He reminds me of a young Shogun. If he can ever get a fire lit under his ass he could beat anyone standing. But for some reason every couple fights it looks like he doesn't even care to be in the ring.
I have watched most of his fights and I have never seen him with a beat up face...... And that with 38 MMA fights under his belt.
Why is this? Head movement? Footwork? Other?
Discuss!
Dont worry man ...he's coming to the UFC. He's gonna be "TOUCHED" good bro...you will see ;]
He's got some of the most technically sound standup in mma. I think he's gonna be a monster in the UFC if (big if) he stays hungry and motivated.
oh my god, here we go with Shogun/Mousasi nuthuggary. I want this kid to get a fight in the UFC, so we can get a real measurement of his skills.
Mousas would annhilate 95% of the lhw's. His poison in a cage is going to be fast athletic guys who wrestle like shad and Davis.
hungry and motivated isn't exactly the issue, although he's so methodical some people mistake it for "lazy" or "uninterested".
it's just simply a good ol fashioned...is his wrestling and tdd good enough to withstand the likes of Rashad.
a guy like Pettis can beat the champ and then get LnP'd by Clay Guida....it happens. that's why the sport is so dynamic: the individual matchups.
hopefully he spent his year off thinking about this issue.

He's said himself in the lead up to the Kyle fight and in the post fight that he really hadn't taken his career seriously and put himself through a proper camp with training partners who will push him. The real scary part about him is that he has over 30 professional wins essentially on talent alone.
He TKOed Kiotaro who was a K1 HW champ, hows that for measurement.
