Tough to take him as a serious contender against Jones or Cormier regardless of what he did to Bader.
 
Didn't need the "i know its fighter bashing"

It attracts negative attention from mods to the title.

Its not fighter bashing if you present the question "do you feel like rumble quit against cormier? How serious can he be taken?"

But really....he didn't give up....he gassed. He is not used to fighters surviving the first 5 minutes. Sometimes there are power vs cardio sacrifices which have worked well in rumbles favor most of his career.
 
if he lands, he can destroy anyone.....anyone....jones striking defense isnt that great....it will be a better fight than people think....
 
It's hard carrying a 220lb man on your back after you're gassed.
 
You let Cormier wrestlefuck you for even 1 minute and see how you feel.
 
Carried DC's full weight for 3 rounds,and gave up too easily after the arm went under the chin ?

I don't care if its flaming or not; Fuck basement dwellers criticizing fighters endurance.
 
He knocked Cormier halfway across the octagon in the first. If that punch had hit the chin or behind the ear Cormier would have been asleep.

Jones may not be so lucky.
 
There's a difference between mentally breaking, and gassing out.

He burned himself out trying to finish Cormier in the first rd, and payed the price later on in the fight. It's that simple.
 
Why is this a thread? His cardio was not good for that fight and DC's style will wear most people down anyway. Neither thing is in dispute by anyone as far as I know.

He did give up but I will agree it was because he was gassed. He gave the joke up and you can tell his coaches are used to him quitting when things are going against him as they were literally screaming "Don't give up! Don't quit" when DC was looking to lock up the RNC.
 
That is not fighter bashing that is the truth and that was not the only fight he has quit in, he actually quit against Josh Koshcheck but he blamed it on an illegal knee but he quit and I am not sure if quitting is the right word because his cardio just sux and that is not an opinion its a fact he has proven it time and time again especially at 170. People will make the excuse it was the weight cut but that is on him all we care about is what happens in the fight that is what people pay good money to see.
 
I do think Rumble lacks heart to a degree probably the wrong word to use because the guy trains his ass off and it takes a lot of heaet to even compete at this level. When you compare him to his peers tho he doesnt seem as 'durable' even tho his chin is good. I think its more of a confidence and gas tank thing. He lost his compsure after dropping DC and initiated grappling more than he maybe could have, and i think that is because he knew he would gas if he couldnt get a break or finish it.

He makes up for it by being skilled, dangerous, and with good defense.
 
I don't think it's fighter bashing. Maybe different wording would make it better? But we've seen it a couple times in his career where he's already mentally packing it in before the fight is officially over. It's something he can work on. Just a confidence thing in the line of fire most likely. One he learns to stay confident when things are really heating up he can get past that happening to him.

I agree with this and also think it was a combination of both. Rumble's style revolves around "explosion"/KOs, but DC grinded him down physically and mentally. Like Magnus said, his coaches were literally yelling "Don't give up, don't quit." Still, his monstrous right hand that DC took was scary, and idk how DC got right back up. With that kinda firepower he's got a chance against anybody.
 
DC put to much pressure on him and he didn't really knew hot to counter that and thought he would finish him early. nothing of a big deal tho. DC is worldclass and olympic wrestler elite
 
These fast twitch and super explosive fighters usually dont have the best cardio. Some people are just built for the sprint while others are natural marathon runners. Nick Diaz will never have AJ explosiveness or power, but AJ will never have Nick Diaz level of endurance.

Tough to take you seriously when you claim a cage fighter quit "very easily". You have no fucking idea what was going on, so maybe you should back off the certainty level.
