Because it'll be interesting to see how Rumble will deal (assuming if they actually fight and it goes there) with Jones' clinch game.

YepI think he has the power to deal some serious damage even from close range with uppercuts.
I can't see anyone taking more than 3-4 of those.
Fairly mediocre. Arlovski won the majority of the clinch in their fight pretty easily and Andrei doesnt have a noteworthy clinch game. He couldnt do anything with underhooks, couldnt transition, had his posture broken constantly, didnt use head control, didnt fight for position, had next to 0 offense outside some decent uppercuts. His technique in the clinch and fundamentals are very poor. Yeah Andrei had a size advantage, but there have been much bigger size disparities (including Humble @ WW who was huge and got beat a couple times) and Humble if he had any semblance of skill in the clinch shouldve been able to do much more than he did there against a guy with as basic clinch skills as Andrei, instead of spending alot of the 2nd and 3rd Hendricks dryhumping Andreis legs
@ LHW these days only Bones and DC have clinch games worth talking about really, so Humble only has to really worry about those too since the rest of the clinch games in that division are mostly shit. Gus has some neat tricks but hes very limited in there.
Humble has picked up solid Dutch kickboxing skills under Hooft and I think Humble is one of the handful of MMA fighters I think would do well in like GLORY kickboxing or something like that but yeah his clinch has always been mediocre outside uppercuts (even his WW days which I'm not sure alot of sherdoggers know/remember outside highlights ) only which he only gets when he has ample space and can be taken away by positioning of just decently skilled clinch fighters since Humble doesn't do much of anything to create that space/opportunitiesWow, you have a point...
I feel like Rumble trains strictly kickboxing for his striking.
