What If José "Pelé" Landi-Jons Had Fought in the UFC?

[Blanqa Blanqua]

Fun fact he was the founder Sherdog Jeff Sherwood's favorite fighter as well.

Nice fun fact!

Would have been a great addition.

Pele did not beat Lee Murray, but Pele at one point was probably the most terrifying guy in the sport
After loosing to him by ko Hughes would be the ufc champion later that year and go on his incredible run

Oh snap, you’re right! My bad—I’m gonna fix that. Thanks!

He would have been a great addition to UFC for sure, he was exciting to watch and very accurate, he was fearless and violent like all the old chute boxe guys. I don't think if he would have been UFC champ though because he was a bit inconsistent, but still he would have been fun to see in UFC and would have been involved in JBG fights.

Yeah, that’s a fair take. Pelé was pure violence—fearless, aggressive, and always looking to finish, just like the classic Chute Boxe fighters.

Yeah, the only reason I know this is because I remember Jeff talking about it back when S.R.N. was still a thing. Man, I actually miss the old days of the Sherdog Radio Network.

I get it! I miss them too, and I say that as the main producer for the present-day SRN.

Nobody remembers Lee Murray for his fight vs Anderson Silva...

He ko'd Tito Ortiz and then became the first multi millionaire MMA fighter.
