Michael Johnson 1-5 Post USDA

[legkicktko]

No accusations, just an observation.

I’m a fan. His physique hasn’t changed. Dariush is far better than Elkins. WTF.

Thoughts?

A thinly veiled accusation....,

"no accusations"

 

[epic1stpost]

Hint at an accusation

 

[Sonny Qc]

I think it's more about Who he fought in those 6 fights tbh.

 

[pick999]

bellator looks good now for him

He's still just as skilled and athletic, I think his biggest weakness is his "heart".

Not to say that he isn't a strong-willed person, it's just that some fighters give in inside the Octagon and others don't. Not to say that he doesn't have heart outside of the Octagon, but inside he's not willing to risk getting serious damage for a small chance to win like Anderson Silva would.

That's not USADA, that's just typical Michael Johnson, does great the first round, loses afterwards, nothing new, is normal. Dude's got hand speed and some power, but how he continues to drop the ball boggles my mind sometimes but eh, it is what it is.

"no accusations"

I’m a fan, but I’m biased. I want other people’s opinions on it. I want to think he was clean but you have to be a bit naive to not consider it at this point imo

 

[Mavant]

Instigators always use non-accusation accusations.

 

[Mga223]

He has always been inconsistent but he seems to look for ways to lose.

Dude has wins over Fergie and Barbosa ffs.

 

[KarateYeah]

No accusation, but I’m calling the cops!!!

 

[CalvilloRay]

Too much discredit to Elkins on this one. Dude has been great since moving to alpha male.

Khabib (undefeated)
Gaethje (undefeated when they fought)
Diaz (tough fight for anybody, specially who doesn´t have leg kicks)
Dariush (tough fighter under master Cordeiro who was beating Barboza until that KO outta nowhere)
Elkins at FW (king of the comeback)

So it´s not like MJ is fighting cans. He´ll be fine.

 

[magicmarker]

He would be better with 10 minute rounds. PRIDE era dude

 

[CalvilloRay]

Johnson has only lost to elite guys. Idc what u think, Elkins is an elite 145’er. Johnson beat Dariush though, worst robbery I’ve seen in a while. Besides that, Gaethje Nurmagomedov Diaz. Beat Porier during Usada era. Can’t remember if Barboza was usada era but dominated him too.

 

[Philly253]

And he complained about a prelim spot on a free card. Mind ain't right.

 

[CountOfSoCal]

Dariush
Diaz
Poirier
Khabib
Gaethje
Elkins

The guy has been fighting absolute killers. But, he did win the Dariush fight IMO.
