I know that some of you are fans. A very welcome addition to the flyweight division.

Very welcome indeed.....some great fighters at Flyweight in the future for sure.....
This division will be exciting !!

How do you figure a rematch with McCall would go?

Vic-JofreBRASIL · 07-14-2012, 01:12 AM

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 ??

Rob_Floyd · 07-14-2012, 03:12 AM

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

Primate · 07-14-2012, 06:58 AM

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

Matty lll · 07-14-2012, 07:30 AM

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

Rob_Floyd · 10-02-2012, 11:47 PM

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.

Flea Man · 10-03-2012, 02:08 AM

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
