Which Fighting Nerd will be the first to get a strap?

[prime_lobov]

Caio is probably the closest right now, but I think Prates would have the easiest time beating the current champ. 170 has an extremely weak champ compared to 185, where Dricus is underrated.

Jean Silva and Ruffy have a potential longer road because of their deeper divisions.

They prolly all own strap on's, but that's none of my business.

 

[Fact Checker]

I’d take Jean Silva over Volk right now.

Ruffy is cooked in a deep division…

Caio has a good chance of beating DDP, he’s cleaner, just as disciplined, and understands the point fighting game.

I think Belal is ripe for the picking… if JDM doesn’t get him then Prates has a good chance of doing so.

Michal Oleksiejczuk. You will see what happens when you combine elite polish genetics with brazilian fighting knowledge, just watch.

 

[theincognito]

I can see Jean Silva getting the first crack at Volk.

Who else is there? Murphy or Evoloev? Neither have any hype.

Aaron pico baby

Silva looked good. I think he has one more fight before a title shot. They need to get Ortega out of the top 5.

Jean is waaaay better than Pico

Jean is waaaay better than Pico

I think it’d be a sick fight

Thankfully Ortegas going to lightweight

 

[DrRodentia]

I think it's wrong to label Belal an extremely weak champ. He's a stylistic nightmare for a lot of guys, including his next opponent. Despite of what you think about his fights or his style.

 

[theincognito]

Maybe so, but I don't think he has the chin for that.

Besides it'd be better to use Pico to take out one of those boring guys, Murphy or Evoloev, who are not KO threats to him. He has the style to beat them both.

Silva and Ruffy are the best two. Things like champ, contenders, match-up with who the champ is right now all factor in. I think DDP soundly beats Caio. Not sure if DDP will be champ when Caio gets a crack. Can see Caio drowning Khamzat though. Who knows who will be champ when Caio gets his opportunity . Belal has legit shot to be at Carlos, because he wins fight she just shouldn't. Think Shavkat gets that belt though and Islam may jump up. Seems like line for him.

Ruffy beats everyone except maybe Islam and Ilia right now, just LW seems to have more politics than anyone and guys like to sit on their rank. I think he can beat Islam is he can keep it on the feet, that's tough. Don't know if Ruffy beats Ilia. Can see Ilia winning or losing that one. Jean beats everyone at FW right now. Would have only taken Ilia over him. Ilia beats Volk if they fight right now, Silva beats Movsar, Silva beats Yair.

Would say maybe Silva.

UFC needs to sign Icaro Brito right now.

He is a top talent in Fighting Nerds academy

People say that , right now, Icaro Silva vs Mauricio Ruffy is the most technical sparring in their camp!

He would add very much to UFC and we would have another exciting nerd on the octagon.

Well, Belal was on point that night and Leon not per usual. Still even how bad night Leon had, the fight ended him having Belal in some sorts of trouble.

[Koala]

Bo Rayo will suffer with Chimaev and maybe even Du Plessis
Prates relies a lot on an MT stance, and I am not sure how it fares with wrestlers
Ruffy is unranked in a crazy deep division
Silva is 1-2 fights from a TS and doesn't have a matchup nightmare in the division

I was about to write same thing. Silva is most likely because Volk looks like the most vulnerable champ

Does Silva have enough clout to get a title shot before Volk loses the belt though? I think Volk will either retire or lose pretty quickly.

Volk's next two potential opponents are Evloev of Yair. Should no doubt be Evloev. Anyhow, Volk will go right through Evloev and make it look easy. And he already beat Yair by TKO and will beat him again. After that you got Murphy? Not much of a threat.

So I think Silva can get there.
