He’s already faced “decent” guys…and hasn’t been KO’d so far. He would be a great opponent for Fitch.
Besides Grove and Marquardt he fought only mid-tiers fighters.
Fuck he made me lose a HUGE bet by losing to Cote going into the cage without being in shape
Does anyone know what made him take a 3 years hyatus?

Sounds like your sore loss on a bet is clouding your judgment.

Opening a school, having kids (his son has autism I believe). Plus I thought he beat Cote.
I think Almeida is going to do well at 170. He looked good in his debut…and didn’t gas. I want to see him against Fitch.

I think it would be a good throwback to wrestler vs bjj. Almeida looked good against Matt Brown. Going for takedowns the way he was I would say his conditioning has improved to a great level if it ever really was a question mark.
Almeida has a great school in NJ…
he jacked up Marquandt back in the day.
and he is big into renzo/rooney work style.
I think he is good needs to work on striking and clinch before he can go with someone like Fitch.
