Green you good to GO! Yellow means Woah, Orange means Who..?
Bektic not really a who just haven't seen enough of him. The only reason Ortega got a Woah because somebody had to get the woah and I like the other two guys better, sue me I'm biased....
I like choi alot but i need to see hes going to perfect his fighting style and tighten up his strikes and add some striking defense. He has monster power and a granite chin. I think if he develops his game at a solid rate he should be a contender in a year and a half to two years.
Ortega is a mystery, he continues to win in wild ways that are flashy, but seems to go through large periods in bouts where hes not the dominant fighter but shows promise and has plenty of time to develop.
Yair is ready for the top ten, I think hes continuing to home his flashy style to make it more concentrated and less crazy. His striking looked razor sharp against bj, and he has a solid ground game, top tier physical tools, for being so talented at such a young age, he has a great shot at winning a title in a year or two. I want to see him against someone like lamas whose a wrestler/boxer, or swanson thats a pressure fighter thats above average in all phases of the fight. Plus swanson/yair would be a barn burner and would test him against a fighter with solid boxing who is a threat in other areas.
Bektic has all the tools to be a champion, but his injuries/inactivity make it hard to get a read on him, but hes been absolutely dominant against any fighter out in front of him, hes a physical super freak, insanely powerful and explosive, has a very good blast double both as a counter and a straight forward takedown, brutal ground and pound and a solid understanding of basic/power chokes. He also has a developing standup game where he throws fast and hard, he can rock you good with a powershot but has to develop his defense and chaining his combos further than he already has.
I like bektic most to get a title because his style, physical tools, ceiling and current game.
I would actually love Yair/Bektic and Ortega/Choi.
Ortega would give Choi a great grappling test while choi would test ortegas mettle.
And it would be great to see if Yair can still implement his striking game against the straight boxing and explosive wrestling game of bektic.
