He blew out his knee or some shit like that during the Campos fight. He was actually close to pulling out of the GP due to that injury. The fact that he got that sub from bottom guven the circumstances is quiet impressive.
How is he a prospect at 18-0 and champ and p4p #1 in bellator and ranked #1 featherweight in the world by junkie?
He might be young but he stopped being a prospect 4 fights ago.
I'd say AJ has the best potential, both in star power and fighting ability. But its hard to judge who is THE best outside the UFC.
You really should go find his last 6 or 8 fights and watch them in order. He’s gone from good to great in several years. He had one or two scares but mostly has improved every outting.
Good point
Yair has more range, and just all around a different skillset than Patricio on the feet though. The leg kicks, as much as Max no sold them, probably forced him to press the issue a lot more. As did the need to take away Yair's kicks.
Speaking off Lima, it seems he has started a new camp for an unannounced bout. Here's hoping he comes out looking well and hasn't turned into Woodley 2.0. A Lorenz Larkin rematch would be nice, maybe Paul Daley
Hopefully its not the MVP trilogy. Larkin, Daley, or J. Jackson would be good.
That's what Im thinking. A W over Jackson gets Lima back on track. On the other hand, if Jackson beats Lima it puts him in title contention and legitimizes Jackson. Its your typical UFC matchmaking, actually.
