Media Kevin Lee calling Daniel Rodriguez a bum

D-Rod is a dog.
Just match him with stand and bang dudes for the rest of his career and let us enjoy.
Yeah, for real. He'll probably have an issue with the top grapplers in that division like the Usman's, Covington's, and Burns' of the world, but not everyone needs to be some bonafide contender to make money and be an entertaining fighter. I think he's very fun to watch. You give him the right dance partner, it'd make for a hell of a fight. Who wouldn't want to see him fight someone like Ponzinibbio or Li Jingliang or even someone like Masvidal, etc. I'd be down for that.

Oh yeah.. I have no problem watching a Kevin Lee fight. I just think he and a lot of MMA fighters are delusional thinking he can be a top tier guy.
He needs a win badly.

Edit.. lol you were talking about Rodriguez. Yeah.. him vs Ponzi, Luque, late Robbie, etc. All great fights.

Hahah it happens, man. I do it, too. Yeah. Lee is weird, to me. I don't harbor the same dislike for him that a lot on the board seem to. I think he's a very talented kid and I think he still has time to get this thing right, but he's got some real flaws that keep presenting themselves repeatedly. No matter how many times he tries to tweak it, he still has the same conditioning issues and his striking is still not at the level it needs to be to compete with the top tier guys, despite the fact that he's been seemingly working on it forever. He also seems to consistently lack fight IQ. I'm not sure what it is with him. I don't know if it's just a mental block he has or if it's something else.
 
People seriously understimate Rodriguez.

He's 16-2 and didn't have his first fight until he was 28 years old which is why he's older.

He is #2 in UFC history in significant strikes landed per minute (8.27) and would be #1 if O'Malley didn't get to fight a tomato can and land 300 strikes vs Moutinho.

He has massively outstruck every opponent he's faced in the UFC. He outstruck Dalby 103-58 and no takedowns were landed. You could easily argue he won that fight and should be undefeated 7-0 in the UFC.

At WW, he's simply a better fighter than Kevin Lee. Lee has always been delusional.
 
He needs to go to Bellator or PFL. Cardio is bad, he can't make weight in his natural weight class, and he's just generally isn't good enough to hang with today's top guys. Kevin hasn't evolved, and I don't think I'd pick him to beat a single ranked opponent at LW or WW.
