ATN: black belts who can make it to Metamoris 5

[Aiseop]

EXACTLY! Now, who's the ballsy one? LOL

Looks like a resume was sent in today by the one and only Eric Red Schafer! UFC Vet and black belt under Pedro Sauer.
9 time UFC Veteran I would love to see that fight! Only tapped once in over 100 matches!

Anyone you would most like to see?

I wonder how Bibiano Fernandez would fit in with this type of competition

[stan myaskovskiy]

Not a single one of those guys excites me compared to what they COULD HAVE found. There were UFC veterans that applied, and a few household names too. (Personal opinion though)

[Scott Philips]

Puopolo would be cool but I'd like to see Jeremy Arel get there.

Hinger's a beast,

It's a shame Ezra Lenon or other dudes from the Midwest couldn't come out

I hope that's not all. If this is a list that they're picking from, they're literally picking the easiest fights. Shannon Ritch? That guy's been losing since I was a teenager. His MMA record is 53 wins, 76 losses with 53 losses coming by submission. Picking a guy like that over Red Schaffer is making a mockery of the sport.

Hinger or Bastos

I don't doubt some of these guys have mad skill. However I agree to pass on a 9 time UFC vet and black belt under Pedro Sauer makes it feel like they don't take the match seriously. They would have been in same divsion in Tue UFC too wouldn't they? Or was Red bigger
