Assuming he never fights DC, I think he would be competitive with Gus and beat decisively Volkan, Manuwa, etc. Would love to see him grappling with Jones. Thoughts?
That's hilariousShogun would KO him
There' not fighter that makes me cringe more then Luke rockhold when he speaks. He sounds like he goes home looks in the mirror and just thinks of one liners that sound cool to him. When he actually says them out loud in public it's like watching a bad movie like sharknado except this guy is serious when he says this shit
Oezdemir had some good shots on DC before he started gassing.Against the top guys:
Gus murks him. Gus's TDD held up pretty well against Jones and DC, and Luke will lose his length advantage. Not to mention that Gus has power.
Jones/Rockhold would be a once in a lifetime match on the ground. I NEED to see this. GOAT P4P top control vs. Jones's grappling skill. Jones takes it IMO.
Oezdemir KOs Luke 60% of the time, with Luke getting on top and winning the other 40%. I believe in Volkan's ability to improve, though, so in a few years Oezdemir should be able to murk Luke.
But who knows, he could be another RDA.
Really? Shogun? lol, that is one of the fights where I would pick Rockhold 100% of the time.Shogun would KO him
With Rockhold's chin, Shogun would need 1 shot. From either hand.Really? Shogun? lol, that is one of the fights where I would pick Rockhold 100% of the time.
You don't think Rockhold's kicks would hurt Shogun? He has a nasty liver kick which I think would finish Shogun pretty quickly.With Rockhold's chin, Shogun would need 1 shot. From either hand.
Rockhold can only win on the ground (which I doubt), or a decision. 15-25 mins is a long time, I think Shogun finds his chin.
