Its about time. This guy is an Olympian and an undefeated MMA fighter that has literally never been hit in the head as he wrestle the crap out of people in MMA fights. Plus he is funny as hell. The style is not for everyone but for people that love martial arts this is true grappler vs strikers. Will be one of the more interesting things in UFC in a long time.
 
In the beginning I was not a fan but his trash talk has gotten better as well as his fighting style. Before he would just blanket a guy and now he has some vicious ground and pound.

His Lionel Richie cover of “hello” to Dana White was hilarious

I’ve been hearing a lot about this guy after GSP mentioned on Joe Rogans podcast.

Pretty crazy how he had something like 3 fights without getting hit.

Look forward to seeing his debut.
 
I always wanted to see him and GSP fight. That'd be a good one, IMO. I'd much rather see that fight than GSP vs MacGregor.
 
Also interested in seeing how he'll fare against the elite of MMA - because in truth, I don't think he's had opponents that truly represent the elite of the 170lb class.

I'd say Douglas Lima has probably been the highest level opponent he's faced so far.
