Why did the UFC decide to ruin Benoit’s career?

Nah, Moicano is the type of fighter that bounces up and down the ladder, a gatekeeper kind of guy, and he's 35 years old at 155.

It was supposed to be his bounce back fight and he screwed it. Nothing to do with the UFC.

 

[BabyBlue_Bomber]

The UFC is the big leagues. Nobody should be being protected or avoiding anyone…

The record padding and safe fights should be happening in the smaller shows en route to the UFC…

 

[Equinox Shadow]

He's still very young. Still can get things turned around. Maybe he should move up to WW and see what happens.

He had some potential, but now is 0-2 and his best win is… Matt Frevola? Why the heck did the UFC suddenly throw this guy to the wolves? Porier brought the worst gameplan in history of “attempt endless guillotines even though he’s never guillotined anyone in his career” and still knocked Benoit out. Then Moicano, a fringe ranked guy, absolutely embarrasses him in front of a home crowd.

Any division that's not MW

Come on MW isn’t THAT bad.

UFC fast track, better know yourself before joining.

End thread.

There's not much to suggest there are WORLDS of difference between the likes of Frevola and Moises, who you shat on, vs Moicano, who've you've included in "the wolves" with Poirier.

Moicano is much closer to the former than the latter

Moicano is on a really nice run.

The matchmakers can't make miracles happen unfortunately. They put him against a guy that he should have had a showcase against, Moicano is typically a slow starter and takes a lot of damage in the early rounds, and BSD is the opposite, but this fight was flawless victory for Moicano even coming in with a messed up shoulder.

The proverbial leave Brittney alone moment when your fav gets his ass beat is priceless

 

[VinceArch]

That tough guy DDP/Jiri style doesnt get you to the belt in skilled divisions.

Alright, time to stop.

"Ruin his career" Lol a 2 fight skid isn't the end of the world especially when he's not even 30 years old yet. Did Gaethje "ruin his career" when he was knocked out back to back by Alvarez & Poirier?

 

[Poirierfan]

Moicano was supposed to be a layup tbf.

People that knew both guys skill sets and experience knew that wasn't the case.

 

[Poirierfan]

Not many foreign fighters main event a UFC in their own country...

TS needs to consider BSD lucky for having been given the opportunity to get his ass kicked in his own country. The UFC did him a favor.

 

[Neck&Neck]

BSD’s face was a belewn

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Gotta throw them in the deep end at some point.

Imagine if they “built up” Jon Jones for 3-5 more years b4 he fought top 10 guys. What a waste it would have been. The only way you know if they’re ready is to find out

 

[jsbx45]

Sad post is sad.
Don't worry french sherdogger I know you are new to MMA but being 0-2 isn't a OMG HIS CAREER IS OVER ALARM.

FFS he's 5-3 in the UFC. He has beaten mostly unranked guys and taken a couple of fucking horrendous beatings. He is violent AF and fun to watch when he's not getting smashed. He just doesn't seem to be the cream of the crop.

Any division that's not MW, LHW, HW.

Watch out got a next gen intellectual fight fan here! (Or do you prefer connoisseur?)

 

[Guy LeDouche]

Ruin?
They gave him a huge opportunity. To be the face of a foreign market and be their French poster boy.
It’s on him that he didn’t perform under the bright lights.

Now do I think they pushed him a little too hard and too fast through the ranks? Absolutely.

They shouldn't have given him Dustin when they did. Should have slow rolled him into the Top 5.

Before this fight I would have said someone like Moicano, who is good but looks shaky on the feet. I know BSD hits harder than Moicano on the feet and was sure he would rush him and hurt him early. Guess that's why I don't bet on MMA lol
