Anyone else really excited about Gokhan Saki’s return?

[2004 account]

Gokhan is one of the fighters I’m looking forward to watching the most this Saturday, I’d like to see if he has incorporated any new moves in his arsenal.

The write up on the sherdog front page mentions that his idol is Fedor and that he emulates his style somewhat.

Cant wait!

Anyone know what time the early pre lims start that night ? It happens to be my daughters birthday so imma have to pull some strings in order to watch the early fights.

Anyways here’s the link, great analysis

Not really excited. He hasnt looked special in mma yet.

 

[Peter Smits]

 

[NationWideNinja]

Nowhere near excited as some of the other fights on the card, but still super excited. So thats saying a lot about this card.

 

[waldywaldy]

I hope he is in shape. He looked sluggish and a little heavy in his first fight. If he gets his hand speed anywhere near where it once was we might be in for a treat

 

[HangNail]

His striking is incredible when he gets it going, but he has some work to do. His wrestling looked serviceable enough but his gas tank is a bit of a question mark. I hope he gets another vicious knockout.

 

[piepie]

Yep Gokhan is must see to me!!!!

im biased tho'

Go Saki make the Netherlands great again

 

[Yari]

Eh, I think people will just expose his weakness and it'll just be another striker put on his back.

 

[OneManGang]

He is old and one dimensional - not remotely close to championship material. However his style is entertaining.

 

[Kenny Powerth]

Yes, very excited but needs to improvement on his MMA striking - kickboxing he’s outstanding.

Roundtree is very average Imo so I like the matchmaking; we will really find out where he’s at.

 

[cambo78]

Always. He brings it win or lose

 

[Badr Hari]

Super excited... saki by submission

 

[Franklin U.]

I have this hunch he's going to lose to roundtree (hope I'm wrong)

 

[LATEXXX COMMANDO]

I'm pumped for his fight, huge fan.

 

[Frank23]

I want to see how his game translates to MMA.

 

[Fadetoblack918]

Hell yea. And to think hes just kickin off the main card.

Saturday night is STACKED

 

[The Half Blood Prince]

of course
He is probably in terms of actual skills not only one of the most decorated striker but probably the best striker to ever grace the octagon.
I mean the guy has spent many years competing in kickboxing and boxing bouts at the highest of levels winning world championships

 

[Stalkingsquid]

What's not to like about him? Crisp fast striking, he got a ko in his debut, and he's a legend. Long as he doesn't have to fight DC or really anyone with a good ground game he's great to have. Adds a bit of a wildcard into the rankings.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

If there ever was somebody that could actually "Head Clean Off" !!!

I don't really know who he is tbh
