Glover is the underdog for a very good reason.
Rumble coming for gold.
Rumble coming for gold.
Glover has nothing for dc.Rumble will beat glover like he beat phil davis or bader.Rooting for Glover and I think he'll make it look easy. Why would anyone want to see DC vs. Rumble again? At least Glover is a fresh match.
Good point. Glover has to close the distance earlier, going for a clinch to wear Rumble out to reduce his power earlier on, Glover´s boxing also works better in the short range, while Rumble´s at long range. Glover isn´t Cain Velasquez, but he needs to use that type of fight against Rumble until he can get a takedown and work his gnp until Rumble gives his back for a rear naked choke. All Rumble needs to do is keep Glover at the end of his punches and kicks and land a big one.The same way he beat Rumble's stunt double:
OSP is another fighter with great KO power and a poor gas tank. AJ does have better TDD but that won't matter after Glover has knocked him down and worn him out against the cage.
And just last year:
Rumble has a long history of choking under pressure. If he can't knock you out right away, you will likely win the fight. He turns into a panic wrestler (see the Vitor fight) and gets RNC'd every time.
AJ will be surprised that another fighter is getting in his face, as Glover is a pressure fighter, he'll spam/panic some right hands that won't win him the fight, and Glover will dominate from there.

Glover won't throw a front kick like that. Won't be so easy to counter. Still a GREAT KO from Rumble. That one gave me nightmares.
Grappling and insane BJJGlover's recent outings are mediocre at best. I have still yet to see what other people have seen in Glover's performances that has earned him such high praise.
