Intro breaking down every ranked fighter in the UFC the first fight is Rodrigo nasimo in the heavyweight division Heavyweight Rodrigo nento kind of shows how easy it is to get ranked in the heavyweight Division I mean he best win is D El mayz twice and he's managed to become ranked taking into account that he has been koed by Derrik Lewis I think he's just an easily replaceable fat heavyweight he's managed to become ranked fair play he's a semi-decent Grappler I think if somebody like wild o as a costra or Mick Parkin maybe gets a good win I think that he's easily replaceable in the rankings nasy Mentor he's just a decent Grappler he had a good Main Event against Derrick Lewis and to be fair to him he was kind of winning that Derrick Lewis fat because of his grappling until obviously got KO he's just the F heavyweight he's managed to get in the rankings I think Mick Parkin replaces him while wildor CS a Costa I don't really know what to say about this guy he's not going to be I don't think he's going to be staying in the rankings for a long time he hasn't really beaten anyone good yet so that's all I've got to really say about rrio asento he's decent he's a decent Grappler he's just not consistent enough and I don't think he's a to stay in the heavyweight division but he's a perfect example of how easy it is to get ranked in the heavyweight division when you've got two wins over donel Mayes and you've been koed by Derrick Lu and somehow you can make it into the rankings that just shows the state of this division so fair play for Rodrigo and Asko getting the main event but I think he's going to be replaced in the rankings very soon Marcos rero Del Lima this is Rodrigo ascento second account now Marcos rero Del Lima he's decent he's well-rounded again he's not really beating anyone amazing apart from wild or c as a Costa which I'll talk about in a second he beat Junior TAA finished him in his last fight but that was on like a day's notice and he just destroyed the leg kicks and he beaten Olden was and roov but he has beaten wdo C A Costa which is quite an impressive win considering ctis aosta is probably one of the best unranked heavyweights right now but again he's not going to make it far when I think of Marcos rero Del Lima it just brings me back to UFC 291 when he got KO by Derrik Lewis pretty easily to be honest and he's also lost to blo ianov he lost to Romanov again fairly replaceable in the heavyweight Division I think if he got if he loses another fight and maybe there's another up andc in the heav weight division he's getting kicked out don't know who he's going to be matched up against I don't think he ever breaks into the top 10 but he's just another fairly well-rounded guy I wouldn't call him dangerous like I said he looked pretty decent against Junior TAA but that that being said it wasn't like I said it was on a day notice and Junior tafa wasn't prepared when he you Marcus rero de Li was just destroyed those legs he's just there and he's just there in the heavyweight division he gave us a good KO against Derrik Lu when he got knocked out that's all I've really got to say about Marcus rero Del Lima Alexander Romanov this guy was jelton Arma before jelton Arma was in the UFC I remember when this guy was first joining the UFC and there was just so many highlights of this guy picking people up ragd dolling them slamming them and that's kind of what he got known for his Judo and his wrestling he did it to Martin tber as well in that first round but it kind of got exposed pretty quickly especially in his recent fights that you've got to have a little bit more than just fat and weight you've got to just have more than size you've got to rely more on you've got to rely less on your size and being a physical Grappler if you want to make it in this division it worked against blo even of Marcos rero Del Lima and it's worked against a lot of opponents but in that there's just a lot of problems with this guy he's not really athletic he's not really got anything to offer on the feet and most importantly he has a terrible gas tank that Mar tber fight he won that first run against Martin tber because of his grappling and then he ran out of gas and you know lost Mar tobera when he fought Alexander volov he just took a couple of shots from volov and this guy was completely out of there in the first minute and then when he fought somebody who was actually athletic and an actually you know an actual technical Grappler in jelton Ameda he got finished in the first round I think if he could clear a few things up here and there he could definitely you know put together a few more wins I don't think he's going to break into the top 10 like I said he's just got too many things going on his gas tank he striking and the fact that he's just not that reliable over the over the course of three rounds I say five rounds I don't even think he's got the gas tank to make it to three rounds to be honest um I do think he is going to squash of one of these fat heavyweights maybe if there's an up and coming fat heavyweight that he faces or if he you know gets kicked out the rankings and faces somebody there I definitely think he's going to deliver a very dominant grappling performance he was once a really fun Grappler nowadays he's not really got anything less to offer I mean he can't even make weight in the heavyweight division you're in the heavyweight division 265 is all you need to make and he still can't even make 265 a a lot of the time so yeah that's what I got to say about Alexander Romanov was once a fun Grappler these days there's not really much to say about the dude he's got a lot of problems going on so yeah that's all I got to really say about Alexander Romanov and I don't think he's ever going to make make it into the top 10 I just think he's going to have these fun performances against fat heavyweights and then other performances are going to get gassed out in the first minute then we've got Rosen strike this dude it's hard to it's kind of hard to see how good Rosen strike is because he's beaten a lot of kind of mid people and then he's also lost to a lot of great people like you look at the people he's beaten he beat a washed Alistar over him he beat a washed juny De Santos he beat sham gazer in his second fight in the UFC which I'm that was actually quite a fun fight well funny fight as especially when shimo Gaz went F first to the canvas and he beat a wash Andre alovi um so it's not really like he's got any Elite wins as of yet but then you look at the people he's lost to andu G vov almea blades those are some of the best heavyweights in the world or at least were the best heavyweights in the world at the time that he lost to them as well so it's kind of hard to gge how good he is and I think he needs to beat someone in that kind of middle section he needs to beat avatat raser and I think he has matched up against tat evasa for UFC 305 and I'd love to see him face Derek Lewis as well for that reason because he's a dangerous guy Rosen strike he looks exactly like Derek Lewis he's a very dangerous guy he's a good boxer he's just not Elite he's just not an elite Striker when he does face somebody elite elite he's going to lose um but at the same time he's had to stay he's had to kick out the fat heavyweights outside of the outside the rankings and I think he is going to stay in the rankings I think if he does beat taser as well which would be a really good win that's probably going to be his best win yet I think he will make the Top 10 rankings because he's probably going to get put against derck Lewis if he beats tuivasa but that's probably as far as it goes maybe could pick up a win over somebody like Serge Spivak if he's able to keep the distance it's hard to gauge with Roden ra I think there's a lot of matchups that he could have in the heavyweight Division I think him versus Marson tber could be good him versus Serge spach him versus tasa and most importantly him versus Dereck Lewis but I don't think he's ever going to make the top five I don't think he's ever going to be one of the elite of the heavyweight division he's just going to be a collecting a few finishes here and there probably going to lose a few more times too and that's all there is to Rosen strike he's a chill Gan heavyweight division not much to say then we've got Derrik Lewis one of the most beloved heavyweights I mean personality wise he's one of the best he's probably the most powerful guy in the heavyweight division right now or in the entirety of the UFC look at the dude this guy's beaten and lost to if you're a new UFC fan and you had no idea about the UFC and you just looked at Derrik Lewis's resume you must be so confused he's got win over Francis andaru vov blades to tiura Marcus rero de Lima Nasim Mentor these are the guys that Dereck loose is beaten and then he's also lost to Kier sir gon pavlovich ala spivac TI to iasa he's just probably one of the most inconsistent fighters in the UFC and he's impossible to bet on I feel like with Derrick Lewis we're going to see him lose a handful more times because he's just not that good he's not got the best grappling he faces an elite Grappler he's probably going to lose if he faes an elite Striker he's probably going to lose because he's not really Elite anyway he's got a lot of holes in his game and overall He's Just Not That reliable but he's got power and that's all he needs in the heavyweight division to succeed it's shown him multiple times that Alexander vov F he was losing the entire fight and he just landed one big shot and one he perfectly Ted that Tak down from CS blades and knocked him out that Maring to bur fat it just took one when it comes to Derek Lewis the nento fight in his last fight it just takes one he's going to get a handful more Kos he's going to get a handful more losses he's probably not going to break into the heavyweight rankings he is the most powerful guy in the UFC and he's it's kind of like a 5050 whenever Derk Le fights he's either going to get completely outclassed and probably finished within three rounds or he's going to land a devastating KO and get another win and take his pants off so for Derek Lewis great addition to the heavyweight division I'm glad that he's just not one another one of these stale fat heavyweights not really much to say about Dereck Lewis though one of the the the funnest heavyweights out there definitely the most powerful dude in the UFC and I just hope he continues on this koos streak but let's be honest he's not skilled enough to make that happen but man if we can see Derek Le get some more koos that's going to be great then we've got Tatu iasa I can't believe Tatu iasa dropped San and was moments away from being entered into a title fight against Jon Jones and now here we are and he's best when he's Derek Lees it and he's on a four fight losing streak all of them coming by way of finish two Evol is in needed of a win he is really in need of a win I mean at first when he lost a gone got finished by G pavlovich and vov it was like okay you've been finished in your last three but at least you're against the best heavyweights in the world and then in his last fight that was kind of painful when he got finished in the first round by Mar inur who I would not consider Elite and he's best wi he's Derrick Lewis he hasn't really beaten anyone good at the I mean he's Derrick Lewis wi that was a good KR but apart from that he's not really beating anyone good and I just hope he wins he's he's a fun guy he's a funny guy in the heavyweight division he's got a lot of personality he's got one of the best celebrations in the UFC I love that he's also got insane power and he can just pull it out of nowhere and he's just one of these fun fat heavyweights he's not just another one of these stale fat heavyweights that comes here to get a decision when the dude is going to come to brawl but that kind of cost him and to be honest he's not that bad he's actually a pretty good Striker as well you look at that fact with Alexander vov he was lucky piecing up Alexander vov with those leg kicks he came to brawl against Sergey Pavo wi obviously that costed him he almost finished s g in that fight at one point which obviously costed him he was really fun but it's got to the point where I kind of want him to win and he's going to be facing Rosen strike next and I hope he is able to get a win over Rosen strike because one or two more losses and we might not be seeing T Wither in the UFC I hope he picks up a win I hope he finally just gets a win against somebody because I don't want to see this guy get cut from the UFC and I just want to see this dude go from a KO straight into a shouey so tasa fun heavyweight hope he gets a win and I just hope he doesn't get cut from the UFC then we get into the top 10 we got Sergey spivac spivak's actually unironically probably one of my favorite Grapplers in the heavyweight division because he isn't just this generic double Leg Takedown tries controlling you on the ground tries looking for the sub that's not really the type of Grappler that seras Bak is he's got this quite interesting Judo kind of style where he likes getting people in the clinch rather than going for the Tak down and he just likes tripping people exhausting people the second you get back up he's just going to bring you straight back down when you get back up he's just going to bring you straight back down he did it to Tatu iasa he did it to Derek Lewis and that's kind of how how his style goes he just likes dragging people down bringing it up he did it to Greg Hardy as well but at the same time the second he runs into somebody with decent takedown defense or he runs into somebody that's has got a decent grappling base he loses it happened against Mar Tor it happened against Thomas it even happened against SRO Gan I don't know what's going on in that fight with SRO Gan because he had a good chance of beating sirro gon man because of the grappling but for some reason from the walkouts to the way he performed he looked like he did not want to be there I don't know if it was the French crowd or the occasion but he was absolutely [ __ ] himself against s g he's matched up against Martin tobero I think him versus tber at this point is probably 50/50 I would probably lean towards tobero winning that fight but for soak he's a fun Grappler um and he's definitely deserves to be in the top 10 of the heavyweight division for the people he's beaten I could have seen him being a Derek Lewis victim but he was able to get him down it's kind of 50/50 against Mar I'd like to see how he does against somebody like Ros and strike or something like that he's just a fun Grappler who he's again he's not really well-rounded he's not really got anything to offer on the feet so a Serge SP back fun Grappler don't really know what to say about him he needs to there's a lot of things he's got to work on I don't know if that s Gan fight was a big shock to him but he looked like he was absolutely [ __ ] himself in that fight looked like he didn't want to be there and that could be a problem of he is to get these high-profile Fs in the future then we have Mar tibera now the thing about Mar tber is a lot of people can of just hum he's he's the best of a bad Bunch he's the best fat heavyweight in the world is the way I like to look at tasa not tasa marber and he's kind of locked in in these last few years because he put to together a streak he finished to with in his last fight he's just really well-rounded as marur the problem is though he he doesn't get these flashy finishes he's not amazing anyway he's not super fast he's not super powerful he doesn't get these flashy finishes he hasn't got this insane personality so he's kind of easily forgettable in the in the heavyweight division but he's kind of been doing a lot of work under like a lot of people haven't been you looking at the work this guy's been doing I mean previous to the V if you take over the loss to Alexander vov and Tom aspal who were two of the best heavyweights in the world he's been on a massive streak he finished Sergey Spivak in his last fight in a main event finished tasa he beat Romanov as well or lovsky ianov and he's just really well-rounded I don't know really know what to say I don't think he's ever going to break the top five I think got a good chance of beating Sergey Spivak and he's kind of locked in in these past few years I just don't think he's got enough to beat the rest of these heavyweights I don't think he's quick enough I don't think he's got good good enough wrestling I don't think he's got a good enough hands but if he does beat sergus Spivak he's probably going to get a big fat from there if listen if if Martin beat Sergey Spivak who knows who he's going to be fighting next maybe it could be a Curtis blades maybe it could be a Sergey pavlovich and that's it's going to be a big opportunity for Mar tber he's good he's not overly exciting he's not got this flashy personality as marber he's just good and fair play to him for making it this far I do think he beats serus beak and he's just not I don't really know what to say about him he's not the most elite guy he's just pretty good then we got gel Arma yeah he's probably the most dominant Grappler right now in the heavyweight Division and he he got kind of Thro checked against Curtis blades and I'm going to be honest I did kind of celebrate when he lost to Curtis blades because he's just not the most interesting heavyweight in the world it kind of seems like when it comes to gelon Arma he's got this very dominant grappling kind of approach to it he liks to go for the takedown immediately he wastes no time and he's got good submission game but if he can't find the submission that's all he kind of has is holding people against the cjo controlling people on the ground he doesn't really tend to use ground and pound a lot he hasn't really got anything to offer on the feet and I really do feel like and listen he's got a good chance of beating a couple of these heavyweights ranked above him I think he's got a good chance of beating vov I think he's got a good chance of beating definitely got a good chance of beating San I think he's got a good chance of beating Serge pavlovich so it's not like he's completely terrible or anything and he you know he finished rollen strike he finished Romanov in his last fight he beat drik Lewis he kind of got yeah he made a mistake against Curtis blades but he's going to have a little bit more to offer he's going to have to progress his striking because when he faces somebody with good takedown defense like I said he's kind of a fish out of water he doesn't really have anything to offer when he faces somebody with good takedown defense so he's going to have to develop his strike in he's going to have to learn how to set up takedowns as well because he set his takedowns even though he's a really dominant Grappler he's very very readable but I will give him credit like I said he's a dominant Grappler he's super athletic he's a very technical Grappler super strong as well as gelan Arma so I think he will break into the top five eventually he's got a few things to to clear up here and there he's been calling out s gone for the longest time obviously G's now booked against vov and S gon would never take that fight against jelton ala he's way too dangerous but for jelton ala good Grappler hopefully he can improve his strike and and become a little bit more interesting because if not no one's ever going to root for him and I did celebrate when Curtis blades beat him but he's probably one of the best Grapplers in the division right now so fair play to jelton AA then we got stoic he is the greatest heavyweight of all time in my opinion I would say that stoic is the greatest heavyweight of all time beating Daniel Kier twice he's got a win over Francis andaru beat ay when aine wasn't washed beat Junior do Santos when do Santos wasn't wased beat vdom when vum wasn't washed beat olowski beat Mark hunt stage was able to hold on for a belt for quite a long time and he kind of dominated his era of the heavyweight division you look at the division nowadays most Champions can't even hold on to the belt for more than like a defense it seems like most Champions these days get one defense and they have leave the UFC or they lose the belt and to be fair he did lose the belt to Daniel Kier but he was able to get the win back over Daniel Cormier he did he did suffer The Knockout over Francis G we' talking about his current place in the current state of the heavyweight Division I just don't really think he has anything to offer he's been inactive he's like 40 over years old he's been out for a few years and his last fight he got knocked out by Francis and ganu he's getting a title shot and don't get me wrong I would love to see him beat Jon Jones but I just don't think it's going to happen I think Jones is going to go out there and beat him and hopefully after that Jones fight he does retire he's got a really good Legacy in the heavyweight Division I think it's a beatable Legacy but as of right now I would say he's the greatest heavyweight of all time good boxer Great wrestler I just think the division's moved on without him and he's kind of more of one of these old heavy like not old heavyweights in Edge I mean he is old but old is in like he's not really part of this new era of heavyweights I think if you get put him against somebody like Curtis blades if you put him against Tom aspell you put him against obviously Jon Jones s g these are the guys that are probably going to beat steepe because he's just not good enough for the current state of the heavyweight division but listen with that being said he is the greatest heavyweight of all time and I hope he he has a fairly safe fight with Jon Jones and he rides off into the sunset then we've got Alexander volov this dude might be one of the most disrespected heavyweights in the world now I have made a separate video on why vov is underrated leading up to that Sergey pavlovich fight and I'm going to be honest I did pick pavlovich to win I'm not going to act like I'm perfect right I did pick pavic to win that fight I'm not going to lie but looking at people's predictions people were making it out like Alexander vov is he's a can he's watched people are talking about Alexander vov the way you should be talking about Mar tibera he's really underrated you look at the people he's lost to he's lost to Aspen now blades and gone the three three of the best heavyweights in the world right now and he's over lost is to Derrick Lewis a fight in which he was dominating and then got caught in the last minute so you can't really shame V for that and look at the guys he's beating he's on a fre fight winning streak three of them can be by way a finish and one of them being a dominant performance against Sergey pavlovic where he made pavlovic look like his face were falling off and this might be a crazy take but honestly vov actually doesn't have that bad of a chance of becoming a champion if tomasel loses to C's blades and vov beats siron which will by far be his best win yet because he's lost his siron before he's going to get a ttle shot I mean if he is able to beat siron he's going to be getting a tackle shot in his next fight and I hope he does perform against SRO do I think he beats him no they thought before Gone was able to beat him and I think when vov does face the top three most elite guys in Aspen get gone and Blades I think he loses to them as he has before but he's a really good Striker he seems to have locked in these past few fights he's put together some really good wins and like I said if he gets a win over seral gone we're going to be seeing vov get a title shot which I don't think anyone expected a year ago from now he's not perfect as a fighter his ground game could be improved um and he's not the most consistent dude but he's one of the best heav WS in the world one of the most disrespected heavyweights in the world as well people calling this dude a caner I hope he performs against s g I hope he has a good fight and he's definitely one of the best heavyweights in the world right now and his ranking doesn't really show how good he is he should be ranked above Sergey pavich but obviously he lost to's blades and pavlovic beat blat they've got to put pavlovic at number three but vov is one of the best in the world and there's no doubting about it then we have Curtis blades I think Curtis blades is a nightmare matchup for most people in the heavyweight division that's the way I see Curtis blades I actually think it's a nightmare match up for Tom aspinal as well um kind of just seems like Curtis blad ships himself when it gets to a big fight he had a big fight with Derrik Lewis he shot himself and got koed he had a big fight with Sergey pavlovich he shot for one takedown in that fight I don't know what he was thought process was and he got KO for it and then he got koed twice by Francis andu in high profile fights so it seems like every single time CS blades gets into a in in a big fight he loses he has the win over Tomas but it's an injury and we're going to see how they do it UFC 3 or four and so proud and thankful that he was able to beat gelon armo and finally shut down gelon Arma because I did not want to see him succeed he beat Alexander vov which is a win that his aged really well he's beaten over he beat rolls strike he beat the Santos he's just a really good fighter his cut his blad he's probably the best pure wrestler in the division he's got really good double Leg Takedown he's really good at controlling people I would say he's probably the best pure wrestler in this Division and he's also very powerful on the feet he's sha multiple times in that fight with Chris Dorcas and his last fight with jelton Armeda he's very very powerful and that's why I think he he poses a big threat to Tom Aspen because of the wrestling threat that he has and the fact that he's dangerous everywhere he's got good ground and pound he's got good controlling with his wrestling and he's a very powerful guy Curtis blades he's got a I'd say he's got a pretty decent chance of beating Tom aspinal and he is definitely one of the best heavyweights in the world and that is shown by the people he's beating he is quite chiny and he is quite one of these guys that loses in these high profile fights but he's a chill guy as cut as blades he's one of those guys in the heavyweight division that you can't hit and I hope he does continue to kind of thr check some of these people I don't think he beats Tom Aspen now but listen May the best one win he's a great wrestler very powerful as CS blades one of the best in the world then we've got Sergey pavic I hate using the word Aura and I know I've made a video on this before but this dude's Aura has completely shifted before the fight with Tom aspinal he was the scariest man in the UFC he was the scariest in the UFC he was on a six fight winning streak all of them coming by first round KO it first it was to EV then it was Lewis or it might have been the other way around then it was Curtis blades which was his best win and he was he looked like he was going to be the future of the heavyweight division he looked Unstoppable and then he got knocked out by Tomas panal and then he lost a decision and got destroyed by Alexander vov and he's at this weird spot right now where I don't really know what's next for Sergey pavlovich because I I feel like people have kind of figured him out because you look at tuasa Lewis and Blades they all made mistakes against s against Sergey pavlovich they all tried to brawl against him don't want to brawl against Sergey pavlovich because he's accurate he's got high output and he's powerful you'd try and brawl with Sergey pavlovich he's probably going to Chin you and that's what Tom aspel and volov perfectly figured out Tom aspel circled him found a shot volov didn't engage in a braw he kept it Technical and for that reason they won the fs against Sergey pavlovich so I think pavlovich needs to offer a little bit more it would be good to see kind of a grappling base from Sergey pavlovic because I know he has a greo Roman wrestling background and it would be good to see him come in and use his kicks a little bit more rather than just that heavy front foot boxing style he's still scary and I can guarantee that he's going to finish a couple of these more fat heavyweights and if he does face the Serge not Sergey pavich Sergey spak and baret in his next fight he's probably going to finish those guys too he's scary he's dangerous but he's going to add a need to add a little bit more to his game rather than just the same thing that has worked for a lot of his fights which is that front foot boxing style and I don't kind of like how he pushed Alexander vov he's lost all his Aura he's lost all his height but we're going to see how we can bounce back so still scary but he's definitely kind of fallen off then we've got sirro Gan I don't really know how to how to explain sirro Gan he's had very good opportunities in the UFC let's put it that way he got a title shot from being Derek Lewis and then he lost to Francis andaru and he had a title shot from Tai to iasa so he's had pretty easy title shots in his UFC career and then he lost to Francis andaru which was a Fair close fight so we do like he lost a terrible people and he lost to Jon Jones which I guess in hand is quite a bad loss I just don't really know if SRO gone takes the UFC seriously I don't know if he cares about winning the belt I don't know if he really cares about Legacy I feel like he's kind of here for the money and that's not a disrespectful thing to say but he he ducked Curtis blades he ducked Tomas panel and he ducked Sergey pavic so it kind of makes me question does he really want this so badly um but he's he's got some good wins under his name I mean he's pretty much cleared out most of the heavyweight division rolls and strike Tu vaza Lewis Spivak the only people he hasn't been able to clear out of the elite of the division I mean he's got a win over Alexander vov which has aged really well well and we're going to see how those two guys match up against each other later this year at UFC Abu Dhabi and if he can beat Alexander vov he's probably going to get a ttle shot against Tom aspel and if he does fight Tomas now that's going to be so interesting to see but again he's just one of these guys in the heavyweight division which in my opinion is a little bit too one-dimensional he's got really good striking he's so athletic he's such a good kickboxer arguably the best kickboxer right now in the heavyweight division really good on the back foot as well and he will just piece people up every fight the only problem is he's just like I said onedimensional he doesn't have any grappling that got shown against Francis and ganu that got shown against Jon Jones and I think that would definitely get shown if he was to ever fight tomasin Allen gelon Arma so he needs to improve his grappling um but overall one of the best heavyweights in the world he's such a good Striker he's so athletic he's durable do I think he's going to win a Bel I just don't think he is unless he proves to me that he's improved his grappling so much and he wants to yeah I just wanted to become more active as well I mean one fight a year just isn't enough he needs to be fighting more than once a year because that is the rate that he's fighting at recently I feel like he's kind of lost his passion MMA so hopefully he can find that passion for MMA a little bit more hopefully he can improve his grappling but as I've right now I don't really know what's in the future for s g i mean if he beats vov he's getting a title shot don't think he wins a belt but he's fun to watch he's a good Striker he breaks people down so that's my thoughts on siron don't think he's ever going to win a champion but he's a good addition to the heavyweight Division I just wish he'd stop ducking people and then we've got Tom aspinal he is the best heavyweight in the world right now he is the people's Champion like he is genuinely the the hope of the heavyweight Division and even if you for for whatever reason dislike Tom aspel him losing to C's blades would ruin the heavyweight Division and I'll make a video on that in the future but anyway if we talk about Thomas pel specifically he's got the full package he's the fastest heavyweight in the world he's one of the most F he's one of the most powerful heavyweights in the world he's got really good striking he's got really good fight IQ as well his wrestling and his djit who were on point as well I mean finished Andre olowski finished Martin tibera finished spivac finished vov which is a really good win first guy to finish Sergey pavlovich when pavich was the most dangerous guy in the UFC and I feel like ever since that injury lost to C's blades we've seen a completely new Tom aspel like the new and improved Tom aspel the quicker aspinal the aspel that was had better fight at you just a much better fighter since his returned from that injury lockers against C's blades and he's going to be facing C's blades again and even though blades is a difficult guy like I said I think he beats Curtis blades and there's a reason that Jon Jones doesn't want to fight Tom aspinal there's a reason Jones has set his eyes on Steve because he wants no part of Tom aspel because aspel is the heavyweight King right now and it's going to be very hard to beat Tom aspin on the heavyweight division am I saying it's impossible to beat him I'm not saying that I think he does leave his chin quite wide up in the air and if one of these powerful heavyweights catches that chin to aspinal it could be very dangerous for aspinal but as of right now it looks like he's pretty much Unstoppable I can't see any heavyweight right now beating this dude and he's such a class personality as well you can't hate the guy so I'm glad that he's the heavyweight champion and it's kind of frustrating that Jon Jones is ducking him but at the end of the day he is the best fighter from the well one of the best fighters from the UK and he's definitely the best heavyweight right now so for Tom aspel yeah best heavyweight in the world and then Jon Jones even though he is the greatest of all time if I talk strictly about his career at the heavyweight division him moving up to heavyweight ruined the heavyweight Division I mean he won the belt in March of 2023 by beating s gone which was a good win because a lot of people were pigging s gone but since that he's done nothing he's waited out a year and his next fight is going to be in November 2024 to go from March 2023 to November 2024 is a massive jump and I hate the fact that he's coming back to Stipe as well it's not even like he's coming back to aspel or somebody like that he's coming back to stpe I hope he gets his fight done with Stipe I hope he has fun fighting stpe beating steepe and then he rides off into the sunset and then we can finally start seeing some movement with the heavyweight title pitcher he ruined the heavyweight division like I said greatest of all time but if we talk about his heavyweight career strictly I don't really know to say he's held up the heavyweight Division and he's the the worst Edition so that's what I got to say about Jon Jones and that is pretty much the heavyweight division clean up in the rankings and then we move on to light heavyweight then we have azamat Light Heavyweight muranov in the light heavyweight division he's a decent Prospect in the light heavyweight division he's undefeated he's going to be taking on Alonzo Medfield I think it's for the Abu Dhabi card the fight night or it might be UFC 308 he's one of the Abu Dhabi cards later this year but no he's a good Prospect in the light heavyweight division he's a really good boxer as well he's got really good hands he's very very powerful I don't know how far he makes it in the L heavy weight division because first of all he hasn't beaten anyone good his best win is Dustin jakobe and we know how [ __ ] that guy is um and apart from that I mean he's in the L heavyweight division which is absolutely full of Strikers so you need to have a you know Elite striking to make it for in this division you can't just have a decent base I think he'll make it into the top 10 and I do think he will beat Alonzo Manfield at UFC Abu Dhabi like I said he's a good Prospect he hasn't fought for a while he's got really good hands as well he just needs to show it against somebody good the problem with mukanov is he does get hit quite a lot like he's very open to getting hit with saw in that Dustin Jacobi fight Dustin Jacobi was landed a lot of shots on him so I think if azamat muranov works on his defense he could make it into the top 10 again this division is just full of strikker so it's really difficult to compete when all you've got is a decent boxing but I'm interested to see him fight he's fun to watch um and I yeah I just want to see him fight against Alonzo Manfield and I think he will beat Manfield at UFC Abu Dhabi which brings us on to Manfield himself Manfield is a bit of a weird one he's just a really explosive wrestler with powerful hands kind of like the Michael Chandler of the Alonzo field and similar to Michael chanler his fight IQ is terrible he literally he had a scrap with Dustin jacobe he I wouldn't say it was a close fight but he had a fairly decent scrap with Dustin jacobe which again doesn't really look good considering Dominic Graves was able to finish him in the first round and I just don't understand his fight IQ in some situations his last fight against Carlos ubber at UFC St Louis just sprinted towards him and got koed in like 12 seconds I don't understand the mindset he's got good wrestling he's fairly well-rounded for the division but I just don't think he's good enough he's hands out good enough he's not good enough for a striker he has beaten Paul Craig and Jimmy cre but again they ain't the best they a't the crew of the crop for the light heavyweight Division I don't think he'll make it into the top 10 and I think after his next loss he'll probably get kicked out of the rankings but I think he'll be one of these guys that is fairly dangerous for the unranked fighters in the light heavyweight division like I said he's a good wrestler he's explosive it's just his fire IQ is is lacking and he's just not particularly great in any any area his stamina is quite questionable as well he hasn't got the best gas tank as well for the light heavyweight division stuff of Min field maybe he shock I mean maybe he'll shut down the undefeated Prospect in Asam M murza can of but I don't think he will he's just an explosive wrestler who happens to have terrible fight IQ but it brings him in the into the rankings in the light heavyweight division which kind of just shows how uncompetitive this division is so just an explosive wrestler with hands I guess is all you can really say about Alonzo Medfield Dominic Reyes the only man in the UFC to beat Jon Jones I've even counted it as a notable win this dude beat Jon Jones it's kind of crazy how he beat Jon Jones and then since then just went on a massive streak of losses but I think he beat Jon Jones I think most MMA fans everyone in the arena everyone watching at home everyone even Joe Rogan thought that Dominic ryes was a he got the win over Jon Jones the only people that thought Jon Jones beat Dominic Reyes was Jon Jones himself he beat he beat Jon Jones which is a win that has aged extremely well the only man to beat the go and he's also got some other good wins Vulcan new who's now one of the top light heavyweights in the world Jared can when he was at light heavyweight OSP but we have to make mentioned his losing streak in his prime this dude was so dangerous but he went chin he got kind of I won say he skill deteriorated it was just his chin and the fact that he got caught a lot had that brutal spinning elbow against y Braska which is one of the best koos in UFC history got flatlined by yambla hoit got koed by a jab from Ryan span which again isn't a good loss looking back on it because Ryan span is an absolute camp but it was good to see that Dominic Rey was get got back in the winning column in his last fight against Dustin jacobe I thought jacobe was able to get would have done enough to get the win but do Rays finally got back in the winning column which is always good to see um and I want to see him face Anthony Smith two washed guys going at it and we'll talk about Anthony Smith in a second but yeah Reyers the guy that's known for going on a big losing streak the guy that's known for beating Jon Jones but he's back in the winning colum he got a good finish over Justin jaob I've always said that Dominic Rayes is a dangerous guy to fight he's not just I don't like necessarily using the term wash with Dominic Reyes because even though I just did he's still got skills and he's still dangerous the only thing is he's very very vulnerable in the octagon it's kind of like if you catch before he catches you the fight's over for him but no Dominic Ray is still dangerous and yeah I want to see him versus Anthony Smith and luckily we don't have to see this dude get cut from the UFC anytime soon because he is back in the winning column Bogdan gusov one of the more entertaining prospects in the light heavyweight Division and he got a good win over Ryan span which obviously kicked Ryan span out of the rankings and I don't know what's next for bdan gusov do not Dominic R Johnny Walker did say he wants to move to the heavyweight division but I would like to see Bogdan against Johnny Walker and I think he has real potential does bdan now we did lose to Vulcan new in his UFC debut but I like Bogdan a lot he's really well-rounded but the main talking point is his striking he's a really crafty Striker he's really fun to watch um very confusable I like how we have Derek Lewis and Rosen strike in the heavyweight division we have Bogdan and Anthony Smith in the light heavyweight division have that as the comment event for the leis and Rosen strike card but no Bogdan gusov again not much to say he's a really good Striker he's fun to watch in the L heavyweight Vision he's dangerous and I think he will make it into the top 10 it's a bit too early to say if he makes it into the title pitch because he has lost of Vulcan usir and he's the best when he Ryan span who is terrible um but yeah I want to see him fight I want to see him get a top 10 opponent next maybe somebody like Johnny Walker or somebody else who's coming off a loss maybe they actually do Bogdan versus Anthony Smith I don't know but bdan gusov good Prospect for the light heavyweight division again I don't really know what's next for this dude I think I need to see a little bit more before I fully assess his skills against the rest of the division then we have Anthony Smith this dude is just so mid like he's been around for ages he's kind of like some would say a veteran but he's just not that good he's never really been that good he's very I just don't really get it with Anthony Smith like he's not terrible anywhere but he's not great anyway he's a decent wrestler he's a decent I mean he's not really a decent Striker is he It's Kind he's just a really midf fighter and it's kind of hard to root for Smith when he loses every other fight most of them being by finish if not it's just a boring fight um and he's just so Random as well like I was fully expecting veto patrino to go in there and finish him and he finished veto patrino in the first round I fully expected him to beat Roman Del Roman Del beat him he's got a lot of losses glov desera mag anv Johnny Walker Thiago Santos round Tre kod him um Jon Jones as well he's got some decent wins on there like I said Vulcan new to Mir he beat Ryan span twice but they were both gifted wins the VTO P Tre of frek was good and he kind of just relies on beating up cans or beating up these washed guyss he's good enough to make it into the top 15 because for some reason whenever he's fighting a prospect or whenever he's fighting an absolute he'll be able to take them to a decision or be able to beat them but whenever he fights anyone with an ounce of skill he just gets destroyed he's just not really that good of a fighter and it's he's kind of delusional the way that he's calling out Pereira the way that he's calling out the like heavyweight division the way that he's just so confident in his skills which I don't know why he is he's shown up against the top guyss multiple times and lost he's just not that good as Anthony Smith and I just don't really have any interest watching him he's not the most entertaining gu to watch IA it seems like whenever he fights it's like a light sparing session and he still somehow loses those so Anthony Smith good enough to make it into the rankings but he's just not someone you really want to root for because he's just there's nothing going for him I think he's better as an analys anal can't even speak myself but no I just think he's better on commentary not like the actual commentary but you know the behind the scenes commentary rather than fighting but if he can fraud check someone I guess that could be fun um let's just feed him to another up andc and give him Rays then we have Carlos Uber I think he is the dark course of the light heavyweight Division and I know I've mentioned Prospect a lot in this video already for the light heavyweight division but this dude I think really has top five potential he's so good he's young he's hungry he's I mean a physical specimen as well this dude is massive with a massive reach as well he's accurate and he's just well-rounded and dangerous that win over Alonzo mfield in like 12 seconds just showed how accurate this dude is um he has lost before but he's on an absolute streak full of chaos and submissions he was matched up against Jamal Hill and I was actually picking olberg to beat Jamal Hill I think he's got you know champ material again we need to see how he does against somebody in the top five and I hope he does get a top five opponent in his next fight I don't know who he's going to fight whether it be yambla hoit a Johnny Walker maybe is Jamal Hill res scheduled I don't know who he's going to be facing next but he's just a really good guy in the L heavyweight division a real good Prospect to root for and like I said I really do think he is going to make it into the top five this dude has just been decimating people every single fight finishing people his finishing ability is amazing he's well-rounded he's tall dangerous ous accurate he's just got everything going for him to make it for a good Prospect in the light heavyweight division so I think caros bug will make it far I think he will make it into the top five and I just want to see him fight again I've been wanting to see him fight ever since UFC St Louis um it was unfortunate we didn't we didn't get to see the fight with Jamal Hill because I really do think he would have put Jamal Hill out of there especially considering Hill got KO a few months prior to that fight but no I want to see him face the top five opponent best Prospect in the light heavyweight Division I just can't wait to see this dude fight Vulcan deir definitely not the best personality wise I think he's probably got the most boring personality in the light heavyweight division but he doesn't have the most boring fight style I hope he gets a big fight next that KO over Johnny Walker was really impressive and I hope he does get a ranked opponent in his next fight I mean not a ranked opponent he already is getting ranked opponent I mean I hope he gets like a top five opponent I really do think they should do Vulcan versus yam bloi again he's not somebody that's ever going to be Champion he's been koed by yasa he's been beaten by and KV Kier demolished him back in the day lost to Ray and Smith as well and krylo he's quite chinny as vcan news to me you catch him with a big shot he is quite chinny but he's also very powerful he's a really good Striker and he's just a really powerful Striker out that as we saw in that Johnny Walker fight as we saw when he you know just destroyed Paul Craig to a decision and he's got a really good win over bokang gusov which has aged really well so I think he's really good in the light heavyweight division the perfect Prospect Destroyer you know if there's a prospect up and coming in the light heavyweight division Vulcan will be the guy to finish him um he's just always going to be one of these guys that is dangerous in the light heavyweight division he's dangerous I think he has got potential to be top five if he keeps on the way he's going because he brutally KO Johnny Walker but again that's not saying much considering how chinny Walker is but no good in the lot heavyweight division dangerous fun fighter to watch and I hope he gets yamit next if he can beat yamah hoit we might have to be talking about Vulcan May potentially getting in the title conversation because he is a good Striker and he is powerful so Vulcan to made no time hope he gets yamaho next good powerful Striker then we have khil rry very underrated is khil rry now he is a bit stiff with his striking um but no he's really good as K rre he's very very powerful and his boxing is very good as well and he seems to have improved a lot in the L heavyweight division again he was schedul to fight Jamal Hill and I think that would have been a really good test for him and I hope he does get somebody in the top five because he has got some really good wins um obviously got that KO win over Anthony Smith which is definitely his best win beat Paul Craig as well and the other wins are kind of cans and he has lost to a couple of the guys as well he lost to Johnny Walker he lost to Tyson Pedro he even lost to maau but I think khil rry really does have top five potential do I think he becomes a champ ion no I just think again he's in the division full of Strikers and I think out of the mo all most of the strikers in this division he just doesn't strike me as one of the best I mean he's got really good boxing and he's very very powerful he sits down on a lot of his punches and this dude is tough but I just don't think he's an as an as an elite strike as the rest of the division but he's dangerous hope he gets the top five opponent I'm hoping we do see him scheduled against somebody I don't know what's next for him either but he's just a good guy in the light heavyweight division to watch fun guy dangerous and it's either going to be him getting out out of there getting put out of there or it's going to be him finishing somebody else so KH round tre good dangerous guy in the light heavyweight division Johnny Walker I don't know if he's going to be staying in the light heavyweight division he said he wants to move to heavyweight which I think he could do if he fights these fat unranked heavyweights definitely the goofiest dude in the UFC I mean you look at this dude's finishing compilation every single time he gets finished they are the most goofy finishes in the UFC the fight against Magan and C where they got KO against the K the Jamal Hill delayed KO that was such a weird KO the fou with Nikita Klo he just got brutally slept against Vulcan the Cory Anderson fight he's very very chinny as Johnny Walker and he's very goofy I don't understand why he doesn't switch anything up and I just don't think he's really built for the division anymore I think like I said that there's too many Elite strikes in this division for Johnny Walker he's still dangerous and Technical he got a good finish over Paul Craig he was able to beat Anthony Smith to a decision um and like I said the khil rry win his age really well and he got the win over Ryan span and qaba but again these aren't the best wins in the UFC I just think he should should switch to to the heavyweight Division if he continues fighting these unranked fat heavyweights in the heavyweight division in the most uncompetitive division in the UFC I think he'll have a chance he's just a good technical Striker but again if you catch him with a big shot he would just get KO in the most goofy fashion possible he is the goofiest guy in the UFC very very chinny as well so for Johnny Walker I don't know how long how long he's left for his career I think he is on the other end of his career probably going to retire soon um I think him versus Dominic Ray will genuinely be the definition of who gets chined first but yeah move to the heavyweight division get some free wins and retire before you honestly get some serious CTE because this dude has been brutally koed countless times now Nikita krylo I would say this dude is the most underrated like heavyweight right now I mean first of all he is very well-rounded I'd say he's the most well-rounded guy in the light heavyweight division at least outside of the top five I think he'd be a real threat for a lot of the guys in the top five he's coming off some really good wins his last fight he submitted Ryan span I know I keeps dis you know dissing Ryan span I just want to know where Nikita CR over is though this dude has been gone for so long that Ryan span fight was all the way back on the morab versus Yang card that was like early 2023 I think he's got surgery or something I just want him to come back to the UFC because he could potentially be a big threat to the light heavyweight division he's got some good wins Vulcan news me that when he absolutely demolished Gustafson a few years ago I know it's a wash Gustafson the Johnny Walker fight as well I think he does have potential I know he's lost to anive before but again that was a fairly close decision he didn't even get dominated in that fight and he has lost to yamaho which and obviously Paul Craig but then again if Paul Craig beats you in the L heavyweight division it probably means you good and he lost a Glover to Sher but he's well-rounded he's got dangerous striking as well he's a really good submission artist is Nita kov and I think he would be a threat to Pereira but obviously he needs to get that fight so I hope he gets a top five opponent yet I don't know what's next for him maybe an Alexander rakic I just don't know what's next for Klo but he needs a top five opponent and I would argue if Nikita Klo wins his next fight he could be getting a title shot because he's ranked number six he's coming off a couple of good wins you give him another finish in the top five it's hard to doubt Nik kive I just want to see this dude backman he's been gone for so long he's here to shake up the light heavyweight division but he's taking time off his career come back Nikita kov get a fight get a win um and hopefully we can see this dude progress in the division because I think he is quite a dark horse and he's probably the most underrated dude in this division because nobody is talking about Nikita krylo Alexander rakit he's a really good kickboxer is rakit but he's just not the most entertaining guy to watch it's hard to it's hard to say with rakit because I feel like he he has kind of been done dirty with a lot of his losses the yam hoit fight I think he could have beaten yam hoit and I think if he were to rematch them which he was scheduled to early this year I think he has a good chance of beating yam blo which especially considering BL blo which is like 42 the fight with yaska who was ly piecing up y prasa then got caught by a big shot and got finished and obviously lost to Vulcan new as well but he's got some good wins the Anthony Smith fight the Thiago Santos fight he's a really good kickboxer is Alexander rakit one of the best kickboxers in this division he's just again he it's hard to say with rage I feel like he gets done dir in a lot of his fights um he gets open to get caught a lot you know he got caught by y Braska I think of for rackit he just needs to avoid getting engaged in brawls do not engage in scraps do not brawl with people if this dude just keeps it technical he would have real potential to get a title shot but he doesn't he keeps messing it up because it keeps engaging in brawls um I really want to see how he does against kind of like one of the other guys in the top of the light heavyweight division because his best win is Anthony Smith and Santos but then again he's only lost to some of the best in the division I'd love to see this guy face like I said in the KE to krylo or just somebody else in that like heavyweight division like I don't know just someone else maybe like a a k Round Tree just so we can really see how good rackit is because he's a good kickboxer but he just gets open to get caught a lot and I really don't know what's next for this dude so hopefully he can bounce back because he is well I mean he's not a fun kickboxer but he's a good kickboxer and yeah I just don't really know what's next for this dude to be honest then we got yambla hit again I don't know what's really going on with yamaho he's had a couple of shaky past few fights man I do think he's on the the over end of his career people give him credit for that fight with Alex pra and to be honest he did give Alex PR the toughest test out of everyone in the light heavyweight Division and I think if you run it back between him and Pereira it would be equally as tough as the first fight and I think he has a good chance of beating him but he has had a bit of a shaky past few fights obviously the Alex Pera fight got beaten in that fight because he couldn't he couldn't get the grappling going after the first round got submitted by goov to Shera look and his other fights as well hasn't been the best I mean the wi of Alexander rakit rakit ined him injured himself in that fight and his other wins I mean Israel Adan that was ad moving up to the light heavyweight Division I guess it was a good win at the time Luke rockold was extremely chinny Reyes was extremely chinny it's hard to gauge with yamaho which he's well-rounded he's a really good wrestler and he's got good kickboxing this dude might have the best leg kicks him and Pereira might have the best leg kicks in the light heavyweight division because this dude destroyed um what's his name Magan kif with those leg kicks and to be honest I don't think he beat anive I think anive should have got that win but he's just someone that you want to root for in the L heavyweight division again I don't know what's next for this dude I think him versus Vulcan would be really fun and I can almost guarantee that wouldn't go the distance he's been calling for a fight with Pera he said he wants that rematch but again you've got to earn the rematch you need to get a good win you need to get a good win this dude's last good win was Adisa he needs to get a good impressive win so I think if you do yamaho versus vad May or yamaho maybe rematching with Alexander rakit or I don't know maybe I don't know what's next for yamaho maybe him versus khil rry I'm not sure what's next but he needs to get that one good win to prove to people that he can get that fight with Pereira because you don't deserve a fight with Pereira when most of your last five fights have not been going your way but again somebody what you want to root for he's well-rounded he's got good wrestling he's a powerful guy on the feet polish power I want to see yamel hoit back in action and he keeps tweeting saying that he's ready but again we need to see him sign the contract I think he's going to be coming back in December so hopefully that happens yam hoit good guy former Champion as well which is impressive then we have Jamal Hill the most salty dude in the light heavyweight division he's just really hard to root for Jamal Hill man he's so salty making excuses after all his finishes he's he's not really I'm going to be honest he's kind of I feel like his wins are overrated as well I guess beating glov toera was good across five rounds but again glov toera I know he was a former champion and he's really impressive in the division but he's 42 you beat Johnny walk who's the most chinny guy in the division and then your other three wins are against absolutely washed cans he got KO in the first B first round by Pereira which might have been one of the most humiliating losses in history the way that he was talking to Pereira the talking the talk and then the UFC 300 when everyone was watching just got flat land in the first round and he got his arm broken by Paul Craig as well I don't think he's ever going to become a champion again I think Y braas is probably crafty enough to beat him but again y's really beatable and I can see he'll he'll catch in him don't give me wrong he was a good boxer he's a good boxer I like how he presses people he's very powerful in the division as well I think he's one of those guys that if he lands a good shot he'll put you out of there He's got potential to Flatline a lot of these guys and I think he will stay in the top five again another former Champion when he beat Glover toer which is impressive but it's just really hard to root for this guy especially I remember that one time when a fan was saying that he's humble and then he started getting mad at the fan for calling him humble because he misread it and it's just it's hard to root for Jamal Hill especially with the amount of excuses he makes I think if he just took the loss on the chin people would respect him a lot more he's just somebody that you don't want to root for and he's someone that he kind of hopes he gets flat land in the future but he's still a dangerous guy and to be honest even though he might not be the most lack dude he gets people talking about him so I want to know what's next for Jamal Hill whether it be him versus ulberg or rry or whatever I just want to see him fight again some people have saided year maybe that's a good fight because you know you got two former Champions going on it but yeah he was a fun guy to watch then Magadan KV he should be fighting Alex Pro next and I think in the light heavyweight division anive is the toughest head for Alex Pereira for multiple reasons the first reason is he's a really good Striker as anive I would say he's more of a striker than a Grappler and I know striking against Alex Pera is probably not the best chance your best chance have in Pera is to engage in the grappling but he's got the good striking which is going to keep Pera guessing the whether he K or Johnny Walker he's very very powerful on the feet he's got really good boxing he's accurate as well and he's really technical he's much more technical than a guy like y Braska so he's a good Striker and he's probably the best wrestler right now in the light heavyweight division as he showed against yamaho and as he's shown before he's got really good wrestling which is pereira's crypto night so I think if he mixes the wrestling up with a striking against Alex preira it's going to be hard to not favor anive in that fight so I hope he does get his title shot with perea but he needs to stop calling on his terms it seems like every time he calls out Alex Pera he wants it to be on his terms which I don't know why and I think he should be a former Champion I really do think he should have beaten yam hoit man I think in that fight with yamit it was very close he was getting his leg pieced up on the feet but I would have favored anive to win that fight I I think he you know if the judge of scorecard would have went one way he should have gone an's way so I think he should have been a champion but yeah I hope we get to see that fight with pra is one of the most intriguing fights in the light heavyweight division and anive is probably the most well-rounded and dangerous dude for Pereira that's going to be interesting to see so I hope we see that fight next and he's just an exciting guy to watch then y prasa this dude is never in a boring fight he's probably yeah he's definitely one of the most exciting fighters in the UFC when is this dude in a boring fight that fight he had with glov thear I've said this before if there was a fight I had to show to someone to get them into MMA it would be y Brasa versus glov theera because it had the perfect mix of entertaining striking entertaining grappling between two entertaining guys and ended in a finish after a war it's the perfect fight that fight with rakit where he came back and koed Alexander rakic the Vulcan used to make KO the Dominic Ray is one of the best koos in UFC history Yuri prasa is The Human Highlight Reel when I say Human Highlight re it's not always him on the you know the good end of The highight Reel whether it be him getting koed like he did with Pereira that was a really fun rivalry he's just a really fun personality this whole Samurai lifestyle that he lives it's really entertaining to watch his fighting style is so enter Ain in I think he does need to change his style a little bit if he wants to become a champion because he is very very hitable he's got this really wide stance which leaves him open to leg kicks and he doesn't really have the best defense but he's dangerous he's a killer he's well-rounded and he's just so fun to watch he's one of those guys that no matter who he's facing he's never going to be in a boring fight so I hope he does get back up there I hope he does get some more wins some more finishes because he is one of the most entertaining dudes and I swear he's finished like I don't know the I don't know the exact amount of wins he's got in his MMA career I think he's like 30 around 30 and he's finished most of his wins I think only one of his Fighters have gone to a decision so EUR Braska one of the most entertaining dudes in the UFC one of the most perfect dudes to show to a new UFC fan if you want to get them into the UFC and then finally Alex Pereira the face of the UFC he is the face of the UFC he is probably the best dude in the UFC right now pound-for-pound top three he is the face of the UFC I mean he's massive route I mean he's come look at the amount of former Champions he's already beaten this dude is just speedrun the UF C joined in 2021 and has already achieved more than 99.9% of fighters ever will in their career he's beaten so many former Champions before he beat sha Strickland he's beating Adisa and I know we got koed by but the way that he came back from that as well after winning the middleweight at belt and then losing it by beating yamaho a former Champion beating yasa for the belt a former Champion KO and Jamal Hill at UFC 300 a former Champion then beating Yi again and if this dude can beat Mar and kive as well and then move up to heavyweight this dude is just speedr running the UFC and I hope we do see him at the heavyweight division obviously I want to see Aspen Now versus John's first that should be the fight we see but if you know if we do aspel versus Jones or we do perea versus aspel I'm really intrigued to see how Pereira would do in the in the heavyweight division because you just can't write this dude off he's you know his Brazilian Warrior kind of spirit the way that he walks out he's he's I know it's a really cringey word but he's Aura as well he's just someone that you can't really root against nice guy as well he's a he's a he's a good role model for people extremely dangerous that left hook might be the most dangerous weapon in the entirety of MMA he's just someone that you can't not be a fan of even if you're the biggest Adisa fan I just don't get how you can't be a fan of Alex Pereira definitely the pound-for-pound top three in the UFC someone that you can't miss someone that you've just got to watch and this dude is definitely going to go down as one of the greatest fighters in MMA history definitely one of my favorite fighters in the UFC one of the fan favorites and for good reason so Alex Pera probably one of my favorite Champions right now next up we got the middleweight division Middleweight Chris Curtis at rank 15th Chris Curtis I mean personality wise I must say he's probably the saltiest fighter in the UFC if you don't know what I'm talking about on Twitter if anyone like criticizes Chris Curtis on Twitter he just gets so mad on Twitter he might be one of the most you know just one of the saltiest fighters in the UFC he gets so mad at people on Twitter he engages in Twitter Wars all the time so he's probably one of the most easily fight easily trollable fighters in the UFC he's so easy to troll but now it's a decent figh is Chris Curtis I think a couple of fights ago had like a 100% takedown defense record so he's got great T taked down defense I personally thought he should have won against Brandon Allen in the fact he had recently so I feel like he should be ranked higher than 15th but to be fair he did lose to Brandon Allen he's also lost to Jack common but again that was another close fight the Kelvin Gaston fight as well that was super close at UFC 287 so it's not like he's lost and he's been destroyed the fight is that he's lost to have been really close losses as well so you know it could have gone either way um which by the way he did to Twitter to complain about those losses no he's a really good boxer he's got really dangerous hands and he's a big threat to anyone I can definitely see Chris Curtis's handing out a few projects in his career because he's got really good takedown defense like I've been saying this for a while you give ball nickel Chris Curtis I can see Chris Curtis being the guy to shut down b nickel because of his takedown defense and the fact that he's got such good boxing so even though he's such a salty guy on Twitter um no he's a good fighter is Chris Curtis he's a guy that you can kind of guarantee that he's going to have a fairly interesting fight he's not really boring as well I mean like I said his last fight with Brendan allam was really good and I thought he should have won so I kind of feel like he has been done dirty decisionwise in a couple of his fights but he's overall pretty good um and I think he does deserve to be ranked then we got Michelle oh no not Michelle Pera Anthony Hernandez who's going to be taking on Michelle Pera and by the way I really like that match up I'll talk about that match will be the second when I talk about Pera but Anthony Hernandez probably the best grappling Prospect in the middleweight division right now I know we've got a lot of Grapplers in the middleweight division it's a division that is full of prospects but Anthony Hernandez he's displayed that he's really good at grappling he's able to take people down and he's just able to find these submissions so easily he's kind of like Kobe Covington if he had 10 times better Jiu-Jitsu he's can easily find submission he just had a a prospect versus a prospect fight with Roman kopilov beat Roman kopilov submitted him shut down the prospect of Roman kopilov um and he got a win over Mark Andre barriel and he's matched up against Michelle Perera if he can beat Michelle Pera that's a big win for Anthony Hernandez we might see him then from there get like a top five opponent he's just a really good Grappler with Anthony Hernandez I want to see how he does against somebody that's actually well-rounded so I think Michelle Bea is the perfect opponent and he has lost to Kevin Holland before but no I think he's going to be a really fun guy in the division he's a fun Grappler he's not just a boring Grappler and I hope he does well that f with Roman kopov was interesting and the fact that he was able to just completely shut down Roman mopy Love Fair Play to Anthony Hernandez one of the better prospects in the UFC and I'll can't wait for that fight with Michelle Pera and talking of Michelle Pera Michelle Pera has to be probably my favorite fighter in the middleweight division in terms of entertainment I just don't see how you can't be a fan of this guy I understand he had a lot of hate last year when he missed way against Wonderboy Thompson and I can understand we all wanted to see that fight we were robbed of a good matchup just because he missed weight but now that he settled into the middleweight division he's had so many bangers that fight with PTI are where he dropped him and found the submission the fact with M where he dropped him and found the submission the thing that makes Mel Barett exciting is not only this you know he's obviously he entertaining striking style where he's doing back flips and jumping off the fenes but he mixes everything in so well so he he's got really powerful striking he's such a dangerous Striker but he uses his striking to set up submissions when he drops you or you know just takes him onto the floor he then latch up a submission really good from there he's not just one of these guys that takes you to the ground goes for the generic double leg Tak down whenever he's in trouble or even drops you with a strike If he if he drops with a strike he'll go for a back flip or he'll just find a submission from there he's got such good good submission game he's Jiu-Jitsu is amazing I am picking him to beat Anthony Hernandez and I think he's a real problem for the rest of the middleweights he's really dangerous as Michelle Bea both on the feet and in grappling and I've said this I said this in a video before if you take away everyone in the top five I think Michelle Bea is the toughest fight for d dupac c in the division he's a stylistic nightmare for both PE for most people but at the same time he's just entertaining to watch and I feel like we got to forgive him for the the weight Miss against Wonderboy Thompson for the facts that they've provided against us so Michelle Pera might have to be one of my favorite middleweights right now and I can't wait to see him versus Hernandez because it's a prospect versus a prospect matchup which the UFC don't really tend to so I can't wait for that fight against Anthony Hernandez then we' got Kyo BR once again another Prospect I talk about the middleweight division being full of prospect we've got another one right here pretty sure he came from the contender series Kyo br's really good as well now I wouldn't say he's as well-rounded as Michelle Pera but he's a big big middleweight is Kaio bro and this dude's striking is so sharp he fights from the fighting nerds gym so you can understand why he's so effective finished abis Mago finished Mallen in his last fight fought his first ranked opponent in Paul Craig and he absolutely demolished Paul Craig he was Landing big shots on the feet and I know it's not really hard to out strike Paul Craig but he was able to defend the takedowns as well he was able to evade Danger from Paul Craig and put Paul Craig to sleep and I think again if he sharpens up his style if he becomes well-rounded this dude has potential to be a big middleweight fighter I know I've said that about like three different Fighters already in the middleweight division but he's just really dangerous I can't wait to see what he does next I don't think he has a fight bed I'd love to see him fight somebody like Paulo Costa or Roman delid because I really do think he can take these guys out I think he's the next generation of the middleweight Division and he's just a super fun personality super fun Striker to watch same for Michelle Pera and I just can't wait to see what he does next this middleweight division like I said he's already stacked full of prospects and these are the ranked prospects as well I haven't even G over the ones that are unranked but Kyo bro just a fun Striker and you just want to see him succeed in the UFC as well not you know no notable losses in the UFC either then we got hamat shamayev I mean talk about star power this guy once was one of the biggest prospects in the US UFC I feel like he's now transitioned to a contender he's got a bit of a tricky career just Jaya because he's one of the biggest stars in the UFC and at one point in time this guy had so much momentum when he was going into that fight with Gilbert Burns he was he Pro quite possibly was the biggest Prospect in the UFC and I feel like his past couple of fights in his past couple of years in his career have been really harmful to his career he fought Kevin Holland after he missed weight against Nate Diaz and he beat Kevin Holland easily but at the same time he missed weight and then he had to move up to the middleweight of division took a year off came back and fought um well he yeah came back and well he was supposed to fight Costa Costa pulled out he fought Osman on short notice and that was a draw at Best in my opinion I think most of my May fans looking at that fight probably would have scored it as a draw so we got a very lucky win against Kamar Osman and then a year after he gets a fight with Robert Whitaker pulls out and now he's kind of in that stage of his career where he's like what's next for shamay he's lost all of his momentum he's lost all of his hype he hasn't actually lost a fight yet and I still think he has potential to fight for a belt one day because he's grappling pace is so relentless he's one of the most Relentless Grapplers in the UFC but he's got a lot of problems his immune system he's tendency to stay in fights his weight the fact that he keeps pulling out of fights his stamina I think next we giv a middleweight that's not going to give him a number one Contender I think we give him somebody like Jared caner who's a great test for Hamza chamay because he got his number one Contender fight he pulled out he doesn't deserve that number one Contender fight just yet he's even been calling for a title shot make you rank number 11th and your best when he hman so I hope he does well in the UFC because it would be good to see like chamay have a super fight with like Israel at AA or something like that but he needs to build himself up and I hope he does sort his immune system out and we can finally start seeing chimaya get that momentum that he had at the beginning of his career so he's still dangerous I would say he's one of the best middleweights but he hasn't proved it yet and we just need to see him prove it then we've got Roma delid he's just a bit mid isn't it I mean he had a really good win recently obviously I haven't counted it in this division because it was a lot heavier but he had a really good win over over Anthony Smith I don't really know what to say about ROM delzy I feel like on his come up he was he was kind of labeled as this very dangerous guy he's went over Jack common a couple of of his wins he was a dangerous Grappler who also had power but in these past few fights at Midway he just hasn't looked good he had an extremely boring fight against Marvin Vitor in which he lost by decision then he goes and fights imov in a fight night main event which was quite chaotic he's never going to be a contender I feel like romad Del is kind of like a filler fighter if that makes sense he's dangerous he's going to deliver a lot of fraud chicks he's definitely not going to leave the rankings because he's a dangerous guy and he's got really good grappling but he's never going to make it far in the middleweight division he's never going to make the top five he's never going to fight for a belt never going to Wi to contendership he's just a bit mid not the most interesting fighter either so he's kind of like a filler he's like kind of like the Matas gamrot of the middleweight division except if gamrot just wasn't as good that's the best way I can see it so he's a bit mid but I I still think he's going to whip out WIS here and there against the most random Fighters then we got Jack common talk about mid now I'm now Jack Comm Manson yeah he's kind of just I feel like he the the new wave of the middleweights have caught up to him we talk about guys like Kyo bro and Michelle beera and hamat jayv these guys are kind of like the new wave of the middleweight division where Jack Hanson now would class him as kind of like the old wave before we had shamayev before we had Anthony Hernandez we had Jack Hanson he was hyped up as the big Grappler of the middleweight Division and he's got some good wins the Gastelum win the win of a Joe pyer he fraud checked Joe pther recently and he actually looked really good in that fight fight um his stand-ups really good but again similar to Del he's never going to enter contendership he got beaten up by Shan shrand he lost to Vitor he got finished by delit as well he's lost to Canan he's never going to be a legit Contender I don't think because he's just not good enough but he's a good Striker he's a bit of an awkward Grappler as well he doesn't just shoot for your generic takedown for some reason he loves striking as well he's got this thing where he likes striking even though the best game plan would be to go for the takedown he's a good Grappler he's nothing special in the middleweight Division I think he's very similar to a day where he's kind of like the old wave of the middleweight division he was one of the best middleweights back in the day when Adisa and guys like vtori were fighting for the belt but now he's kind of not that he's fallen off but the middleweight division has just become a little bit too good for Hermanson so it is what it is then we've got Paulo Costa I'm going to be honest he's overrated I know that's not what you want to hear you want to hear me praise Pao Costa talk about how he's funny don't get me wrong he's probably got the best Twitter account in the UFC that the amount of people he's angered on Twitter I'd love to see this dude go at Chris Curtis on Twitter but this dude is heavily overrated in my opinion is he dangerous yes but he is lost to every single top opponent that he's had he got destroyed Byna then he missed weight by like what was it like 20 pounds against Marvin vtor couldn't even win that fight then he fought Robert whiter at UFC 28 and even though he landed a good kick he lost that fight by decision and then he got walked forward in a boring fight and lost to Shan strigin and his only wins old people like he lost to Luke ruckle no longer in the UFC Uriah Hall no longer in the UFC Hendricks Romero no no no longer in the UFC I feel like costra if he wants to prove himself in the middleweight division he needs to fight someone that's an up and comer like a you know a Kyo bro or a Michelle Pera or an Anthony Hernandez maybe the winner of that fight can fight Costa because I don't want to see this dude fight at the top anymore he's just not Champion material he had a good come up and he's an entertaining guy but I feel like he people keep categorizing Paulo Costa with the best of middleweights in the world and I don't understand why because he isn't he's lost to every good middleweight that he's gone against so I I think he's a good fighter I think he's dangerous but he needs an impressive win because he hasn't really got any impressive wins in the UFC and he's lost at every legit Point that he's got but I will say he's definitely got some personality and he's probably got the best Twitter account in the UFC Brendan Allen another grappling Prospect we've got so many grappling prospects in the UFC I actually can see Brendan Allen kind of being a big threat I know he's matched up against imov which is going to be such a good fight that's kind of like an uncrowned Contender fight he's got some good wins the fight with Kevin Holland absolutely demolished Paul Craig that Paul Craig fight really impressed me against Brendan Allen because Paul Craig is known for having his great Jiu-Jitsu and Brendan Allen just completely shut it down and ragdoll him and Lil Bro him as well he's also probably the best got the best Ray naker choke in the UFC I don't know the exact number but he's won a [ __ ] ton of FS about Ray naker choke it's kind of like a signature move and his recent fight with Chris Curtis which I don't think he won but it was a very good fight as well and he beat another Grappler in Andre mun so he's definitely one of the more Superior Grapplers and he doesn't like the fact that if he's going to be facing a Grappler he doesn't take that into account he doesn't really he doesn't get scared away when he's facing a dangerous Grappler he just does his thing and it works now he has been destroyed by Shan Shand before and he has been koed by Chris Curtis I need to see how he does against a top Contender I need to see how he does against somebody like imol but as of right now he's a really good Grappler one of the better Grapplers in the UFC he's kind of like a new and improved version of Jack common so he's a good guys Brendan Allen really good racho I want to see him versus IM evolve then we got Marvin vtor if there was a fighter that I could perfectly describ as good but not great it would be Marvin Vitor he's just good he's not great he's nothing special but he's not bad either he's not got any crazy wrestling but he's got good wrestling he's not got any crazy striking but he's got good wrestling he's beaten some decent people he beat Paulo Costa romad Del Jack Manon and Kevin Holland so he's already got some really good wins well yeah good wins in the middleweight division he's lost to adisan twice he's lost to Robert whiter he's lost to caner so he's definitely not one of the elite um so he's kind of just like I want to call him a mid fighter but mid nowadays has a really bad reputation so I'm not going to say he's mid he's just a bit he's just good I can see him beating a couple of these up and comers I can see him losing to a couple of these up and comers he's never going to fight for a belt again I don't really know what to say about Marvin vtor although I do want to see him back he's been out for so long I swear his last fight was like June or July of 2023 I want to see this dude come back I don't know when he's supposed to be coming back he's kind of just taking a year off I think he's realized that he's no longer a legit Contender for the middleweight belt and I feel like if he is going to fight it's only going to be for kind of kind of you know for the paycheck but I want to see Marvin vtor back he's got some good boxing he's fairly well-rounded he's just a good midweight and I think he perfectly represents the middleweight division good not great not exciting not special but he's good I think Marvin VOR is the perfect representation for the middleweight division Jared caner it's really hard to say with Jared caner because he's beaten Shan Strickland and that wasn't even like ages ago he beat Strickland a couple a couple of years ago I know he was a close fight um beat Anderson Silva but he was on his losion streak absolutely destroyed Marvin vtor absolutely destroyed Derek Brunson beat Jack Comm Manon Jared can is a really good Striker really really good Striker he has recently lost to imov but it was a really early stoppage as well he had a boring f with arisna he lost to Whitaker I think Canon is similar to like the imov and the vori he's going to be a top Midway I think he's going to be a top Contender and I do feel like he kind of got done dirty in that imol fight but I don't see him beating Whitaker again I don't think he'd beat drus even though that could be a close fight um I don't think he'd ever beat Adisa I think Strickland would probably beat him in the rematch even though that's a really close fight so he kind of tough to say with kanir I think he's always going to be a contender in the top five he's got this really powerful high output boxing basic he's just really fun to watch as well and he absolutely is a killer he lives up to his name that's all I've really got to say about can he's a fun Contender he's not boring he's got really effective striking but he's never going to fight for reel again in my opinion and then we got imol it's weird because he's ranked number four but I still think there's so many questions to be answered when it comes to imov he is matched up against Brendan Allen which I think is going to be a really good fight between two legit contenders he beat can but it was a an early stoppage and apart from that his best wins are Bley and delid and he has lost to sha Strickland a couple of years ago so the fact that he's ranked number fourth just tells you everything you need to know about the middleweight division but no imov is good he's well-rounded he's got good wrestling and his strike and he's improved so much he's got like this unique striking style that seems to work really well so he's a really good Striker he's of again I don't think he's ever going to become a champion unless he shows me something crazy against Brendan Allen I think Strickland ad AA drus these guys all beat him s for Whitaker but I think he's just I need to see more from him Evol I need to see him fight another top top opponent even if it was just somebody like Costa or just anyone like a Victoria I just want to see how imov would do against these guys because I still think there's so many questions that need to be answered but from what we've seen so far he impressed me in that kind of a fight and he looks pretty good so we'll have to see what he does against Allen Robert Whitaker Robert Whitaker is definitely one of the greatest middleweights of all time I mean look at this dude's resume he has got such a stacked resume and I feel like yeah he was always one of the best middleweights in the world like when adisan was the champion he was the number one guy and I feel like these days he still is kind of one of the best guys in the division he only losses is to Israel L twice who's one of the greatest middleweights of all time Andre Cup who's the current middleweight champion of the world so it's not like he's lost when he bums and he's beaten so many people Canon cost of VOR gast Dar until that recent fight with kriskov where he completely fro checked kriskov and you know what I think he'd do the same to to hamat Chimay as well Derek Brunson where he destroyed Brunson he's just so good he's got really good takedown defense and he's got the bet some of the best striker in the middleweight division he's so fluid with his striking that one-w head kick always seems to work his fight ACU is amazing and I still feel like Whitaker has a chance of becoming a champion again listen if drus dup C or if if yeah if Dr dup AA fight and Shan Strickland's next in line Whitaker is definitely only like a fight away from a title shot he could even say that he's the backup for the next title shot I think he has good potential to be a champion arguably beat Aris in that second fight as well one of the greatest middleweights of all time and how can you not like Whitaker as well he's one of the best Personalities in the UFC he's just a nice guy see for a lot of the Aussie fighters in the UFC you just can't hit Whitaker and um there was nothing better than watching wh go out there and completely fraud check aalis nothing nothing against risr but it's just good to see whiter back in the winning column and I think him versus drias in the rematch it could be competitive based on what we saw Whitaker seems like he's completely changed his game plan this time around looked great against rram drus looked [ __ ] against Strickland so I think that fight could be competitive so I hope he does get his title shot again and he's just the top guy you just can't hit Robert witzer then we got Israel ARA probably one of the more hated fighters in the middleweight division but he is the second greatest middleweight of all time and people love to [ __ ] on ad's resume they like to say that he's got a really bad resume in the UFC but the same people saying this can't find anyone else in the middleweight division who has a better resume than him apart from Anderson Silva he is the second greatest middleweight of all time listen his fights might have not been the most entertaining he might have not been against the top opposition at the time well he in fact he was against the top opposition at the time it just might have not been you know the greatest fighters in the UFC but he did have a good Title reign beating Whitaker twice or his best wins knocked out Alex PR that was definitely his career highlight Koo and Alex Pereira for the first time beat yo Romero but we don't need to talk about that fight had the fight with Jared can beat vtori fight twice absolutely destroyed Pao Costa had a passing of the torch moment against Anderson Silva had a war with Kelvin gastam he's had a lot of I wouldn't say he's had a lot of good fights but he's had a a decent resume a decent career in the middleweight division is had s he's definitely submitted himself as one of the greatest in this Division and he's one of the best strikers in the UFC or at least he was in his prime he wasn't the most risky Striker he he wasn't really a guy who would take one to to you know to land one but he's just a really technical stri he's great at calculating people his takedown defense has always been some of the best in the middleweight Division and I think he will beat draus dup and become a champion again um so he's definitely one of the greatest middleweights of all time personality wise I can see why people don't like him he's a bit of a weird person and he is quite arrogant at times he seems to just prey on the prey on the hatred of Alex perea he wants to you know he's praying on perea's downfall um and he did get absolutely destroyed by Shan Strickland I don't think he's got two month long left in the middleweight division because the middleweight division iion is changing there's so many new uh faces in the middleweight Division and I think Strickland probably would beat him again but he's one of the greatest middleweights of all time he's one of the best strikers of all time you just can't you know discredit Arisa for what he's done in the middleweight Division and then number one Shan Strickland probably should be the middleweight champion right now um yeah this dude's personality is definitely one of the the funniest in the UFC I don't agree with everything this dude says I think he is quite hypocritical at times but he's definitely entertaining that's you know that's for sure he's probably my favorite fighter when it comes to press conferences he's one of those Fighters that you can almost guarantee is going to be a good press conference when sh trickl was there he's you know that press conference where he had like all Mali and draas and all those guys in that press conference his first conference at UFC 276 the one where he was facing Adisa he's the king of press conferences does he have the most entertaining fighting style he doesn't he fight his fight with Arisa was I mean it was a fairly entertaining fight and he had one of the biggest upsets in UFC history where be adisan that was an I'm him moment his fight with Costa was quite boring his fight with him of was whatever um but yeah he's definitely one of the best middleweights I feel like he's kind of underappreciated people know that Strickland's good but they assume that that win over Adisa was a fluke look at the people he's beating finished abas magov beat Jack Kamon Brenan Allen imov Costa Adisa he's already put together a really good resume in the middleweight Division and that loss to dcus Du C was a very questionable loss A lot of people thought he should have won that fight same for the caner loss that was a very questionable loss as well it's awkward with Shan Strickland because everyone knows what he's going to do he's is going to walk forward with his oddd style and just try and land shots but nobody can seem to stop it and he seems pretty Unstoppable when it comes to striking in the middleweight division the only guy that's really been able to figure him out has been Alex Pereira so far who's one of the powerful bound best I do hope he becomes a champion again or at least he fights for a Bel he's definitely one of the best middleweights in the world and he just has a style that no one can really seem to figure out so definitely one of the best middleweights in the world and then finally draus dup C it's a bit hard to to say with d duple C but people have to give him credit I remember there was a time before the whiter fight when drus D was seen as one of the worst ranked opponents people were saying that he's one of the worst guys in the rankings including myself and then he gets one of the biggest upsets in UFC history ruined everyone's paray when he finished Robert Whitaker and then he goes out there okay maybe you might say you know he should have lost that fight but he went out there put did his thing got the belt and became a middleweight champion if there's one thing that you can say about drus duple C it's that he works hard and he has a lot of heart he has a lot of heart does drus dup see he might not be the best fighter in terms of technique his stamina might be terrible but he just pushes through and you look at guys like Darren till who the second something insignificant happens in the fight they give up drus is the opposite this guy will just keep walking forward and he'll do everything it takes to win and that's why he's managed to become a middleweight champion I still think arisna is going to beat him but this listen you got to credit the hard work of dras dup C you can see how how much he's improved throughout his career his stamina has got better his standup has got better um and he's definitely I think he's deserving of that middleweight belt even if you think he you know it was a controversial fight with Strickland he's one of the best middle well he's the best middleweight right now technically on paper so you can't discredit D dupy he's already had some really good wins and you can't discredit his work ethics as Ric dup C then we got the welterweight division Kevin Holland number 15th he is the UN Welterweight CR BMF Kevin Holland is the UN CR BMF of the welterweight division what this dude has done I mean I don't remember the last time Kevin Holland fought and he wasn't on short notice fought ham at on literally one day's notice when he didn't have to an shim was at the scariest F Jack The Mad Len one of the best prospects in the worldwe division like a week notice for Steven Thompson welcomed MVP into the UFC he is the UNC BMF I swear his f with maal at middleweight was on short notice as well and this is only his welterweight career this isn't even including everything he's done in the middleweight division because this guy smokes people at middleweight um I've included the Bley fight because even though that wasn't middleweight Bley is now down at welterweight and he ko'ed Bley which is a win that his a really well phas first KO to Santiago ponono submitted Michael Kessa he's just the uncrowned BMF of the UFC great Striker Dangerous Power and I feel like I don't mind the idea of Holland coming every now and then to fight on short notice like we need a replacement for a ranked fighter in the welterweight or the middleweight division fill Kevin Holland in you know get let him fight on short notice do I ever think he's going to clam the rankings I don't but you just can't hate Kevin Holland he's the definition of a BMF he's the definition of whenever whoever whatever he's a fun personality in the welterweight division you just can't hate the guy I don't know what's next for him I don't exactly know what division he's going to be staying in considering he is ranked in the welterweight Division I assume he is going to be staying at welterweight and I just want he's just one of those guys you can't miss he's a fun fighter submitted Mel in the first round as well the dude he just does whatever man he's kind of like it's Kevin Holland's world and we're all living in it fighting on short notice so definitely one of my favorite welterweights glad he's actually managed to become ranked um and yeah he is the young Crown BMF of the UFC he does whatever against whoever on short notice he doesn't have to F round with negotiations he just fights whenever and you just can't hit Kevin Holland then we've got MVP one of the best strikers in the UFC definitely not do I think MVP is ever going to become a champion or fight for a bell I don't and I didn't think he was going to even before he's lost to Ian gar um but he's definitely not a can crusher I remember when he was in Bellator he was he had the reputation of a can crusher there's a reason you don't want to join the UFC and his FS with Holland and even the loss to Ian gar proved that I mean he outstruck Kevin Holland for three rounds straight and even against Ian Gary we all know MVP can't grapple right the second you give him a Grappler he's getting folded um but even against Ian Gary he was Landing Big Shots against Ian Gary who was known for his striking originally so Kevin H so MVP definitely isn't a canc Crusher definitely one of the best welterweights in the world um and I think we should just keep him for fun fights give him guys like Jeff Neil Steven Wonderboy Thompson basically anyone in the welterweight division who's a fun Striker and doesn't have a big threat of the takedown because I feel like we need to keep MVP away from Grapplers that's his worst nightmare don't be giving him any Shawn Brady or balam mhamd or sha cats but that that's who he's going to lose against but I wouldn't even mind seeing him against somebody like Jack Del mad Lena I know JDM has good grappling but he's just a really fun guy even in Bellator he had a great career as well so I'm glad that he's got an addition to the UFC I don't expect him to be in the UFC for ages I think he's in his late 30s now I don't know his exact age I think he's like 35 or older so hopefully he can have a few more fights he's here for a short time not a long time I don't think that's how it goes I think it's here for a fun time not a long time something like that but he's a fun guy to watch really unique Striker can't wait to see what he does next never going to become a champion because I mean it's two stacked of a division and he has just lost to Ian Gary but he's a great addition to the UFC and I'm glad he ended off his career by joining the UFC I remember if this guy never joined the UFC he would have been one of the biggest wats and even though he's not joining the UFC in his prime again one of these guys you can't hit so MVP unique Striker fun guy to watch I just want to watch him fight again man I want to watch him every pay-per-view but next F we got Vicente luk he's kind of falling off a bit and I know I don't like using the word Aura but I his Aura is kind of gone I know that's a bit of a cringey word but he doesn't have that thing anymore I don't know if it's this killer in inct or maybe he's just not as good but when you get him matched up against Nick Diaz in 2024 you know something's up he's just had a couple of tricky past few fights obviously lost to Balan muhamed got finished by Bley and his last win was Rafael desanchez who doesn't even know what division he wants to stay in but it's hard to admit that it's hard to admit that luk hasn't has done no it's hard to admit that he's done a lot of bad things in the Welter what am iing about it's hard to admit that vente luk hasn't accomplished a lot of good things in the wel division beating Tyron Woodley I know Woodley was kind of washed at the time he has got a win over Balan Muhammad the fight where he absolutely destroyed Mark Perry he beat Michael Kessa he beat jelen Turner Randy Brown he's got a lot of good wins um and he's got a lot of experience against the top guys Leon Edwards balam Maham Jeff Neil um but he kind of got batted by Jeff Neil though I just don't know what's next for luk I don't know if he's had a bit of a period of time where he's kind of fallen off a bit I don't know if he's washed I don't know if he's out of his prime or anything because he hasn't looked as good nearly as good in his last few fights as he did back 2020 and 2021 hopefully he can bounce back because I remember when this guy was on his come up people were hyping this guy up as like the killer of the welterweight division the dangerous silent killer and he still is super dangerous he's a great Striker his takedown defense is good I just think the welterweight division has caught up for him I do fully expect him to go out there and absolutely demolish Nick Diaz but at the end of the day I don't think anyone in the roster can't demolish Nick Diaz so he's a fun guy he's a very very dangerous guy he's kind of just fallen off in these past few years then we got Neil magne the greatest gatekeeper in UFC history he's one of those fighters in the UFC that you just can't bet on because it's like this dude is so inconsistent he gets finished by shaat finished by well he didn't get finished but he got batted by Ian Gary um and he keeps losing fats F consistently loses to guys like Damen Meers Santiago ponan nibbi or Michael Kessa and then you you know he's beating former Champions like Robbie Lola he beat Jeff Neil who's one of the best boxes in the division beat Kelvin gastam and D Rod shook down the prospect of Mike Maller not too long ago as well he's just so inconsistent he deserves his spot in the rankings because of the people he's beaten he's just so Random I feel like whenever a neom magy fights on you always want to pick against him especially when he's facing a prospect but he just finds a way every now and then it's kind of like some fats he'll lock in and then some fats he won anyone who's got an ounce of talent and will beat Neil mag but anyone who's not top five worthy will lose to Neil mag it's kind of weird he's just so inconsistent I don't really know what to say about him seems like a chill dude I kind of don't like what Ian Gary did to him we'll get onto Ian Gary later on in this video but he's a guy he'll pick up wins every now and then fraud checked Mike Mallet that's probably the peak of his career the best gatekeeper in the UFC if there was a pound-for-pound list for The Gatekeepers he'd be number one so Neil magne greatest gatekeeper in the UFC then we got Bley I want to be a fan of Bley but ever since he he took to Twitter after he W over ruzi boev it's hard to like this guy he's been calling everyone out he had one of the worst call outs in UFC history when he called out Conor McGregor he's still yet to call out any welterweight um and he's just you know the way he's trashing people on Twitter he's just not that likable and I wanted to like him he had the he had everything in his hands to become a star after he beat ruv in the co-main event of s St Louis if he would have called out another welterweight he would have got a big fight and you know the fans would have been on his side as well he's completely flushed his fans down the drain but he's definitely moving to Elta it seems like the right idea I mean went out there and finished vente Luke which is a good win shut down rusey BV which is a really good win obviously got KO by Kevin Holland but to be fair that was in the middleweight division um he's just a really good good guy as well he's dangerous on the feet he's got one of the greatest Kos in UFC history he's also a really good wrestler as we saw against ruzi BV um he's just a well-rounded guy powerful guy dangerous guy I don't think he beats any of the elite guys in the division I don't think he beats a leon a shavkat and Ian Gary any of those guys but I think he could climb the rankings you know him versus Burns him versus Shawn Brady there's a lot of fun facts for him man the dude just needs to stay on Twitter or get a new PR manager because it's kind of like his flushing his fan base down the draam but I'm excited to see what he does next ESP esecially after the Way's been performing recently then we got Jeff Neil one of the best boxers in the UFC again I feel like everyone in the welterweight division so far has been pretty chill there's nothing you can really say badly about Jeff Neil um I wish his output was a little bit higher because you look at his performance against viente luk absolutely demolished him great display of boxing and same thing for ponono and Mike Perry um knocked out balam muhamad back in the day as well but again he's proven that he's not able to fight the elite guys in the division lost to shafat there's no shame in that lost to Ian Gary no shame in that and that was a very close fight as well the Steven Thompson Thompson's one of the best drags in UFC history Neil Maggy bit of a dodgy loss but mag is a gatekeeper and he's inconsistent so I think he's always going to be around the well to wa Division I can definitely see him handing out a few fraud checks he's just not aite he's not good enough well-rounded wise he's a really good boxer he's got really good defense and as a striker he's just really dangerous and he's got at piecing people up but I think he needs a little bit more to his Arsenal if he wants to If he if he needs these title aspirations I don't think R has aspirations are become a champion but he's just a solid boxer solid Striker nothing bad you can really say about Jeff Neil apart from that then we got Steven Thompson definitely one of the best and unique Strikers I mean first of all he's probably the nicest fighter in UFC history I don't think Stephen Thompson has ever said a bad thing about anyone so if there was a belt for the nicest guy in the UFC he'd definitely be the champion um and he's just a really slick Striker probably got one of the best karate bases in the UFC he showed that against luk he showed that against mazal he showed that when he absolutely destroyed Kevin Holland a few years ago beat Jeff Neil as well he's got a lot of good wins beat whiter back when Whit was at wel towe as well he's just a really good kickboxer but his grappling is what lets him down similar to MVP he's just a really good Striker who grappling lets him down his takedown defense isn't that good got submitted by shafkat got 5045 by Balan muhamad lost to Gilbert Burns because of the grappling Woodley was able to beat him as well after their first draw lost to Darren till but that was a very close fight you could have given that to anyone and it was home crowd Advantage for Darren till got KO by anony Pettis but the point is if if Steven Thompson had take down defense he wouldn't surprise me if he was to win a belt one day because he's such a good Striker it's very very rare that we ever see Steven Thompson get out struck on the feet I can't see anyone out striking him on the feet Pettis was able to land a shot tilled well but apart from that I don't really see anyone any pure Striker beating Steven Thompson in the UFC he's getting old he probably doesn't have that many fights left but definitely one of the greatest Strikers in UFC history and again one of these guys that you just can't hit then we got Sha Brady kind of underrated most people remember Shawn Brady for getting finished by balam muhamed a couple of years ago and even though that has kind of aged badly not because balah muhammed's been doing badly I mean he's one of the best Welter wits in the world but because losing to balah Muhammad on the feet doesn't necessarily look as good on paper but balam mahamad his only loss he's a really good grappling Prospect he beat Jake Matthews beat Mar Kester in his last fight got an impressive win over Kelvin gasl in which I actually picked gastam to win that fight and he's now got a main event against Gilbert Burns and if he can beat Gilbert Burns everyone's going to forget about that loss to balam mahamed because he's going to be right back in the title piture and he does have chance if he can beat Gilbert Burns which I don't think is I'm not going to say it's an easy thing to do but I don't think it's an extremely difficult thing to do considering Burns's current state of his career he could be in title talks very soon he's just a really good submission artist really good Grappler his boxing's decent as well again I don't see him beating the elite guys but L mamed beat him I think anyone who's fairly well-rounded like a like an Ian gar or a leon Edwards or a shaat could probably beat Shawn Brady but I think he definitely has the potential to make the top five and he's a really good grappling Prospect so yeah really good Grappler is Shawn Brady I think he'll probably make the top five one day Ian Gary we talked about Wonder being one of the nicest guys in the UFC now we've got the polar officite the most hated guy in UF in the UFC right now I mean he's definitely the most hated he's just not very likable again one of those Fighters I remember when he he first joined the UFC and people were calling Ian Gary the nice Conor McGregor people were calling this guy the nice version of Conor McGregor and how that has aged so poorly now he's not not bad he's a decent Striker I think his striking kind of got exposed a little bit when he fought MVP because I always thought he was this Elite Striker especially after ra or Daniel Rodriguez but when you can't finish Neil magne when you had a very close pit P pit P fight with Jeff Neil and then when you get out struck by MVP his striking isn't that good but he is becoming well-rounded he's doing a lot of work at shoo a box his grappling is improving he's undefeated do I ever think he's going to become a champion no I I as of right now from what I've seen I don't think he beats Leon Edwards but we need to see him face a real legit Contender we need to see Ian Gary against somebody like Kobe we need to see Ian Gary against the JDM a shafat I need to see how he performs against an elite opponent because so far he's beaten the good people in the wel welterweight division he hasn't beaten anyone great as of yet and it's not like he's going out there and destroying these good Fighters he's going to a decision he's having fairly close fights the MVP fight I mean he won that because of his grappling but he got out struck on the feet the Jeff Neil fight basically nothing happened the Neo magn fight was is dominant but it's neom magnet at the end of the day so I think he's going to break the top five he's definitely one of the best welterweights in the world but as of right now from what I've seen I don't see him becoming a champion so yeah definitely unlikable he's a decent fighter though but we do need to see a couple improvements I think he needs to stop being so gshytt Burns again one of the nicest dudes in the in the UFC man a guy that you can't really root against he's fought pretty much all the top guys in the division he fought Woodley he fought Osman he fought balal JDM he's just a really solid guy in the division he's fought for the belt obviously against Osman actually you know landed with some great shots against kamman then end up getting finished but that was Prime Osman I think the Usman that fought Burns was Prime Usman to be honest and he's got some really good wins Tyron Woodley Steven Thompson got that win at jge mazal at UFC 287 um I don't think he's going to beat any of these Elite guyss I do think he's on his way out he fought the open coming JDM got koed by JDM but to be honest he was kind of winning that fight was Gilbert Burns forams at chamay G chamay his toughest test in UFC history at the at least for balam muhamed that was a really low that was a really boring fight and plus gilber Burns was injured and then obviously lost to Prime mman so he hasn't really had any bad losses he's lost to the elite guys in the UFC um I just want to see him I just want to see him fight man he's one of those Fighters that comes to scrap every single time he's never in a boring fight he's always always there to scrap he's got really good jiujitsu I probably say he's the best pure submission artist in the UFC and I actually think he'd be a big threat to Leon Edwards so for the welterweight division I'm going to say that Gilbert Burns is probably the probably the toughest test well not the toughest test but definitely just one of the the guys that come to scrap every single time and you just can't HTE him then we've got JDM I actually think Jack Del madelena is the future of the UFC I think out of everybody in the UFC welterweight Division I think JDM will become a champion one day I actually think out of everyone in the welterweight division he poses the biggest threat to Leon Edwards he is the best boxer in the division he's got the best combinations he's got the most dangerous strike in and he's got Judo and he's got jiujitsu and he's got submission defense he's so well-rounded as Jack de la Melena he's undefeated in the UFC as well that knockout over Gilbert Burns completely out struck Kevin Holland which is impressive knocked out Randy Brown who's one of the best unranked middleweight welterweights right now I think he's the future of the UFC everyone's riding on the on the hype of shavkat and don't get me wrong shavkat is dangerous too we'll talk about him in a second but JDM I think he pauses the biggest threat to Leon Edwards out of everybody in the UFC right now and I truly believe will be a future Champion we haven't seen him face I mean we've seen him face Gilbert Burns but I'd love to see him face a shafa or an Ian Gary or one of the overall Elite guys in the division but JDM is so good man I think he's going to fight for Bel one day I honestly think he's going to become a champion he's dangerous he's a great Striker he's duud submissions are amazing this guy is the dark C of the division because everyone's eyes are on shafat none of the people are looking at JDM he's just that good man and a guy that you can't hate so I think he's a future Champion to be honest then we got Kobe Covington again one of the most hated dudes in the division I don't think he deserves that ranking at number four he's win over Tyron Woodley I mean it was a good win at the time but again Woodley was washed and it was an injury win the F with jge mazal I mean well done you beat mazal who hasn't won since 2019 in and out of MMA he beat old Robbie Lola old Dam Maya he hasn't really got any good wins I'm going to be honest everyone he's fought and beaten have been washed but that being said the only people that he has lost to are the best in the division he lost to wman twice well he notable losses I mean he lost to Usman twice and that was when Usman was in his prime he lost to Leon Edwards who's currently the defend the yeah the defending Welter wi champion of the world I just wish he'd be a little bit more open to fighting other people I feel like he's kind of taken the pcks and he doesn't really have title aspirations anymore he want he wants the easy way for the belt didn't want to fight Ian Gary which I I don't really like doesn't really want to fight anyone unless it gives him an immediate title shot or he's getting a title shot got one of the most undeserving title shots as well against Leon Edwards beating mazal and being on a one fight winning streak doesn't get you a title shot in my opinion he's not really a likable guy his performance against Leon was were terrible I don't really know what's in the future for this guy because he does duck a lot of people but I guess you know at least he's brought some personality to the welterweight division a lot of these Welter wits they're nice but they don't really have personality at least Corby Covington has brought some great press conference moments that press conference with Maz Vidal the ones with Usman I will say his press conferences are entertaining so he's an entertaining guy not really likable not going to be a champion but yeah it is what it is then we got shavat probably the most hyped up wel to it right now and for good reason he's finished every single fatter that he's ever F that is an insane statistic the fact that he's not only undefeated but he's finished everyone he's ever gone against he's so impressive his shafa I mean the way that he's able to latch up subm missions from everywhere his grappling offense and even his striking okay he might have some flaws in his striking like his head movement and his boxing but he's just a really good slick Striker I mean he's got some crafty striking as well but he does like to go for the grappling grappling base very very grappling heavy against Steven Thompson found the submission Jeff Neil I will admit Jeff Neil definitely landed some big shots but again was able to find the finish and it's not about how you start it's about how you finish sh against Neo magne I think Leon Edwards is a tough fight for him I think JDM is a tough fight for him but in my opinion after balal versus Lyon he is going to be the fighter for the bat next at least I think that anyway I think he deserves his title shot everything he's done he's never lost he's finished everybody and even though I guess he hasn't beaten one of the elite G in the division he is definitely one of the more Elite G in the division and I just want to see this dude face a leon or a JDM or somebody else higher ranked in the welterweight division because he's that good so shaat probably one of the most hyped people in the division right now and for good reason and I think everyone just kind of wants the balal Leon period to go over so that we can finally see this guy get his shot so I just want to see this dude get his title shot then we got balah Muhammad he's just boring here I mean I don't want to be one of these people that just kind of hate on Balan Muhammed for the sake of hating on he's just not that interesting his press conferences and him on the mic is not that likable his fights are kind of boring his fight with Gilbert Burns were boring and every single one of his other notable wins have been boring the fight with Shawn Brady fair play he got the finish I think he's kind of just like a better version of Corby Covington he's got better wrestling he actually has better fight IQ because he uses his pressure to his advantage and he striking is probably better than cobby Covington's at this moment in time he striking isn't great but he's not bad at the same time he outstruck Gilbert Burns he has been koed by jeffie ol vente luk do I think he beats lean Edwards no I think lean Edwards beats him at it looked like the way that first fight was going Leon had the upper handing I think that's going to happen again but there's no doubting that balam mhamed is definitely one of the best welterweights in the world he's deserved his title shot whether you like him or not um I'm kind of I'm interested to see what the UFC do with balal after if he loses to Liam because I don't think they're going to give him any more big fights but he's just a good wrestler he's just a really good wrestler who's improved his strike and has managed to get a title shot he's not the most interesting he's not the most likable but not everyone in the UFC can be likable not everyone in the UFC can be interesting to make us appreciate the fun Fighters we have to have boring Fighters like balal we'll see how he does at UFC 3 or four I don't think he's going to win but he's got the title shot and then we've got Kamar Osman I mean just look at the resume one of the greatest welterweights of all time I'd probably say he's top three greatest welterweights in UFC history this dude from this dude's era he looked like he was unbeatable when Kamar isman was in his era of being a champion I genuinely couldn't pick out one fighter in the UFC that I thought was going to be Usman he looked Unstoppable especially the the one thing I loved about watching nman as well was the way that during his ttle Reign we got to see him progress as a fighter he started off as this kind of one-dimensional wrestler like he did in the first fight with mafal where he kind of just to stomping people and the fight with tyon Woodley and it seemed like he was going to be one of these boring Champions but we saw as he went on he evolved he knocked out jge maidel he out struck and finished Gilbert Burns he brought Corby Covington's jaw and then beat him in the rematch he evolved as a fighter and it looked like this dude was completely Unstoppable in the welterweight Division I mean look at his resume Woodley the win over lean Edwards two wins over Covington two wins over Mazel Burns Strickland when he was at welterweight the sanos and Meer he's beaten some great people and during his error of the welterweight division he was Untouchable obviously lost to Leon Edwards and as of right now I don't know what's next for him he's on a three-fight losing streak got koed by Edwards and the fact that he was winning then lost the decision and now he's well last year he lost to Chay his knees are bad he's getting older he's definitely out of his prime but I still think there's a lot of people Usman is able to put out I want to see him fight I don't know if he's going to be at welterweight or midweight I just want to see Usman go out there and have a performance that reminds of us reminds us of Usman back in 2021 so one of the greatest welterweights of all time well-rounded definitely kind of washed these days but I just want to see Usman fight one more time and his performance against chamay wasn't even bad it was an arguable draw so definitely one of the best Welter witz and then Leon Edwards does he have that same thing that Usman had in the sense that you know he looks unbeatable no but he is super well-rounded right now the were two wins over karsman are some of the best wins that any wel to it in the UFC has right now not only koing karsman to win the belt but also beating him by decision he has one of the best title wins in koos in UFC history as well again not one of these super interesting Fighters but he completely shut down the the game of Kobe Covington beat vente luk battered n Diaz for 24 minutes and has some also some other good wins as well and I think he was personally winning that balam mhamad fight I'm going to see how they do with UFC 30 or4 and his only notable loss is a guy that he's already beaten twice and he's 2-1 against so he's definitely the best welterweight in the world right now is he that interesting not exactly but maybe he turns up against Balan Muhammad we'll have to see a really really technical Striker probably one of the most technical fights in the UFC right now doesn't want to risk it um also he grappling is improved a lot we talked about Osman and how his striking improved Leon's kind of like the opposite we all knew he had good striking but it seems to be that his grappling is improved first guy to take down Usman in the UFC took down Corby Covington his grappling has improved so much he's super well-rounded and I know there's a few welterweights that pose a threat to Le Edwards but without a doubt he's definitely the best welterweight in the world and I hope he does stay Champion for a while because he well I don't I don't if I hope he stays Champion but I hope he beats Balan Muhammad put it that way so best welterweight in the world and his wins over Usman definitely definitely you know showed how good he is so definitely one of the best in the world right now then we got the lightweight division number 15 we've got Bobby green or technically now it's King green if you Lightweight go on the UFC rankings has officially changed his name to King Green so I don't know what he's going to be announced as maybe he's announced as king king green but Bobby Green's a bit of a weird one because there's some performances where he looks amazing and there's some performances where he just looks Untouchable in that fight like his recent fight at UFC 300 he does battered Jim Miller he beat nazra hack Paras the dominant performance over Tony Ferguson shutting down the prospect of Grant Dawson his boxing slick and he's got really good taked down defense and he's just super defensive but then there's other performances where he kind of just gets a little broad like the fact with Islan makev but fair enough that's number one guy where got KO bore ages ago but even the recent performances the fact with Jalen Turner one of the most brutal Knockouts in well in UFC history where he got finished by Drew doers who was a bit of a weird one I find him a bit inconsistent um personality wise it's always good to have someone who's actually going to bring personality to the lightweight division he comes around he's got some good personality he's always fun at press conferences he Bobby green he's just a really fun boxer I feel like there's no middle ground though it's either him absolutely outboxing people until he finishes them or it's him getting finished pretty early on I feel like there's no middle ground with Bobby green um and I actually do think he's going to absolutely batter Patty piml at UFC 30 or4 I think that's actually a stylistic nightmare for Patty pinet because like I said Green's got really good takedown defense and on the feet he's so slick with his hands I think he's going to pece up paty pinet so really good boxer one of the better guys in the in the top 10 to top 15 SL unranked um area of the lightweight division he's just really good as a boxer I just don't think he's consistent enough and he doesn't really tend to pick up momentum it seems like whenever he picks up a win he then picks up a loss but he's a fun personality to have in the lightweight division he definitely stirs a lot of I'm not going to say beef but definitely stirs a lot of controversy with other Fighters which is good to see in the lightweight division so Bobby green he's a funny guy he's a fun personality to have not the most consistent but you know every now and then he would just put on a dominant performance like he did in his last fight with Jim Miller so I definitely think he deserved the ranking um but he's definitely not one of the best ranked lightweights in the world and then we've got number 14th Rafael Des Sanchos I don't know what theis ision this dude is trying to stay up because there'll be some fights where he's fighting at welterweight and there'll be some where he's fighting at lightweight he's a legend in the lightweight division like you look at this dude's resume he has fought everyone he fought khab magov was scheduled to fight McGregor he fought Nate Diaz Bon Henderson Anthony Pettis Tony Ferguson Eddie Alvarez gamr FV this dude's resume is insane he has fought everyone he doesn't duck anyone and he's not even I mean he's definitely fallen off these past couple of fights he seems to be a lot less uh consistent with his wins he's definitely not as active but it was only a few years ago when he put that performance of a lifetime against ronato maano he absolutely destroyed maano when they fought a few years ago I think that was on the mafel card he's got some decent wins like I said Diaz when he beat Diaz when Diaz was on his come up Pettis Donald Cerrone twice he he's definitely lost his momentum recently and I feel like he's only one loss away from being kicked out the rankings but at the same time he hasn't really lost to any bad opponents he lost to viente luk um last year and then recently he lost a gamra who's probably going to be challenging for Bel in a couple of fights he lost a seef who's one of the best strikers in the division and the other guys were the best at the time he you know he didn't lose to fuson when fuson was washed he lost to Alvarez when Alvarez was at best he lost to khabib so he doesn't like he's lost to anyone bad he's just overall a legend in the lightweight division I'm hoping he does retire soon because this dude has been in the UFC for so long but imagine piml beats Bobby green and then they do Rafael Des Sanchos versus piml and he just absolutely batters paty piml that would be pretty satisfying I think he's just trying to collect a couple paychecks for his last couple of fights in the UFC but yeah he's probably the biggest legend in the lightweight division right now who's actually ranked the fact that he's still ranked is insane if you look how long he's been in the UFC so rafield de Sanchos just a legend in the lightweight division then we have jayen Turner this dude could have been this dude really has potential to be one of the best lightweights in the world because he's so dangerous there's some fights where jeling Turner just goes out there and he looks Unstoppable I mean that Dan hooker fight nearly KO Dan hugle with a head kick and it was a close decision in which he lost butat myo fight he was a few seconds of finishing herat manano at UFC 300 he could be getting a big fight right now in the lightweight division he could have been get getting matched up against somebody like um benil darush but he always fumbles it he fumbled the Dan hooker fight well I guess it wasn't really his fault but he definitely fumbled the moano fight but he's still such a such a dangerous guy submitting Brad Rell got one of the most brutal KES in UFC history against Bobby green now I do think he does struggle to make the lightweight Division I don't know if he's planning on staying at lightweight permanently because he is a really big lightweight he's missed before and he's probably one of the biggest lightweights on the roster um and I do think he tends to Fumble finishes a lot but he's just such a dangerous guy he's kind of like one of those killer be killed Fighters it's either him getting finished him getting in an absolute war or he's going out there and delivering a brutal finish he's just a a dangerous guy in the lightweight Division I don't really know what's next for him though because he's Beat Bobby green and then he's lost obviously to hetat maano and he's lost to gamr but he's also lost to foral I don't really know what's next in his career I I should I matched him up against Diego fera but he's just a fun dangerous guy in the lightweight division to see never really in a boring fight ever so he's definitely one of my favorite lightweights to watch but it's so frustrating whenever he fumbles these finishes like it did at UFC 300 then we got benoir St Denise the biggest throw check in UFC history night he wasn't the biggest but this guy had so much momentum coming into that Dustin porier fight to the point where getting a win over Matt fola granted him a fight against top three I think it was Dustin porier yes he got fraud checked and he got dropped and koed by Dustin porier but to be fair he didn't look too bad in that first round he had a very grappling heavy approaching that first round against Dustin porier that seemed to be working and then he got caught by a big shot in that second round but to be fair to he did have staff infection I'm not making excuses for him he looked great in all of his other fights the fight with Moes the finish of matola and I still think he's one of the most dangerous dudes in the lightweight division because he's got really good grappling his submissions are underrated his wrestling's really good as we saw in that first run against Dustin porier and he's an absolute killer on the feet I am picking him to beat hanato M who's matched up against for UFC Paris he's now got a main event opportunity and I think has potential to be a big star in the lightweight Division I feel like the poier fight he got rushed in too quickly we've seen multiple times when you get rushed in too quickly it doesn't work we saw it with it cralis against Whitaker this is another example I still think he has potential to be a top five fighter if he just takes his time the UFC canid did him dirty by put him in against porier too easily but he's such a dangerous guy he's a killer and I think he's the future of French MMA sir gone seems like he has no interest in fighting for a belt he he seems like he has no interest in Legacy so let's have benell Cent is the new Big French star so I think he has a lot of potential need to see how he does against mik Caro I think he's going to finish him but yeah definitely a dangerous guy in the lightweight division Dan hooker I just want to see this dude fight again like I know I've said this about a couple of Fighters already on this list but he is never in a boring fight that fight with jelly toner which was his last fight obviously got injured which is why he's been out for a year but that was such a fun fight um and he's just such a killer as Dan hooker as well he's had so many scraps and he's fought so many top people welcome Michael Chandler to the UFC had an absolute war with Dustin pory I'd argue that's probably one of the best fights in UFC history um beat Nazar hack Paras the fight with Paul Felder was amazing beat Jim Miller the Gilbert Burns F when Burns was at lightweight he's just a fun guy do I ever think he's ever going to become a champion or make it to the top five rankings I don't I don't think he's consistent enough I don't think he's active enough and I feel like he is kind of one-dimensional he's got good striking but apart from that he is kind of you know he's kind of a bit of a one trick pony on the feet but he's still just a really fun guy he's a he's a bit of an odd personality I don't like how sometimes he makes EXC uses after his fight so I wouldn't say I'm a massive fan of his personality but when it comes to fighting he's one of those guys in the lightweight division that he never in a boring fight so I just want him to return to the Octagon I think he might be taking on gamr at UFC 305 I've heard rumors of that but I just want him to be back soon because he's a fun guy then we got hanato maano this dude has taken the opportunity that was gifted to him and he's one of the most exciting guys in the lightweight Division I mean personality wise on the mic he's definitely one of the funniest he's got broken English but he's just his post fight press conference is are amazing he's probably the go of pul press conferences and he's put together a bit of a winning streak beating Brad Rell then he finished Drew Dober I think it was a COR made event of a fight night which was amazing when he was able to get that win over Drew Dober he didn't finish him but he got the decision win and then got that win over Jalen Turner when he got dropped by jeling Turner We all thought he was going in Turner's Direction then he pulled off that comeback submission or TKO against Jalen Turner and got the finish at UFC 300 and now he's managed to get a main event opportunity against Ben SES and like I said I am picking Ben stes to win this fight I think Han m is really talented as a Grappler he's a really good submission artist I just think his hands and his striking is where it lacks as we saw in that fight with RAF when he got KO and where he got absolutely destroyed against rafhael Des Sanchos but if he can sharpen up his striking he's got the personality he's got the grappling he's he has everything you know it takes to become a big star in the lightweight division so I can't wait see him back and even though I am you know picking benwell St Denise to win I would not mind at all if moano wins that fight gets on the gets on the mic and starts calling out the lightweight division because he's one of the most exciting lightweight in and out of the Octagon right now so you just can't hit my Caro then we' got Max Hol now this is a bit of a weird one because as you can see I've only got one and I've only got one notable win and one notable loss well I'm talking about strictly the lightweight division Max holay we'll talk about the featherweight Max Holloway we get out to the featherweight division but his fight with Justin gy was sick man like after the fight with Dustin porier a few years ago I heard a lot of people and including myself we were kind of writing off Max holay saying that he's probably not going to be able to move up and beat Justin gatei but to be fair that fight with Dustin porier was on short notice so we didn't have that much time to adjust to the new weight class and we saw against Justin gei that was such a good performance batter Justin gatei for four rounds straight and then in the fifth round got the KO broke his nose dropped him that was such a good performance against Justin gatei he looked amazing in that fight and I wouldn't be mad if he stuck at the lightweight division obviously I would prefer him to go to 145 and face toore for the belt but the fact that he's ranked like number Eighth in the lightweight Division I don't think makes any sense he should be ranked much higher than number Eighth after that performs against Justin gatei but if we're talking about strictly the lightweight division max holay top three fighter in the division one of the best boxers in the UFC we'll talk about him as a featherweight which is where most of his career is held in a second but at the lightweight Division I hope he does fight at lightweight again and like him versus porier again would be sick him versus any top five fighter yeah Max holay his lightweight fight against gatei was amazing rapael FV again another fighter on this list that has been injured and I just want to see him come back obviously got injured against gamr he's still such a good striker he's probably the most entertaining striker in the lightweight division he's such a slick tie boxer his Muay TI is amazing he's come up to the lightweight he's come up to the F of Justin G he was so fun to see KO inato maano beating Jalene Turner Bobby green Des Sanchos he's already beaten four ranked opponents already I just want to see this dude return he had a big fight with Justin gei and it isn't even like he got fraud checked I know a lot of people like throwing the word fraud check around but he he didn't even get fraud checked against Justin gy that fight it was a very very close fight a lot of people thought FV won that fight and that was definitely his biggest fight today at UFC 286 and then he thought gamr which was a stylistic nightmare and to be fair he didn't even do that badly against gamrot um because obviously he got injured in the fight as well I just want to see him come back I'd like to see him come back against somebody like Dan hooker or beril darush I just want to see FV back because he's probably the most entertaining striker in the lightweight division right now so I just want to see Rafael FV come back such a fun guy to watch on the feet and if this dude can imp improve his grappling and his stamina because obviously that was lacking in the Justin Gatey fight this dude could be fighting for a Bel one day and I'm being serious because his striking is just that good never really been out struck in the UFC apart from that third round against gatei when he was completely gassed but yeah I just want to see him come back then we got benil darush I still think beril darush is one of the best lightweights in the world I don't think he's ever going to win a Bel I don't think he's ever going to get a title shot or anything like that but he's still one of the most skilled you look at the guys he's lost to recently Charles Ola former Champion Arman cukin is going to be fighting for a belt next and even though he has kind of become a bit chin in his last few fights you got to remember the performan he's having before that Matas gamr is one of the best lightweights right now he's put together a massive streak he's the only guy recently to actually get a win over Matas gamra at UFC to8 he absolutely batted him the performance against Tony Ferguson beat Tony Ferguson before he was officially washed beat Drew Dober Thiago Moises beating Diego FAA twice which is aged really well because now we know that feda is one of the best unranked lightweights in the world beating Michael Johnson he's just super dangerous as benil darush he's such a dangerous fighter he's just good everywhere as well he's well-rounded he's a good submission artist but on the feet he has the capability to piece people up he's been out for a while hopefully he his chin isn't gone too bad because he definitely looked a very chinny against Alman cukin and Charles Aliva but I think he definitely has what it takes to get another amazing performance like it did against gam UFC 28 again I don't know how long's left for his career I don't think he's got too too much of a bright future in the lightweight Division I think everyone every one of the top lightweights probably beats him but I think I think he definitely has capability to put on a dominant performance against so beril darush dangerous guy just had a couple shaky past few fights Michael Chandler this dude has flushed his career down the drain recently because he wants that fight with Conor McGregor and I hope he does get the fight with Conor McGregor because he's he's literally sacrificed years off his career for it and I do want to see that fight to be honest he's just a fun fighter like Michael Chandler is one of those fighters in the UFC that you could bet money on that he's going to be a fun fight he's a very explosive Striker he's got dangerous hands and as Al manukian perfectly said Michael Chandy can almost guarantee he's going to have a fun fight which he ends up losing he isn't the most consistent in the UFC in the UFC alone he's only beaten Dan hooker and Tony Ferguson beat both of them by KO and it just showed how explosive he was he also beat Eddie Alvarez and Benson Henderson twice outside the UFC and in the UFC that foul of Charles Ola for the belt he was moment away from winning the lightweight belt he nearly finished Charles olera he came closest to finishing Charles Oliva about that compared to every other lightweight that beat him or the lost to him he almost finished Oliver and became the lightweight champion he had a back and forth fight with Justin gei he's fight with Dustin porier nearly finished Dustin porier the problem with Michael Chandler is his fight IQ he's got terrible fight IQ he goes for the takedowns when he rocks an opponent and he just I feel like if he had good fight IQ he has everything it takes to become a champion I've said it before and I'll say it again I think out of every lightweight Michael Chandler has the best chance well not the best chance but he's a stylistic nightmare for Islam makev because if you think about it Michael Chandler he's an explosive wrestler with dangerous hands who puts on the pressure and he's also got great wrestling to back it up and great uh yeah just great explosive wrestling he's super strong and explosive for the lightweight division as well I think he's a nightmare match up for most people in the division if this dude had fight IQ he would be a top lightweight in the world and I hope he does get his fight with Conor McGregor because he's been sacrificing years off his life we could have had so many fun fights um with Michael Chandler involved if he didn't wait for that fight with McGregor so I hope he does get the fight very motivational on the mic a bit of a dirty fighter in the O gun but he's just one of those f is that you just want to see him fight you know he's going to be a banger and you know he can switch to LS off anyone at any time so definitely one of the funnest lightweights in the world Matas gamrot maybe not one of the funnest lightweights in the world I feel like gamr is one of those Fighters that if he was to randomly get a race from the UFC nobody would realize it I feel like with gamrot he's in a bit of a tricky position because he's a good wrestler but he's not one of the best wrestlers like makev or serukan he's a decent it's just hard to describe gamr because he's not overly exciting he's not the best wrestler he's not not really consistent either because even though he has got a lot of good wins the armman suian fight was a very close fight which a lot of people thought armman serukan should have won the physia fight ended in an injury the Jing turn fight was a decision win it wasn't like he went out there and dominated him and apart from that he hasn't really done anything I mean the Diego ah head of fight was good beating Rafael De Sanchez I guess was good and he got absolutely destroyed by benil darish a few years ago he just doesn't have that win that has given him momentum it's either really close fights which shouldn't have gone his way or it's him losing like he did against benil darus I I feel like if he's able to pick up a win against somebody like Charles olera he's going to get his name out there in the lightweight Division I don't think he becomes a champion I think makev is better better better than him on the feet and um when it comes to wrestling same for Arman serukan but if he can show me something in his next couple of fights that shows me that he's definitely one of the best then you know you got to ride on the on the hyper gam up but he just needs that one big statement Mak him winning the lightweight division which he just hasn't been able to get so hopefully he can get some momentum hopefully he can become a little bit more interesting because it seems like apart from a double Leg Takedown he doesn't really have anything into offer so we'll see what gam R's career looks like in the next few years I don't think he becomes a champion but he's a good wrestler and I think he is top five worthy for the UFC Dustin porier I mean just look at this dude's resumee he is a legend in the lightweight division this dude has fought so many people the the fights with Connor McGregor where he is able to beat Conor McGregor where we saw one of the first nice guy McGregor the two Wars he had with Justin gatei where he got KO and he finished Justin gy as well the Banger with Michael Chandler Max holway first fights at 155 the war with Dan hooker the fight with Eddie Alvarez koing and shutting down the prospect of Beno St Denise koing Bobby green beating Diego V Anthony Pettis Jim Miller this dude's resumee is so stacked he probably has one of the best rums in the complete lightweight division right now never was able to win a belt I feel like Grapplers to this dude's worst nightmare lost to makev Lost to khabib Lost to Charles olera so Grapplers is definitely his weak point but he's one of the best boxers in the UFC such a slick boxer so experienced he's had so many fun fights um do I think he's going to win a belt again no but I would love to see gei Maybe not gei maybe I would love to see porier maybe go against somebody like gei and just have a few fun fights in the lightweight division he's just a legend in the lightweight division you can't not like Dustin por and I think everyone was rooting for him to be Islam maev not because I don't like makev but because porier he's been around for so long he's fought everyone in the lightweight division it just would have been a good cherry on top to his already great career to see him win the lightweight belt and become the Undisputed Champion but he's definitely one of the Great fighters in UFC history to never win an Undisputed belt I would say he probably is the best fighter to never win an Undisputed belt because this dude's resume is stacked and he's just been a top Fighter for the longest time he's never fallen off so Dustin porier fun guy great boxer good personality as well and he's just somebody that you want to root for in the lightweight Division and even though he's never going to win an Undisputed belt he definitely has the crown as the greatest fighter to never win an Undisputed belt and then we have Justin gei very similar to Dustin Dustin porier just an absolute Legend he's kind of like he's just kind of like a car that's going on full speed and then he's like a car crash whenever he goes into someone he's just such a fun guy to watch some of the best leg kicks in the lightweight division super powerful such a good Striker he has had a couple of shaky fights in his past few I mean the max holay fight he did get completely destroyed by Max Holloway but he's still put on a fun fat at UFC 300 and threw down um he has lost to Dustin porier before and obviously he lost to kabib and Charles L for the belt again another one of these Fighters that I think is he's a legend in the lightweight division he's going to continue having fun fights as he has he's never going to win an Undisputed belt but you got to remember Justin gji was the guy who started the losing streak of Tony Ferguson he went out there and had a war with Michael Chandler shut down the prospect of Rafael F he's still one of the best lightweights in the world he's probably going to be out for a while after his fight with Max Sol but he's just such a fun fighter to see similar to Dustin porier two legends he's never really fallen off the second people think you know an up and cominging Prospect is going to go and beat Justin gei he absolutely batters them he's just such a such a dangerous guy and he is the epitome of violence there's a reason people call Justin gatei your favorite Fighter's favorite fighter because that's just the type of guy gei is never in a boring fight then we got Charles Ola Charles oliva's title run was probably the most entertaining title run in the UFC because when Charles Ola was winning these fights it felt like we were winning as well as Oliva he had probably one of the most entertaining title runs in the UFC and he's still one of the biggest fan favorites in the UFC for good reason started off his title run by fighting Michael CH nearly got finished in that first round pulls out a KO against Michael Chandler in that second round became the lightweight champion then he thought Dustin porier I think yeah then he thought Dustin porier got dropped multiple times in that first round we all thought porier was going to win and then he goes out there and submits him in the second the F with Justin gei him and gei having a back and forth scrap on the feet and then latches up the submission and that was when it wasn't actually for the belt because Oliver missed weight and then he comes back loses to Islan makev but there's no shame in that because makev is one of the best in the world and then he K benil darou and you know what I'm going to say that Ola still has a chance to fight for a belt because if he gets matched up against let's say somebody like gamrot next and armman suin in is like maacha f if he beats gamrot he could make a case to say that he wants the wants the title shot in the lightweight division because him and Islan makev they've only fought once he had a very close fight with Amman suoi and if he can go out there and beat gamrot as well as he's already stacked resume at 155 I would not mind Oliver winning the belt again and if there was one fter in the lightweight division then I would want to see win the belt just one last last time it would probably be Charles ol because he had the most entertaining title run in the UFC he was exciting he had multiple ways to win he was a good personality and he's just a guy that you want to root for in the UFC so Charles Ola I hope he doesn't go on a losion streak I hope he picks up a couple of more wins because he's just such an entertaining guy to watch and to be honest he has only lost to the two best in the division which are both some of the best wrestlers as well he's got a stacked that resume one of the best lightweight champions in terms of entertainment and then we got armman serukan in my opinion definitely the toughest test in the lightweight division for Islan makev we talked about Michael Chandler being difficult but I think Arman cukin is probably stylistically the the most difficult fight for isan makev his hands are amazing as he showed against beril daru sleeping him in the first round and then his wrestling offense is so dangerous as well that foul with yoel Alvarez yel Alvarez is sick and he just dominated him with the ground and pound beat Charles oler the only guy in the lightweight division really recently to beat charlesa apart from the champion Islan makev and he's had a fight with Islan makev before in his debut he was a super competitive fight he lost to gamr but that was also a super competitive fight I don't think he's going to become a champion because makev is that good but he's such a top Contender and I think he is always going to be the number one guy in the lightweight division for a long time like we talk about Dustin Port not Dustin we talk about volkanovski in holay when volkanovski was Champion holloware was the number one guy when Kamar rman was the champion kobby comington was the number one guy I can see Islan makev staying the champion for a while and Alman rukin being the number one guy where he just shuts down every of a lightweight Contender that gets to him and he robs people of so many of a title shots so definitely one of the most entertaining well I won't say one of the most entertaining but definitely one of the best wrestlers in the division and I'm not even going to write off his chances of beating is makev even though I am rooting for makach to win that fight it would not surprise but it would probably would surprise me but he's just a sick fighter as Alman tqi and definitely the best if you take away Islam and then we got Islam himself this dude is the best fighter in the UFC right now he is the best I can't see anybody beating isan makev he looks pretty much Unstoppable with every UF C Champion there was usually one kind of way that you can improve them you know whether it be they lacking they grappling whether their hands aren't as good is like maev is one of the few champions in the UFC right now where I genuinely can't see any weaknesses he doesn't he just looks Unstoppable he's f with Charles Lera Charles L was the best lightweight in the world taking on every Contender and Mev made ol look like an amateur he's beaten Alman rukin before finish Dustin porier beat Alexander volovski twice I know the first fight was very competitive but he had one of the Great fights in UFC history against volovski making history with the two pound-for-pound best going against each other and then finished him in the rematch Beat Bobby green easily beat Dan hooker easily I think makev is going to hold on to the belt for a long time and I think he will retire as the greatest lightweight of all time and I even think he has a good chance of beating Leon Edwards at 170 he's just Unstoppable he's the best wrestler in the UFC he's got probably some of the best submission offense in the UFC as well put porier to sleep with his submission submitted Chara and L is one of the best submission artist out struck volkanovski in that second fight and volkanovski is one of the best tracks in the UFC this dude is just good everywhere his standup is improved as well he's now a dangerous Striker there's no way to beat this guy he just looks Unstoppable in the lightweight Division and I just can't see anyone beating Islan makev so I'm going to say that makev is probably the best fighter in the entirety of the UFC right now he's the most complete fighter in the UFC right now and unless somebody gets a fluke finish over makev I just don't see how it's possible to defeat this guy he is that good the Featherweight featherweight division at number 15th we've got the legend Edson Barboza um if we talk about Edson Barbosa's featherweight career only because in the lightweight Division I feel like that's where most of his career was talkative but if we talking about him purely at featherweight he still had a couple of good wins and I still feel like he has the capability to put people out of there that scrap with Sadi husf last year in which he was actually able to beat him as well that was a really good fight that KO that need to Billy Q last year as well that late delay KO to Shane Bergos as still think Edson bazza has the capability to put people out of there um but I just don't really want to see him around the rankings anymore he thought Bryce Mitchell got dominated in that fight he he took a beaten against Lon Murphy recently lost to Giga chedi lost to danig I feel like Edon Barbosa he's not too far away from retirement I'm going to be honest he's getting old in age he's a veteran in the UFC he's clearly not really on the same level of these ranked guyss anymore I wouldn't mind seeing him face some unrack dudes maybe you know give him a prospect that's not too dangerous I don't even like I said man the idea of him retiring but I feel like Edon boser has had a great career in his prime probably one of the greatest kickboxers in UFC history this dude's kicks R insane that KO that he had over Terry him in the lightweight division that was insane that roundhouse that wheel kick I mean that this dude is an absolute monster um yeah Edon bza great kickboxer I'd like to see him fight again because he's always having fun fights recently or it's ending in the ko. but I just don't know how much he has to offer he's Olden age he's taking a beating in every well at least it did in his last fight so I don't know what's next for Bob oza but he's definitely fun to watch Dan eay this dude is absolutely game again he's on the lower end of the rankings he's lost to a lot of ranked dudes evloev Emma K and zombie Bryce Mitchell Diego Lopez recently and Calvin ker but this dude is game for and I think the shortest notice in UFC history recently at UFC 3 or three I think it was like four hours notice or something like that when he fought Diego LZ and he put up a really good fight he was actually starting to land some great shots on Diego Lopez it wasn't even like he was you know getting dominated by Diego Lopez he's beating iton Barbosa he's beating n the tray Andre Philly he's got some pretty good wins under his name and he's very very dangerous as well as Dan e this dude can crack he's a very dangerous guy as we saw in that Andre Philly uh fight and I definitely expect more Kos to come from danay maybe he's not know Champion M Champion material maybe he's not Contender material but he's just a dangerous guy that comes to bring it every single time and I feel like he's won a lot of fans over after his last fight with like I said Diego Lopez when he fought on short notice because this dude is game he's the young Crown BMF of the bantamweight division at the featherweight division sorry so Dan EIG just a fun guy very dangerous guy too you just can't hate danig man then we have Bryce Mitchell yeah this dude was I remember when this dude was one of the biggest prospects in the UFC when he was coming into that Toria fight undefeated and he had a ton of H to his name he's still a decent Grappler dominated Edson Barboza dominated Dan beat andreil he's still a really good Grappler is Bryce Mitchell um but I wonder where this dude is gone and where he's going to be for a while because obviously he's been out for ages because of that brutal KO over Josh EMT he's been on the receiving end of one of the most brutal Kos in UFC history man I don't even know if he's going to be back this year he fought on 296 I don't even know that if he's going to be back this year because how brutal that KO is it might have been that brutal they might have knocked even more CT into him I've been seeing this dude on podcasts I don't remember anything specific but I just know that this dude is coming up with the most random [ __ ] you watch Bryce Mitchell on a podcast he's going to talk about how the Earth is flat he's going to talk about his political views he's just an interest personality in the featherweight division obviously fought toore as well where he took his first loss and Toria kind of dominated him but to be fair to Bryce Mitchell he was Landing some good shots on El torei on the feet um and I think he just needs to I think he just needs to sharpen up his strike him we all know he's a really good Grappler but there's a couple holes in his game he's he's probably going to be extremely chinny after that fight with Josh EMT now I want to see Bry Mitchell fight again man it's nothing like a Bry Mitchell fight week especially when there's a press conference um and we're going to remember everyone Hypes up Holloway for getting those shorts those floral shots and porv getting his shots brass Mitchell was to do it first this dude got his camo shots first so he's a fun guy as brass Mitchell never going to be a champion or anything like that but he was a fun Prospect at one point and he's definitely one of the better personalities at featherweight then we got Diego Lopez the chariz Vera of the featherweight division this dude is he's got a little H to his name and he has for a while and for good reason that K Over Pat satin that KO UFC 300 over sadique Yousef that fight with Danny and people give Danny credit like I said for fighting on short notice but you got to give Diego Lopez you know credit as well this dude fought on a de notice against Dan EIG who's a dangerous guy he didn't have to do that now he has lost before he but you look at the people he's lost to he not that bad he fought he lost against mvs or evloev in a close fight and now Evo is one of the best in the UFC and he lost on the contender series to Yo Anderson Brito who again is probably the best unranked fighter in the featherweight division Diego Lopez is just good everywhere he's a really good personality he's one of those guys you just want to root for he's got really really good submissions his striking is dangerous he working the clinch is dangerous he's just I think he's got top five potential I hope he gets a big fight next like a yaya Rodriguez or I don't know whoever else there is maybe a remat not a rematch but a rescheduling with Brian egga he needs a top five opponent because he's super fun to watch and he deserves it I just want to see Diego Lopez get his title run man Diego Lopez title run 2024 hopefully he is a fun guy to watch I just he's just one of those guys you want to see fight on every card so he's definitely one of my favorite featherweights Lon Murphy the Dark Horse of the featherweight division I'm not just saying that because he's from the UK the featherweight division has so many British fighters in as well but no luron Murphy um I feel like he's got potential to be a top five fighter I'm not going to say He's got potential to be a champion because I haven't seen enough from him yet but he's undefeated as Lon Murphy and I feel like he's just silently clammed his way to the top he's not this insane trash talker he hasn't got this super exciting style but he's a really good Grappler as Lon Murphy his wrestling is really on point his striking is improved as well he's really technical just recently got that good win over at B balls which is his best win yet and he's going to climb the rankings and like I said he's a stylistic problem for a lot of people in this division he's a dark CT and I think he's got top five potential um I will say though a lot of his fights have been very close I remember I think it was the UFC London card he fought a debutant and arguably lost that fight so he needs to get a bit of momentum he needs to beat a proper opponent in the um in the featherweight division maybe like a Calvin ker or a Dan eay but he's a really good Prospect as Laurel Murphy and I think like I said he has potential to be a top five fighter he's not getting his flashy finish he's not got this flashy personality but he's a tough [ __ ] as we saw in that it B bat and you read the stories what this guy's been through online as well tough guys L Ro Murphy and I just hope he makes it far in the UFC featherweight Division and gets another British champion in the UFC Giga chedi I mean first of all what is this dude's build second of all he's basically like a bad version of yay Rodriguez I think Arnold Allen's going to run through him no British B at all but no next week I do think Allan's going to finish him he's a good kickboxer as Giga ched he got that that good win over Alex Ceres I think that was his last fight beat CB Swanson got a good win over red and B boser as well but like I said B boser is getting up there in age and he kind of got beaten up by Calvin ker he's just a solid kickboxer as gig chedi I think he deserves his place in the ranking I don't think he's ever going to beat anyone really above him unless he I don't know I can't really see him beating anyone ranked above him I think Arnold Allen like I said runs through him he's just a good kickboxer not one of the best strikers in the division he's got decent clinch work as well does Giga jenzi not the most dangerous dude though U that's all I got really say about kikii he's just there and he's kind of like one of the filler guys in the in the featherweight division don't really know what to say about him solid kickboxer Calvin ker this dude needs to pick up a win as soon as possible man this dude has been getting beaten up on I feel like Calvin ker is like one of those dudes in the featherweight division that is notorious for being on the other end of people's highlight reel got one of the most dominating beatdowns against Max holay a few years ago got Ragdoll by aljamain Sterling and that was Sterling's featherweight debut at UFC 300 um got finished by Josh EMT as well got styled on by zabe got finished by Arnold Al but to be fair that was a you know it was a bit of an injury there lost to herat M Caro this dude has been getting beaten up on and he's on the receiving end of a lot of these featherweights highlight re but he's got some good wins under his name and I feel like he's established that that fight with Jeremy Stevens was brutal beat Shane Bergos Andre Philly good win over Dan and like I said a good win over G chedi I think he's just very one-dimensional as Carvin ker he's got the same style in every fight and that's his pressure boxing he's got really good boxing for the featherweight division but you take away his boxing and I feel like people have started to figure it out you see people aren't really engaging in a scrapers much with him people are coming in with different game game plans and I think if Carvin ker wants to make it in the feder weight Division I mean first of all he needs to go to a wrestling mat after that fight with Al in stol and I know stolen is a great wrestler but he got dominated and I think he just need to improve the variety of his striking you can't just do the same thing in every single fight and expect it to work Holloway found out first punished him for it uh but he's a I guess is a decent boxer as Calvin K not really much to say about him um he just needs to change his game up Alain Sterling I think he's matched up against Ms or evare for UFC 307 and he's a legit Contender I think if he beat I think he is a probably a future title Challenger in the featherweight division obviously a former CH champion in the Banton weight division he got that dominating win over Calvin ker he's not the most interesting guy I mean he's got a B you know bubbly I guess you can say personality he's not the most interesting guy to watch um he wasn't really that interesting in the bantamweight Division I he got that really boring win of Carin ker but it was a dominant win he's a really good wrestler I think he's going to beat Mar orev he's got some you know awkward stand up and I think he will fight forell if he beats Calvin ker there's a case to make that he could deserve a tle not beat Calvin ker if he beats Ms or EV there a case have said that he might deserve a title shot because Evo is one of the top federates right now and he's got that name of being a former Champion I think he will succeed I think he's a future top five opponent a top five potential for the Banton for the featherweight division do I think he's going to be a champion no I don't think he ever beats ilot toore or Max Hol or volkanovski but I think he sits perfectly in the top five of the featherweight division he's just a good wrestler who moved up and I'm glad that he has moved up because it's nice to have some more names in the featherweight division especially of multiple Styles Josh Emma the most brutal puncher in the featherweight division he's kind of like I know this is a bit of a weird comparison but he kind of reminds me of the Derek Lewis of the featherweight division Josh he's got good wrestling that he never used but the most important talking point in is this dude's power got probably one of the most brutal koos in UFC history when he fought Bry Mitchell at UFC 296 that Michael Johnson F he just hits so hard just Josh emit all it takes is one he he's also a fun fighter as well when he's Josh emit ever in a boring fight even in that lost it Elite toore andaya Rodriguez it was a really fun fight he's not the most technical striker in the featherweight Division I feel like you give this dude an elite Striker they're probably going to out strike him he's not one of the most talented in the division but his power is what's keeping himself far I want to know what's next for Josh EMT as well I don't know why he's not got a fight booked obviously koed Bryce Mitchell brutally at UFC 296 and he still hasn't got a fight scheduled I was hoping he was going to fight like Arnold Allen then obviously they announced a fight with gig Chi so I don't know what's next for Josh Emma I just want to see this dude fight because you can almost guarantee that it's going to be a scrap or it's going to end in him putting somebody to sleep he's a very hard-hitting dude and he's just somebody that's fun to watch and he's durable as well this dude how did he survive those five rounds with il Toria Toria batted him and he just kept walking forward Landing shot so you've got to respect Josh emman he's a powerful guy he's a fun guy to watch one of the most entertaining for the ways to watch Arnold Allen from the UK talk about entertaining this dude is the definition of a scrap he's the definition of entertaining and we're going to see that displayed next week when he goes out there and [ __ ] demolishes gika ched absolutely ran through against Dan hooker at UFC London that win over Calvin cater and Sadi qy have really good wins lost to Max holay and I would say out of everyone in the featherweight division that has lost to Max Holloway Arnold Allen probably put the best performance against Holloway he I'm not going to say he won the fight or came close but you know when most people fight holay they get batted or they get finished Allan put up a pretty good fight and that fight with evev it was a very questionable and controversial fight because of what went in in that fight and the decision Zone I still think he's one of the top featherweights in the world I'm not going to say he becomes a champion I don't think he'd ever beat aoria a Holloway uh maybe he could beat a volkanovski considering volkanovski's current stance in the in the division but I don't think he's ever going to win a belt but he's going to be one of these guys that come to scrap come to put in an absolute war and he's just one of the best kickboxers in the division I love watching arold Allen I can't wait to see him fight get gadzi and the fact that he's representing the UK one of my favorite fighters in the UFC featherweight division mzor evev probably one of the most hated dudes in the featherweight division um he's undefeated and he's a good wrestler that's all there is to it he's a good wrestler he's undefeated never finished anyone in the UFC and I don't really like how he talked about koing people on Twitter finishing people on Twitter like he does to Sterling considering that he's never finished anyone and he was quite salty like a salty winner after his win over Arnold Allen um he's got some good wins the Diego Lopez fight I guess is a good win in same for the Arnold Allen fight he's not a number one Contender yet I think he could f for about if he does beat Alain Sterling I'd say give evev his title shot it's between him and Orga next but considering Ortega pulled out I guess he's in front of Ortega I don't really know what to say one of the best wrestlers in the division undefeated kind of Fades as the round goes on not somebody that you really want to root for but if he gets it done he gets it done that's what I got to say about evev we need one of these guys in the division we got balah mhammad at well towe we need an neev we need a BAL mhamad of the featherweight Division and that is where evv comes in that's what I got to say about him then we got yay Rodriguez very one-dimensional um but he's probably one of the most crafty and entertaining kickboxers in the UFC this dude throws kicks like he throws punches his body kicks his head kicks his combination with his kicks he's a great Striker and he was starting to land on volkanovski in that title fight before obviously volkanovski landed that big right hand I think he was um he lost to Max Hollow as well Hollow is one of the best in the UFC when it comes to yayi Rodriguez just don't match him up against Grapplers and it's going to be a competitive fight you know vovi mixed it up with a takedown he finished him Holloway you can't really match him up against Hol is the best Ortega submitted him he's just very onedimensional as bright as Yi Rodriguez but he's got some good wins I mean I say he's not a good Grappler but he did submit Josh EMT and that injury win over Brian ala I'm not really going to talk about beat Curry and zombie with that last second KO that Jeremy Stevens fight the Dan hooker fight the Andre Philly fight he's just a really fun kickboxer to watch and I'd say he's probably the best pure kickboxer in the featherweight dividion if yayi Rodriguez had grappling you send this dude to dagistan to sharpen up his grappling he's going to be a top Contender for a while it's going to be hard to beat y Rodriguez one of the best kickbox in the division and he's got some I guess underrated Jiu-Jitsu it's just its wrestling definitely lacks and I think he does leave himself open to get hit a lot so hopefully he can find his game again and it it kind of looks bad when you lost to Brian Orga when all the stars line for him to win that fight but it is what it is Brian oer himself um it's hard to talk about Brian orer because I don't really know where to start I mean he's got he's probably got the best Jiu-Jitsu in the division he's got that sort of Jiu-Jitsu similar to like a Paul Craig where he can be losing theti fight and he just needs to latch up a submission that submission recently against y Rodriguez I mean this dude is just probably the best submission artist in the division in a division that's full of Strikers it's good to have someone that has multiple ways to win and it's not like he's got bad hands he has got pretty decent hands as well I won to say he's one of the best strikes in the division but he can strike I mean he near he was nearly the guy to take the belt away from volkanovski he had that war with Max Hol finished di Rodriguez when he was a massive Underdog and know Brian o is arguably next in line for the Bell obviously it's going to be Holloway but after hollway versus deoria Brian o is probably the number one Contender after that because of his win over y Rodriguez um I think he still needs that one big win but Brian alga you know he's a bit of an awkward guy when it comes to fighting but there's one thing for sure he ain't going to quit he's a fun guy to watch he's had some of the best fights in Featherwood history with Holloway and volovski and he's definitely got the best Jiu-Jitsu um so yeah is just someone you want to watch Max Holloway I mean this dude's resumee in the featherweight division is crazy he's definitely one of the greatest featherweights of all time and I think he's going to become a champion again when he faces Elite torei at UFC 306 I mean where do I even start beat Jose Aldo twice yay Rodriguez he's always been the second best featherweight in the world maybe even the best now that volkanovski is not the champion when volkanovski was the champion Holloway was always the best if Alexander volkanovski didn't exist Holloway could make a case to say that he might be the greatest featherweight of all time look at this dude's resume you want to talk about recently Arnold Allen Korean zombie Calvin ker yay Rodriguez Anthony Pettis beat allo when he was at featherweight Brian oer I already said that this dude has just cleared out the featherweight division it's kind of like when you don't want volkanovski to beat someone send them to Max holay he is definitely one of the greatest featherweights of all time probably the top 20 le as well because of what he's achieved he's beaten so many killers man he's cleared out the featherweight division he's beaten everyone probably one of the best boxes in UFC history he just lands so much he's got such high output he seems to be you know able to land he's got really good accuracy doesn't get hit too much as well he kind of found kind of felt like he found his crypto night in Alexander volkanovski that was just the one guy that he couldn't beat um and the only other lost to volovski feather it was Connor McGregor way back in the day when Holloway was starting out he's definitely one of the greatest featherweights of all time such a killer such a good boxer and again one of those Fighters that you just don't want to root against because of his personality top man is V is Max holay probably one of the most exciting fighters in UFC history how where do I even start man the the resume how funny is it's just it's impossible to not be a fan of Max holway so yeah I can't wait for this dude to fight with theoria and I think he has a good chance of beating him Alexander volkanovski Alexander volkanovski might have had one of the most entertaining title runs in UFC history history with guys like Ola there was nothing better in the UK they're waking up at 6: a.m. when you're tired and then volkanovski's walk out hits and he just destroys every featherweight that he goes against when he absolutely put on all Australian beating on Korean zombie when he battered Brian orger a game out of that guar te when he destroyed y Rodriguez at UFC 290 the three fights with Max Hol the third one being the most decisive he's had a bit of a shaky past few fights it's kind of weird to see volcanos not as the champion and he might found his Crypt night in ilot aoria I hope he takes some time off even though he's one of the best in the UFC definitely one of the greatest of all time he's got really good wrestling from that rugby background and obviously one of the best strikers I hope he finds his thing again man I hope he comes back and gets a good win he needs to take some time off I know he's addicted to fighting I just hope he takes some time off heals gets back in the featherweight division maybe faces a contender and just destroys the man volovski in his prime was like nothing else he was the best in the UFC the way people look at makev now we will look at volovski in his prime one of the greatest arguably the greatest featherweight of all time just someone that you can't HTE I just want to see volkanovski fight in the future man he's such a fun guy and his prime was a prime like no other and El Toria this dude is definitely the I don't know how to describe toore everyone hates this dude and even though I can understand why people dislike him he's very arrogant I feel like he plays the villain well in the featherweight division he knocked out everyone's fan favorite in Alexander vovi this dude is just like he's just the killer he's like the super villain he shut down the prospect of Bryce Mitchell shut down the prospect of Ryan Hall had one of the best fights of the year against Josh EMT last year koed everyone's favorite fighter in Alexander volovski and now he's trashing Max Hollow who Everyone likes he's the perfect villain in the UFC and he's so difficult to beat I mean he comes from a Jiu-Jitsu background he's got really good jiujitsu he submitted one of the best Grapplers at the time in Bryce Mitchell and he knocked out one of the best strikers in vulcanos he's got sharp boxing this dude where just such a dangerous guy he's a he's very very dangerous if he's not koing you he's putting you through hell it's going to be very hard for anyone to take away from the belt from Toria he's got a good chance of beating Holloway and if he does beat Max Holloway I don't see anyone in the featherweight division beating Elite Toria I don't see Brian egga doing it I don't see ev doing it I don't see anyone taking that belt away from torei we might have the future featherweight maybe not the future featherweight got but we might have the new volkanovski the featherweight division the evil volkanovski in other words I'm trying to say we might have the new guy who keeps on to keeps on the featherweight belat for the next few years and just batters everyone if Holloway can't do it I just struggle to see anyone else doing it he's the Dark Horse he's the villain but he's a [ __ ] killer as well so I think tor's got a lot of potential in the future of the featherweight division then we have Bantamweight the bantamweight division with Pedro Munos Pedro Munos is quite a weird bantamweight because I feel like it really depends on which version of Pedro Munos shows up because sometimes he looks a lot better than others like for example in his last fight with Kyler Phillips even though he wasn't that bad of a fight he did didn't look good he wasn't throwing nearly as much as he should have he just looked kind of [ __ ] in that f with Kyla Phillips but then there's other performances lack the performance against Chris Gutierrez in the fight with Rob fmer he looks really good so I just feel like he needs to be more consistent not only with his performances but with his wins and his losses I just don't think Pedro munz is consistent enough um but one thing I will say about Pedro munas is this guy is a tough [ __ ] he is not easy to finish I mean he's fought so many killers and taken so many Big Shots aldor Cruz Vera a couple fights to go only a few fats ago when he fought sha or mal I know that ended quickly because of the no contest but still didn't get caught by anything significant by Sha or mal the Kyla Phillips F recently it takes a lot to put Pedro Muno out so he's not a I mean he's got very very good Shin as Pedro Munos I just think he's not consistent enough he's a really technical Striker but I feel like he spends way too too like way too much time calculating because he isn't the highest output strikker so for Pedro Munos I think he feels to increase his striking output and just I don't know cuz it's it's difficult in in the bantamweight division because of how stacked it is and how much competition there is but Pedro munus is good he needs a big win though to keep himself in the rankings um and I just think he needs that momentum man he's not consistent enough it seems like the second he wins one he'll then go and lose and he just needs a big win he needs to go on a bit of a streak if he wants to stay I talked about name in the bantamweight division so for Pedro Munos he's a good guy really really tough and not easy to put out of there but he just isn't consistent enough for the bantamweight division then we've got Jonathan Martinez Jonathan Martinez is a perfect example of how competitive the bantamweight division is because you look at any other division like the heavyweight division you've got Nasi Mentor who's ranked Jonathan Martinez he's rank number 14th and he's so good like the amount of guys this guy shut down Adrian yanes I know he was coming off that lost to Rob font but he was still a prospect Jonathan Martinez finished him and absolutely batted his legs shut down the prospect of Sid magov as well Jonathan Martinez is really good he's beating Cub Swanson too he's really good he's a really good kickboxer his leg kicks are amazing um he's really tough as well as Jonathan Martinez and I know he's just lost to Jose Aldo but first of all that was that's Jose Aldo he's one of the greatest um and you know that's just a different that's just a thing of experience Aldo is much more experienced than Jonathan Martinez I think Martinez has potential to be in the top 10 I know he's a super competitive division but he's a really good Striker if he can improve his ground game just a little bit because Jose Aldo showed in that fight that his ground game does need to be worked on Jonathan Martinez can be a real problem for this division because like I said he's a really good kickboxer and I just think if he improves his ground game he got he's got a lot of potential and he wasn't getting batted in that Jose Aldo fight he had a lot of issues with the grappling and he was kind of Getting outboxed By Jose Aldo but like I said that is Jose Aldo he's one of the best in the world and has been for years so Jonathan Martinez he's really fun to watch as well it's never a boring fight he just destroys people with his leg kicks like he did with yanz he puts up a really competitive fight and he's not going to let a prospect come over and destroy him because I kind of view Jonathan Martinez is the prospect killer saw he's ranked number 14th but he's still one of the best in the world and he's just a perfect representative of how competitive the bantamweight division is the fact that you can beat yanz Nam magov and Swanson and only be ranked 14th just shows how competitive division is so Jonathan Martinez I think he's a really fun guy to watch Dominick Cruz again one of the similar to Jose Aldo one of the greatest this dude is yeah I'd say he's probably the greatest bantom of all time obviously he has had a big falloff but I still think he's the greatest bantamweight of all time just because of the people he's beaten Demetrius Johnson TJ Dillashaw Uriah fav twice when Dominick Cruz was in his prime he was Untouchable man this dude was honestly Untouchable on the feet obviously the fight with CI Garin is the big fight which we're going to talk about but he was Untouchable his head movement his awkward head head movement which seemed to work in every fight his great wrestling as well his ability his ability to just pick people apart and the fact that he was so hard to hit Cruz was so good in his prime man and he beat Pedro Muno not too long ago and to be fair he does have a lot of good wins on his name as well and you look at his FS recently I know it hasn't been perfect he lost to Cody gar he lost to Maran Vera but even in that Vera fight he was lowkey pieing up Maran Vera before he got obviously caught and then got kod basah hudo not that long ago as well so I do think he's on the other end of his career obviously um he's definitely not ever got title aspers again but I'd love to see him rematch somebody like Cody Garand or fight an unranked dude don't feed him to another Prospect don't feed him to a killer he's a legend I don't know if he's going to be coming back though because I know he's doing commentary and everything but he's kind of just sat in the rankings he hasn't really told us if he's going to retire he hasn't you know told us any plans if he wants to return so I really really don't know what's next for Dominick Cruz I think he's probably considering a one more fight before he retires but he just hasn't decided who yet so I'm hoping we see him soon because the longer he waits out the the you know the worse his performance is going to be when he comes back but he's a legend greatest bantamweight of all time um I just want to see this dude back against somebody like Cody Garin I just want to see at least one more Dominic Cruz performance before we done because I feel like you can't end off getting head kick KO by Maron verasa Cruz got of the bantamweight division Mario Bautista he's a really good Prospect in the bantamweight division he is a really good Prospect he's on a massive streak um and he's just a really good Grappler as well he's able to find submissions from everyone one thing I lack about Mario Bautista is the fact that he seems to be improving in every fight like I remember beforehand his striking wasn't the best he didn't really have the best striking well his striking definitely improved a lot recently his offensive boxing is much better he recently beat Ricky Simone which I guess is a win that has kind of I mean it's a good win but I mean Ricky Sone has been on a bit of a a tricky past few fights so I guess in hindsight he could have had better wins but he has lost to Cory sandhagen but that was all the way back in I think 2019 in his UFC debut and sandhagen is one of the best Bantam wiers in the world if Bautista can keep up the momentum that he's got going because he has a lot of it I think he has potential to break into the top 10 and beat you know some solid people I'd love to see him versus somebody like songy dong or just someone else in that top 10 because Bautista is really good he's a really good Grappler he seems to be improving his striking and he's one of those guys that you just want to pay attention to in the bantamweight division so for Mario Bautista I just want to see this dude fight again Kyler Phillips this dude honestly I picked Munos to beat Phillips which I kind of regret he looked really good against Pedro munz I will say it was a bit of a dirty fight I know there was a lot of IO going on early in that fight so it was quite dirty in the beginning but he had a really really fun fight with Pedro munz before which was good he's beaten s Yong which is a win that has aged really well considering the you know the place that s yong's in now if s Yong would have beaten pan he'd have been in title contention so he's beating s Yong which is a really good win and I feel like he's he's one of those guys in the bantamweight division whose rankings doesn't necessarily show how good he is I think Skyler Phillips is at least one of the top seven eight Bantam wits in the world I don't see how it makes sense the um Mana magov is ranked number 10th when he's not beating anybody in the rankings and kylo Phillips has beaten son Yong and destroyed and looked really good against Pedro Munos and he's ranked number 11th that doesn't really make sense for me but he's kind of a guy in the bantamweight division that nobody's really talking about but he's really good he's really fun to watch as well is KLA Phillips he had a really good fight with Munos and again like like another one of these Banting mats I just want to see this dude fight and I'm really intrigued to see how he would do in the division because he's beaten song I'd love to see how he does against somebody in the top 10 so again I'm I'm waiting on some KLA Phillips fight news I want to see this dude fight again and he impressed me a lot when he fought Pedro Munos then we have uman magedov now I know I City doesn't really deserved the number 10th ranking and I still stand by that I don't think he he deserves that number 10th ranking spot because he hasn't beaten anybody in the rankings he's got zero notable wins and his last win was to a de buttin by a decision against begat but with that being said I still think uman namag medov is the future of the Bandon weight Division and it's not just because he's got the namag medov last name but he's undefeated and he's such a good wrestler as namag medov he's definitely the top three best wrestlers in the division right now I'd say Mor's really good sanen shed is really good but namag medov has got such a Relentless grappling Pace his ground ground and pound he so good as well the fact that he's able to mix up his striking with his grappling as well I love how he uses his striking to set up the takedowns and he can crack as well this dude can crack on the feet he's koed people before and he he keeps people guessing on the feet which is why he's so dangerous and I think he has a really good chance of beating Cory sand and I still need to decide who I think he's going to win that fight because it's only in like two weeks but that's going to be a really competitive fight I think he's the future of the bantamweight Division I think his future top five potential and I really do think he's got potential to be a champion one day but we obviously we need to see how he does against sandhan so n magedov really bright future ahead of him one of the biggest prospects in the UFC right now and I just want to see him perform against Sanden man whenever he wins or he loses we're going to learn a lot about Nam magov in that fight then we have Rob font similar to Pedro Minos another super tough guy the amount of guys that he's fought and he hasn't been put out of there his chin has held up so many times when he fought sandhagen sandhagen you know short offensive grappling against Rob font and he was on short notice the F with Aldo the recent f with figero he got caught by so many Big Shots by figero was off was fine the F with munas the F with Vera he's a very very tough guy Rob font he is tough he can take a shot he can deal with damage and keep walking forward and even though he's done a bit of a a tricky past few FS he's definitely impressed me when he you know when he beat Cody Garber the recent fact when he well I say recent it was last year but when he completely fraud checked Adrian yanes and absolutely demolished him and sco him on the feet uh the Maron maras fight as well Ricky s more match Nell Rob font is a really good boxer he's a really good boxer in the division is his Rob font he's really tough as well and I think he definitely deserves that ranking spot again he is I don't know what's really next for F now because he he he does seem to be having a couple tricky performances he doesn't seem to be getting in the I keep saying momentum but he isn't really getting momentum I wonder how many times the video I've said momentum but no Rob Fun's really good man he's a really good boxer and I feel like the Adrian unit fight isn't going to be the LA isn't going to be the last time we see Rob fun hand out of fraudi good boxer tough as Nails um man yeah that's what I got to say about Rob font J aldor the greatest featherweight of all time but because this is the bantamweight ranking I'm going to be strictly talking about his bantamweight career Jose Aldo in bantamweight hasn't even done that bad like I feel like he's done really good in the bantamweight division um he lost to petan but petan at the time was one of the best no he was the best in the division and then he lost to morab but morab couldn't even land a single takedown on him and we know how good morab is these days and you look at his notable wins as well Maron verett a win at his age really well considering ver is just vought for the belt the Rob fun win the Pedro Muno win he's racked up some wins against so many ranked bantamweights and his last fight Jonathan Martinez he came back after like a two year later fought Jonathan Martinez and he looked amazing like he looked like he never even left he's boxing in that fight with so crisp he's grappling offense even though Aldo's up there in age he's getting old he just showed against Jonathan Martinez that he's still one of the best bantamweights in the world I don't know who he's going to be fighting next I don't know if I don't think he's definitely not got any fight news apparently he is going to be rumored though for UFC 307 I've heard that it could be Kyler Phillips which I don't understand why he would have go from Martinez to K kylo Phillips you'd think he'd maybe fight somebody higher ranked than that but he still got it man he's still got these performances going I think one or two more fights and he will be done but he's still a legend man he's a legend in the featherweight Division and even in the bantamweight division his experiences allowed him to get some wins over some really solid guys like Vera fun Muno Martinez and another couple of ranked wins and it's crazy to say this but he could be back in the title picture If Aldo can beat you know maybe one or two more more guys in the bantamweight division he might be getting a title shot so like imagine we had Aldo versus omali that would be crazy so he's just the guy that you want to root for an absolute Legend and unlike a lot of the Legends in the UFC normally when we talking about Legends we're talking about how they've fallen off Aldo hasn't fallen off this dude is still at the top so I just want to see this dude get some fight news I think he's going to be fighting on UFC 3 up 307 but we'll have to see Sony dong probably the power for pound well I I won't say power for pound hardest hitter in the division when this guy's like on my about but what I'm saying is song hits extremely hard a guy that you just want to watch man he's so powerful on the feet um he has lost to a couple of the guys at the top recently to to p to Yan like I said before Kyler Phillips and to sandhagen but sandhagen is one of the best in the world he's got some really good wins Molen ver who just fought for f for the belt Rick Simone Chris Gutierrez he hits really hard do s Yong and he comes to bang every single time I think there are some problems in his game I think his grappling could definitely improved a little bit ptan show in that fight that son yong's grappling definitely needs some work so I think if he works on his grappling defense that could definitely you know maybe push him in the division but he did look okay against Ricky Simon who's a very heavy Grappler as well um striking very very good striking he's very very powerful I think if he worked on that technique and that output and that gas tank just a little bit more I think he's got good potential he definitely deserves his place in this division hits very hard very powerful very fun to watch and it's just you can't not like s Yong man he's such a likable guy as well so for Sony dong this dude is just so fun to watch Davis and figuro I was always a bit kind of questionable not I don't know how to say I was always a bit wary of figuro when he was originally moving up to the bantamweight division but so far he's impressed me a lot I mean he was he's a former flyweight Champion who's moved up to the bantamweight Division and had two really good performances debuted in the bantamweight division against Rob font and absolutely destroyed Rob font for three rounds sure that he belongs in this Division and then at UFC 300 F CI Garin it was a very tentative first round but in that second round took him down show that he's got amazing Jiu-Jitsu and submitted him davidon figuro is a real problem for a lot of people in this Division I mean he's a former Champion but he's got very very powerful hands he was a hard-hitting dude in the flyweight division divion and that seems to have translated into the bantamweight division as well he's got Elite Brazilian jiujitsu some of the best Jiu-Jitsu in the bantamweight Division and I might actually pick him to beat Marin Vera I know that fights in like two weeks time I might genuinely pick him to beat Maron Vera because of how good figuro is um he's very very quick for this division as well he hits hard he's got good jiujitsu again another guy that you just want to root for and if he can beat Maron Vera figero is not far away from getting a title shot which is going to be crazy if we see figero versus somebody like oral former Champion versus a current champion and I do think the move to the Banton weight division was the correct move I did get kind of bored of seeing figero versus Moreno like when he got to the third and the fourth fight I was kind of just like me do we really have to see this again like I didn't really care who won the fight and it doesn't even matter anymore because Moreno is not even the champion so I'm glad that he moved to the bantamweight division it was the correct move and he's done really good so far so for Davis and figuro if he can go out there put on a good performance against Maron veru I just want to see this dude fight for the belt against do Al there's so many options for Al Ali now in the Bight division with the fighters that are up and coming so figero he's had a very successful move to the bantamweight Division and he's just a very solid fighter one of the best in the division already then we have Henry cejudo this dude made the worst mistake of his life by retiring back when he back in 20120 this dude retired in his prime he had KO Dominick Cruz he had beaten Maron maras he was at the P the prime the peak of his career he could have gone on to get multiple defenses in the Banton Division and really cement himself as one of the Great and this dude decided to retire this dude [ __ ] it all up by retiring and you could tell he regretted it because he came back got an immediate title shot against Alain sterling sterling beat him in that fight comfortably came back against morab and every single ounce of Legacy that Henry zudo has ever had got absolutely demolished the second that morab raised Henry zudo from the ground and then slammed him morab L broad Henry cejudo and that's usually what cejudo does to other people now in terms of what he does next he's mentioned going up to the the featherweight Division I completely disagree with that I don't think he should move to the featherweight division they are all huge so hudo tin it and he would get mold if he was to go to the featherweight Division I don't mind the idea of retirement he said he's going to retire after the morab fight but from what we've seen it doesn't seem like that's the case I don't really know what's next for him man I really don't I hope he fights somebody that that makes a lot of sense maybe like a Jose Aldo could make a lot of sense because you've got two legends and I'm match made them a couple days ago so for cejudo I just don't know what's next for the dude he really [ __ ] it all up by retiring too early but but he's still one of the greatest maybe not in this division but if you go back a couple of years ago that performance against Mar and Dominick Cruz was definitely impressive so zudo I just want to what see what this dude next I think he is very close to retirement maybe one or two more fights in he should be out of there then we've got Maron Vera I'm going to say he's a little bit overrated man I think Mand Vera is quite overrated and it showed when he fought sh no Ali at UFC 299 and got batted for five rounds straight I just don't understand why he got a title shot I mean you look at the amount of people he's lost to he's lost to song He got dominated by Cory sandan a few fights ago he got beaten comfortably by Jose Aldo and then recently when he fought Shauna Mali for the belt got destroyed and he has got some good wins he has beaten Pedro Munos but again that was a very it wasn't a very close fight but it was a fairly close fight and nothing significant happened in that fight he beat Rob font to a pulp fair enough KO old Dominic Cruz and he beat Frankie Edgar who's really old as well and he get I guess he technically beat Shao Mal he's a weird f as maren Vera he's never going to be a champion and to to be honest I do think that if I had to favor somebody between him and figuro I would probably go with figero there's just a lot of holes in his game he isn't the fastest starter he seems to be really good in that fourth and the fifth round it's kind of like a mythical fighter fifth round Mar and Vera but I think he needs to keep that fifth round and fourth round pace for the entirety of the fight because he starts way too slow and it cost him he causes him to get pieced up fairly early like he was losing to Cruz as well in that fight um he's grappling there's a lot of questions with his grappling as well after we saw how sandhagen easily dominated him he's a fun guy he's very dangerous with his head kakes and I think he is good at you know progressively getting better as the fight goes on he's insanely durable and he's one of the toughest dudes in this division the amount of shots this dude has tanked he's definitely got one of the best chins in the UFC I can't see him getting knocked out anytime soon but I just don't think he's Champion material that's what I got to say about M and Vera and I hope he does have a good fight with with Davis and figero I'm really intrigued to see how they're going to get matched up against each other then we got pan this dude was one the absolute one of the biggest killers in the UFC the way that people view Alex Pereira nowadays is how we viewed petan a couple of years ago he was that guy that win over Cory Sano which has aged really well the fight with Shong the fight with jaldo the the Finish over Uriah Faber he's an absolute killer he's just a quiet guy with really Elite kickboxing one of the best boxers in the UFC and his grappling really high level as well and I'm going to look look at the losses he's had his losses ain't even that bad the first fight with vain still in the DQ it was definitely going his way he beat Sterling the first time I don't care what anyone says he beat Sterling who went on to be a defending Champion for a while and then the second fight with stering was a very questionable decision I think a lot of people including myself could have given that to petan the fight with sha Ali the current current champion of the world again another very questionable decision gave sha noal his toughest test and he arguably won that fight and then fair enough he did get dominated by morab which is why I don't think he's ever going to become a champion again but he's a really good guy as PT I mean that recent win over son Yong as well showed that he's not washed and I think he's definitely got potential I don't know who he's going to be matched up against yet um yeah I don't know who he's going to be up against I hope he has some fight new soon and I do think he will get another title shot it's just there are some problems for this dude in the division I think him versus sanen rematch could be super competitive I think he's definitely got what it takes to beat om Al I think the only problem with this guy is somebody like morab I think if he was to ever fight morab again that would be a problem and I think like morab is the Crypt Knight of pan but Pan's still a killer man he's just a quite a guy that does out goes out there does business Ms people kills people um and I just think he's finally found that win that he needed and after going on a bit of a streak because he had a bit of a cursed into to his bantamweight reain yeah bantamweight reain so for ptan absolute killer in his prime and he seems to be picking that momentum back up then we have Corey sanan one of the best in the division I know people like to talk about sanen a lot but even with that being said he's still underrated the amount of people that are counting him out against uman and magav I might have to go with s to beat the mag middle like I said before I haven't actually chosen who I think is's going to win that fight but sandhagen is so good absolutely dominated Maron ver who for some like somehow got a title shot before him dominated Rob f with his grappling as well Beat song beat Bautista beat Marias that KO over Frank yeda was super impressive he should have beaten TJ Dillashaw that f with TJ Dillashaw should have gone in San against fa he had a competitive f with pan when Yan was at his best and he got choked out by stering not too long ago but seems to be proven all the time he's one of the best strikers in the division he's such a crafty Striker he seems to be really hard to hit and he just seems to be saw in the zone all the time and we've seen in his past few FS with verett and font that his grappling has improved a lot and I think out of everybody in this division he might be the biggest crypto night for sha noral because not only is he a massive threat on the feet he's also a massive threat when it comes to grappling like we know with Mali it seems like in all his title like his title fights it's always one way to go when he's fighting G still in a morab he has to defend against the grappling and keep it on the feet when he's fighting G like Vera he has to make sure he has a striking master class but with Cory sandhagen because he's you know he's dangerous from everywhere it's going to be so difficult for him to you know for for R Manley to figure out sanen but we're going to see how he does against uman magedov and I think he has a really good chance of being the first guy to defeat y magov because of how good Cory sanan is one of the best bantamweights in the world super dangerous and again he's just so many competitive fights that this guy's had apart from the Sterling finish it's he's never really been dominated in the octagon and I think if he wins his next fight 100% he deserves a title shot then we have morab devashi the guy who is going to be facing om Ali next the guy who's next in line This om Ali fight with him you know obviously morab and Ali is genuinely 50/50 I don't know who to pick he as of right now is the best wrestler in the division he's so good when it comes to wrestling Henry cejudo is one of the best wrestlers you know we've got this he's got this wrestling background he showed it throughout his UFC career he's a really good wrestler and morab made him look like an absolute amateur in that fight the fight with Jose Aldo okay maybe he couldn't take him down and it was a bit of a boring performance but he still beat Aldo comfortably the fight with Peter Yan Yan's a good wrestler as well as we've seen in that fight with s y dong we saw it in the orali fight and look what morab did to Yan put on an absolutely dominating performance The Comeback against Mari as well morab such a good wrestler and it's not just his wrestling it's his Pace the fact that he's shooting like 10 takedowns a minute he was must be an absolute nightmare to fight like morab must be an absolute nightmare to fight and that's why I'm so intrigued for this fight with sha Ali because he's a proper wrestler he's got a lot of momentum to his name right now again how many times am I going to [ __ ] say momentum in this video but he has got a lot of momentum he's a really good wrestler he he's grappling his Pace his cardio as well his stamina he's definitely got the ability to go five rounds as he show against ptan and even if he loses to sha Ali which is a big if I still think he's going to be at least top one top two of guys in the division I think he's definitely going to stay in that top free ranking for a while because he's just so difficult to beat and he must be an absolute nightmare to deal with and I can't wait for his title shot against shaal and then we have Mr shaali himself I'd say he's definitely well maybe not number one but definitely one of the most exciting Champions we've got right now in the UFC he's just so fun to watch maybe he's got a bit of a weird personality and maybe his press conferences aren't the best he is quite a dull personality when it comes to press conferences his fighting style is just so fun to watch he's never in a boring fight no matter what fight you look at he's never in a boring fight he's come up to the UFC he was just koing people left right and Center he had that fight with Marin ver in which he lost but that was an injury and then you look at his wins the tattle fight against aljamain stering knocked out Alain stering when stering was the defending Champion looked great in that fight beat Pani was an absolute War absolutely dominated Maron Vera landed some big shots of verett and the only reason he didn't finish him is because Vera's got one of the best CHS in the UFC and he's going to be taken on aab and if he does chin morab I'm not even going to be surprised he's definitely in the top 10 best strikers in the UFC right now he's so fluid he's such a good Striker to see he's just he's just so fun to watch like from his technique to his output to how dangerous he is to everything he does in the Octagon oh M's one of the funest guys in the UFC to watch as a fight as a fan and even if you don't like I said if you don't agree with his personality there's one thing for sure and it's that you're never going to miss a normal fight he's that guy he's one of the biggest STS in the UFC and for good reason he's fun to watch so for sh no Mali I just can't wait for his fat with morab it's one of the most 50/50 fats right now in the UFC and I just can't [ __ ] wait for it so such a fun guys Z Ali then finally the flyweight division we got Azu Alma this Flyweight dude is a really good Prospect in the flyweight Division and I don't know why nobody's really talking about him all the eyes are on taturo Tyra and tal and beckov but no one's really talking about Azu alab this dude's got a record of 20 and2 and so far in the UFC he kind of reminds me a bit of like a mini morab he's got this relentless rling pace and he's bullying these guys that are massive like he's fighting guys like Jose Johnson who are way bigger than him and he's absolutely Ragdoll in him he's a really good Prospect for the flyweight Division and considering that a lot of these ranked flyweights we're going to see you kind of on the end of it they're not on the end of their career but they've had a couple tricky fights in the past couple of fights I think Alma Bay have really has potential to get into that top 10 and he's a really good Grappler for this division we've got a lot of Strikers in this Division and I think Alma B have poses a big threat to a lot of them he's just a small guy in this already small division but he just ragdolls everyone really good Prospect he's looked really good in the UFC so far undefeated in the UFC and like I said I really do think he has potential to crack that top 10 Saw he's a fairly new face to the flyweight division but I'm really interested to see how he does get matched up against the top 10 maybe him versus a Tim Elliot it could be fun because we're going to see how he does against a guy like a like a veteran like Elliot so Alma BV really good Prospect kind of reminds me of like a mini morab and he's somebody that you need to look out for in the future of the flyweight division because he just has this Relentless grappling Pace that that he can just keep up for three rounds straight and I want to see how this dude would keep it up for five rounds obviously he's not going to be getting any main events anytime soon but in the future man if this guy can keep up a pace like that for five rounds we've got the morab dev asash for the flyweight division on our hands then we have Cody Duran Cody Duran's really good as a striker he's not bad at all he's really good at making reads and stuff but he's had a couple of tricky past few fights lost to G and beckov and recently just got koed by Bruno Silva It's a shame for codyy Duran he's going to be you know he's going to be looking back at this performance and he's going to hate himself because he did look really good against br Silva he was Landing some really good shots and I still think he's a really good flyweight but man this dude gets open to getting caught a lot he got caught quite a few times against ol beckov and obviously just got caught against Bruno Silva the other day um he's got some decent wins he shut down that well didn't shut down the prospect but he beat the prospect in Jake Hadley he's a really good boxer as well as Cody Duran very heavy on his front foot but he just gets caught way too often and this in the future is going to lead him to getting caught by a lot an all Flyway so I do think he deserves his ranking spot on number 14th but he's going to have to face an up andc coming Prospect that's unranked in in order to defend his position but he's a good boxer I just think for codyy Duran he needs to you know improve on that defense a little bit more if he wants to stay in the rankings because again he's having these good performances it's not a performance issue it's the fact that one time in the fight he'll just get caught by a big shot and that will be the end of it like the amount of shots that Bruno Silva landed on that dude is insane and I reckon he's going to be out for quite a while but Cody Duran he's a good flyweight to watch someone that you want to tune in to watch because he is a really good technical boxer on the feet then we have tagol and beckov really good Prospect for the flyweight division bit of a you know bit I don't know it's hard to say with Wan beckov because he's training with guys like khabib and he has shown that he's a really good wrestler so far but then when he's missing weight against guys like Joshua van that really frustrated me I really wanted to see him versus Joshua van because I know Joshua Van's just lost to Charles Johnson but at the time it was two of the biggest prospects in the flyweight division between him and Van going at it and I was actually intrigued to see how they perform against each other I thought it would be a really good Clash of styles and then he ended up missing weight and then the entire fight ended up getting canceled which was a shame so so I don't know what's next for ol beckov and he has lost to Tim Elliott when Tim Elliott just pieced him up but Tim Elliott is kind of like the Neil Magny of the flyweight division he likes shutting down these prospects almost did it to Mohamed makv but ol beckov is a good Grappler he beat Cody Doan and he's beat Bruno Silva those are some really good wins and he kind of relies on these heavy boxers uh that he gets these wins against he's a good Prospect for the flyweight Division I don't really know if I can say that he makes the top 10 just yet because again I need to see how he performs against someone that's actually Elite he has lost a Tim Elite before so maybe if we saw him like imagine him versus Alma BV that would be a really good grappling matchup he's a good Prospect to look out for in the flyweight division he's nothing crazy I wouldn't say he's the next big thing and I don't think he's ever going to become a champion because his performances haven't been absolutely groundbreaking but he's a good Grappler his standup seems to be improving he just needs to make sure that he can actually make 125 or else we're never going to be seen this dude fight then we've got Matt Schnell the codyy Garin of the flyweight division this dude has been koed by everyone the KO over panoa that fight with Steve IG was brutal as well because it wasn't just like Steve verc landed a really good shot on him Steve ver absolutely outboxed this dude for the majority of the fight Steve verc schooled him lost to Nicola lost to royval match's just not very good on the feet um he was once a good Striker he once had the fundamentals and I still think he does but he just can't take a big shot all it takes is one big shot or at least a couple of big shots for match Nell and he's been put out of there and it's not even like he's similar to AI Duran where he can just out Clash it for the majority of the fight and then it just takes a big shot to put him out of there because he's not got the best boxing skill I mean like I said Steve ERS was piecing him up same for Roy Val you feed him to any Elite striker in the division they're probably going to out strike him and then eventually land a big shot he seems like he kind of Fades as the fight goes on he's very very chinny and I would say he's quite a washed guy in the flyweight division still very skilled but if he gets koed one more time or loses one more time it wouldn't surprise me if the UFC kick this dude out the rankings again good boxer there's nothing bad I can really say about him he just needs to sharpen up his striking and specifically sharpen up his defense because if he gets caught by some more shot shots this dude is going to speed run to CTE because the amount of fly wits that is just boxing this guy's head off Nicola Roy Val EG the KO that panta landed his Chin's definitely not holding up in this division maybe he needs to move up to the bantamweight division because maybe the weight cut is too much for this dude but yeah we'll have to see for matchell definitely a really chinny guy in this Division and I don't really know what's next for him then we got Tim Elliot Yeah Tim Elliot Tim ell is a bit of a weird one because even though he's lost to so many people in this division Demetrius Johnson the go Davis ra one of the greatest Royal Benz askarov Dodson Nicola MV he's lost to so many people in this Division I still think he's pretty skilled and I think he's pretty game as well he's a really good Striker as Tim Elliott he's really good at piecing people up and he's good at handing out fraud checks as well he did it to tag Roland beckov when he thr checked him he almost beat Muhammad M I was going to say Muhammad makv if he beats manow cap this weekend he's going to be fighting for a belt and Elliot nearly beat M because he was absolutely pieing him up on the feet obviously the submission game got to him the best way to beat Tim Elliot is because it's you know grappling if you take this dude to the ground and look for submission that is your best opportunity but he's also a good wrestler it's not like he's just a one-dimensional guy but he's just really hard to beat on the feet he's very powerful as well as timia he's good at piecing people up he doesn't let a prospect up you know come up and you know just take away take away his Lim lamp he just does his thing and he's a really good guy toil it kind of reminds me of the Neo mag when you expect him to lose when you think he's done when he's on a bit of a losing streak and you think he's over and done with he's getting too old for the division he bounces back and gets a good win so is someone that you kind of want to root for not really any boring fights either he's fought everyone super experienced in this Division and he's probably got one of the best resumes in the flyweight division he is just fought straight Killers like I said Demetrius Johnson Davis and figero Joseph Benz John Dodson these are the guys that this guy's been facing he might have fallen short but he's got the experience and I think he's going to be handing out a lot of fraud checks in the future there's a lot of guys for him to fight he's I don't think he's ever going to you know progress into the top 10 and get further into the top 10 just because a lot of those guys have beaten him already but I think he's definitely got potential to fraud check people so Tim Tim definitely got a lot of potential in this division Matas Nicola yeah Matas nicol's a bit of a weird one because he's a really good Striker as Nicola like I think he's one of the best strikers in this Division and I do think his ranking spot kind of makes you think he's a lot worse than he is but again I feel like he's very C like easy to calculate Perez perfectly calculated because Nicola's really good at making reads he's really good at you know Landing certain shots but Perez was able to back him up against de cage with the better game plan land that big shot man me of ilite toore and volcanos so I think Nicola just need to needs to disallow his opponents to make these reads and you know set up these big shots Roy Val out struck him as well but again Roy Val's one of the best in the UFC but he's got some really good wins under his name manell cap matchell Tim Elliot David Dvorak he's definitely one of the most elite strikes in this Division I just think he needs to there's a couple things he needs to sort out because he he's on a two fat losion streak now he was once a really big Prospect in the division and he's kind of fallen off recently so I think he needs that one win that's kind of going to bouncing back into the winning column I've also noticed why does Nicola he kind of looks like one of those NPCs on like a low quality video game I don't know I can't really describe it he looks like a GTA 4 kind of NPC if you know what I mean but anyway no Nicola good Striker just needs some momentum to get back in there then we've got Steve EG one of the fighters in this division that ranking definitely doesn't display how good he actually is he shouldn't be number nine he should be in the top three if I'm going to say I mean out of every flyweight this dude has had one of the best performances against Pantoja I mean just look at the guys this dude is beating I mean I mean not even just the guys he's beating but look at the way he performed against panta you look at how everyone performs against panta I know he he close fights quite regularly but Steve vers was definitely the closest this dude arguably beat panto in what his fourth fight in the UFC his grappling is really amazing he has really underrated grappling people just think he's a onedimensional boxer they don't realize that this dude had a background in wrestling as well and obviously we all know him for having this really good boxing as well the way that he just pieced up and KO matchell that massive elbow he landed on panta the fight with K where just outg grappled him the fight with David Dvorak he's one of the best boxers in the division but he's also super well-rounded and I think he is going to beat Kar France at UFC 305 and I can almost guarantee he's definitely going to be fighting for a belt in the future again it doesn't really make sense why he's ranked number 9th after that performance against alejandre panta I know he lost but if he wouldn't have shot for that takedown in Pantoja well against panta in round five he could have arguably won that fight so for Steve EG definitely one of the best dudes in this division potentially a future champion and I do think he's top three best talents in this division right now someone that I just can't wait to see and he's such a good personality as well he's such a likable guy in this division he's humble um he's just an interesting personality he's a fun guy to watch and he just goes out there and does business and performs every single time and I can't wait for him versus Kow France that's going to be an absolute War for UFC 305 so for Steve egg definitely one of the best in this Division and I think his ranking spot doesn't really show how good he is then we've got manell cap probably the most interesting personality in this Division and I'm glad that we have guys like Manel cap in this division because we don't just want the same stale personalities over and over again like it's always good having these nice humble guys but we need someone that's going to stir the pot in the division and Manel cap is that guy the way that he just starting fast with I still remember that press conference he had with Israel Lanna where a flyweight Manel cap was squaring up to a a middleweight Israel at that press conference I think he slapped Mohamed Makai IRL I don't know if he's going to beat the press conference for UFC 3 or four because I think they've put him in Mak on the prelims which is a shame because he would made that press conference so much better but he's just a really fun guy is Manel cap he's a really good personality he's had a couple of losses he lost at the champion panoa and Nicola he's just really well rounded his Mel cap and I think he's got some really dangerous boxing as he showed in his last fight um and I'm really I think him versus Mohammad Makai is going to be a scrap I am leaning towards makv winning that fight but if Manel cap wins he's probably going to get a title shot because most of the other fly WS have been cleared out by panto I know Manel cap has lost but he's put together some good Rec wins recently if he can shut down the prospect to MV M Manel cat versus panoa S me up so he's one win away I'd say from a ttle shot really good personality in this Division and he's just a guy that you want to see fight because he's one of those guys that just produces moments in every fight or every everywhere this dude goes he produces moments he's like a highlight reel that's walking so Manel cap cauwe to him against Mohamad makv then we have Alex Perez you get Alex Perez is a really weird one he might be one of the most cursed flyweights in the world the amount of fights that this guys have to well I know it's not all his fault but the amount of G like fights this dude has ended up getting canceled in there's so much if you look at his topology record there's like 14 fights that Alex Press has been cancelled from um it's a bit of a shame as well he has lost to a lot of the guys at the top as well he's lost to Davidson fero and Pantoja um obviously got beaten by tatra recently but it was an injury but he seemed like he was losing that fight anyway lost to mahamed MV but he didn't even perform that bad against muhamad makave again he didn't look that bad maybe when when these guys like Perez and Tim Elliot aren't looking good aren't looking bad against MV maybe they're that go or maybe Mohamed Makai just isn't as good as we all thought he was lost to Benz as well so he's only really lost to the most elite talent in the flyweight division but he's got some good wins that shot that he perfectly Ted against Matas Nicola recently like I said Matas Nicola is a really good Striker so the fact that he was not he was just able to you know just calculate Nicola against the cage and just KO him that way similar to torei versus vovi was really good he's very experienced he's Alex Perez he's a really sharp dude in the flyweight Division and he's just not an easy guy to put out of there as well so I don't really know what's next for this dude he's hard to kind of get on board with Perez when all of his fights get canceled or he loses not really one of the most interesting guys to watch in the division in terms of hype but we'll see what he does next maybe he's in another Fight Night Main Event I don't know what's next for Alex PR but we'll have to see then we've got Mohamed makv one of the best prospects in the UFC right now I've been following this dude since his UFC debut I remember the day he he debuted in the UFC I think it was on the Aspen Now versus vov card and he went out there and I think it was codyy Duran in his debut who's now A ranked opponent and muhamad makv he's got a lot of underrated wins it seems like whenever muhamad makv gets a win it ages really well he beat Cody Duran he's now a ranked opponent he beat Charles Johnson he's now one of the biggest prospects in the flyweight division he beat felo filo's now destroying everyone he beat Tim ell he beat Perez and they came off winds after the fight with makv it seems like whenever muhamad makv gets a win it it ages really well because all of his opponents look really good so he's already got a really good resume in the flyweight division he's already beaten a lot of ranked dudes and I think if he does beat M Manel cap this weekend in which I do think he will give him a title shot man I think he should have arguably deserved the title shot instead of Steve ver at UFC 301 I know obviously now that we see Steve verc perform we might be looking at that differently but this dude already had a good resume coming into that if he can get Manel cap on his resume as well it's going to be hard to deny mhammed MAV as a title shot he's never lost as an amateur he's never lost as a professional he's a really good Grappler as mhammed MAV he's got this kind of grappling pass I would like to see a little bit more from his striking I know he dropped codyy doen with a big shot in his debut but it seems like like whenever there's a strike in exchange he kind of struggles but he's tough it seems like every single time he faces adversity as well in the beginning of the fight he always bounces back and gets a finish or at least gets the win so muhamed MV CAU see perform against um Manel cap and I think he is going to be one of the top guys in this Division I think he just needs to start out with striking be a little bit more confident get that experience and he has real good potential for this division then we have taturo Tyra this dude I'm going to say it I think he's probably the most dynamic Grappler in this division we've got a lot of Grapplers in this division I said tagir Lov muhamed MV Alejandra panta but T surro Tyra that fight with Perez this dude looked insane he's also another undefeated guy in the flyweight division he just looks really good I know that Perez fight and then had an injury but the way that he was able to just you know just make Perez just look like a complete amateur when it came to grappling the the exchanges that Tara was having the submission attempts that he had the way that he was just able to completely dominate Perez with grappling it's not only Perez it's his entire UFC career the fact that we've also seen a big improvement from his boxing as well he's not just onedimensional we've seen a massive improvement with this dude's boxing his hands have become so much better as well he's someone that I just can't wait to see and he's another big Prospect similar to muhamad Makai manell cap if tatara gets one more win and it's probably going to be against one of the big guys as well because he's ranked number five you can only imagine that he's probably going to be fighting somebody like Roy valal or Moreno next if he gets one more win he's probably going to get a title shot and you know what signed me up for that tat Ro Tyra he's undefeated he's got really good boxing but most importantly he's the best submission I would say he's the best submission artist but he's got some of the best grappling in this division um and he's only fought Perez in the ranked area so I just call wait to see what Tyra does next he's one of the fly wits that I just have a lot of interest in I'm bought on the hype of taturo Tyra it'll be good to see him versus m or something like that but yeah I just can't wait to see Tyra fight then we have Kai car France Kai car France is a bit of a weird one he's a really dangerous guy and he's just the guy that comes to bring it every single time again I can't wait to see him versus Steve ver at UFC 305 um he has lost to a lot of the top guys he's lost to Brandon Moreno twice with the most recent one being to the interim belt he's lost to Brandon Royal who's again rank number one in the division he's one of the best he lost to air albazi which is a win that kind of aged well because Amir albazi I mean he hasn't fought since this but that was a very very close fight most MMA fans would have argued that Kow France actually won that fight and had he won that fight he may have been getting a title shot he seems to do really good against defensive Grapplers as he show that against ascar asov as well asov was one of the best man asov at the time was like one of the best prospects people were saying that he's going to be the next champion of the division Kai cow France was able to shut that dude completely down and beat him obviously got the viral KO of codyy gar when gar moved down to 125 as well and I think he he's kind of like a good highlight real dude I think's he not going to be the last time we see this dude get a good KO I think he deserves his ranking spot do I think he's going to beat Steve verc no I do think Steve verc beats him but I think he's still one of the best in the division he's got really quick boxing he's already fought a lot of the top guys already he seems to do well against Grapplers he's a really good anti-ra anti- wrestler for the division as well so for Kaio France I think he's going to hand a out hand out a lot of fraud checks I think there's going to be so many fun facts that this dude has and he's just going to be one of those guys that you can rely on to have a fun fight in the flyweight division then we have Amir albazi um it's hard to get on the hype train of Amir albazi he beat alesandro Costa and he beat car car France but I don't think he should have beaten car France that was a very very close fight and then he pulled out against Brandon Morena when we supposed to fight him early this year and he's kind of just been silent ever since he's been talking a little bit on Twitter but he hasn't got a fight I don't know what's next for this dude I don't think he deserves the number three ranking spot he barely beat Kaio of France I mean he shouldn't have beaten Kaa Fran and apart from that he's only beating Al Alexandro Costa he's got good boxing and his wrestling's really good as well he's good at latching up submissions and he's good at getting to those submission attempts but I think he just needs to get a win to shut everyone up if everyone's hating on this dude if everyone disrespects this dude it's for a good reason if you don't want people to disrespect you and drag your D down you've got to do something about it and to do that you've got to get a good win we need to see beat somebody like Moreno who was originally scheduled to face Maybe him versus Brandon royval could be a good number one Contender fight I think he is only probably one fight away from a title shot as well consider he is ranked number three um so we'll have to see about a albazi it's hard to get on the hype trim when there's so many prospects in in this Division I don't think he's the best Grappler I don't think he's the best Striker I I wouldn't favor him to beat panto I don't think he's a future Champion but we're going to have to see how his career plays out it's hard to talk about albazi when he's not fighting we need to see him fight I think he's been like way over a year since his last fight as well so we just need to see this dude get some fat news Brandon Moreno Brandon Moreno one of the most likable dudes in this division probably the most interesting title running the flyweight division as well at least recently I mean pantos is a good Champion but when Moreno was a champion this dude just brought the life to the flyweight division had some really good wins beat Davis and figero twice which has aged really well because Figaro's looked great in the bantamweight Division and figuro has always been one of the the greatest fly wits as well that's a win that has aged really well the win over Brandon Roy Val the two wins over kakaa France he's beaten a lot of the top guys and he's definitely one of the best in the division and I'm not going to say the the loss that he just had to Brandon royval was a fluke or anything like that because royval did win that comfortably even though it was a close fight um I just think I still think he can get that win back I think if him versus Royal was a Trilogy it's a coin flip he has lost to panta three times though so that's why I don't think he's going to be a future Champion unless panta loses his belt and Moreno gets another shot I I wouldn't ever favor him to beat panta again Pantoja does seem like he's Krypto Knight and he has lost to figure he's lost to Sergio ped as well and Royal so we'll have to see what's next for Brandon Moreno I can't really see what's next for him I don't know we'll have to see but he's just a fun guy I'd say he's probably the quickest flyweight in the world as well he's super quick he's Brandon Moren or super fast or we'll have to see um but yeah someone that you just want to root for in the division and Brandon roal one of the best in this division this dude is just so fluid with his striking he's able to go five rounds he's so quick with his hands he might not be the most power full puncher in the division but I'd say he's probably got the most fluid strike in he's got this really light boxing and he just pieces everyone up he's got really good boxing his ju-jitsu is underrated as well he Jiu-Jitsu defense his submission defense and he's just fought a lot of the top guys and he's only like one win away from another title shot I know he has just lost to Alejandra panto at UFC 296 but he got that really good win over Brandon Moreno and which let's be honest the UFC matched him up against Moreno because they thought Moreno was going to win if he can get another win he's probably straight back into that title picture he's beating kako France Nicola match Tim Elliott that recent really good win of Brandon Moreno and I think he does deserve that number one ranking in the division I think he's going to be one of these guys that just clear out of the majority of division similar to how we had like volkanovski is the defending champion and Hollow was the number one guy I feel like Roy Val will do a really good job at being that number one guy again he's lost to panta twice I don't think he would beat panta and he he's one-onone against Moreno but we'll have to see for the future of Brandon roal we'll have to see what goes down but he's a really good he's a really good uh Striker as BR roal I'd say he's arguably the best striker in this division right now because of just how fluid his striking is so yeah we'll have to see for Brandon roal and then the champion Alejandra Pantoja he gets a lot of disrespect do aleandra alejandre can't say his name alejandre panto gets a lot of disrespect but this dude has cleared out the division he's beating Brandon Moreno three times Brandon royval the number one dude twice Alex Perez manell cap Steve IG machell look at the amount of names this dude is beating he's genuinely cleared out the division like I know they've not all been title fights but he's genuinely just just like de demolished this division he has lost a couple of the top guys Davison figero who's one of the best Ascot askarov who was one of the best prospects at the time but again it seems like he does struggle against these heavy Grapplers so that's why I'm interested to see how he do against a Tyra or a MV but against the rest of the division nobody can seem to figure this dude out he's a very Scrappy type of style I do think he makes these fights a lot closer than it should be I think he has the fundamentals and the skills to win a lot more dominantly but he seems to engage in a dog fight every single time but it seems to be working he's getting the wins he's very very powerful his pant he's not one of the best strikers in the division he's very sloppy and kind of you know not the most technical but he is very powerful he's got really good grappling one of the best Grapplers in this division really good Jiu-Jitsu as well and he's how run so far people are disrespecting him but nobody can take the belt away from him I think he'd beat a guy like MV and I just don't really see anyone really taking the belt away from panoa maybe somebody like I said like um a Steve Ur if they were to have a rematch or maybe a tatur or Tyra but apart from that it seems like he here to stay he's cleared out the division he's definitely the best flyweight in the world right now and I think he should be much higher on the pound-for-pound list as well I don't know how Draco du C who hasn't even got a single defense and he's only beating like what two ranked middleweights it's above panto on the on the P for pan list in my opinion that don't make sense but he's definitely the best flyweight in the world and even though he might not be the most interesting even though he might not be the guy you want to root for he's a to St
