Anderson never fought an elite striker?

[DapperDave]

Anyone who could punch the Spider so hard that he wobbled or went out, is an elite striker.

Hence Cheal, Weidman, and Bisping are all elite strikers.

 

[HHJ]

Izzy had his hands full with Gastelum. Vitor (or Anderson) would destroy Gastelum.

He's already beaten Vitor
I dont think younger Vitor would either.
Gastelum is very very difficult to finish for anyone.
Actually,its never been done via strikes.

 

[Skarsgard]

We doing this thread again?

 

[HHJ]

Vitor is WAY faster than Costa

That didnt help him against Anderson. It wouldnt against Adesanya either.

But go on tell me what you wish would happen because you dont like Izzy

 

[HHJ]

We got Anti Fedor and Anti Anderson and Anti Khabib threads this week. Who is left? GSP? Aldo?

You guys that bored? lol

 

[Ibm]

Anderson is the best striker to ever step foot in combat sports

There can only be one true God his godliness Dan Hendo Henderson

 

[ryun253]

Chris Weidman outstruck him twice

 

[ferrisjso]

He fought Hendo but I'm convinced Hendo wins the rematch same as with Wandy.

Belforts a dangerous striker but at that point AS's aura was in his head.

I do like Bispings chances against prime AS if he wasn't afraid. Rockhold was probably the best MW in the world when they were both champ. I don't think anyone would pick AS over Romero if they had to put money on it.

Yeah pillow fisted Sonnen showed that AS really didn't expect people to come after him on the feet and didn't really have an answer for it. Even Franklin vaguely remember them doing a lot of circling before AS got him. Passiveness is what gave AS time to make KO reel art.

Yushin Okami, Victor Belfort

This shitty thread again???

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Vitor had fast hands but I dont think anyone would really call him an elite striker from a technical perspective, or from the perspective that he'd have done particularly well in a pure striking sport (beating Holyfield joke in 3....2). He was also much shorter with a shorter reach than Izzy or Alex.

 

[doggo]

No I dont think so. Israel would beat Vitor like he beat Costa.

The exact same way too, by mental destruction leading to a tko.

Fuck that Sakuraba guy

 

[HHJ]

Fuck that Sakuraba guy

 

[Hazuki Ryo]

No I dont think so. Israel would beat Vitor like he beat Costa.

And even against them (chael, marquadt, Hendo), he found a way to finish them easily. First fight with Sonnen he had a broken rib

 

[the ambush]

No TRTor here. Obviously all natty!!

No known weaknesses

Was he a super hero?

 

[I WILL CUT YOU]

No known weaknesses

Was he a super hero?

No, Brazilian.

 

[cheesus]

Vitor Belfort
Hendo
Franklin
Patrick Cote
Forrest Griffin

Forrest Griffin an elite striker hahahaha

 

[I WILL CUT YOU]

He's already beaten Vitor
I dont think younger Vitor would either.
Gastelum is very very difficult to finish for anyone.

15 year age difference, 41 year old deflated Vitor.

But you knew that when you answered. Still mad about the Khabib thread huh? Never pictured you for a Hot Tub Bro. Too bad.
