Fair enough. Good breakdown of your opinion. It's refreshing to see someone back their shit up.You think if Khabib and Pereira met at 185lbs there isn't a reasonable chance Khabib gets the take down when he wants it? I watched Roman Bravo Young Jr...who would fight at 125lbs in MMA outwrestle Belal the other day, of course he can't keep him down but Belal couldn't take the kid down and kept scoring nonetheless. Bravo is an Olympian and 2x D1 national champ...very good and he's been training with Cruz for years during off seasons at MMA gyms.
Yeah, I think Khabib at 185 is taking down almost all these guys. Maybe not beating them all but the grappling at 185 is really that bad. I think he'd be a serious issue for Pereira at 185.. Pereira already lost to Ottoni who's at WW these days, not only did Ottoni bang with him on the feet and rock Pereiras shit but he took him down too, Izzy took down Pereira, he's a protected fighter in a really shallow division. Beeb has a good shot of getting his ass.
Igor is really good, don't know why he bit the dude cause he was arguably winning the fight, he said it was in retaliation for the Lima guy fouling him several times and the ref not intervening. Kids like 20 years old, he might just go become a cab driver now but I hope he sticks the path and gets a second chance.
Correction though, Izzy never took down Pereira. He slipped trying to take down Izzy.
Yeah at 185 i could see Khabib being able to get a takedown on Pereira.
