Grappling fans - who would do better in MMA

[Regal Boy]

Look slow as shit and stiff as a board. He gets violently KO'd by anyone with even half decent striking.

He would completely barrel through every HW on the roster with just half a year of decent boxing training. He says he's been training his striking for 2 years? He's gonna make waves if he actually goes into MMA.

 

[Daniel_LaRusso]

Borrows. Too athletic, too explosive.

 

[Iron Nick]

maybe wiki is wrong

5 foot 9 doesn't mean 5,9 feet though, it means 5 feet and 9 inches.

Stupid, i know.

It always is _ Feet and _ Inches, with every 12 inches being one foot. Therefore, 5 foot 11 inches, is one inch below 6 feet.

Maybe but that bag striking looks god awful. He is carrying far too much bulk.

 

[ProperLad]

Burroughs with decent boxing would be an absolute nightmare.

Hell he doesn’t even need decent boxing look at Usman and Colby. They have garbage striking and their wrestling carries them

 

[khabib time]

how the hell is he 5'9 and 285 pounds?

 

[Regal Boy]

yea he should lose like 50 pounds

 

[arcadeperfect]

Whoever is the better striker.

Problem with Burroughs is that he would probably fight at 170lbs.
That division is full of elite fighter with a wrestling background.....

They would still get wrestled to death imo

 

[r-harper-1]

I'm 5'7" and 230 pounds and I'm not fat. He's 5'11 and 285, really crazy strong dude.

Lol highly doubtful .... unless you on the juice ?

Whoever is more game and not afraid to bang, for all we know Burroughs could turn into Bob Sapp the moment he takes a punch, there's no way to tell, but if you're saying just drop them into a fight as they are now, then definitely Craig Jones would be better imo.

Just having wrestling doesn't finish fights, and there's no way Jordan will have the cardio for a full fight, with just wrestling.

Craig Jones can flop to his butt and imanari roll all day long, and people will be scared to get anywhere near him

he could probably go into PFL and win the 170 belt there, and pocket a million dollars

 

[Josh Beasley]

If Burroughs gets you to the ground it’s over. Askren has top flight MMA wrestling and he got completely owned by JB last year. JB out wrestles everyone from 185 and down. Probably most 205ers too.

 

[NebNotorious]

Burroughs IMO jiu-jitsu is very different when you involve strikes
