How do you figure a rematch with McCall would go?

Re: Jussier "Formiga" da Silva signs with the UFC
 

I think McCall would win again tbh......(at the time was a big surprise to me, but I didn´t know McCall before that fight)
Jussier´s stand up needs some work yet, he looks too harmless there......IMHO.

This remember us how great are his takedowns though.......
How do you figure Jussier vs Benavidez and Johnson, Rob ??

Re: Jussier "Formiga" da Silva signs with the UFC
 

I think he could beat Johnson, but it's a tough fight. I think someone would edge out a decision.

He would have a rougher time against Benavidez, I think. Benavidez is going to be tough to beat at 125.

About time man !!! , excellent addition

Re: Jussier "Formiga" da Silva signs with the UFC
 

Flyweight is starting to get interesting, once the get the championship sorted out

Re: Jussier "Formiga" da Silva signs with the UFC
 

He's a good addition, flyweight is coming along nicely.

Re: Jussier "Formiga" da Silva signs with the UFC
 

So he'll be fighting John Dodson in a number one contender match this Friday.

By all accounts, Dodson is near impossible to take down, and he should enjoy a striking advantage. Tough fight for Formiga.

Re: Jussier "Formiga" da Silva signs with the UFC
 

I've seen a fair bit of Dodson and his TDD is insane.

You think he'd be outmatched here but I'm picking him to blast Jussier on the feet.

A bit late to watch this guy but now definitely can't wait to see him fight. Plenty if good fights coming in flyweight
