Contender Series 2024: Week 1

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

An Tuan Ho fight here probably

An Tuan Ho fighting Lone'er Kavanagh supposedly on this week. I love this fight, but I am a bit sad because these two are some of my favorite flyweight prospects. I think Lone'er Kavanagh will beat Ho, his striking is superior and he has some serious power unlike most flyweights. He knocked down Shawn Marcos da Silva several times, if Ho does win I think he will need to grapple. 

We could get a FOTN style performance where UFC signs both of them as they're both legit, entertaining prospects

Wouldn’t surprise me, both are very fun without many flaws. 

Two elite flyweight prospects right here. Future of the ufc no matter who wins 

Lone'er Kavanagh and An Tuan Ho are two of the best young prospects in recent history, it's unfortunate that one of them has to have their hype-train momentarily derailed. Even with a loss I can't imagine the UFC let either of these two out of the Apex without a contract, however, if it does happen, I could easily see the loser signing with RIZIN or ONE.
