Most people know that Duffy is skilled and super entertaining to watch. How good is he really? He faltered in his big step up against Dustin Poirier and his next fight should tell us if he has improved and possibly if he is a title contender.
He should fight a guy like Iaquinta or Dunham. Then again nothing the ufc is doing these days has made much sense.

Thoughts?
 
His wrestling seemed massively improved in the Madadi fight, hope they resign him and he can start climbing the rankings.
 
Lots of good matchups to make with Duffy. He's as well rounded as anyone in that division. I'd say he needs a top 15 guy now.

#12 Evan Dunham or #11 Kevin Lee sound like good options for Duffy right now.
 
Big Duffy fan, literally watching him V Madadi now. Made Reza look lost out there. Definitely a top 15 guy with a big potential.
 
Joe Lauzon could be a fun fight for him. I know he's not top 15, but I still think that's a good test for him. Also, lots of potential to be an entertaining fight.

Or Jim Miller.

But yeah, definitely re-sign him anyway.
 
Duffy is far from title contention.
 
Ranked? Your talking non sense. Their are no rankings anymore. Anything goes in the match making room now
 
Resign him and then give him an opponent? I don't think you can give fights to fighters once you've quit them.
 
You purdy maach, don't treat me like that , saaaaan, and I don't preciate that.
 
Big fan. I hope they renew his contract, but if not, I hope he gets good money in Bellator.

But if he signs with Bellator he's going to miss out on that sweet, sweet 1500 dollar Reebok check whenever he fights!
 
I think what keeps him from being top 5 is lack of punching accuracy when he has open shots. The high kicks and knees are better, great reaction time. But you got to capitalize when a guy is reeling against the fence. He often misses those shots that for example Conor and Aldo land. The form is great so IDK what's the issue there. I'd guess being more active would help.

I like those match-ups.
 
Big fan. I'm a big fan of miller and L-Lau but duffy pucks them apart on the feet. If he continues to improve his TDD he's a top 10 fighter. He'd beat edson if they fought tomorrow.
 
Him and Paul Felder are two of my favourite LW's. Always exciting fights, and both showcase some of the best standup technique around.
