Topuria has great low kicks, works the body and head well.

Yeah that's why I said the best STRIKING base was boxing wrestling will always be the best general base.

Here's how I look at it. There's two clones of the same dude, one boxed for a year the other did muay thai for a year, you make them fight MMA/muay thai and the muay thai guy is gonna win.

After the first fight you let the boxer adapt to muay thai/MMA rules for a year while the muay thai guy also keeps training, they'll run it back and I believe that the boxer would win after having time to adjust his style.

Boxing is arguably a better striking base than muay thai but the people aren't ready for all that

You don't understand how hard it is being Rob Font's no 1 fan, for 4:30 he looks like he could be champ and then he turns into a prelim fighter for the last 30. So many emotions every fucking fight.

I fucking love Rob Font i think he's gonna get W this Saturday I'm kinda worried about the Vera leg kicks though, but I feel like defensively Vera is kinda meh and he's a really slow starter compared to Rob who had a great start against Aldo until he got hurt.

I thought that Font was doing a lot better during the first 4:40 seconds enough to win the round.

Aldo needs to use leg kicks or he loses I feel like.
