What Khamzat is doing is special but Conor had a similar aura when he was coming up through the ranks. The mystic mac predicitions combined with the movement training was something very unique. He looked unbeatable until he ran into Nate lol
Jones was a beast. You need to go back and watch the Bonnar fight. He tossed him around worse than Rory did Nate.
Umm no. Mendes(who was on short notice) fight showed that his cardio was sub par and his ground game was average at best .Infact i would say he looked unbeatable before the Mendes fight.He looked unbeatable until he ran into Nate lol
I would argue that the Mendes fight showed that he could battle through adversity and still find a way to win. Sure, Mendes was a short notice replacement but anyone with two functioning eyes could see that Conor had a very hard camp and came in to the fight not even close to 100%. Just look att the weigh in pictures and the backstage altercation with Faber lol, dude looked like he would drop dead any second.Umm no. Mendes(who was on short notice) fight showed that his cardio was sub par and his ground game was average at best .Infact i would say he looked unbeatable before the Mendes fight.
all of Jon’s fights up until he became champion were ridiculous. So dominant. Just saying watch them before proclaiming barely tested Khamzgoat more impressive.yeah but Bonnar is Bonnar. I still think Khamzat is significantly more dominant
Hendricks said he used to beat Gastelum whenever they sparred and we saw how the fight went. I remember Cormier getting KO'd by someone whom i dont even remember now but i am pretty sure Cormier would beat him in a fight.Sometimes practice might indicate a lot but it doesnt always tell how would the actual fight go.Practice says a lot to be honest. People know what's up from the sparring sessions. It's a big deal in boxing because the sparring sessions are practice fights. Lots of fighters get ducked due to what happens during sparring sessions in boxing/mma.
Corey Anderson just KO Bader and he was saying he used to easily beat him when they sparred together.
Jones is the most talented fighter that I've seen but we will see.
He's fantastic, but not the most dominant. For example 9 fights in Penn had beat Gomi and then reigning WW champ Hughes to become p4p #1.
He already had a loss and a draw by then though. He'd accomplished more than Khamzat at that point in his career, but he wasn't more dominant.
The only fighters you can really compare are previously mentioned Jones and also Ronda Rousey who was a world champion and 9-0 with 9 finishes and 8 first round finishes at that stage.
The Man was beating Stephan Bonnar with striking he saw on youtube.
