This is a button where you can subscribe to this page. Thank you in advance or if you’ve already done so! Morning! A reminder that The MMA Hour is off today due to labor day here in America. I’m sorry for leaving you hanging. Have no fear, though, we’ll be back on Wednesday with a very fun show.
1) Brunson against Cannonier to fight the winner of Izzy/Rob
2) Till needs to go to ATT to improve, or move down to WW. Till is the 3rd best striker in MW, not the 3rd best MMA fighter in there as he said to Matt Serra. I think he needs a big change. Hopefully he can improve
Derrick Brunson vs. Cannonier (a rematch against Whittaker would be very intriguing, but Rob has already earned his title shot)
Darren Till vs. GM3. Meerschaert is on a nice win streak, and for Darren I think a big step down in competition is needed. Let him get on a win streak and build himself back up.
Paddy Pimblett vs. Julian Erosa II. Nice little storyline, exciting matchup and very winnable for Paddy to keep the momentum rolling.
1)Cannonier is definitely the next fight for Brunson. Makes sense for both guys, it can easily be a title eliminator to face winner of Izzy X Bobby Knuckles 2
2) Till needs a favorable matchup and to not fight a top 5 MW right now. Considering Shahbazyan is booked for MSG, Till can be matched up against Uriah or even rebook the Hermansson fight. Jack is a wizard on the ground but he won’t have as easy of a time getting Darren down as Brunson did. Jack is also willing to throw down on the feet so it would be a fun fight.
3) Paddy had a great debut, especially for the hype and anticipation surrounding it. He did take some early shots from Luigi, so I don’t think stepping up to fight a technical striker would be a good option, at least not one with one shot KO power. The UFC should continue to build him fairly slow, not at a Sean O’Malley pace but don’t throw Paddy to the wolves just yet. Two fun matchups for Paddy would be John Makdessi or Matt Frevola. It doesn’t look like he’ll be blowing the gaff off the Echo Arena anytime soon so he should be booked on an upcoming PPV card with fans in attendance.
I really enjoyed both the Preview and Post-Fight Ringer podcasts. The Helwani content is really getting pumped out for us and we all appreciate it. Keep up the great work Ariel!
1) Cannonier
2) Anyone that’s not a wrestler. Maybe Kevin Holland or Uriah Hall.
3) Clay Guida or Alex Hernandez.
1) Brunson/Cannonier for title after Izzy and Rob.
2) Mike Perry - why not?
3) Jai Herbert - Uk fighter on a 2 fight losing streak with a similar skillset
1) wait for the Izzy fight. 5 fight win streak don’t be the next Leon edwards of MW
2) Sean strickland ( till and strickland will sell the hell out of this fight strickland is a psycho
3)Jim Miller,Jeremy Stephens, Michael Johnson.
1) Brunson against Cannonier to fight the winner of Izzy/Rob
2) Till needs to go to ATT to improve, or move down to WW. Till is the 3rd best striker in MW, not the 3rd best MMA fighter in there as he said to Matt Serra. I think he needs a big change. Hopefully he can improve

Derrick Brunson vs. Cannonier (a rematch against Whittaker would be very intriguing, but Rob has already earned his title shot)
