How would prime Rumble Johnson do in today’s LHW division?

[Stixx]

He would KO every single one of them. R.I.P. big guy!

 

[Luthien]

That would have been a seriously intense fight

 

[JakePaulMMA]

Rumble was all over the place lol. Peak Rumble stiffens Poatan but gets wrestled to exhaustion by Jan. He stiffens Hill and Juri. Ank crumbles him due to wrestler weakness

Dude it's not 4vs1. Rumble takes them each individually.

 

[chinarice]

Rumble would send Pereira to the shadowrealm

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Rumble vs Jiri would be popcorn, edge of your seat shit

 

[BjPenn2017]

I think he has his hands full against more than a few guys there.

He would win some and would lose some. There are very good strikers there and Rumble was a monster but not an invicible one.

On the feet he was pretty much invincible, don’t think he was ever rocked or dropped until his very final fight.

There’s 0 chance in hell a guy like Pereira survives his punch or outgrapples him, only guy that could beat him is Ank if he could survive the onslaught and put his wrestling on him.

 

[MRT]

It is a shame that we never got to see Rumble fight Jones...perhaps one of the most the compelling matchups that never happened in the UFC.

I can't imagine Rumble would be any worse than top 5 (prob top 3) today and a very legit title threat.

The way Rumble deconstructed Gustafson in Sweden ...man..that was brutal

Disagree. At 205 it does not take much and guys like Pereira, Khalil and others could definitely give him problems.

But we will never know.

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

He would be 4th best at worst. But I think he would probably be 2nd best or champion. I think Ankalaev would beat him but if he were smart and mixed in his wrestling he would beat Alex.

New song in the PBP later Don't miss it!

 

[DougieJones]

He would walk through everyone imo

 

[fedoriswar37]

Could've been champ. Could've lost decisively to a lot of the top 10. Most likely would've slept a lot of these guys.

I wouldn't miss it for the world, can't wait. See you on playbyplay with all the crew.

 

[Mind Mine]

Everyone but Ank and MAYBE good day Jan. Styles make fights and he wouldn’t easily KO Ank and Ank would tire him

 

[snugglecakes]

dood prolly could get ranked in todays UFC HW just as easily

 

[BigGucciSosa]

Only person who gives him a problem is Pereria

 

[cburm]

No Jones or DC that would threaten him with wrestling and rear naked chokes if he were to fight today.

How would Rumble do in today’s division against the current fighters? Just to name some names, we got:

1. Alex Pereira
2. Ankalaev
3. Jan Blachowicz
4. Carlos Ulberg
5. Jamahal Hill
6. Jiri
7. Rakic
8. Rountree
9. Johnny Walker
10. Dominick Reyes

He'd destroy it

 

[J'Ghasta]

People are seriously delusional about his chances. The guy was called "crumble" for a reason. Overpowered body with a weak mind. He poses a threat to everybody there but he loses more often than he wins. He sure as hell isnt sparking out everybody in the division and holding the strap.
