get this guy a new mic or fix the port. This happens in every one of his videos.

3

what weight does he fight or would fight at if he was in the UFC?

4

Fights LHW would lose to wrestlers but should have striking advantage or a lot of LHW

He has fought nobody in MMA in the top 50 so start him off slow Phone Post 3.0

Bad audio quality for the first 30 seconds. Cool interview though, hope he gets into the UFC soon after his leg heals up. Though doesn't he have a WSOF contract?

8

He has all the potential to do exactly what he said.

He's always going to struggle with the great wrestlers but a lot of fighters are going to get ktfo with some of the most vicious combo's your likely to ever see in mixed martial arts.

so far in WSOF he has shown nothing that would ake me think he could do well at 205 in UFC...Spong has not been that impressive thus far in his mma career...great kockboxer though but the 205 wrestlers would eat him alive..

Spong is an animal and his kickboxing fights are off the charts entertainment.

That said, he's not set the world on fire in WSOF and would get wrecked by any top 15 at 205.

I will happily watch all of his mma fights and support his career but I think Spong made the transition too late in the day. Phone Post 3.0

Detective Morgan - Spong vs Glover would be chaos Phone Post 3.0

Glover would get a TD and it would not be chaos

Spong vs rampage in bellator IMO as a warm up, then Daley, Phone Post 3.0

This.

Glover would NOT stand and trade with Spong.

It would not be smart to do so and certainly wouldn't win him the fight. Phone Post 3.0
