Trials are just trials though - It's just a weird career path, not a knock on him - . I wonder if he regrets it now that this cycle has ended.
No criticism though, Logan Steiber didn't even make the team, and I think Brent Metcalf was part of this cycle too.
Just rough for him, I hope he doesn't suck at MMA.
He's fought gold gloves and stuff not like he's a Brock who doesn't like being hit. It's all good he's young I imagine he'll stick to 145 now. He could be like Brock though and refuse easy fights which could be a problem
Don't think I ever noticed how sculptured his eyebrows are. Very Alvarezesque.
Floyd is 49-0. Conor is 0-0-0.This fight shouldn't have been sanctioned.
On what planet does it make sense to have someone with a 0-0-0 professional record and zero amateur MMA experience match up with a veteran of 11 professional fights?
They wanted to keep him away from the strabanimal. It would have been young vs. young had 1 prospect slayed (pico), instead feed the young buck an old bum...This fight shouldn't have been sanctioned.
On what planet does it make sense to have someone with a 0-0-0 professional record and zero amateur MMA experience match up with a veteran of 11 professional fights? Zach also had 5 amateur bouts, and went 12-0 combined before his first loss.
Someone who's fought 16 times -vs- someone who's literally never fought anywhere ever. This is how people get hurt.
Also worth noting, Pico wrestled 66kg and should be a featherweight. Bellator really screwed this thing up.
The future fought on the undercard and tapped out former LHW champion machida.The future of MMA just got rocked, dropped and submitted in less than 30 seconds. This is the most brutal hype-train derailment I've ever seen.
