@AnneFrankenstein_69 who in the hell has Perry beatin the ufc that makes me optimistic lol Jouban made him look like a one demensional flat footed fighter.. the hype is just like Houston Alexander . he knocked a couple guys out that aren't near the top 2 and the best guy he beat is a old ellenberger..

From the branch fight I watched oj youtibe a couple days ago, seemed like he's a ground fighter thar won't be able to get the takedown on luke.

Gonna get kicked into oblivion, and if it goes down, I'd be hard pressed to think his ground game is better than heavyweight Luke rockhold

Am I close or way off?

Not saying they haven't done it before, just saying it's bad practice. The right thing to do is to cancel the fight in these situations imho.
Strikeforce used to make ton of mismatches and was very exciting with fights always ending with some form of finish. UFC doesn't do that cuz they're into money fights but when opportunity presents, I don't think it's a bad idea.
The fighter that shows up still gets paid and great opportunity to make a name for someone who's taking the fight on short notice.

As a Rory fan, I'm glad he left the UFC before Perry showed up on the scene.
Plz tell me you ding think he stood a chance vs Rory..did you guys forget how bae he got clowned by Jouban? A .500 fighter in the ufc? You guys are drinking the koolaid and im afraid you like the etting flavor..I guarantee he gets beat by any top 10 guy
