Nordine Taleb would have wrecked Psycho Bob if they fought last Saturday

[nstig8]

Taleb at 36 is much fresher than war-torn Lawler at 35 and is still improving, while Lawler is clearly on the decline.

Taleb is much more technical than Lawler with a powerful Muay Thai arsenal and solid defense.

Lawler would have obliged Taleb in a stand up fight because Psycho Bob don't shoot takedowns.

Taleb would have ruined Lawler's legs just as bad as RDA did. He has very heavy low kicks.

Taleb would have also been the bigger man in the cage against Lawler and we saw the size discrepancy between Lawler/RDA.

Lawler is one of my all time favorites and I have a ton of respect for the man.

WW is deep as hell, folks.

The Robbie that beat your boy Rory woulda killed Taleb

Were they supposed to fight Satrday or sumn im missing?

Woodley smashes everyone now. I don't see anyone beating him except GSP.

Taleb is a darkhorse though. Would like to see him against a fighter like KG.

Li jingliang won taleb and a lot of people agrees. Was a good fight though.

Taleb struggled with a 18 year old karate boy half his size in his last fight iirc

Naw, just trying to point out the depth of the divison while Taleb, a legit WW, was buried on the prelims of the Lawler/RDA card.

What about no?

Li is another legit WW that gets lost in the shuffle because of how deep the division is.

Naw, Taleb big brothered him for 3 rounds. 30-27.

Last two outtings we havent seen the same Lawler that made a 2nd run in the UFC and took gold

Wars with Hendricks x2, McDonald, and Condit with his miles of taking damage is finally starting to take its toll
