i wouldnt say this fight proves how good he is...diego brandao is a idiot, hes a violent ferocious dude for sure but hes not really a great measuring stick as far as how good a fighter really is.

i dont see him getting past fighters like dustin porier,dennis bermudez (whos a underrated BEAST), cub swanson, or even the korean zombie.....im confident that those guys will wreck him

^^^^^^ I agree that just beating Diego doesnt automatically prove how good he is, but everything I see from this kid right now tells me he's a legit star and gonna be tough to deal with for anybody in that division.

I think He eventually will be beaten by an elite grappler who can set up take downs off of strikes, he still makes mistakes that will get him fukked in championship level fights, even if he wins the belt which is totally plausible I think he will lose it somewhere along the line. In his latest fights he still makes white belts mistakes, like being in someones guard and putting both hands on the mat while his posture is broken, the minute he faces someone with a good guard it will cause trouble for him no doubt. I think he is the second best striker in the division after jose aldo, but from what ive seen through my own analysis and with my understanding of MMA, he could really have some trouble with a grappler who knows what their doing and can employ a decent gameplan. NOT to mention he talks about going up to light weight, which is silly because wtf is he gonna do against a guy like khabib nurmagomedov, who isnt by means my favorite fighter or anything and isnt the greatest striker...but if he got Mcgregor down, he would be fukked imo.
