It was like someone picked up a controller and started button mashing. Have you ever played Virtual Fighter 3? That was all Bahamondes.

He was throwing random strikes that were completely out of range, and telegraphed from miles away. He was throwing so many random strikes that did absolutely nothing. His strategy had no rhyme or reason.
The only thing that caused damage were his lower leg kicks.
Is this guy another Leon Edwards?
 
By the end of the first round it was pretty clear he was outclassed in the striking. Fizi has so much more exp and is pretty elite in pure striking.

Bahamondes is a decent striker for MMA, but this wasn't that. He didn't really threaten with anything outside of his kickboxing and just let it be a striking match. He was never going to do too much to a guy like Fiziev with that approach.

His striking was too close in style to Fizi's as well. If he had good pressure boxing or something he might have been able to push forward and cut through Fiziev's MT, but his style is just basic kickboxing.
 
Bad fight IQ.

I think it’s premature to compare him to Leon though. He’s still green and never fought anyone the level of Fiziev. This will be a learning experience for him.

I am more concerned about his lack of TDD and willingness to play the BJJ bottom game. Fiziev was taking him down at will and he made little effort to get back to his feet. He did that against Jalen Turner too. That’s going to be a problem when he faces the wrestlers in the division.
 
i don't understand the Leon Edwards comparison? Leon Edwards is a MUCH better striker. if that was Leon, Leon would've cruised to a decision exploiting the fuck out of his huge reach advantage and would've never been taken down like Bahamondes was.

I've erased the term "point fighter" from my vocabulary.
Anyone that point fights these days is now called Leon Edwards.
You're familiar with the term "Karen" right? And why some women are called Karens.
Well for MMA point fighting, Leon Edwards is the new Karen.
I'm gonna milk that term even after he retires.

It’s his legs
He has stork legs and if they don’t work right he gets wonky and unstable
Imagine walking around with those things much less fighting
 
Imagine figthing 2x against ruffus Justin Gaethje, with every punch or kick being enougth to crack all your Bones.

Them you fougth a lanky guy with 1,91m at 155 pounds. No muscle.

Fiziev is Just a better Striker, and dont need to respect bahamondes puffy punches.
The kid is tallented.
But when you fougth someone so much better than you, seems like you are always taking the wrong decisions
