Isn’t Kelvin doing what Chris Weidman already did?

[Ortegoat]

he is beating a bunch of washed up MWs. What’s so impressive about that? Is it because he is a WW doing it? Or is it because GSP won’t fight these guys?

 

[LockardTheGOAT]

Because these guys are still legitimate threats (old or not) and Kelvin is one of the smallest MW's in the division.

 

[LouisBolanos]

He's a natural WW doing what a former MW champion did in his prime, that's impressive enough.

Don't dude
I've been getting flamed for saying the same shit in a different thread

Kelvin is a waste of talent

Kelvin can’t make WW so he’s not a WW. It’s simple you are the weight that you can make.

Friday Jacare was one of the best MW's on Earth.

Now he's washed up.

Sherdog.

He can but he racks disciprine just like Mackenzie Dern. And doing what a former MW champ did in his prime as TS is implying is impressive regardless.

Gas is a true warrior with a Mexican heart and chin.

 

[thomnasty]

Jacare is still a legit win.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

Anytime an american beats a brazillian, they either got lucky or said brazillian is old and out of their prime. Sometimes i feel this forum is a cesspool of brazillians, or brazillians living in america.

If I white belt that signed yesterday say so... it most be true you know.

gastelum was close to finishing weidman. if he got that win, instead of getting submitted, i would say he should get a title. beating bisping at the time he beat bisping wasn't impressive IMO. this win though is as big as it gets. i think he still needs another win to get a title shot. gastelum vs. rockhold is the fight to make.

 

[Medulla Omoplata]

He's being competitive with the top fighters in the division. Isn't that impressive in and of itself? What does Chris Weidman or GSP have to do with it?

Rockhold is a lhw now

Why waste of talent? He has been winning and cashing checks. Plus he got himself some pretty nice scalps (Bisping, Vitor, Jacare, Tim Kennedy)

 

[TheScorpionDude]

I don't want to see Kelvin anywhere near a title shot until he rematches Weidman.

 

[wisdom blows]

*won't make WW*

The vast majority of his fights are at WW.

 

[HomeRun916]

I feel like he’s a massive overachiever. His resume is pretty damn good.

 

[daltonames]

Well over 1/2 of the MW top ten is 35+. Who exactly would you like him to fight?
