Shuberling Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Did anyone else think he looked like a not as good version of Jose Aldo? He showed some immense striking and his leg kicks were vicous, good ground game as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He showed some immense striking and his leg kicks were vicous' date=' good ground game as well.[/quote'] He reminds me a lot of Jose Aldo. I thought that when I was watching his pre UFC highlight reel on youtube on friday. I could see this kid making waves in the LW division. Check it out, music sucks but he has vicious, vicious kicks, check out the ko at 1:40 and the anaconda choke at 2:50 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orEWAvq5hz4&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does look like he could be the next LW champion. Might even be cool to see him at WW to see how he does there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell but he's a very exciting prospect for sure. I'll hold off on the potential lw champ for now, I will definitely be keeping my eye on his upcoming fights.

His striking looked superior to Aldos if anything, and his strength when it came to takedowns and TD defense was ridiculous. Im saying it already...Barboza is the future of the LW division.

Caffa21 Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I'm on the bandwagon, the dude is a beast! Loved his last fight, he showed some good strength when he took his opponent down with will and also stuffed his takedowns, his striking was brutal!

Stevo_Junior_AldoFTW Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I am deff on the bandwagon too, i love this guy and he's gonna be making some noise in the lightweight division thats for sure can't wait to see his next fight..

I'm not sure but all i know is i can't wait for it, he'll probably have a fight in the middle of the next card he fights on maybe a pre-lim bout. Hopefully in the next couple months he should be back in action, maybe around 128 or 129? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenColbert Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I think he has a good chance of making the main card as he should. He's going to be really good in the next few years. He really is just like another Jose Aldo IMO. He'll work his way up to the top of the LW division pretty quick......although that div. is really stacked right now.

Yea Barboza is also a very big lightweight and won't be muscled by wrestlers easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
