    I say yes. They'll give him a 0-0 D-level celeb who can't beat Brooks

    Then a 1-0 unknown who's only slightly better than the 0-0 guy

    Then a fighter with a 2-0 record

    etc etc

    They'll milk Brooks by matching him up with opponents with an identical record until he gets caught and lose.

    I think Brooks will be in the UFC for a long time without ever facing an actual UFC caliber fighter. It's going to be a fun ride.

    I thought they had signed Will brooks, I got really happy... but, sure, they will probably give him someone with a none to a few fights.

    I dont think it'll be another celebrity, I think it will be just some random amateur regional show fighter that looks beatable.

    Yeah. Rumor had it that it was going to be the green power ranger, who actually has MMA experience. But they have to make him win his debut.

    They'll give him a super easy opponent so that his fight will get sanctioned.

    What a great insight, who would have thought that the UFC would try to milk him as long as possible instead of having him get crushed instantly ?

    That's the thing, there is no easy opponents for him. The guy is 0-0 so as far as we know anyone can technically beat him

    I don't think there are easy fights for CM Punk.

    they'll HAVE to sign some 1-0/0-0 fighter just to get the commision to approve of it

    that is unless they host in Vegas because we know how "reliable" the AC there is

    ..duh. Those are the only fights they could get sanctioned for him. Guys with the same experience as him, which is basically none.
