Matt Lindland in modern day MMA

[wrestlefan]

Could he smoother Adesenya?

 

[sabretitan]

No. Maybe in his prime he'd win a few rounds. But adesanya would eventually catch him

 

[ninja boot]

for sure he could because hey, ain't nobody smoother than matt "the law" lindland

 

[DIRTYCOP]

He almost beat Fedor......almost

Matt Lindland > Phil Baroni > Ryo Chonin > Anderson Silva > Forrest Griffin > Shogun Rua > Corey Anderson > Jan Blachowicz > Israel Adesanya.

The MMA Math seems to support this...

too one dimensional.

too one dimensional.

Colby is probably the 2nd best WW on the planet & I don't consider his striking to be very good at all. Granted, its a different weight class but historically, MMA has been very good to great wrestlers, even when their striking isn't very good. Stylistically, its not a easy fight for Adesanya (yes, I'd still favour Adesanya of course)

Matt Lindland in modern mma still wouldn't wash his ass 2 weeks out from a fight.
