I hope he gets pounded by Yan Apparently he's coming back at 145, or wants to at least. Incredibly easy to see that his motivation is to be the first 3 division champ- even if he doesn't admit it. It's not impossible, and there will be 100% a 3 division champ at some point. Just extremely doubtful that it'll be 35+ year old Henry Cejudo.

I think it's a win win for him though. His legacy is in no way hurt by a loss at 145 and by moving up he gets to avoid Petr... Win Win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that he can do it...but I think it would be INCREDIBLY difficult for anyone to do it and he already has 2 of the 3 needed whereas most others cant say that. Realistically who could get 3 belts? No one at HW, anyone at LHW cant make MW and then win at HW Love him or hate him, I think he'd be my #1 candidate to take home 3 belts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it would take is a younger fighter with a dominant trait and strong physical attributes growing into their frame over the years and getting the right opportunity. I mean look at prime Conor. Flatlined two champs with almost 0 difficulty. All it would've taken for 3 belts at the time was him choosing Woodley/Lawler over Mayweather, and capitalizing if/when Tyron/Lawler stood with him. Then you had a guy like GSP. He's said multiple times that he could get down to 155, and I don't think anyone would doubt his ability to win a championship down there. Obviously he dominated 170, and then cherry picked the 185 belt off a weak champion. That's the kind of opportunity that will present itself over time though. Fat azzes like Cormier and Fedor could've gotten skinny then climbed back up. Plus there's always the likely scenario that extra weight classes emerge. 165, 225, etc etc. That's one of the main reasons I think it will happen. IDK, I really don't view it as some impossible task. Looking back over history there's a lot guys imo who had the potential/ability to be 3 weight champs. Aldo, Jones, GSP, McGregor, Silva, Penn, etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSP at 155 seems like a stretch, not sure how he’d get there safely if several weight classes emerge then it becomes much easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got the size to do it at 170, 185 and 205. He won't but he's the type of build and style that could make it happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could see it happen if he faced a pure striker at 205 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullsandBroncos Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) Rumors of Stipe vs Jon. Don't like that all for Stipe. Feel like if Jon whoops him he may retire. He is like 39. Most underrated and underappreciated HW champ of all time but then again also the most inactive Edited February 6, 2022 by BullsandBroncos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullsandBroncos Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Don't know if anyone watched tonight but Bryan Battle beat Tresean Gore, both from TUF. Bryan leaves no doubt of being the season winner. 3 minutes of control time and out struck gore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverNBlackFan Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Was funny watching Strickland get all buck the last 15 seconds of a fight he was just coasting for the most part. He's pretty good, but his whole persona of kill or be killed, trade with reckless abandon is fake lol. Dude is a measured technician with good boxing skills. Good defensive fighter. Kind of a boring watch. He doesn't deserve a TS imo, I would like to see him fight Vettori or Costa next if Paulo is still a MW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
