I’m a huge fan. I always said guys need to stop being so chicken shit and follow him to the ground and beat him up A la Alan belcher Rousimar Palhares. Topuria did exactly that and I give him the credit he deserves.Lol, what do his fans say? Any actual quotes?
He clearly has skills, but dude needs to learn to do more than an Imanari roll and a spinning side kick. MMA has evolved past a JJ wiz being able to dominate with no other styles incorporated. See K1 Maia.
Eh, Maia fought for the belt in two weight divisions. Let's not pretend he hasn't had more success then 99.9% of other fighters on the UFC roster, regardless of their specialties.
Yeah maybe after the 10th Imanari roll it should've been clear his usual strategy wasn't working ....Not gonna pile on about Hall, but Rogan's commentary was pretty brutal. He was jizzing himself about Ryan Hall the entire fight "Oh this is it, he's in trouble" "Oh the unschooled can't appreciate". Lol, come on now Joe.

UmmmEven Jon Jones had a loss on his record, before he became UFC champion.

Totally it's funny when you see guys who are obviously somewhat elite spam the same move . Kinda like Maia vs Belal, your a fucking black belt , fighting in a top org and you cant change things up a little when it's clear your 1 main move isn't working ? Fighting is wild man haha .Firas should've had him drill takedowns or clinches 24/7, maybe weird unorthodox ones or something. He won't catch legit guys in their prime just by rolling around, but Rogan loves that because Hall's a BJJ hero. A fighting style that would only work in a bouncy castle lol.
