In every fight he does this. To keep his opponent at a distance? Seems like a waste of energy. As a non-fighter I don't get this, but there must be a reason for it.
Basically his whole style is to nullify his opponents offense. Those kicks keep range and make the other fighter hesitant to engage, same with why he clinches when his opponents do get into range to land punches.
I think it's hilarious everyone on Sherdog hates him so much, I mean the guys not anything special he will never crack the top 5 but he does what he has to do to win fights.
He is one of the worst fighters I have ever seen
In fact I wouldnt even call him a fighter
Fighting seems to just be a way for him to advance his career and grow his name
To that end he has absolutely no boxing (gotta protect that face right), his kicks are slow, land about 30% of the time and do no damage, he is a wall and staller of the highest degree
When a fighter puts on a shit performance they often voice their displeasure post-fight, this guy makes every fight a shit performance and a shit watch for fans then is all smiles afterwards
A disgrace that he is on main cards
That occurred to me, that those kicks are a sign of incompetence, but how can that be...look at his record.Because he's just not very good.
He broke a guys arm with those kicks in an earlier ufc fight. He may not be the most explosive or exciting fighter but hes effective at breaking people. Did you see mutante's face between round 2 and 3? His head was down and he looked mentally broken.
Elias is doing something right. People saying hes the worst are dumb, he has beaten some decent fighters in the ufc already
His record is filled with regional circuit bums, and top 50+ guys who have no business in the UFC, like Vitor's little pet Cezar who is protected and given a million chances.That occurred to me, that those kicks are a sign of incompetence, but how can that be...look at his record.
You are entitled to your opinion but in my opinion he is absolutely awful
I know its not all his fault some blame goes to his opponents but go watch his last 3 fights and then tell me I'm wrong
