Phillips gets mauled; 0-2 SBG

[daltonames]

Aside from Conor, Gunnar is the only other fighter out of SBG in the UFC to have any consistent success. Honestly, i think the camp is just overrated because of Conor.

I think Kavanagh is in a predicament like Firas had, where his most successful fighter retires, that lowers the level of training in the gym, and then he goes from an incredibly winning record to a losing one. The game also moves along fast, so possibly he is just a step behind.

Jackson wink too

Jackson wink too

Oh yeah. Isn’t Jackson’s on a fat losing streak lol.
Édit: not losing streak but over last year they’ve just been losing a lot. Right?

What is kavanagh good at? His bjj credentials have recently been questioned and Conor brought in danis as his bjj coach instead.

You make a fair point in all fairness about Kavanaghs questionable coaching ability but "Londonjitsu"..?? If that's not a contradiction in terms I don't know what is?

How so?
I train combat sambo and jiu jitsu in London.
I am not however taking money off people with potential and sending them to get beaten up unprepared.

SBG is an overrated gym. Allstars is better in Europe

 

[Bill Laimbeer]

Don’t ever compare Firas to Kavanaugh. First off guys like Rory are still there. Plus Firas has a brilliant mind. Kavanaug is supposedly a BJJ specialist and his fighters are absolutely clueless grappling

Firas has s a better coach and has many good fighters still but Rory left a while ago for his old gym didn’t he? I could be wrong and maybe he is back at Tri-Star.

Nah I think you're right. He trains back home now.

Not a fair comparison at all.

First off, GSP never stopped training. Secondly, Zahabi has several other fighters who, while nowhere near the level that GSP was, are legit UFC-level fighters.

Without Conor's stardom, we never would have heard of most of the SBG fighters much less actually seen them fight in the UFC.

I mean really who does SBG have that's truly elite outside Conor? Gunnar? Lobov? Neither are top tier

I would say Gunnar is top tier (Lobov is not) but what made him top (BJJ and Karate) he developed before he joined SBG. I always wondered why Gunnar isnt the BJJ coach at SBG. He is by far the most capable.

 

[chukutee]

Best part is that Kavanagh spent years posting "waiting for that UFC call" memes on twitter with Phillips. And then he gets mounted and choked out in seconds.

Maybe should have spent that time training with a proper coach

By that I assume your admitting to the shortcoming of your ability ergo reinforcing my point.

Gunnar spends most of his time at Mjölnir in Iceland in fairness.
