What's next for BSD?

[fortheo]

How did Moicano beat this guy?

Much more experience and having an actual mma coach. Bsd had no mma coach for that fight and moican had like ten years more of mma experience than bSD. BSD is still skill building and probably won't peak In regards to skill level for another year or two.

 

[JKS]

He's on a solid streak with wins over Hooker, Dariush and Ruffy. I think he deserves a shot at a top 5 level guy again. I think the loser of Max/Charles would be good but I think those guys have a different mentality where it's big fights or retire, I don't think after another loss they're gonna want to fight up and coming contenders.

I think it's gotta be Paddy or Arman.

 

[Nihongi]

True. Arman is coming off an impressive win vs Dan Hooker all BSD did was impressively beat Dan Hooker.

 

[blunttruth]

BSD hasn't fought Gamrot yet. Poirier gave BSD and opportunity to fight up, and he may be due to return the favor to someone else. If he wants to keep active and Arman won't fight, he could fight Jalin Turner, Manuel Torres, Ziam, Alex Hernandez, Quillan, Klein, Chase Hooper, Jim Miller to name but a few.

 

[Harlekin]

Paddy vs BSD on a Paris or London card. People wouldn't have to fly far.
Both guys get schooled by the real top 4 anyway.

 

[Judge Lance Ito]

would love to see him beat the shite out of Paddy

Thinking the exact same thing

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Bellator

 

[CatchnShoot]

He did not look like a world beater last night.....title shot is premature at best.
Keep grinding.

Gamrot/Pimblett, and I would LOVE to see him in against Ruffy.

 

[Jokke]

Topuria vs. Gaethje
Arman vs. Holloway / Oliveira winner
Gamrot vs. BSD
Pimblett vs. Moicano
Fiziev vs. Hooker
Dariush vs. Ruffy

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

People will forget this pretty soon if they haven't already, but Ruffy wasn't even ranked that fight. The reason he caught a ranking a few months after was because Islam and Alvarez moved up, so 2 more people needed to fill into the rankings, which is how we got #14 Ruffy off the BSD loss and #15 Bahamondes off the Fiziev loss.

So Ruffy's 1-1 record against ranked opposition means he's gonna be at least #9 this week off that 1 good win

 

[Streeter]

.ax / Charles winner. Hes never going to be chsmp but hes a fun fighter who is great in fun fights .

 

[PeterGriffin]

im sorry but what the hell are you talking about?


how is he staying active if he has only had one fight in 2025 and one fight in 2024?

If he wants to "stay active" he should be taking fights. Fights like Arman vs BSD. Which is the biggest fight he can reasonably get without WAITING SOME MORE.

Arman can lobby for a fight, but in the end, the UFC has to give him an opponent.

If they won't, how is that Arman's fault?

 

[Koro_11]

BSD is in a good spot anyone of the top 4/5 paddy/charles/max/arman are next and he can win will be a legit contender.

How is Paddy top 5, has he ever beaten anyone in the top 10 even, let alone top 5?

 

[RockyLockridge]

Arman can lobby for a fight, but in the end, the UFC has to give him an opponent.

If they won't, how is that Arman's fault?

Again, What the hell are you talking about?

the UFC offered arman a fight with gamrot long long ago. He himself said no.





He said all this, then fought dan hooker anyway. The UFC offered him fights, he just says no. He's not a victim. He's a perpetrator.

Yes, but did he not then fight Hooker?

So he did fight, and he fought a higher-ranked opponent than Gamrot.. He didn't want to fight down, but had few options. Should he not worry about his own brand? Why is it an issue when Arman tries to lobby for a particular fight or opponent, but not others?

how many excuses for him are you going to make??

first it's the ufc doesn't offer him fights, then he should get to take only the fights he wants?

Gamrot had a somewhat recent relevent win over Arman in a main event. It's completely reasonable that he be asked to take that fight.


Bare inmind it took 18months from him pulling out to get a fight with hooker. he could have fought 3 times in that time

Who's making excuses for Arman? Arman deserves a TS as much as any other LW right now so it's not an "excuse". The guy's rich already, so he really is doing this to test himself, he's not even in it for the money. Gamrot is 1-2 in his last three with two losses to guys Arman beat.

I've liked BSD since day 1, he comes to bang and is perfectly happy in a war of attrition. I'm just as content watching him fight as I am Arman, and I have nothing against him.

The UFC is to blame here. They let Ilia fuck the LW division up. They enabled him, as they did Conor. And the UFC and the fans got fucked over by some diva (again) and the UFC's frontrunner by having an axe to grind. JG vs. Paddy was the interim title no one wanted. If Arman's trash as so many think, just should have just given him the interim shot and be done with him when he loses, right?
