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.
Can we place a moratorium on calling people "kid"?? The guy is like 27 or 28 years old and isn't a rookie in the sport or something. Unless you are like 75, you really should not be calling him that. Dana White does this all the time too, it's patronizing and extremely annoying.
He has outstanding defense on the feet and on the ground (ex: King Mo is a vicious GnPer yet he couldn't do squat in Gegard's guard) thanks to his refined techniques and instincts
Improved TDD would require a change in striking style, his defense (the thing he's being praised for in this thread) would no longer be as much of a strength as it currently is.

He's just that good on the feet. Even in his K-1 fights he took pretty much zero damage.

He TKOed Kiotaro who was a K1 HW champ, hows that for measurement.
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.
Gegard did this to King Mo from UNDER!
He is now semi disfigured since that fight.

I agree,i never understood it.I don't think he will do too well in the UFC especially with that TDD.
