Matchmaking The UFC Bantamweight Division (September 2024)

[@bilalneamatullah973]

Song ya dong is still only 26 years old. If he improves his skills and chains a winning streak he can for sure fight for the title.

[@BlackmanKsi]

It's actually so crazy how young he still is. He's been in the ufc for so long lmao

[@cobefriend7797]

Really all he needs to do is make sure to protect his chin so he doesn’t have AB level CTE by 30. He has so much time to improve and get more skills!

[@GeneralRection1997]

@@cobefriend7797dude legit could fight as much as Paulo costa and I wouldn’t be mad. Seeing how most of these strikers turn out I don’t question them taking breaks lol

[@OK-yy6qz]

​@@BlackmanKsi tbh the Crazy part is how old Average UFC athletes are. Like in almost every other Sport/Pro League the Average age is probably like 26-27. I think in UFC it's probably around 31-32. Which is also crazy cause you're considered Old by 35.

[@jjizzler9592]

nah

[@TypicalPlata]

I feel like Figgy should get the title shot 3-0 in BW, he’s looked great, former champion, great power

[@KamvaNtontela-rj2mo]

Yeah but I really wanna see Umar vs Merab more.

[@oppenheimer2822]

Poatard got title shot after a robbery win over Jan 😂 while Sterling and Figy have to clear the whole division even tho both figgy and Sterling had title defenses while Poatard got koed in his first title defense

[@AndrewzYT07]

I think that an O’Malley Petr yan rematch would be really good based off how close the first fight was and how some people would say it’s a robbery.

[@abdlrahmanmohamed2815]

sean vs yan 2 would be a good matchup controversial first fight and we could see who is truly better if its a 5 rounder

[@julianschmidt7176]

I hope figureido gets the title shot. Umar pulled out of most fights and didn’t fight a single ranked opponent until Sandhagen. Figureido fought everyone, is a former champ and so much more exciting and deserving

[@MysticalDoBronx]

I might be in the minority but I think figgy is a more dangerous fight and it adds way more to merab legacy beating 5 f-champions in a row

[@clkgtr12]

womp womp umar is gonna be the next reigning champ

[@clkgtr12]

figgy was struggling with punching bag chito, while umar outstruck and beat cory, that alone is more impressive than what figgy did

[@clkgtr12]

i'll dumb it down for you, he has no ranked wins because no one wants to fight him, even the champ is ducking him what do you think the rest of the division wanna fight him?

[@AS-bc8fg]

​​@@MysticalDoBronx I agree merab's takedown heavy approach has two main counters , one is the big shot that sean was supposed to land but merab showed that he's good enough to not get hit 2nd is a submission from the bottom/in a sprawl , which was the only way merab was (almost) finished Umar has the sub but not the power Figgy actually has both I hope he gets through Petr and gets the BW strap as well

Cejudo vs Aldo we need that.

[@JowlTalks]

He’s definitely ducking umar

[@DADRB0B55]

You can’t duck someone who is a pullout merchant.

[@niyazahmed3448]

​@DADRB0B55 that argument only applies when the person has already pulled out against the other person, you don't know for certain that umar will pull out against merab and merab doesn't know that either, so if he actively avoids umar before any of that then thats basically ducking.

[@nikajaliashvili1346]

jump from umars meat lil bro

[@SpidaMMA]

tbh if cory and sean were to fight i think cory would win as cory is just the more well rounded fighter and has done better with grapplers and wrestling in general tho i think sean has the better striking cory just provides problems no matter where the fight goes would be one of the best fights the division has seen in my opinion

[@evilryutaropro]

I guarantee O’Malley Vs Sandhagen is gonna be a snooze fest, both just switching stances and feinting at range

[@keyurbandodkar]

Debyuting?

[@cesare4926]

Call me crazy but I don't think someone who has 1 ranked win deserves a title shot over a former champion and who has 3 ranked wins in the current division. Figgy is way more deserving

[@rtz-mv7ko]

Just like for example evloev and ankalaev are under appreciated, thats how umar will get his title shot over figgy. These two are unpopular but umar has his surname and it will be much more of big fight to sell with nurmagomedov instead of figgy on card. Even tho I think Umar would beat figgy if they fought now

[@cruzx9984]

That is a very nice match making…👌

[@hatemelboory7270]

[@shrekonion7032]

Unfair how people say Umar will win when he had a close fight with sandhagen when Merab dominated O’Malley

[@clkgtr12]

sandhagen has better tdd than o'malley, you think umar can't do what merab did?

[@OK-yy6qz]

​@@clkgtr12 probably no until proven otherwise at least.

[@clkgtr12]

​@@OK-yy6qzthere's more evidence of him being able to do it than not do it

[@OK-yy6qz]

@@clkgtr12 there's way more Evidence on Merab being able to dominate Umar than Merab not being able to Dominate Umar. Umar has 1 Good fight. And he frankly didn't look that impressive in it. In theory he's the easiest Opponent Merab had in years. At least in terms of Resume he doesn't Stack up to Yan, Cejudo or Sean. On the Other hand Merab is by far the Hardest opponent Umar has faced. Of course it's a fight and especially with a guy like Umar that has basically just entered the UFC elite you can never predict the outcome.

[@clkgtr12]

​@@OK-yy6qzno because umar is a better striker, he will land more and hurt merab and merab can't do that, cory is the proof, also merab can't take umar down and even if he does umar will get up or get a sub, he has more submission threat than merab who just hugs and knee's the legs, and umar can take him and anyone down, he can even control him if he can't find the sub easily
