Is Usman that banged up these days? I know his knees aren't great but his scrambles in training videos (don't know how old the vids really are) looks like he still has a lot in the tank.
I agree that Rob probably wouldn't be Dana's choice either but I'd love to see it.
Nick Diaz is a solid...
Usman because he was the most dominant WW since GSP and a great grappler in his own right.
Whittaker because he was supposed to fight GSP before he retired to unify the MW title.
I scored it for Malkoun as well, so did a few media outlets.. not saying a robbery, but he did have an argument for the win. Malkoun is an ADCC qualifier so is a high level grappler though.
No way Kelvin should be fighting no.6 in the division on returning.
Shavkhat vs Burns should be the fight at WW
Do Kelvin vs Brady, Luque or Chiesa next.
Penn's is worse for me.
Marlon was still showing his skills and doing well in fights "until he lost" because of his chin... but Penn... just couldn't hang at all anymore.
Guys have mentioned Ferguson and Woodley too, similar to Penn, it wasn't a case of their chins fading, etc. However, they...
Alex at LHW will be just so much bigger, better hydrated and probably have a much better camp as a result. Given they do have similar skill levels I'd take Alex at LHW.
She seems like a real dog shit human - she might get people interested in watching her get beat up by being like this but for me, she's just someone I avoid altogether.
That post-fight presser was about as well as anyone could handle defeat after that level of pre-fight trash talk! You'd never see it with any of the similar personas these days I don't think.
Wasn't Gordon actually put out by the headbutt (and follow up punches) just like 5 weeks ago? I know the records say NC but he was out... he shouldn't be fighting yet!
Carlos Condit was a strong finisher. Up until the Nick Diaz title fight he had only won one decision, the rest were finishes. Finished his career with 28 finishes in 32 wins so still an 88% finish rate.
Edit, I just realized we're talking about KO's or TKO's so my point is irrelevant... other...
