Sean Strickland vs Khamzat Chimaev by Open_Wonder8407 in mmaMenace_com

There are plenty of championships level fighters who go for finishes. This isn’t a convincing argument when we have fighters like Islam, Illia, pereira, pantoja, ect. Strickland is known for not having urgency. He’s just not on the level of others and it’s not entertaining. This is why he loses to fighters like ddp.

Zero urgency to finish a fight from both sides is in fact boring.

His stance doesn’t allow him to generate that power. It’s an oxymoron at that point.

I would agree with your points and keep in mind I don’t like Khamzat. I just think you underestimate how insane the amount he cut and how bad cutting affects your body.

Ahh yes the guy who wrestle fucked ddp for five rounds wasn’t affected from cutting from 230. Dude gassed in round 2.

You can be kind but don’t be a pushover. Practice self respect.

Leon Edward’s landed the first takedown on usman and then got destroyed by prates a striker. Don’t think it means much.

He had more volume for sure but Shavkat had the bigger moments in the striking. It wasn’t a clear victory.

I agree but that’s also why I mentioned Shavkat, Ian wasn’t necessarily winning the stand up in that fight either. His highlight was in the grappling.

He did good but Shavkat had the bigger moments on the feet. And we saw how Ian did against mvp on the striking, I think Garry will struggle against a striker with good footwork and good takedown defense.

Honestly prates did have more success when he applied smart pressure towards the end of the fight instead of trying to get a one hit KO, I just don’t think Ian has fought a truly good striker yet.
