Odd that both Anderson and Izzy got taken out by guys that weren't Elite but Jack-Of-All Trades?

Great basics and in-shape is a tough combo to beat.

What any good amateur boxing/wrestling coach teaches.

Applies to the highest levels of sports.

I’m appreciative of TS’s multi-faceted approach of trolling and triggering other Sherdog posters, clearly this has to be a heavily veiled attempt at grabbing people’s attention... or is it...?

Izzy got dominated on the feet, if Jan is not an elite striker than what does that make Izzy? A glorified calf kicker?

Dominated? Lmfao. Jan beat Izzy by the same margin Holloway beat Kattar? Gotcha my guy.

chris weidmans grappling is nothing less than excellent. especially when he was younger with less mileage on him

Come on dude, stop with that "Dominated" thing, I think it's been overused these days.
Jan was just ahead 3-5 punches against Izy on the first 3 rounds

Yeah, no,

That does not even account for the reality that most of his leg kicks were checked.

He was getting pieced up on the feet, he was slower and less effective.

Landing over twice as many strikes on the head and dismantling the main weapon of your opponent (checking pretty much all leg kicks) is putting a class on someone.

Chris was elite, Jan is elite. You cannot become UFC champ without being Elite.

Okay, it’s not dominating, though. Also 16 of those head strikes were ground strikes. Be objective.

Blachowicz was a champion in thai boxing.

Look at the round by round numbers. Dominating might be hyperbole, but it certainly was not close.

 

[AminoAcid]

This is MMA.

Both Jan and Chris are elite.

I'm talking about Chris back then. He was an absolute beast.

It was all down hill after he quit drinking beer.

 

[Goldentrophy]

Chris has elite BJJ imo the only guy to actively look to take Maia down and didn't get subbed after cutting a stupid amount of weight.

Did you see the fight? Jan outpointed Izzy. Neither did much damage to each other. Izzy’s face showed minimal damage. The Kelvin fight showed that his skin isn’t leather like a. Silva.
