He doesn't react well to getting hit.

Yea he was a wrestling phenomenon bc he's a pus...

Not everyone transitions to mma well

 

[jeff7b9]

That last line did not age well for him.

 

[this is my new account]

A knee to the mid section makes him a quitter?? Just think about getting hit yourself with that shot. God damn beautiful shots to the mid section. Multiple of them.

Go do research on RDR and put sone respect on his name.

He just doesn’t have that dog in him. Look at wonder boy, gsp, cejudo, topuria, Chandler etc. These guys seem relatively well off without fighting, Bo’s just never been pressure tested

GSP had quitter vibes as well. he tapped to strikes so i don't think he is a good example.

Chandler is the best example. that guy is a beast.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

I feel like he is going to try to go to WW now.

Wat? lol he was already crying about his weight cut to 185 no way in hell he cuts 170 lol

everyone saying this needs to get kneed in the liver by a pro fighter and then see what their quiiter vibes are saying to them. rewatch the fight, RDR was absolutely teeing off to the body and he's a muay thai guy. hate on bo all you want but at least be fair.

 

[Bork Neslar]

He just didn't have an answer to those knees. His kickboxing is rudimentary and his arms are not very long, so his body is vulnerable to kicks and knees against guys with muay thai skills and long limbs. In that sense he's similar to Stipe. Jones exploited that vulnerability too with his extremely long limbs when they fought.
You people are just too judgmental and love to shit on fighters when they lose.

Generally, if you are not that good but your team convinces you that you are, you have a hard lesson coming.

Who knows. Mebbe he'll bounce back. He needs to train with killers for a year; people who give him no respect at all.

It's a hard road. Mebbe he'll go to WWE.

To me it looked like he wasn't prepared to take massive body shots. We've seen people crumble from one shot to the liver or solar plexus. I have to say though...Bo looked tiny next to RDR, could Bo drop a weight class possibly?

 

[BluntForceTrama]

He doesn't react well to getting hit.

Exactly.....

some fighters can tolerate getting hit more than others thats a fact. GSP for instance always said how much he hated getting punched.

after last night I'm firmly in the corner that Bo's on the negative side of this too.

he got hit, made a face, and wanted no more. as close to a punch tap out as you can get

its not just the punch it was his whole performance last night against a mid tier. there was something anemic about it.

 

[Rataria]

He probably drives a Tesla or a Rav4 right?

 

[JoeyJoeJoeJr]

i havent followed mma in like 3 years but im guessing bo lost so he sucks now, nothing has changed

Against a mid tier???? What are you talking about??? Who?? RDR is world class.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

I want to say some people are more durable than others but it's hard to say how hurt Bo was in that fight. Seemed like he folded rather quickly imo.

 

[evergreenrider]

He's got a case of Matt Brown body.

I noticed it a lot during the Bundrage fight when he didn't get Bundrage out early and took some hits, i didnt like how uncomfortable he looked. If you understand fighting you can see it.

Yeah GSP didn't look comfortable taking big hits but he was still tough enough to endure them and use his wrestling. We'll see if Bo can change that narrative. Charles Oliviera was someone I always thought crumbled under adversity but he somehow turned it around so maybe Bo can improve.

Brock Lesnar was another impressive wrestler and specimen but you could tell he didn't react well to getting hit.

Bo needs to travel to a foreign land to train and take inspiration from the movie Kickboxer --

and avenge his own Loss.
