Could prime Eddie Wineland have given Ilia problems?

Rock solid chin, hits like a mini-truck and had cardio…


Don’t necessarily think Eddie could beat Topuria but def could have been interesting.

The bantamweight?

I give him credit for sort of putting the blueprint out there on dealing with Renan, but he fought with zero defense, and that was at a weight class below.

God no!

He was a big bantamweight…minus weight cut Eddie would be no joke

yes. with his stiff upright stance, and his chin hanging in the air like a ship's sail he'd have definitely given a power punching counter boxer problems...

I have him getting knocked dead by Barao as one of my all time most disgusted moments of this sport...

Good god these threads need to stop

I was an Eddie fan for a bit
He would of got starched early
Moustache and all

I'm a huge Wineland fan dating back to the WEC days. But absolutely not...what kind of thread is this

I like your breakdown but i don’t think you see the full picture.

People were saying Max with his reach would be Topuria’s downfall and well…

Barao was no joke until TrTJ Dillaroid beat the confidence out of him

If you can’t analyze a matchup then quit your crying simp

Love Eddie, but like others have already said, his lack of defense is a perfect storm for an accurate power puncher like Ilia

 

[MigitAs]

OP should be demoted to Yellow belt for this preposterousness imo.

anybody who thought Max's reach was going to be problematic is a casual who doesn't know shit about MMA. Max doesn't have a long reach and in fact, had the same exact reach as Ilia.

Max's striking volume, cardio, and body work is what anyone who studies MMA would say could've been problematic for Ilia, not his fucking reach....

Once again you fail to see the basics…i meant reach with his kicks which were in fact giving Ilia problems

F off with your obvious troll threads on ridiculous match-ups. People actually did watch back then so don't try to make Wineland seem like something he wasn't. He would get absolutely smoked
