I mean, it's impossible to discuss with you because you know nothing about the UFC and you know very little about Bellator the only thing you know about is Gegard. It doesn't sound like you've seen Vettori fight, and it doesn't sound like you've seen Vanderford fight, and it certainly doesn't sound like you've seen the other members of the UFC's MW division fight. Neither are you an unbiased party. I discussed Vettori's weaknesses and strengths evenhandedly and why he might succeed and why he might struggle. You can't do that because your only feedback to any conversation is "Gegard god, everyone else peasant."Mousasi - 240
Vettori +200
..maybe MAYBE A tad less due to UFC bias.
Mousasi finishes marvin by stoppage . Gegard still one of the top 3 middles in world and who knows where in pecking order of 3.
What has marvin exactly done. I appreciate your wordy post but if u think vettori tskes down mousasi and either keeps him there or puts this damage on him , lol , please.
The BMMA middle division isnt impressive by any means but outside izz& rob - neither is todays UFC.
Gegards time will come ( as he said hinself) where he wont be a top middle in world but at 36, still going strong....which is crazy.
His post presser looks the same ( his physical features ) as it did before he hit 30. It doesnt even make sense.
And there are a lot of guys on the worldwide boards who probably have the right to call people casuals because they watch every Bellator event, every UFC event, and a lot of regional events. You seem to only resurface once a year when Gegard fights, who do you have the right to call a casual? Will you even watch this coming weekend's card?
Salter is not the tougher opponent in reality or on paper. Edwards is a better grappler than Van Steenis and Vanderford held down Edwards for 3 rounds without tiring, while Salter faded after a round and a half of holding down Van Steenis. On paper he's 36, and his 3 most recent wins are very comparable to the quality of Vanderford's last 3 wins, just older. It really does not matter who has what handedness because Salter as a practical matter never strikes with anyone anyways, the fact that he tagged Mousasi was hilarious but unconsequential. Whether either beats Mousasi is questionable but Vanderford would beat Salter. In fact I think, if Salter doesn't retire which I think he should, Bellator may start feeding him down the row of prospects. He's a pretty reliable win for a lot of the wrestling based prospects because he will struggle to take them down and keep them down and they can piece him up on the feet or turn and smash him on the ground.I also know little about mr. Vanzant. Hes undefeated but hasnt had much fights. On paper, Salter " should" be the tougher fight because hes a southpaw and his right hand is actually his dominant hand. This makes the entrance of Gegards striking a bit tricky but he had no respect for Salters striking in general.
Vanderford much quicker from what I have seen. I really cant say too much more except Mousasi flattens the guys that have taken vanderford to a decision.
Gegard continues to be in a lose lose situation in BMMA so the casuals just wont give mousasi credit . I thought he beat Lovato which would make him 12 out of 12 spanning back to UFC where he flattened all 7 men on his final 8 fight contract.
And I'm sorry you think that way but even Gegard owned up to that loss and the rest of world has moved on without contesting it much. This is also neither here nor there but the grammatical structure "he flattened all 7 of 8", I think you missed the meaning of the word all... He will fight Vanderford when the time comes, and he will be the favorite, and we will watch that fight. If he wants to go to the UFC afterwards and vindicate you, escape this "lose lose situation", that's his decision, for now he fights Vanderford.
