I know what I'm watching better than most.


Although I will always acknowledge some potential for flaw. Admittedly in this case I didn't put as much thought or study tape as much as I usually do before giving an opinion.


He trains with Adesanya and city boxing.

Is anyone an untechnical brawler out of that gym?

Although I would add that I like him best when he uses his length, controls and dictates the range and fights a more intelligent , calculated in and out chess match. Imo. Like we see from Adesanya and Volk.

That's why I picked him to upset Poirier, I expected a more thoughtful strategy.

He's demonstrated that he has the repertoire and mind to do this but allows himself to get drawn into these brawls and it doesn't serve him. He can go to war with the best of them, but I think moving forward he needs to adopt a more intelligent approach, much like Darren Till did after getting lured into the war with Masvidal.

I'll go back and watch it again tho and see what I see. There's probably a lot of details I'm misremembering. Everything is always fluid and subject to change. Nothing is set in stone. I'm always looking to add or even change my thought process completely in the interest of truth and evolution.




Not long from now you will realize that i see many layers of the game that you do not. Only you are too stubborn and ironically too full of ego to realize it. At that point, you will be forced to show respect

You should prepare to eat all of your words in a way that you won't ever be able to come back from.

Or at the very least you will stop pretending you are the superior martial artist and mind between us when deep down in your soul, you know that's the furthest thing from the truth.


Hopefully after all is said and done, you drop your little tirade and start focusing on what I'm actually saying. Far from perfect but I bring more to the table than most
, You just ever bother to approach debating me positively, intelligently and with an open mind. Instead you try your hardest to take everything I say out of context and as absolute, with no room for niche or variability.

It's ironic and hypocritical because you said werdum would serve someone like me..but yet it's you who is demonstrating your ego and stubbornness.

All that said, I appreciate the motivation. I let my skills slip this year and I needed a little boost to get my shit together again. Im happy my martial arts Is getting to where it needs to be again and I'm genuinely excited to put something out. Beyond just you, think I'm gonna shock a lot of people closest to me in terms of just how much I've improved training myself.. lol


It's taken a bit longer than expected to put something up. ACL flare ups kinda fucked with me for a bit. But it's not far.


Anyways I'll leave it at that. I don't care to argue and beat a dead horse with you beyond this. We'll just address it again when it goes down.

Respect to all fighters, regardless of any piss taking that is a given around here. Ultimately step into an Octagon then you have my respect.
 
If the UFC were cooler we would get an 8-man LW tournament:

McGregor vs Poirier II
Ferguson vs Oliveira
Gaethje vs Hooker
RDA vs Chandler
 
Garethje is my third favorite fighter but I think hooker will beat him
 
There are no boring fights in the.top 10 at LW. No matchups displease me.
 
Hooker has put on two of the best fights of 2020. I'd rather see Hooker fight Tony or Chandler. Who knows though Hooker might try to grapple Gaethje to victory after seeing the Khabib fight.
 
You know the division is full of journeymen when Hooker is calling out the #1 contender.
