Crossroads fight for Thomas Almeida

[MMA4Life]

It wasn't too long ago Almeida was the next big thing. I remember he was the favorite going into the Garbrandt fight. He has only lost to Cody and Rivera who is on a 20 fight win streak. Rob Font is a game fighter and pretty well rounded. I'm rooting for Almeida, I think he takes this one but I wouldn't be surprised if it turned into a wild fight with them both dropping each other.

 

[Erocthadon]

Good fight is all I know.

 

[Flex Plexico]

I’m also really rooting for Almeida, here.

I wanna see a MT revival in the ufc

 

[HelloJapan]

He ain't no Erick Silva.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Should be a good standup fight, Picking Almeida by unanimous decision.

 

[DarkneT]

I think he beats Font to be honest

 

[Tony Ferguson]

I’m also really rooting for Almeida, here.

I wanna see a MT revival in the ufc

muay thai?

 

[Kumason]

I'm rooting for Font for sure but I have to refresh on footage before making a pick with any confidence.If I had to pick right now i'd probably go with Almeida but idk it's a tough one and imo Font is tougher.People were crazy about Almeida even after he clearly lost the 1st round vs Brad Pickett and then caught Brad with the low % flying knee.Still a great fighter but Font might be too well rounded,I gotta study this one.

 

[Human Bass]

He trained in Thailand recently, what I find it awful, one of the worst places to get train for mma.

 

[Coolkid666]

he killed everyone on the lower league axs tv. maybe ufc pushed him too early idk

 

[UhHuhSure]

I got a feeling Font is tougher but Almeida is really dynamic

 

[CieloLuce]

Font has enough power to hurt Almeida, I wouldn't be surprised if Font won. I hope Almeida added more to his arsenal for this fight.

 

[ArtemV]

I think Font wins by submission or tko.

 

[Leonard Haid]

Agree that it's a crossroads fight for Almeida. If he wins convincingly and then wins again, he's back in some conversations of who should fight the champ. But if he loses it's gonna be a long long LONG road back to title contention, though he's still young which means he could travel on that road.

Yeah and Font is a good fighter and has looked great at moments in his career like when he ran through the CES MMA promotion. I still think Almeida has the higher ceiling potential wise.
