Curtis Blaydes is Corey Anderson 2.0

[Ragnus]

Literally, they both have the exact same problem, striking and wrestling are good but they are terrible at blending the 2 together. Blayde's takedowns are really good but they are so obvious, he doesn't hide the takedowns with strikes.

So...essentially what you're saying is...there's levels to this?

it's funny because they both have the same attitude where they think the UFC owes them something but then they get KO'd in every high profile fight that would get them a title shot.

 

[Muay Thai #1]

Lewis really is just a bit better version of Anderson

[ExitLUPin]

Actually a good comparison

shows how horrible HW is that Blaydes is a top 5 HW of this era lmaooooo

Funny and sad at the same time haha. Blaydes is a good guy, but I agree, every time it was his opportunity to step up, he got knocked down, and then tried to complain that the UFC didn't care about him, and favored Fighters that draw attention and had bigger names.

I like Blaydes and the dude is clearly talented, but there's only one person at fault for the reason his career hasn't taken off, and it isn't Dana.

 

[KoChang]

Blades will never make it to the top. That entry was brutal and he does it all the time. See you in Bellator.

 

[Headkicktoleg]

Phil Davis too.

Corey was #4 when he left. Sooo... then LHW is terrible too?

Blaydes is a good fighter. You were saying the same dhit about Lewis on the pbp thread

 

[MMAProfessional]

Lewis knew he couldn't hurt him. He was waiting for the uppercut takedown counter. You could tell Blades kinda knew that which is why he didn;t shoot for a while.

Yes LHW is terrible. You know 41yo Glover is the #1 contender right?

 

[The Dark Haze]

Plus they both have questionable chins

 

[Mammothman]

They both are so annoying too

 

[Ace70 V2]

Lewis really is just a bit better version of Anderson

 

[SCTwins]

Sleepin' 25/8

 

[Willy Knuckles]

Phil Davis too.

Nah not really, Davis was never KO'd like Anderson and Blaydes

 

[GOATweight]

Yes LHW is terrible. You know 41yo Glover is the #1 contender right?

Yes. I agree with you.

There are some good fighters coming up though. Ankalaev is the future champ imo. Jiri is good too. Rakic has looked like a potential contender as well.
