How good was Pedro Rizzo?

[Yrat]

20-11, noteable wins over Andrei Arlovski, Jeff Monson, Tank Abbott,Ricco Rodriguez ,Kohsaka.

It feels that once he left UFC 2003 and took that loss against Sergey Kharitonov and Roman Zentsov he was not the same.

Was he the pre-JDS back then? Should he have made 205 lbs to make sure he would get the ufc belt in 205 lbs back in 2001?

It feels that he could go much far in some fights.

His name sounds like a singer more then a fighter

 

[savemgs]

good.

good.

He was one of the pioneers. He was a complete fighter (stand up and ground) in a time when fighters brought only one skill to the table. He was also able to compete once the sport evolved. I’d consider him one of the legends, one of the few to hold notable wins in the vale tudo bare knuckle era and the modern era

 

[MrCoffee]

good.

 

[dittohead84]

I don't think anyone would be the same after being flattened by Kharitonov and Zentsov

 

[JKG]

good

He was the first of only 4 people to ever TKO or KO Dan Severn.

 

[dildos]

Great.

That’s unforgivable

 

[Dan Torrance]

very good

 

[Local Plata]

Pretty good. One of the UFCs biggest busts though. Never lived up to his hype or potential unfortunately. His KO of Josh Barnett was sick as fuck though.

 

[Young Calf Kick]

Leg kick GOAT

As was his Arlovski KO

 

[randomg1t]

he should've been a champion, he got robbed against couture in their first fight.

had a tendency to be slow on the trigger though, he would hesitate too much and be rather inactive in fights... but when he turned it on, he turned it on for real. his fight with arlovski was awesome, the finish was brutal. the way he KO'd barnett was also slick as hell.

the man could fight, but he was already past his prime in 2003, everything after that is not a fair reflection of his skill and ability.

 

[midorathirdtiger]

Good

 

[Foppa21]

Leg kicks hurt.. a lot
