Chito, you’re a real one for saying you’d ask for Sandhagen.

[@buttstuff3008]

It should already be corey fighting for the belt not chito. Rankings dont even matter at this point.

[@dynamic283]

It’s depressing that we haven’t seen a single interview with the Schmo and Sean Strickland while he’s champion. I hope Sean wins next weekend to give the Schmo more of a chance to do that!

[@ozylocz4078]

Honestly it really sucks because I feel like a lot of the work that schmo has done and to an extent helwanis work is being undermined by some skank the ufc is really tryna push for some reason.

[@backabeyond]

@@ozylocz4078 They aren't being undermined. The UFC doesn't determine who the fighters talk to. There is room for all of them. Helwani does really well for himself and he isn't even allowed in the door. Any failures of Helen and Schmo are their own. Just look at Helen's channel. It's obvious she puts very little effort into it.

Go home you mean? if it wasn't for that injury he would have lost and was being picked apart from O'Malley. Chito is a weight bully but is average, either he connect a good punch or he's already lost!

@@snarfjohnson2262 hahaha. Ever heard the statement….that “assuming” makes an ass of u? Cuz you’re assuming what I know. And what I know, directly from his wife’s accounts. That they are a polyamorous couple. Which means they have sex with whomever they choose while being married. The vows taking in marriage, do not mention banging other people. And it shows his morals when it comes to his supposed “significant other” and the “wife, and mother of his child”. Tell me your wife bangs everyone and you’re ok with that? Doesn’t matter his profession or status….its just low morality period. I’ll assume you haven’t heard that.

[@benmcreynolds8581]

I like Chito. There is so much talent at bantamweight right now. Regardless of this outcome, i will continue to enjoy watching either of these guys compete. IMO Cory should have gotten the title shot but since everyone was injured, it worked out perfectly for Chito. So let's do this. I'm hyped to see a ton of fights at this division! This UFC 299 card is such an amazing event. Top to bottom filled with exciting, excellently matched up fights that us MMA fans should love watching. (BTW don't let PPV buys measure a event anymore these days. It's just not a accurate way to measure if a event was successful anymore. PPV worked back in the day, but not nowadays. Regardless of that # this is going to be a awesome event)

Injuries suck. Timing is everything & thx to timing & story line, chito gets a shot at the belt he wouldn't have gotten having to fight the top few guys. Still a beast tho. Its just that the styles & skill sets of the top few can nullify his game. It'll b a fun fight & I'm at least grateful for that. Plus its kinda fun when timing lets a lower ranked guy get a shot. Makes for a good story & chance of a life time. Look at Strickland
