Reminder: Aljo subbed Sandhagen in just over a minute

[djason1988]

Everybody is riding high on Umar right now, but sandhagen can't wrestle or manage distance to avoid wrestling. Lots of people have stuffed Aljo's takedowns, and he ran Sandhagen to the mat instantly. Cory is a great striker, but grapple-heavy game plans are his Achilles heel. The only top notch fighter he's beat in recenter memory is Chito, and that was a pure striking affair.

That was over 4 years ago, Cory has made tremendous improvements in his overall grappling since then.

That was years ago and it’s been evident that’s been a part of his game he’s been shoring up and it showed.

Joseph Duffy subbed Conor McGregor in under a minute.

Clearly Joseph Duffy > Khabib Nurmagomedov. Context be damned!

reminder, marlon moraes went 3-8 in the ufc after doing this to aljo in 1 minute.

You can claim that, but who has he faced who is a serious and willing grappling threat?? He's been fighting all strikers. I'm sure his grappling has improved, but let's not pretend he's some elite wrestler. Umar just clearly showed he isn't.

And journeyman Serra made GSP tap to strikes. Shit happens.

Chito ain't top notch lol. Like, what the fuck?

Dude's best win is who? Pedro? The ghost of Cruz or washed Frankie? Rob Font?

Frankie was up 2 rounds as well and Font was destroying Chito. He just almost got KOd by every shot Chito landed because he's chinny.

At the very least he showed his submission game is needing work but so was khabib’s for a bit so who the fook really knows.

Man, this thread stinks.

Umar was better everywhere. Umar won the striking too.

Aren't you just proving his point? Sterling is a borderline can and he beat Cory easily, so Umar's win isn't impressive.

Pathetic and weak thread

 

[ExitLUPin]

Cory grappling was still raw back then. He's made big improvements since. I mean 3 fights before Aljo fight Alcantara ragdolled him and damn near snapped his arm him half with an armbar that Cory incredibly gutted out of.

 

[Fact Checker]

Reminder: Aljo gets beat up by other BJJ blackbelts who can strike…

Bryan Caraway, Assuncao, Moraes all pieced him up on the feet with relative ease.

Bro got 15 minutes of fame milking a knee to the head, now he’s back jobbing mediocre decisions like he’s done his whole career


Good riddance

That journeyman is a former WW champ and pioneer wing hall of famer, although he is a manlet. Have some hespect

Ask yourself this,

why was Duffy never given a shot at the title?

Exactly. Because they were protecting Khabib.
