Rewatched Rumble vs Vitor

[Zeppeling]

Never seen dat boy Rumble so scared of contact. Crawling across the canvas trying to avoid the stand up. I know it was a while ago, but doesn't get any less shocking every time I rewatch.

 

[Sinthesized]

Vitor showed him who daddy was, like Cormier did.

Pretty crazy how son'd he allowed himself to be. I mean he didn't even take a shot on the feet to put him in his place. The round started and he said, "dad".

Yeah it's pretty crazy. Almost started calling him Crumble Johnson

 

[KONE]

Dan Miragliotta is a moron

 

[VitorReem]

It was beautiful

 

[Sonny Qc]

He wasn't the same killer back then. Vitor And Koscheck loss were pretty bad.

 

[Redhawks100]

That was a different AJ.

I imagine someone is not going to be terribly confident entering a fight after they almost kill themselves trying to make weight and still miss the mark because their body started shutting down.

But y'know, details.

you're right, he is mentally weak as fuck, to the point where he doesn't even take fight preparation seriously

 

[UnTrust]

That was a different AJ.

He was a completely different fighter at the time and also was suffering from a weight cut gone bad

 

[FenoxSky]

People act like Rumble was fine going into that fight, and not absolutely fucked up from a terrible weigh-cut.
Would that fight had been sanctioned in the US, and Rumble wouldn't have been allowed to enter that cage.

He obviously is taking it seriously, because he's fighting at his proper weight class now and is a contender.

I get the cute little not at all clever thing you were going for, but it's weak.

at 7 seconds in this video it looks like vitor catches him with a hook and his knees buckle. after that he goes into panic mode and it's over.

What i imagine

 

[Emjay]

What are you guys talking about? Rumble was aggressive from the beginning like he always is. He damn near slammed Vitor through the mat in the first 20 seconds of the fight.

Vitor was throwing wild shit and giving AJ the opportunities to take him down and AJ took him down multiple times.

Yep. That bad weight cut doomed Rumble. Think that was the last time he fought at middleweight as well.

 

[Ez Eric]

To be fair Vitor makes almost everybody look bad.

 

[moreorless87]

That was a different AJ.

The only time a fighter has moved up a weight class and still had massive weight cutting problems? understandable I spose as Rumble did put on a lot of muscle by that fight, most of what he has on him down at LHW.

What does that make Gus then? An absolute failure.
