Gegard toughest matchup today.

[Kono dio da!]

If he hadn't left the ufc, who would be his toughest matchup in the top 10 and why? What does he do well particularly and who would negate it? What's his biggest hangup stylistically apart from the obvious one? The one king mo and Weidman used to varying degrees of success.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Style Bender ... for belt and current 185 king.

 

[Reydereyes]

Could beat and be beaten by the top 5 to 10. Any top 5 smokes him, there's a reason he is fighting at bellator (he's not even the champ there lol)

Like the lyoto match but worse?

so curious as to who could be in this top 5

 

[markg171]

He's looked like donkey ass since he left, so probably everybody.

The guy who beat him was so roided up that even Brock was like “damn”

 

[Mammothman]

He would have destroyed Whitaker, Till and fat Kelvin, I also would favor him over Hermasson and Cannoier, he might have struggled with Romero and Adesanya

He lost to an unranked 9-0 nobody with a brain condition that stops him from further fighting lol. Calm down.

I think he would have had the belt at one point if he stuck around.

I would have favored him over Weidman, Rockhold, Bisping and Whittaker. GSP I think would have beaten him, due to his wrestling, which is interesting because I don’t think GSP fairs all that well with most top 5 MWs of that era.

Izzy is a tough match for him, but not impossible.

Yoel pre Whittaker might have pulled off the magic Yoel 3rd round KO, but I think Moose beats current Yoel.

 

[theTKDguy]

I think he beats till and gastelum.

Hermansson puts on his wrestling shoes and grinds him. Adesanya outpoints him. Whittaker and Cannonier are good fights, i favour them tho (think they mix tds and striking). Yoel who tf knows, he's past it

I've seen way more yoked guys, but the bright red skin tone speaks volumes really...

 

[KID Yamamoto]

Whittaker has a lot of the same Karate assets Lyoto had but isn't as long. Would need to blitz a lot when Gegard commits on his jab.

Balsy of you to make a Gegard thread on sherdog that implies he could lose. The dudes fanbase is a cult.

I am calm, you’re the one acting like a jerkoff

But he did leave the UFC so he wouldn't have to fight the top Middleweights

He didn't look very good against Shlemenko either.

Ya mad ya boi got beat by an unranked nobody who can't even fight due to a brain condition so you blamed it out of nowhere on steroids.
