Makhachev detractors will dismiss this and continue to attack him for "cherry picking an easy title defense" against Poirier in the lead up to ufc 302 lol
Bo doesn’t nut shot Pickett, gasses himself trying to get the takedown along the fence, and gets finished round 2 in an alternate reality.
His MMA wrestling doesn’t look great. He doesn’t look confident shooting from space and doesn’t know how to cage wrestle. If Cody can survive the first...
Im not hating on him. Actually I think he will beat Pereira.
Hes a good fighter, but he doesnt have the skills to "style on" opponents, especially not a technical and calculated fighter like Ankalaev.
lol. imagine thinking Jamahal Hill styles on anybody, let alone someone like Ankalaev. Hill is a glorified brawler with some good physical attributes, which is apparently enough to get to the top of this shit division.
Hows he gonna win this? hes a brute with bad fundamentals. Strickland will win this with a basic jab and calculated pressure. Costa doesnt have the power that his fans think he does.
The match up is bizarre, Costa should be fighting the likes of Imavov or Allen or someshit.
Yet another weird match up by the UFC. Costa should be ranked 8-10, coming off of a loss, and they reward him with an opportunity to fight the former champ? wtf
Regardless, its a good stylistic match up to get Sean back in the win column. Costa doesnt have the power to stop Sean, nor the...
There are little no name boxers like Shakur/Haney making 1-5mil despite only selling 50-100k ppvs. Strickland is a popular face for the UFCs main consumer demographic, white american male, so he has leverage to ask for more pay. 200k is an absolute joke and an insult
Because Burns was ranked #2 in the division. Dominating/finishing a fight is not a requirement for the UFC to give out a title shot. There are countless examples of them doing the opposite.
Strickland beat 2 unranked opponents to get a title shot. One of them unimpressively, in which he lost...
This was true before Oil money, and it still applies to ethnic slavic Russians. It doesnt apply to Chimaev. The UFC gets paid a shit ton by Arab gazillionaires, so theyre incentivized to build Russian Muslim stars now.
The UFC WANTS Chimaev to be their next superstar. The fact that he doesnt...
I used to think he would be a title contender as well, but after this performance, I dont think so anymore. Hes not supposed to go life and death with a guy that got absolutely styled on by Imavov less than a year ago.
