I am curious to see what will happen to the UFC ww rankings if Paulo Thiago wins. If this dude manages to get passed Fitch like he did fitch's training partner and fellow ww contender, he will not only remain undefeated, but he will be 2-0 against the # 3 ww and against a top 10 ww. What would be next, or who would be next for paulo thiago?

If Paulo Thiago wins he'll problably need to get one or two more wins before getting a title shot, but if he does win he'll completely rearrange the 170 contender spots.

if he wins i say put him against the swick/kampmann winner for the title shot

No matter what I do I just cant see Thiago winning this fight. Like Fitch has pretty much proven against numerous opponents that he cant be subbed or KOed in this point of his career. The amount of tight submisions hes been in with Alves, Caniero, and Sanchez. to the beating he took on the feet against wilson and GSP. Plus its not like the guy is going to outwork Fitch and grind out a decision. With all dew respect to MR. Thiago I think hed need a weapon to beat Fitch.

good point carls, funny too dude
but look at what happened to nogeira against mir? i felt the exact same way about that fight dude. mir said it best "his ability to weather storms and his pain tolerance is legendary". But a dude with decent stand up, mir was able to whoop his **** by the 2nd.

hey Mir's standup has been getting a lot better Jazz..... O and staph what....!
If Thiago beats Fitch well he will be in the rankings, where exactly I don't know.... Him beating Kos is well what it is, I enjoyed the ****, out of it but Kos was winning the fight til then imo... I don't see Thiago beating Fitch but everytime you go in there you take a chance at losing.. It would be crazy if that were to happen tho beating two top contenders in the WW division... Would you put him in the top 8 or so that could be a nice place for him if it were to happen.... I kinda agree with Gun that IF he does beat Fitch he should face the winner of Kampmann v Swick

give him marcus davis or the outlaw. with the outlaw beating davis he moved up a few spots, and either guy would be dangerous the thiago. regardless of if he beats fitch or not give him either of those guys. swick more than likely loses to kampmann, so if thiago beats hardy or davis then he gets swick, then the gsp-alves loser. i dont think homeboy should get a title shot or even be considered top 5 with a win over fitch, he caught kos, he was getting picked apart in that fight before the nice uppercut. i havent seen anything from the guy to impress me, so thats how i feel.

First off, let me say the odds of Fitch being beaten by Thiago are really small, but hypothetically it's possible. I would think that the Swick-Kampmann loser, rather than the winner, would be a good next fight for Thiago.
I'm in the minority with this, but I've picked Swick to beat Kampmann. As I've said before in most sports speed kills, and Swick's striking speed isn't going to make Kampmann a happy camper. Regardless, either Swick or Kampmann would make a good opponent and solid fight for Thiago if he somehow can beat Jon Fitch.Posted 8 months ago # -
