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...
I wish I could find the clip of him getting cucked by Neil Magny, Mike was all drunk smack talking Neil and Neil had his feet up on the table telling him he wouldn’t do shit and it was funny as fuck.
For hardcore fans like myself this shouldn’t really be a bad card. Potential for a few bangers, some decent prospects and quite a few undefeated records on the line. As far as Apex cards go I’m fairly interested in this one!
I still never got the whole thing about Jake going to 170, guess the division really was cleared at that time. I thought he matched up much better against Andy than he did GSP, would’ve much rather seen that fight at the time.
