How can you even say Izzy is less of a 1 dimensional fighter than Francis? Izzy has only ever won by decision or KO/TKO. Where as Francis has 4 submission wins in his career and wrestled more in his last 2 UFC fights than Izzy has in entire MMA career.
When did I say he was the greatest wrestler ever? I simply said he was not 1 dimensional. I've no idea why you're reaching like that.
Fair point but he retired on top after being undefeated for many years, if anyone deserves the benefit of doubt they could have continued defending the belt it's georges
Was the victim of the jokertine before people even knew what that was
Bro, he subbed Anthony Hamilton come on.
And Aspinall is a ground wiz right? Yet his best sub win is Volkov who has 3 sub losses. The bar for heavyweight grappling is very low. Ngannou is definitely not one dimensional. He has 4 different sub wins, armbar, kimura, arm triangle choke and guillotine. He outgrappled Stipe and took his back in their last fight.
Francis has the touch of death. Would you opt to grapple as the first option when you can just touch their chin and get them out of there? I know if I was Francis wrestling wouldn't be my first option either. I don't think it's fair to judge Francis on the Lewis fight. He was clearly not himself there. I don't agree regarding Arvloski, he actually has submission wins and has grappled in his past fights. We've yet to see Sergai do any kind of grappling nor does he have a submission win to his name. Not to mention he got tooled by Oldereem in the clinch and looked like a lost child off his back before getting finished. Sergei being well rounded is a myth.
That's a bit different because Aspinall's dad is a BJJ guy and Tom has been training since he was a child. Ngannou went to France in hopes of getting boxing training.
I'm damn near always somewhere in the middle, it's true lol
