MVP when he faces real strikers

[ipowerslapmywife]

Once he faced a decent striker this happened. I think Holland KOs him while showboating

MVP is on Ariel's show at 3pm est ...

for anyone interested

It was a close fight up until the KO, he proved he's an elite striker with the 2 Douglas Lima fights. It's his grappling that sucks.

I hope the rumors of MVP v Holland are true.

I couldn’t get past TS’s username.

I hope the rumors of MVP v Holland are true.

He's been on a tear for a few days. Doubt he lasts half a year.

Good gif though, even though the context is shit. Says the guy who just added a gif of the Simpson's Disco Stu guy to a Colby thread.

I took a delight in this ko.

Petty I know but fook it.

Meh Lima was on an incredible run and was body bagging people left and right. The fight with MVP was very competitive until he got caught in a wild exchange.

Didn't MVP shut Lima out in a rematch too? I know the balding aging contigent of sherdog gets all butt frustrated about any/every cocky black guy that exists but yall need to put so e respect on dudes name if not EXCLUSIVELY for being a devout disciple of the Just Bleed God.

Dude literally shattered a motherfuckers skull in the cage, nobody else has ever done that, (hopefully) never will. MVP gets a pass for me for life for all the can crushing because he's a fuckin skull crusher too lol

He could beat Edwards

Honestly the Lima KO was kinda like Izzy's KO over Pereira. It came out of nowhere in a fight where he was getting pieced up if I remember correctly.

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

Interesting UFC went this approach, instead of feeding him people he can beat, like Poatan. To me, this is nothing but a UFC grudge match. Take out the stars that we just paid money for, PRIDE style, then lie about it, even though the emails exposed it, and we all know this is going on. Very interesting. MVP is a star, with the right match ups could easily add excitement. But they are more interested in damaging their own cattle.

MVP is pretty under rated on here. I think Holland gets starched if that fight happens.

 

[CPH]

In that second Lima fight, MVP just rode circles around the cage a la WB vs Woodley. That was him ‘solving’ a dangerous striker. Yawn..

 

[Spiderbite]

He's definitely legit.

But i thought i was having a stroke when i read that Dana said he signed him.

Wasn't it confirmed, that he signed with PFL?

 

[Deleted member 587672]

He could beat Edwards

Absolutely not. A few years ago, I might have said "it could be close" but now, no.

 

[BangBang]

interested to see how he fares…..

 

[kingghidrah]

damn, where was even the news that he signed with the UFC?

I thought he signed with PFL just a few weeks ago?

never mind, i'm out of the loop. Dana announced this on Saturday

MVP is pretty under rated on here. I think Holland gets starched if that fight happens.

He's going to make his UFC debut at 37 years old, and from memory he had a pretty extensive amateur kickboxing career prior to transitioning to MMA.

When you're on the wrong side of 35 with a lot of mileage, its hard to step up in competition. MVP would have made a splash in the UFC 5 years ago - now? I don't know that he's underrated, he's just past his prime.

 

[laleggenda27]

MVP will likely outpoint Holland in a relatively uneventful fight.

Hope we see him snipe some fools on prime-time
