Why is Fig playing with his recently success stricken career like this?

Pretty sure we're not "all fans" of him. Not really interesting to me. Also the fact he came in 2.5lbs overweight vs Benevidez their first matchup. I'll never be a fan.
 
I dont agree.

I give the slight edge to CCC but I REALLY want to see the fight.

Really its his only obvious money match in the division, its either that or move up.

I suspect he's hoping to win at the weekend and start off a fued with Cejudo at the PPV or in the press conference afterwards.
 
Surprised how many think Fig could beat Cejudo. That's the highest of praise.

I'd love to see it.

Don't you think Fig vs Cody does much? I suppose he could in theory fight any Bantamweight willing to move down which opens a few more options up. Perhaps Edgar or TJ or someone else could give it a go, not sure any are as big as Cejudo but potential money match ups I think(also not saying this should happen, just speculating).

Not sure you'll see TJ fighting at 125lbs when he comes back and Cody I think would need a bit more wind in his sails at 125lbs plus of course is currently laid off with covid after effects for who knows how long.
 
This fight would be awesome, pay each man a 1 million each to show and its on.

Good points, but Cejudo could would also be a while away though you'd think, Cody hopefully recovers and TJ presumably has a win by the time any Figgy vs Cejudo fight is close to being booked.. Unless of course Figgy smashes Moreno and is immediately ready yet again, but for a fight like Cejudo you'd think he'd want some time to prepare.

TJ might feel like he's got unfinished business, would be interesting to see if he does try that division again, I guess it really depends who he fights next and how that goes, if he comes back and loses at Bantam maybe he'd make the quick jump back down, CCC being in the picture again may or may not affect this decision equally.

I say instead of cutting contracts exchange all of them for Mighty Mouse and lets see a 4 man tournament between MM,CCC,TJ and FIG. with Cody as the backup option or instead of TJ, depending on health.

Triple C destroys him and makes it look easy. There's very very few elite fighters at 125. Just b/c Fig raped JoeB doesn't mean he's an elite P4P fighter.
Triple C took out Dillashaw, Marlon and Might Mouse. That's one of the most impressive 3 fight runs in MMA history.

Cejudo also lost to Joe B lol

He didn't beat MM btw

He's made ridiculous strides this year and we've all become fans. The man is incredible.


That said, why call out Cejudo right now?
Why fumble everything you've accomplished by having Triple C come back and separate you from your consciousness.

Fall back Figgy!
CCC would melt him, easily

Honestly I think Fig would violently, like more violent then usual, send Cejudo into permanently retirement.

Lotta young accounts in here trolling that cringejudo shit.
Maybe if the little guy didn’t end his career by calling out washed up commentators and 40 year old former featherweights I’d agree.

Cringiness aside U cant deny Cejudos skills. He transformed himself into a world class karate based striker while maintaining his elite wrestling ability. Few are as well rounded in todays landscape. Yan probably gives him a good fight but i favor triple c. Who else is there aside from Fig? Sterling? Nope. The Ghost of Aldo would give him a fight for 2 rds max. I also believe Cejudo has figured out MM, but a rubbermatch should happen down the line. Fig at flw is his toughest matchup and if he gets his wish at a crack at Volk, id slightly favor the macedonian due to his sheer size(lol bet he dosent hear that often), but skillwise Henry us superior to Alexander.

If Cejudo comes back its really a contest between Yan and Figgy who gets to fight him, you'd have expected Yan in the bigger division hype wise previously but Figgy's recent hype is arguably stronger.
 
Gotta strike while the iron is hot. People don't care about his division still, just him. Gotta get the spot light while he can, can't blame him. He's not as annoying as Masvidal and seems much more talented.
 
I dont know who I'd have as favorite in that fight. I think Moreno fight will tell us a lot about Fig. Moreno is legit and if Fig dominates him, fuckin hell that'd be some statement.
 
If he beats CCC he would take all his clout. You sound like a coward
