Is it that Rumble is that good, or all three of those guys are suit a bit overrated? For being top five fighters in their division, all of them got taken out with hilarious ease. It's ironic too when you consider that Gus and Glover went 5 rounds with DC and/or Jones and Bader has been a long time top 5. Yet all three of them looked like they didn't even want to be there. What is the reason for this?
 
THE POW-AH!!!
 
That kind of power freaks everyone out, including professional fighters, add that to the fact that for at least two rounds he's as dynamic as they come. That adds up to one frightening mofo
 
He used a Jedi mind trick on us all.
 
Another one of these idiot jabroni threads.....


Yes, man. Everyone except the champion is overrated. In fact, you could beat them all up.
 
Because he knocked the ever living fuck out of them. I dont think Gus looked mediocre he just got fucking rekt.

Glover and Bader had no time to do anything and Bader is a little on the mediocre side compared to all the other names we're talking about.
 
Styles make fights. Their toughness and willingness to scrap was their downfall against Rumble. He struggles with better athletes than him and guys who have great resilience and conditioning. With a game plan or avoiding his onslaught he is very beatable. Those guys had the heart to go toe to toe. Hespect
 
They made themselves look bad for the most part:

Gus: Headbutt led to the knockdown and the finish (nobody's fault really)

Bader: Long shot that led to AJ on top. Not a smart plan. If Bader would have fought smarter and let AJ throw power he could have set up a takedown and possibly worn him down.

Glover: For being such a smart fighter, he sure did do the wrong thing by slugging it out with AJ. He could have outworked him.

AJ just capitalized on their mistakes and used his power to take them out.
 
Well, for one Gus has always relied too much on his chin IMO. Not a good idea to be that open against Rumble lol.

Also, Rumble seized his opportunity directly after the bomb he landed and the subsequent clash of heads. I've seen fighters before in similar situations who doesn't go for the kill there, simply because it happens early in the first round. Rumble don't have that mindset though, it's simply all or nothing for him, and he went all-in successfully.

Actually, I fear the ref shortened Gus career there with the late stoppage of his. Just because Gus has this crazy chin and refuse to go out cold, there was absolutely no meaning in letting the fight go on for that long IMO. I felt sorry for Gus when he had to eat like 8 unnecessary Rumble bombs when everyone realized it was all over.

It was a right hand not a head butt that hurts gus.
 
Bader and Gus looked scared prefight, IMO, Glover wasn't scared enough and paid the price.

No headbutt. That's a myth spread by butthurt Swedes.

 
Blunt force trama. The kind of thing only Rumble and DADA5000 know anything about.
