At welterweight? Seems Usman is calling him out and I feel Usman has the goods to beat Till…sooo many people are high on Till though…who should he fight next? Could he beat Woodley? I don’t see Til staying on his feet if he fought Tyron
Anything can happen in MMA but he has a lot of obstacles to cross. Those obstacles would be 2 more top 5-10 fighters that he would have a stylistic advantage over. From what I remember his only great performance was against Cerrone which is a huge win but he needs to face a strong wrestler like Colby or Usman for us to see where he really is
That’s a toughie. Gotta get past Thompson and beat Woodley.
He sure looks very promising, if he can stay at 170 cuz that fella is yuuuuuge
I think he needs to get active asap. I think Till vs Ponz would be a logical match up for both guys.
Yes. Absolutely. He's a massive 170 lber, he's insanely young, and he's probably the most athletically gifted guy in his weight division.
His left hand is a piston, I have him beating Coby, Usman, and the bottom top ten guys already. The only real tests for him atm are Tyron and Wonderboy, the latter of which will be a super interesting matchup.

Great fight!
Agreed but isn’t Ponzi already scheduled to fight somebody else?
He definitely has the feel of somebody who could be a champion. And he has the self-belief needed to do so. His win over Cowboy was a legitimately fantastic performance against a great competitor. It was championship level stuff.
Is that enough to beat a wrestler like Usman or a guy like Wonderboy? I’m not sure. But he definitely appears to be at the highest levels.
Needs to get back on the horse and get a fight. He was angling for Gunnar but that seems to have fallen thru. He is a huge WW and his stand up looks good. Going back watching his fights, he has a great ability to be in striking distance and evade punches. He pivots heavily upwards from his hips and thus evades punches. His left hand is accurate and fast. But he needs to match up with a strong wrestler, to see what he has on the ground. Has the killer instinct which i like. Look forward to him going forward.
He's a huge WW and has the tools to do it, I think he can sure.
Need to see him vs usman and wonderboy.
more likely than not
Keep Usman away and he can do it. Please for the love of god make Covington vs Usman.
gemma - Yes I think he could make it, but like somene said, a long way to go, lots of fights before his shot. Yes has to get by wonderboy, but I'm almost sure that's possible. Tyrone ? Not so sure.Wish the northern lad all the luck.
I see it the opposite - I think Wonderboy is the hardest match up for him stylistically. I think he beats Woodley Marquardt-style.
