An unranked guy fought an aging ranked contender. The aging ranked contender still had something left in the tank to beat an unranked guy; imo Jared doesn’t deserve much for this win.

I think it should be mentioned robocop is 32 and Cannonier is 40 but robocop looks about 48.

Guy just needs to move to LHW and hope that he can go far with his limited gas tank. Exciting fighter, but his stamina fails him, at least at MW.

thats the most logical move and would be exciting. so many killers either way. poatan just idling in the stands stone faced.

Normally, I don't buy post fight excuses, but I really do think that robocop has better cardio than the last fight.

 

[Spath]

He’s one of biggest MWs ever. He’s fucking huge, no idea how he makes weight. I’m not surprised at all that he was in trouble rehydrating and recovering, simply making weight is a W.

Move to LHW would be optimal IMO. He’s pretty quick for a big guy like that and he certainly is strong enough. He could be ranked 10-15 with a win or two, easy

dude is bigger than most LHWs trying to fight at MW, might be the biggest MW in UFC history other than alex

 

[Hymen Crusher]

Move up bad weight cut is a mistake like leaving your chin out . Your a pro train like one

 

[tritestill]

Fight at LHW BRO

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Guy just needs to move to LHW and hope that he can go far with his limited gas tank. Exciting fighter, but his stamina fails him, at least at MW.

I think he can improve his cardio a bit and also pace himself better. He is skilled but his striking defense is also suspicious.

I was worried by his chin but it held up pretty well. Jared hurts everybody and it took him some time to put Robocop out.

 

[volcom5]

Fighters from countries other than Russia & US, gets a pass in my book. Weight cutting is essentially a science and it’s predominantly an American culture in cutting lots of weight. Hell the Dagestan fighters just figured it out after moving to AKA.

 

[RockyLockridge]

A lot of people saying move up gonna hop on that bandwagon especially cause lhw is thin

Yeah but the difference is Pereira was skinny and emaciated at that weight, RoboCop is already jacked and LHW is another 20 lbs higher, it's a huge jump that most can't successfully make.

 

[Poirierfan]

I really respect how fighters never make any excuses after losses.

 

[188912345]

Win or lose, he's a very fun fighter. I would also like to see him try his luck at LHW.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Well no shit, you're enormous and my age. Stop cutting 30lbs to 185 and fight at 205. Wish more guys would be like Jiri.

 

[Hdfi]

move to LHW, bruh.
His cardio and chin would improve.

 

[Edward Henry Greb]

He should stop lifting weights and trying to be a bodybuilder. All big-muscle guys gas out, after they moved their over-sized muscles for a few rounds. It's just the way it is.

Robocop has power, but he'll never have stamina with big swollen muscles like that. The two are mutually-exclusive.
