Yair's hands are very mediocre. He's not very effective striking in the pocket. More than half of his wins were by unimpressive decisions. Yair ain't no wrestler.we know he has a gas tank,he has more than just punches,isn't flat footed,he has wrestling on top of his striking
Beating BJ Penn these days is impressive, you know.lol before the Swanson fight, everyone on Sherdog swore that DHC would KO Yair in 1 round and now he's a journeyman who'd get schooled.
Sherdog- where everyone is either a can or a GOAT.Beating BJ Penn these days is impressive, you know.
hahaha THIS is so fuckin true. i read the same shit here on Sherdoglol before the Swanson fight, everyone on Sherdog swore that DHC would KO Yair in 1 round and now he's a journeyman who'd get schooled.
All this talk of Choi being like Conor
LOL
I cant see them putting Yair against a guy coming off a loss. He may get Cub though. I think that fight makes sense. Not that sense means anything these daysIve been 3/3 in my calls for predicted matchups for Choi subsequent his arrival into the UFC.
Of course I couldn't have seen the Puig fight being his first, but I called a pool of three that included Sicilia in his subsequent fight. Then I saw Thiago Tavares being the next victim and most definitely saw Swanson as the next perfect fight for him although I had him winning that one convincingly which wasn't the case at all.
For his next fight I think the next logical step for the two is each other. To me the timing is perfect with Choi coming off his bad loss where he nearly got knocked out. Yair is a good matchup for Choi plus Yair isn't as good a striker in the hands department which is something Choi might need at this point. Defeating someone who has pulled the wool over some as Yair has in this Penn defeat would set Choi up with a top 5 opponent.
Yair comes off an impressive win off a clearly depleted Penn who seemed like he last fought 50 years ago. A win off someone who has instantly become legitimate like Choi would catapult the kid into the next level.
Choi destroys Yair though in the end so it all for naught anyway.
What in the fuck are you basing this on???Yair has a much better offense than Cub

Watching them both fight ....... u see something different?What in the fuck are you basing this on???![]()
I see a guy who spams low percentage spinning kicks and jumping kicks. Cub showed more effective offense in the Choi fight than Yair has in all of his UFC fights combined.Watching them both fight ....... u see something different?
Another fighter is only good as last fight.Choi simply is not nearly as good as hype. He has no defense ....... kid has heart, a chin , and is really fun to watch but he's not really next level material. Yair beats him easily. Yair has a much better offense than Cub and Cub wrecked him. But I agree would be a fun fight but I think Cub should get that fight.
