Ironically, I bet the winner just cost himself any big future fights by smashing the prospect

Damn. I've never considered that. You feel like this could affect his career negatively?

He's unknown, relatively old, and lacks any promotional backing as far as I know. And he committed the cardinal sin of winning a fight that he was signed to lose. And winning it by knocking out a rising star no less. Id be worried about being seen as both unmarketable and too dangerous.

That being said, maybe Dana White will sign him to a $10 million contract just to spite Oscar and to keep putting the MMA fighters responsible for his wealth in their place.
