The karate olumpian guy who ko’d his opponent and lost. Gable gonna smoke everyone with 18 mos. strike trng? Tarek Hamdi could probably drill TDD for 7 mos. and be starching everyone with his feet. the hamdi era is nigh.

 
We'll see if he can pull the trigger when under pressure, something Wonderboy has failed to do at times, a lot

Honestly, bring him over. Why not? I'd love to see it.

I will warn that...wrestling is the area of a fighter's game that improves the slowest. Particularly that he would need to learn to adapt his style of striking to MMA as well, in all likelihood, Hamedi would never be able to defend well against a good wrestler.

That said, you know, why put him against a wrestler? He's 23, he's young, he's got plenty of time to learn. Teach him some MMA striking, bring him over to the UFC, put him against some solid strikers and see the fireworks. I mean, if he produces one Buckley or Barboza level KO then it'll be worth it. Great for us fans.

There's a reason very few people that haven't been wrestling in some form their whole lives tend be more on the striker side. There's a bigger learning curve to grappling than striking to get competent in the UFC.
 
I can't say what I want you to do because I would get banned.
Cringe thread is cringe.
 
Its hard to say, learning wrestling and being quick to naturally sprawl is a lot harder to learn/train as an adult. Especially a specialist striker that may have too many built-in instinct stuff that leaves him exposed to TDs. Some people simply “cant spot the lion” and give up their hips on any TD attempt.

He'll need more than just TDD. He'll need western boxing and learn how to check leg kicks, plus clinch fighting. Also learn how to throw combinations. But with TDD it's all dependent on the person, some people can learn it faster than others.
