Personally I hope Jan balls him up like dirty laundry and pitches him into the pile of force fed hype jobs.
yeah but the fight with Ortiz was entertaining, if Berto can put on that sort of showing then I'd be alright with him headlining
Oh def entertaining yeh. But if he puts on a couple more showings like that one vs Ortiz he'll be on FNF co features and working a part time job just to pay the bills very shortly.

I've rarely seen a fighter who has been pushed so far so quick but is still so green in many ways. He needs to hone and ground his fundamentals or he'll only be treading water till the end.
The only problem is it's somtimes a double edged sword... If you take your time trying to build someone up and develop skills certain people will call you out for not stepping up fast enough, which as a fighter you would imagine wouldn't be nice thing to hear and depending on the bottle of the promotoer to ignore the fans and do whats best in the name of development it could force them to step up quicker than would be ideal. On the other hand you reach a certain level and then get thrown in with no time to improve and kinda stagnate?

Then there is money and we all know everyone loves a fast buck one way or another...


I'm mashed might have repeated myself, can't be bothered to read through and check, sorry.
