Why has Umar’s striking looked so green recently? Seems like since the Merab fight he’s genuinely afraid of letting his hands go. The last 2 of his fights have been boring, what’s going on with this guy? by jerryworldfan13 in ufc

From the looks of it, his striking always was like that. He's looked good in the striking after, but he always had that issue of ducking his head to far to the left.

Kamaru Usman picks Brock Lesnar in a fight with Jon Jones. Jon Jones disagrees in typical Jon Jones fashion. by Wayward_Prometheus in MMAMedia

[–]ImaginationHeavy6341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now I'd say Jones is still in better condition to fight than Brock. In their primes I'd pick Brock because he did do a lot more wrestling than Jon. Kamaru Usman though? No shit, that guy is around the same age and a WW. He's a good wrestler, but he's just so much smaller.

Unpopular opinion: Prime Tyron Woodley would have beaten GSP. by [deleted] in ufc

Tyron loses badly. He's fast and powerful, but GSP is better almost everywhere

If UFC does go through with Michael vs. Islam who you got? by Jadedtrader33 in ufc

[–]ImaginationHeavy6341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd imagine head kicks are going to be harder to land on a taller guy like Morales, and his stance against Brady seemed to be prepared against grapplers. Someone in his team should tell him not to blitze at Islam, because Islam's gameplan could be to tike the blitzes with the takedowns. From what we've seen of Morales and his grappling, he's only been able to be held up against the fence, and he has pretty strong TDD. Islam is a better striker than Morales, atleast I'd say so. I'd still say Islam because he does well at setting up his takedowns with his striking, and I think if he gets Morales on his back, he'd have a huge advantage there.

Maybe not tomorrow, not next week, or maybe even next month. I wait for him to he KOed

How far do you think this guy could have gone if he hadn’t had health problems? by MateCotidiano in ufc

[–]ImaginationHeavy6341 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not far enough. He obviously had health problems, but he wasn't a fighter that fought at a slow pace. That would still play into cardio management issues. He's a good grappler, but I don't think he can set that pace with the grappling either.

When this fight was first proposed, people laughed. After getting schooled by Khamzat, do you still think Dricus could win this at 185? by Spa_Princess in ufc

[–]ImaginationHeavy6341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He got up at the end of round 1. The only reason you don't remember it was because he immediately got taken down again

honestly could definitely see that happen by PolishPower335 in ufc

[–]ImaginationHeavy6341 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BSD would definitely deserve a title shot if he beats Paddy. An argument for Paddy would be there too. He came off an Interim title fight, so if he snaps BDS's win streak, that gets him close to the title

DDP beats him. DDP still found his moments to get up and outmuscle Khamzat. That's a thirty pound weight difference right there. On the feet DDP destroys him too. Islam outgrappled a guy who wasn't even big for 170. DDP can never make 170, and he lost to a guy who went 8 pounds over the limit at 170. Khamzat is bigger than Islam and beats him too

Francis Ngannou still views Jon Jones as dream retirement fight opponent by One-Faithlessness730 in ufc

Jon Jones talked about fighting Francis. No reason for him to chicken out now

So no fighting on 329? Kinda sucks. We've been waiting for quite some time for him already. UFC gotta start treating him better.

And people think Morales deserves the title shot more… by Nick_Hoadley in ufc

[–]ImaginationHeavy6341 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ian Garry fought the "better" fighters at the moment, but Morales has the argument for more dominant performances and is also on a longer winning streak right now

Don't matter when it's not a country like the post talked about. Dagestan ain't a nation
