He is lucky in that it's mostly strikers to fight there.The level of opposition has been scary. If we assume Hill is next and he wins, that is some impressive stuff for a guy advanced in age. That will mark his 6th consecutive fight against a former/current/future champion. However, it is LHW and nobody will take him over Jones. At MW, he got fast tracked.
Still, what the man accomplished is the stuff of legends. Happy to have witnessed it while it was happening (Glory included).
It’s not luck. Most champions are strikers. And those who can grapple failed to use it properly. He will get lucky against Hill too.He is lucky in that it's mostly strikers to fight there.
I dont mean he's lucky to beat them,but that there isnt a arona or rampage type who can force a different game on him.It’s not luck. Most champions are strikers. And those who can grapple failed to use it properly. He will get lucky against Hill too.
Absolutely agree. He even seems to defend better than Glover, which is strange.I dont mean he's lucky to beat them,but that there isnt a arona or rampage type who can force a different game on him.
Still,the guy has learned really well defensivley from Glover. Better than any expected.
He might have that Nogueira Iron gripAbsolutely agree. He even seems to defend better than Glover, which is strange.
I agreeI hate these types of questions/threads though.
Seems like it's just meant to invite people to pick apart his accomplishments.
When someone starts talking about someone as GOAT (even as a question), people instinctively want to do that.
