Seems the end of the road for Joe B.

Joey B, BKFC flyweight champ coming soon

 

[chitoortiz]

One of the better fighters in the UFC to never win a title.

R.I.P.

 

[DustyWarrior]

I'm sure Joey and his T-rex arms will do great in BKFC.

Poor little fella

 

[Gio]

Perfect gif response.

Dang. Tough draw for Joe. Hopefully this means he’s found more meaningful opportunities somewhere else.

Yeah, they had given him plenty of chances.

Joe B is a lucky man to be bedding down Megan Olivi every night. I would just concentrate on her if I were him .

Yeah, they had given him plenty of chances.

I actually had him winning the 1st DJ fight in the finals of the Flyweight Tournament.

Very close fight though.

Joe had a rough end but his career was pretty good. Unfortunately he exsisted at the same time Dom ruled BW and Mighty Mouse ruled FW. If he wanted to he could prob still have some good fights with lesser opponents in other orgs. Hell, go to bellator and fight Horiguchi. I'd watch it.

Only a matter of time till Megan also gets the boot.. Laura Sanko about to take her job...

 

[Prologue]

Joe's ok

 

[EndlessCritic]

Joe b Won kenobi will be missed.

Seems the end of the road for Joe B.

High level midget fighter who was never good enough for number 1.

Good fighter

 

[Pharenheit]

Was starting to enjoy the little manlet take beating after beating too

 

[ccc77]

Oh hey, that's my little bot account that broke the news. Very nice.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Maybe he's retired. Imo the best fighter to never win a major title, dude was top three in two divisions for about 10 years and he only really lost to the best of the best apart from that fight after a long time off against Sergio.
