How far can garry tonon go in the UFC

[Pakman]

No where..hed have to come off the sauce...

Once that happens he aint all that special


Edit ..i meant a different BJJ juice monkey...

Not sure Tonon is on the juice, he's always posting about eating cheeseburgers n stuff n sorta looks it out of camp.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

He's obviously got a massive advantage with most fighters on the ground, but he also likes to throw hands and has a lot of punching power.

Idk how far he can go, but I'd like to see him give it a shot.

Yeah? Hes so unathketic that no human has a comparable record of winning in no gi. Let me guess Rickson or marcello or galvao is better.

well compare what they’ve achieved. And don’t forget to see who is finishing opponents.

A gi has no bearing on any grappling skill in life as most humans aren’t wearing oversized novelty shirts and pants.

I mean, Marcelo is literally half the size of Gordon and was doing what he did. Marcelo technique wise is probably the greatest of the bunch considering he's not athletic in comparison to his counterparts at the time.

But Gordon isn't the most explosive guy or anything in BJJ. I mean he's definitely not some random schlub, but I would pretty much bet my life on guys like Aspinall n such being more athletic than he is.

I have a strange feeling that when Gordon gets cracked, he's not going to like it and never really get too involved in MMA.

He makes enough $ from grappling I think to continue doing that for the rest of his career and not risk getting beat up.

I remember when Woodley cracked Galvao and that was it, for the fight and his career.

It could happen like that, but it's tough to say what someone's like, really like.

I think Gordon will stick to strict grappling. I think he's just grappling with one and his academy will prolly make him more than whatever one is paying him to do mma

Yup. He's extremely technical but no athletic.

He doesn't look that good right now



And he won't pass USADA right now either

Probably 2 wins and gets shut down by a guy with better TD.

Which fws would you say have better td

Which fws would you say have better td

If we talk about the UFC FW no one besides Volk, but if we talk about ONE FC FW applied to the UFC which it's 155 a.k.a LW then pretty much everyone: Gaethje, Chandler, Dustin, Islam. Specify which weight class since One Fc does things different.

I'd expect Tonon to fight in UFC FW because its to my understanding that ONE FC banned weight cutting so if Tonon was to move to the UFC, the people his size would be all in FW. Similar to how Eddie Alvarez moved to 77 kg upon joining one

I have a strange feeling Gordon would be the same. Very capable of beating some can's at HW first n then faces a guy who can defend TD's and can crack and that'll be the end of him.

Only one way to find out!

in that case probably volk. 145 isn't known for wrestlers.

 

[Bork Neslar]

Pretty far.

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

since thanh le is probably going to send him to the shadow realm, we’ll likely never know.
