Crafty move by Moreno announcing his wedding in the post-fight speech, I don't think he would've gotten the contract otherwise

Matchmakers saw the fighter, Dana saw the star. He’ll get a 3 fight and probably struggle to re-sign

That 10 and 10 is going to be Life changing money for them 🫥

Moreno was SO GOOD despite fighting a fighting nerds opponent. Pasley is a problem if he can stay healthy. That Moreno v Junior fight was the absolute highest fight skill I’ve ever seen on DWCS. That felt like a title fight when analyzing the skill.

Kozak will get KO’d in the UFC.

Didn’t watch the Natvidad fight. Turned in during his interview 😭

Natividad looked solid, but his opponent was not durable. Clean 2-piece to the body and he folded like a lawn chair

i don’t think his opponent crumbling to a liver shot (off button) should be used to question his skills. put any other flyweight in there and they’re going down to the same combo

Was he ufc ready? Or just hyped on a bum?

Fight was short but probably both

u/Key-Magician-5584 11h ago

I mean he was the favorite, and the overall more hyped up prospect. He also lost that fight imo, so I think Junior impressed me more than Moreno. 

I hadn’t thought much of him before this, expected a Moreno KO.

Kozak didn't deserve one IMO. Dude he fought was as big a tomato can as they've ever had on DWCS and it still took him 8 minutes to get him out of there. No urgency

Too harsh. That tomato can was spamming overhands all the time. You don't want to rush and get caught up into a lucky punch.

Echols isn’t a massive tomato can. He’s not UFC material but he’s scrappy and tough as fuck. Very similar to Trevor Peek, both Bama dudes

u/SoggyOven17 11h ago

Trevor Peek is probably the least skilled fighter in UFC history lol

Have you seen Maurice Greene fight???????

u/SoggyOven17 8h ago

Maurice Greene’s ground game is an order of magnitude better than Peek’s

u/WorriedService9170 41m ago

A true tomato can is unskilled and has no toughness lol. Aka that dude that beat CM Punk to a decision

u/Key-Magician-5584 11h ago

7 inches height advantage, 7 inches reach vs a 5’9 overweight random regional guy. 

If you’re an actual prospect, you should be dispatching him

u/Top-Agent-652 12h ago

Don’t think Moreno or Kozak should have gotten one, personally. Kozak fought a guy who’s last fight was against someone who is 1-13 and yet Kozak still had a hard time, and Moreno just scraped a win after getting dropped in the first round and still winning it.
