    How do you figure a rematch with McCall would go?

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

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