    Check this kid out on the ufc shanghai. Hes prob the best young prospect I've seen. This should be a dogfight between he and Charles johnson.
    I'd love to see a future matchup between joshua van and kavanaugh.

    Lol, he looks like McGregor 2.0. Southpaw, same karate stance, same left hand counter, also switches orthodox. But instead of utilizing a more muay-thai stance like McGregor post Poirier II, he uses a traditional boxing stance. Kinda reminds me of Topuria as well.
    Lots of pressure, lots of feints. Pretty fun watch.

    Should be a good fight tonight. Loner is fast of foot and moves in and out well. 125 is hurting for talent in the top 10. I hope he kos this dude

    Oof. CJ was too big of a step up unfortunately, I predicted it as well.

    very very skillful and he looked amazing in round 1. Joshua Van folllowed the exact same career path, Lo’ener will be back.

    Pressure broke him down. He kept dropping his hands after every exchange. Kid relies too heavily on explosive movements.
    Johnson is on a pretty good run tho, even including his last fight.

    It's over for Ortega. He might get cut soon.

    Talented but zero discipline like his fellow Mexican American Gastelum(an even bigger waste of talent)

    I dont think he will get cut quite yet, because if they haven't cut Cody Carbrandt then they wont cut Ortega, at least until his contract runs out. No one really knows anything about Ortega´s UFC contract, but some have speculated that he is a couple more to go.

    But hes going to end up with serious brain damage if he continues fighting this way at this level. He is aging out of the sport while taking brutal beatings in these fights.
