Media Damir Ismagulov sees Justin Gaethje as an “easy” target

[Brigfa2]

I've been saying it for a while, Damir would pick Justin apart. Quicker, amazing defensively, better boxing, great takedown defense, better conditioning and the best jab at Lightweight. I think he's a tough matchup for a lot of guys if he hasn't begun to fall off, him and Guram both.

And you are still wrong

 

[Escabar]

Damir has possibly the best boxing in the division he could possibly hit and move to a decision of Justin. Style wise he matches up better better with him then the other top guys. Although Justin could chop him down with low kicks.

This fight is never happening lol so I really wouldn't put too much thought into thinking about it.

 

[ThaiSexPills]

It’s always funny to hear guys call a dude who isn’t even top 10 the best at anything in the division. What has he done? Meh. Justin is battle tested and would swarm him. He’s criminally underrated on here. Rewatch the Fiziev fight please doubters

 

[AMAZINGUFC]

Dawson UD

 

[markantony20]

Weren't you also confident that Rafael was going to beat Justin?

HuskySamoan despite the name seems to really pull for Russian and Central Asian fighters.

 

[TITS]

How is this bum even ranked?

 

[AmonTobin]

The day Gaethje stops fighting his best fight, will be a sad day.
Big words there. Never bring a kitten into it buddy. Faux pas. Bad play.

Man, Damir had a lot of freaking hype going into the Tsarukyan fight and I remember a lot of folks around here had him winning that fight - I'm a Tsarukyan fan (that Gamrot fight was awesome despite him losing)

I had no clue who was going to win between Fiziev & Goethe. I thought Fiziev had more and deeper standup experience and would be the better fighter there - dead wrong on that one.

As far as Damir and Gaethje, just like everyone has said, "leg kicks" - Gaethje's are just nasty, fast and brutal. Oh yeah, it's MMA, not boxing.

 

[LordHellraiser]

How he gonna beat up Gaethje when he about lose to Dawson though?

 

[nonoob]

He’s criminally underrated on here

ANYONE that "sees" Justin as an "easy target" needs glasses - or a psychiatrist.

He's being raped by #15 currently.

Dawson is schooling this boy, better than Tsarukyan.

Grant put him in a full nelson and was laughing with his corner about it.

Yeh it's hard to come back from that. Embarrassing

 

[wh4tttt]

Think his blinking eye has mislead him in reading gaethje

Good night. Maybe we won't have to hear anymore Sherdog overrated love of Guram and Damir.
We only had ONE Khabib. Islam M. is awesome. Maybe Arman is very good but I'm not convinced. But those other two don't need to be talked about any more.

Gaethje's boxing is better than Damir's

God it was sickening how much this place overrated those guys. People were fucking HAMMERING me for saying those guys possibly aren't top-5 material.
