great thread
OHHH HE WAS THAT GUY.Hackney signature move doesn't work on Amanda Nunes
conor beats tank via toehold
Same reaction. This shit is weird. Amanda Nunes vs Keith Hackney might be the strangest shit I've read so far here.
Royce vs Cejudo - I dont know
Kabib - too fast - punch , low single , strangle
Tank - bigger + All American wrestler
Shammy - bigger + wrestler
Severn - bigger
Whittaker vs Handy - I dont know because Yoel
Randleman vs Adesanya - I dont know
MM - Too fast ,Take down and strangle
Keith Hackney - Because man + too big
Frye - Bigger , better wrestler
I mean, if he was facing Amanda Nunes, I don't think groin shots would do him too many favors.Are we assuming early UFC rules where Keith could do multiple groin shots like he did to Joe Son Do?
1. Cejudo would beat Royce...Royce striking was pure shit and his takedowns were meh...Cejudo striking/wrestling is enough for cejudo to KO royce IMO
2. Khabib.....I don't know much about the other guy but he doesn't look that good and gets finished quite quickly...I think Khabib would just tire him out the beat em.
3 Tank.....Conor has trouble with dudes the same size or bigger than him, he is easily intimidated....Tank would not respect Conor at all, he would eventually KO Conor...and there is no way Conor takes tank down.
4 Ken Shamrock....Ken is simply too big for Max, eventually they will get in a clinch or something and Ken would simply take him down and beat em IMO
5 Usman....I think Usman is strong enough/big enough(when not cutting) to prevent Severn's takedowns....Add in the fact Usman knows how to strike way better, and I think Severn loses this one.
6 Whittaker....he is too young, has more striking experience and his TDD is good enough to stop Randy(Whittaker did great against Yoel and Yoel is a better wrestler than Randy IMO)..Also Whittaker is probably like 205-210 lbs, when training...He is big enough for Randy.
7 Randleman....Simply way too big and strong, with a shitload of power...Yes Adesanya is a great striker but I just picture Randleman going for double legs like crazy with eventually getting lanky Adesanya down and destroying him.
8 Mighty Mouse....Dude is simply too fast, too skilled, etc for Gerard...Might Mouse would destroy em IMO
9 Nunes.....Hackney doesn't seem too skilled and is 5'11 200lbs....Nunes should be 160ish and have way more skills...I think Nunes takes it via Sub
10 Don Frye....Simply too big and powerful for Dustin...I think Frye will eventually take Dustin down and beat the crap out of em.

What if Keith Hackney started low blowing Amanda?
the sport is more popular drawing in more athletes now as well, increasing the level of competition
Gotta an issue with my list ? Dont be shy - spit it out .

Good picks, though if Severn could do multiple suplexes vs. Usman (like he did to a much smaller Anthony Macias) that one could get interesting...though Macias was a MT guy who knew nothing about wrestling.
Also, I think you're right on MM, but Gordeau was a pretty dang good and accurate striker for UFC 1 era fighting. If he lands one kick, it might be all over. He had a broken foot and hand vs. Royce, so he was pretty much useless by the tournament final.
Not so sure about that. The HWs from the mid-90s were arguably more athletic than the ones now. Ken Shamrock turned down a tryout for the San Diego Chargers to do Pancrase, Kimo was similarly athletic, Goodridge/Tank were super strong and pretty mobile for their size, Frye was a good athlete, Severn a D1 wrestler, etc. Now we have mostly 40+ year olds and some overrated Russians.
