Rob has a great chance at catching him with a high kick after a combination, but Rob does not have the chin of Gastelum. When Israel hurts Rob, he won't go berserk like Romero. Rob has been picked apart by accurate straight punches before. I don't see him "destroying" Israel. Rob handled Romero because Romero's output was poor. Izzy can lead, and counter. This is a very tough fight for Rob.
You would bet on Adesanya over Romero?
I’m not discrediting costa for using. Every fight I see him he gets lit up to the face and body. The only reason he doesn’t go down isn’t because of whatever he’s on and all the muscle he’s built around his frame and cardio advantage. Jon Jones is a skilled fighter, Costa is an enhanced fighter with a million holes in his game.
I doubt he does. Only reason that kick landed from Kelvin Is that he wasn't expecting It.
He's caught Romero, and Jacare with the kick hidden by punches. It's something he does well. Adesanya was getting hit with kicks after punches in te Gas fight a few times.
not sure if you read what I said
first of all kelvin doesnt hit as hard as dc esp in the clinch
Agreed, the only other high level technical striker Roberts faced picked him apart with ease. I love Robert but he has been out striking grapplers who are good put not great strikers, especially Yoel, but he has that game changing explosive power to make up for it.
Well, I think Rob is a great striker as well. Definitely not one to sleep on there. Thing Is with Yoel too is he had to spend a lot of the camp wrestling..and he's always under the threat of the takedown.
I hear ya. I think whittaker is sneakier than you're giving him credit for, but you're right. Israel has seen better kickers.
naw, I'm aware. Whittaker is very legit. I just think using Gas landing a kick as an example Is flawed.
I never remember seeing Jones in this much trouble, his worst moment was the armbar vs. Vitor, and the Gus 1 fight.
