He won a lot of those fights due to his opponents having even worse fight IQ than him somehow and playing his game.
Don’t really think it’s fair to compare him to MJ though, as MJ has always possessed championship level skills where as Paul Craig certainly has not.
Same with his fight against Wonderboy, that fight was a back and forth war! Sad to see him retire he is one of my all time favorite fighters, clinch game right up there with Anderson in his prime.
He’s not wrong, outside of the UK and sherdog no one gives a flying fuck or even knows about Tom Aspinall. As far as business goes 100% Pereira is the better fight for Jon to take, money and fight wise.
Who in the back decided it was a good idea to give this guy a desk job? Like I don’t think a single person on earth who would go “wow you know Anthony smith is a guy whose opinion the world really needs to hear!”
His stupid little desk job turned him from a somewhat likeable dude to one of the...
Most surprising part of this is the Pitbull went after someone physically capable (at least to my knowledge). Usually pitbulls only attempt to kill/kill women children and old people from what I have seen in these articles.
He hit his ceiling quick and it’s not very great. When you are winning fights but losing popularity it’s a sign even the most casual fans have picked up on him being spoon fed his whole UFC career. People no longer want to see him fighting cans or washed up fighters, fight someone that isn’t 40...
Whitman did wonders for Gaethje, has helped him clean up his striking and use his power much better and also become a much better defensive fighter over the years. As soon as Gaethje did what you wanted him to he got knocked out.
Max has one of the best chins in the history of the sport and is...
First couple rounds were pretty good but the fight went to complete shit after that. Both seemed pretty gassed by that point and it just became a boring low level grindfest for the last few rounds.
Gaethje has questionable fight IQ at best, and pretty much stops leg kicking whether they are working or not after the 1st round and a half. Think Max puts it on him after a close first round
Not a big Colby fan but I think he has enough left to beat Garry. Neither guy looked good in there last fight but Garry is looking like he’s hit his ceiling skill wise and it’s not very impressive. Lacks power and aggression, untested for the most part in his grappling and isn’t very physically...
You could put a lot of his title run down to sheer luck when it came to decisions. His fights were razor thin and could’ve gone either way, no one saw him as a dominant champ.
He was not underrated he just had a very uninspiring run. He kind of reminds me of Tim Sylvia in the sense where on...
Don’t care to see Allen vs Strickland at all, Allen clearly isn’t a top dude and Strickland would mug him as he did the first time on short notice. Jack vs Allen makes more sense as Allen arguably lost to a fringe top 15 guy that Jack handled pretty easily and they haven’t fought yet either so...
