Nothing against the great people of Denver Colorado and other mountainous regions across the world, but I hate when the UFC holds events in the same stratosphere of the peak of Mount Fuji FFS… I mean, it was it as bad tonight as well and we had to Mark Hunt / Ben Rothwell fights in Denver, but that altitude does force fighters to hold back and not be able to go at breakneck speed.
e.g. I do believe that had Shelton fought at sea level he probably beats Pantoja quite easily. Both of those guys really showed some skill though.. Promising prospects fo' sho. Pantoja used experience to win last night. Hard to believe that Shelton was pick number 15 on the show! In the coming years I think we will see a Magny like a growth from his time on TUF to his UFC proper showings.
