Since BJ has the belt in the 170 pound division and he is Charuto's teammate, I wonder if Charuto could move up to 185 and take on MAtt Linland...
Just have them to match up for the Belt...
ZUFFA make it happen!

I believe Charuto would pound him
good idea. matt might have some bustamonte deja vu
a world class bjj guy with decent striking is a tough match up for anyone....esepcially for somone who dont have great gnp. I dont see Matt being able to anything other then lay and pray.
charuto would KILL him
are we talking about that good 170 pounder...beating the great #1 185 pound Law??? Drop the crack-pipe, and back away from LSD.
sexz: "I believe Charuto would pound him"
Care to bet on that? ;)
I'm with PitMaster on this one.
I think Charuto has a great chance as well. He does remind me of Bustamante a lot. In fact I think he has better stand up than Busta and a great ground game which is obvious.
Make it happen Dana!!!
"Drop the crack-pipe, and back away from LSD."
WTF?
He beats Newton and now he is the second coming ....Its funny how almost everybody on here thought Newton would beat him previous to the fight ...He wins and now he can beat Lindland ....
Give me a frickin break ....You all saw what happened to the last 170 pounder who tried to step up to 85s and fight Matt ....
Since Charuto would kill Lindland ,,,I guess that must mean he can kill Almeida ,Vitale ,Militich ,Baroni and Salaverry ....YA RIGHT ...
There are some dilutional bandwagon riders on here who need to get off the dope.......
Yay it's Ring Girl! I'll bet on it when it happeneds where is my shirt by the way?
Shootfighter they did not fight at 185 ....Newton was allowed to weigh in at 175 because he arrived into Vegas late .....Charutos camp agreed to the additional 5 pound weight allowance ......

Do you guys remember what happened when Charutos student went up from 155 to fight the reigning 170 champ? Charuto would have a good shot to do what his student did...
Exactly Ronin.
What BJ did was impressive but I dont feel it would go down like that in a second fight ....
As far as Charuto are people now saying he is on BJs level ...He beats Newton and hes now the 2nd prodigy ...I think Charuto looks very talented with a great body for his style but stepping up against Lindland will result in the same fate as Almeida ,Salaverry and Vitale endurred....all very good sub guys who were handled with quite ease by Lindland ...His contant pressure is something Charuto has probably never seen ....and he would be fighting that fight from his back for the most part .....
I agree this would be a great match-up.
ttt....
Let's get something straight Lindland did not walk through Almeida. Does anybody remember how that fight went? Matt was standing in front of Almeida in the guard and would drop to one knee every time Almeida kicked at his face. Almeida got dq'd. The Law is not an impressive fighter. He is a boring lnper.
I think Matt is a good fighter and so i Charuto...
I would like to see them fight...

Charuto should definitely fight at 185 due to the Penn thing. Not only that but he is so tall, he could easily fill out that body a bit more.
I think Charuto should be part of a tournament for the MW title which will obviously include Lindland.
I would love to see Charuto and Linland go at it. This fight would be a close contest.
For the tournament, you got Baroni, Linland, Charuto, Murray, Tanner, and you could really make it intriguing by throwing in someone like Pele or A. Silva and Horn. Lots of possibilties out there.
