Better boxing, better offensive wrestler, better footwork, cardio is about even.Also, Gus has the pure boxing advantage over Rockhold. That's literally it.

I think most people expected Rockhold to fight smart, not go out there and use a jab for the first time in his lifeLMAO I can't believe what I'm reading. I'm not replying to anything else about Bisping vs Rockhold. This is ridiculous. 99% of people said Bisping is too pillow fisted to contend on the feet and can't survive on the ground with Rockhold, and were wondering whether or not he'd be able to survive for more than 1.5 rounds, not if he'd be able to win. Now you're all acting like you called it. Get that shit out of here.
That didn't matter at the time. People only expected Bisping to somehow win a decision or get finished because it was general consensus that he was pillow fisted.I think most people expected Rockhold to fight smart, not go out there and use a jab for the first time in his life
AES vs my future wife
Rockhold's skillset is not better than Gus'. Rockhold does not have good boxing at all, and his offense is very particular. He has a better ground game, but thats it.
It doesn't matter who was giving him a chance (even though piglord did and cashed out and I was saying myself I would take Bisping at the odds he had if he had more time), hes still a top level guy and has been for a long time. And he definitely had a boxing advantage over Rockhold. Jan has never even been close to a top level fighter. If anything, you could make an argument hes looking worse than ever when Igor Pokrajac was beasting him last fight.
Better boxing, better offensive wrestling, better footwork, equal in areas like cardioBesides hands, where do you think Gus is better? Rockhold is clearly the better grappler. Rockhold has the better kicking game. On a skill for skill basis, I have a hard time even entertaining an argument that Gus is better. Even if you start bringing in aspects outside of normal skillsets like heart and killer instinct, it's still a tough argument to make.
Gus' offensive wrestling isn't better just because he took down Jones for like 2 secsBetter boxing, better offensive wrestling, better footwork, equal in areas like cardio
And he took down DC.Gus' offensive wrestling isn't better just because he took down Jones for like 2 secs
Again for like 1 secondAnd he took down DC.
Yeah I'm sure Rockhold would've been able to get them downAgain for like 1 second
I don't rate someone's takedown ability unless they keep them down
He's not 6ft 6Yeah I'm sure Rockhold would've been able to get them down
Your argument falls on deaf ears when you say "oh he took down an Olympian but it wasn't for long so I won't count it"He's not 6ft 6
He'd take down anyone at MW if he had to
