Michael Johnson busting up Edson Barboza

Seen his fights? The dude has rekt the fighters he should win...but can't get past the tougher fights. I got him winning vs Gaethje only because I though he'll able to pick Justin apart...but no...he has to go for broke and play right into Gaethje's game...
ikr all he had to do was keep the distance from one of the best pressure fighters today
 
Khabib rided him for 3 rounds. It was like an interracial porn.
 
The way he generates power is odd, all his shots are thrown like shovel hooks but his movement is very technically sound.

His striking is somehow technical and bad looking at the same time. His punches look like he's pawing at them. Fun striker to watch for sure. Barboza usually struggles against fighters with good hands.
Yep

Anyone with good hands that pressures Barboza will find success, Jamie Varner fucked him up lol
 
Wait. I thought Barboza has a "glass chin" and dies when you hit him with a jab?
 
This was a fun fight. MJ has serious speed and power in those hands. Love watching MJ fight.
 
Barboza wilts against high pressure guys that won't up and fold to his heavy shots
long story short MJ is a bad stylistic matchup for him
 
I'd take MJ in a rematch over Gaethje tbh.
I got him on it as well. He just needs to stick to the plan and not fight fire with fire. He's more technical but if he goes toe to toe with Gaethje...it won't end well again.

EDIT: Wait, are you meaning SHOVEL hooks?
 
Barboza is 4-1 in his last 5. Johnson is 1-4 in his last 5. I think that matters way more.

Not when the guy who is 1-4 would whoop the guy who is 4-1 again with ease. Barboza had nothing for Mikey J
 
Michael Johnson is turning into a gigantic waste of talent
Dude has no fight IQ once he gets hit

Couldn't have said it better myself if he could ever put together thinking his way through a entire fight with actual fighting he would be a lethal LW...
 
Barboza has got to be the strangest fighter i have ever seen. So inconsistent it's astounding
