i think likely he smashes him tko at 1st or early2nd round by gnp. He's definitely more skilled, the ufc scouts have him here in dwcs for a good reason.
But do you think Perkin would have gotten mounted by this guy two years ago into the second round? João Victor dos Santos ("Johnny Samurai") | MMA Fighter Page | Tapology
Not just mounted but spent almost 2 or 3 mins on his back eating ground and pound.
Do you think Perkin would have taken 3 and half rounds smashing Jhon Lourenço ("Malvadeza") | MMA Fighter Page | Tapology
only for it to be stopped by cut stoppage? That guy would have taken him the distance if it weren't for that cut likely.
I guess where im getting at is that Perkin is already further into the mma game than where Neves is right now. Perkins best performance was going against a 5-0 amatuer champ to a draw Krzysztof Wiśniewski ("Big Man") | MMA Fighter Page | Tapology, and that was 2018 4 years ago. He's further down the skill level and has been training likely a lot longer since before 2016 , most likely 2012 or 2013. Neves looks like he still has big holes in his grappling, a weakness you can't have in this level of the ufc.
If we want to figure out who is the better mma fighter and can utilize every aspect affectively, Perkins is more well rounded. now of course there are exceptions like good kick boxers with tdd and athletic. but Neves does not have neither gd athletic cardio nor decent grappling. If im looking at this from value side. im taking the 200+ underdog with more experience, better grappling, and no history of being koed vs a guy that cant grapple well and has low opponent rating who struggled with low level competition two years ago.
