Yes and there it is Dana White doesn't care for Thiago Santos anymore, while Tony Ferguson is living the dream of still staying despite his 5 consecutive losses now, he will not get any privilege like that, while Santos really has a chance in the PFL in my opinion and who knows his experience in the UFC paid off, and he might become champion in a different MMA event,
With rate of signing new fighters in UFC from Contender Series I am sure Dana will lay off much more old fighters soon.
He is not signing one or two fighters, it's usually five fighters for one week and this people need to sign contracts for more fights.
Either they are planning to have much more events around the world, or Ferguson and guys like him are waiting to get one way exit ticket.
I would never be surprised if the UFC fighters could become congested, but maybe Dana White is planning something and the UFC got a list of older fighters that may retire about a year or so because most on the contender series Dana White mostly gives a contract to 5 to 4 fighters, I think this is a good opportunity for newer MMA fighters to be listed in the UFC, but I feel like there are fighters that might not get much attention because of this,
Now I think we have a fight today on LFA and it is between two lovely ladies, The LFA 142: Amorim vs. Nichols, here are my picks
Jaqueline Amorim VS Ashley NicholsBecause of the background of Jaqueline Amorim in her Brazilian Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Ashley Nichols has expertise in Muay Thai, this could be a deadly fight for the Muay Thai Practitioner, and Jaqueline Amorim can have an advantage on the ground, maybe she will force her way to the ground game,
Thomas Petersen VS Kory MoegenburgFor me, I think that Thomas Petersen has a good advantage in winning with a KO/TKO, but Kory Moegenburg is a BJJ practitioner so there is a chance that the fight may go to the ground but as a wrestler, I think Thomas Peterson has good takedown defense, so my pick will be Thomas Petersen,
