So I've been catching up on fights...

I just watched Brian Ortega versus Tiago Tavares. Holy crap that was an amazing flight.

Thankfully, I didn't know who won so it was even more exciting to watch. Ortega's hip movement is legit and he's willing to take chances. He seriously needs some wrestling to round out his game.

Tavares also looked fantastic with his constant attack and submission defense. That cut was something reminiscent of Marvin Eastman vs Vitor Belfort.

I'm getting my money's worth out of Fight Pass. Phone Post 3.0

Ahhh!!! It's cool. If I didn't expect spoilers I could either watch them live or stay off here. I am going to watch his other older fights. I like his style.

Any other newer fighters you recommend me catching up on? Or any fights that are a must see.

I found this fight because it was part of DFW's top ten for the year. Phone Post 3.0

Check out Thomas Almeida if you havent already. He's a bit more known but still up and coming. I have a feeling he'll be in the top 10 for a long time.

Two other guys to check out are Albert Tumenov (last performance wasn't so great but he has an exciting style) and Doo Ho Choi (only 2 UFC fights but very entertaining, check out his fights in DEEP) Phone Post 3.0

Y'all rock. Thanks for the suggestions.

I was watching old school fights last night and saw Brian Johnston for the first time in a while. He'd be a beast is was training today (and still 26).

I've been a fan of The Barncat since his first stint in the UFC. Phone Post 3.0

That's a great list of names,

If Olivier Aubin-Mercier is the gentleman I am thinking of I thought I saw some great wrestling in his last fight. I could be wrong tho Phone Post 3.0
