No he didnt. Did you even watch the fight? He dropped Overeem in the final 5 seconds, Overeem jumped back up instantly with a fucked up lip. Had the ref allowed the final 3 seconds to run out Overeem would have won that decision easily.
So now you see when something is wrong. Do you agree Ghita at Saki was injured by illegal sweep wrongly counted by Ubeda?
You tried to present some angle that the UFC sucked because Rozenstruik was a top fighter there, while being average in SuperKombat, thus propping up SuperKombat.
Right, but in Superkombat he was below average, not average, even mediocre since he was released. He has 0 great win all of his Kickboxing career. 2 wins over Adegbuyi in his 1st year of kickboxing not just of pro-kickboxing (Adegbuyi won the rematch), and Abena at his start also. He only owns the puncher"s chance, pretty slow. Also has draw against a very young Jahfarr Wilnis. He went winning after Superkombat, because he entered regional promotions.
Now I don"t want to talk badly about him, but this is the truth. We are here to talk about competitors also. But in Superkombat he only won by accident and puncher"s chance, and a majority decision over Falin. At that time even Vladimir Tok(tasynov) was crap, he developed a little bit later into a decent fighter (not solid). But Falin had a very mediocre career. And I know the Polish coach of the Germans, and also the Surinamese coach of Jairzinho.
And HW Kickboxing is different how exactly?
Well, we do have a good streak going with your King Rico Verhoven. I'll give you that, but outside of Rico the division is a disaster.
Fact is he's average in the UFC too, and the reality is HW in MMA is every bit as shallow as Kickboxing.
HOW? Verhoeven, Ben Saddik, Adegbuyi and Hari are world class competitors, not semi-bums like Junior dos Santos and Overeem. What"s wrong with you? Do we compare JDS and Overeem even with Kryklia? Or with Adegbuyi and Hari? Adegbuyi is still hungry to demolish bums like JDS and Overeem. None is really old in kickboxing"s rankings. Cormier is ok, but Ngannou is just a weightlifter. And Volkov lost to bloody Tony Johnson (was beaten by a D Polish in Superkombat by KO), 11th is a no name Bulgarian. Lol, and Oleinik is now in MMA. Hilarous stuff.
WTF, man? Moroșanu has been never top 10, but somewere in top 20. Wilnis is out of top 10. Andrei Stoica now fighting as a HW, he will probably enter top 10 if manages not to lose by KO against Kryklia. Demolished Anderson Silva. I would even place my money on Cozmâncă beating JDS and Overeem on striking. Sometimes fights as a HW now, and he is not really at the level of Stoica. In fact, even Brestovac some years ago was really a solid fighter, when he was active. KOed Wilnis. So the state of the MMA is just bad. And the HW in kickboxing is not even in the worst last 2 division. IN FACT, the lightweights are poorer now, be careful (!). Samedov is still fighting, Londt is 10th in kickboxing. LONDT TAKES THE SCALP OF ROZENSTRUIK! There was huge difference between them, you cannot even imagine. An overweight and less active Londt almost KOed Badr Hari. Londt didn"t provide in Glory, because they didn"t keep him active and at K-1 he may have sold the final. But he used to be a beast. Trained well at the level of world class. OHHHH, I forgot about Raul Cătinaș, he is also back! Cătinaș with MMA gloves would murder somebody, ask Gustafsson.
If you find me a Final 8 in UFC/MMA, I give up on this forum! Besides an overrated Miocic and a Cormier who is not really a HW, there is no one.
Cormier wouldn"t enter in the group Verhoeven, Ben Saddik, Adegbuyi, Hari and even Kryklia. There are 5 kickboxers for a Final 8, also Londt and Wilnis can be well trained, and of course Cătinaș (because I would place my money on Cătinaș against both Moroșanu and Cozmâncă). And why not Samedov... We can still make a Tokyo final! Don"t forget Ghiță is still also active, and trained well would probably demolish current Overeem even without years of activity. JDS and Alistair are trash right now, must retire, but are there for milking money.
And furthermore, in kickboxing there is room for other names to grow up or to move from the LHW to the HW. I personally think Murat Aygun is not attractive at all and still quite slow, but I am waiting for some improvement.
Cozmâncă is one of them. Fabio Kwasi why not, certainly Ibrahim El Bouni.
PS. I forgot about Khbabez, Khbabez is right after Verhoeven, Ben Saddik, Adegbuyi, Hari and Kryklia right now. Not really a classic HW though but taller than Cormier I think. Khbabez is an unbelievable talent, if Cătinaș hits hard, Khbabez is a fast light-heavyweight.
So just because you don"t know exactly all the kickboxers, it"s not my fault. I also don"t even know all of them now, because without It"s Showtime/SK in Europe, they fight regionally. Khbabez is not top 10 now anymore, but would kill Mannart, Innocente, maybe even Marshall who kind of improved but wasn"t big in Superkombat. AT LHW, Khbabez is top 3-4 (real top 3 is Vakhitov, Zhuravlev and Abena). Only Vakhitov and Zhuravlev are competitive for him. And Stoica of course, who also doesn"t rank. Stoica demolished Hameur Lain, his brother also, Hameur Lain is there. LHW rankings are crap. El Bouni and Kwasi are also better. Khbabez, Stoica, Kwasi, El Bouni and Cozmanca migrated between 2 divisions though. You talk HW is crap, but LHW"s top 10 on Combat Press is much poorer. But in fact the LHW is a great division, just that many are outside Combat Press" top 10. These Americans know nothing, only taking the names from Glory. And Glory does not afford to reunite all. Stoica left Superkombat because he wanted more than 30k, he was fighting for 30-50k. In Glory, there are a few with better purses and many champions not. In ONE Kryklia and Stoica probably receive better.
