Is Rory the worse stylistic match up for any wrastler?

[Unfinished Sentenc]

I think so.

 

[Brock Tober]

Well, there's that Wonderboy dude...

 

[Leinster Rugby]

For any 'fighter' I'd have said

 

[Unfinished Sentenc]

Well, there's that Wonderboy dude...

the one who got outwrestled by a matt brown?

 

[Brock Tober]

the one who got outwrestled by a matt brown?

Because fighters never improve. Gotcha.

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

Compelling evidence TS

 

[Th3Sav4ge]

probably a great wrestler them selves id have to say.

Like Jon jones or MM.

 

[Sonny Qc]

Rory is tough for anyone.

One of the most complete fighter ever.

 

[Nobru]

ts, I dunno. He hits like a girl, IMO hes a good fighter, top 5 and so, but not a contender. He can get a title, yes, but I dont expect him to hold it.

IMO the worse stylistic matchups for a wrestler are other wrestlers who can strike AND have reach advantage. Example: good luck outwrestling Jon Jones.

but you are not talking about styles X styles, but actually an individual (rory) x a style (wrestling). So......

 

[BigMuffler]

Werdum is the best anti-wrestler. They don't even want to wrestle against him so all they're left with is striking.

 

[ArtemV]

I think Wonderboy is up there.. beat Ellenberger and Hendricks back to back, not easy.

Luke Rockhold

 

[DaveHilly]

Rory has similar strengths to GSP. He's extremely well rounded and quite a good MMA wrestler. This allows him to dictate where the fight takes place against most pure wrestlers, and as he is very well rounded his striking is good enough that he can beat most of them on the feet easily.

so he's top 5, but not a contender?
fought for the title and can get a title, but isn't a contender?

shut up lmao.

 

[Zeppeling]

Rory is by default the worst match up vs anyone in WW.

 

[DickNiaz420]

I'd say he's an easy matchup for anyone above 170

 

[Nobru]

so he's top 5, but not a contender?
fought for the title and can get a title, but isn't a contender?

shut up lmao.

all right if i have to explain, i got 2 free mins now.

hes top 5 and he fought for the title (and lost). IMO he should be within top 5, thats where he belongs, at least for now. I just dont see him as champion material.
This is MMA, Conor beat Aldo in 13 seconds (biggest surprise in MMA history IMO), which only proves anything can happen.

Gustafsson's turnig the back and running away strategy seems to work even against the biggest and more explosive wrestlers.
