I dont see this on the front pages. Wow. What a banger of a matchup!!!

 

[DougieJones]

BB's fists are going to find Waldo within 5 minutes. This is where the streak ends

Damn Waldo doesn’t get a sixth fight in 2025, Dana must not want him to have the record

 

[Neck&Neck]

Black Beast could become champ in 2026

They could FR place him on one of the two upcoming cards

Fighting Lewis on the first Paramount card is great though

 

[xhaydenx]

Waldo sorta gets bullied by big power punches a lot. Probably not going to be good when it's Black Beast lobbing them at him.

 

[gentel]

tf? Salsa Boy literally deserves the title shot already

 

[Mongoosemk12]

So how does this affect us getting Lewis on the White House card?

 

[Gamer007]

The exposure is crazy bro, this guy is about to fight a 3rd time in a 3-month period, after suffering an eye poke one week after Tom did.

Yea but if Waldo got a sixth fight in before January hed have the record for most ufc fights in a year lol Dana fucked him

 

[The_Renaissance]

This is the fight that needed to be made, pleased with this. Gotta give massive props to Waldo for his activity and streak. This fight really could go either way, but I've got a funny feeling Waldo finishes him.

Acosta likely finishes Lewis in 2.

 

[Mind Mine]

BB has about an equal chance of getting the HW belt as Acosta. A puncher’s chance.

 

[Captain Herb]

Lewis has a puncher's chance but he's old. I doubt that he finds Waldo

 

[Blastbeat]

Waldo aint ready for balls that hot
Derrick KOs him at some point i think

That is a shame, he really deserved the sixth fight. Hopefully they gave him a huge bump in pay on the new contract.

This will be a great fight two big sluggers going at it. I think this comes down to who tires first.

Acosta likely finishes Lewis in 2.

Unfortunately I feel this way as well and hate it but if it does then Dana should make gain vs waldo for the interim title just to fuck with Tom.

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

Waldo has won me over as a fan via activity and the 2 KOs but I'm still picking Lewis via ko. This is the fight I figured we'd see too.

 

[Lee Danger]

Waldo's recent fights made me a fan of him, as other users said: they both have a puncher's chance but Lewis imho is just better at it.

 

[burningspear]

Waldo seems to be able to take the heat, hope he wins, the recycling of old HWs isnt exciting.
