just in a right place, right time situation and had his 15 minutes of fame, and will look very average in his next fight against a younger/better prospect.
