Media Rob Font reflects on Cory Sandhagen loss

[lloyd2wayne]

He is not a needle mover, lost 3 out of 4 headliners he fought in and is boring to both watch and listen to. Send his ass to Bellator or prelims where he belongs

You know you are up Dana’s ass when you use his favorite word needle mover

 

[Robbie Brawler]

Per your standards you're not going to be able to have a promotion if you're wanting to cut guys who are 20-7 and have only lost to top level competition.

There is ample evidence that he doesn’t belong in the top tier at BW and has no shot at the title. It’s the ultimate fighting championship not “hang in there and get your participation trophy” bush league.

 

[Robbie Brawler]

Yeah, all his knockout wins sure are boring <Lmaoo>

Are you high on fentanyl or sth? He didn’t KO’d anyone in the last 5 years. Had 2 TKOs, one impressive against Yanez and one on Moraes who gets rocked by literally anyone these days.

Other than that all insufferable boring decisions win or lose.

 

[Yep]

Yup. A guy who is a superior wrestler can make you feel like you forgot how to wrestle, but your skills didn’t actually change

Yup?

I'm starting to think you and @Robbie Brawler are the same person with all these bad takes recently.

Cory initiated the take downs. Cory got top control. Cory had no threat of subs. Cory had no threat of gnp. Cory just lay'n'pray'd.

Dana was right, do you want to fight? Or lay'n'pray?

Cory also blew out his arm in the first round, I'll give the guy a pass for a single boring fight. Calling for him to be cut is trolling at best, incredibly dumb at worst. I assume it's trolling.

I mean, he got up from under Ricky simon multiple times, got up from garbrandt and Aldo, too. It isn't like people haven't tried to keep him down in the past.

I think sandhagen just developed very good wrestling, especially while studying the dagestani style in prep for Umar, where as font was probay focusing on striking in prep for Song, thus his "triggers" or reactions for wrestling might have been a bit off for him where as cory's felt on.

Regardless, font came to the right conclusion in saying, "I need to train more wrestling".

While I'm not a fan of Ricky Simon the guy is a tank of a man and a solid wrestler who held his own against Merab while also making Assuncao and Shore look like children.
Sandhagen just did better at wrestling against both Song Yadong and Rob Font and people are still acting like Sandhagen can't wrestle effectively. He even did better than Aldo and Edgar did at out grappling Chito Vera.

I have no idea why people are so critical on this fight. We're not too far removed from an era of lay n pray but Font show cased some slick BJJ early with sub and sweep attempts but Sandhagen was just always a step ahead technically and it may not be the striking war people want but it was a showcase of what Sandhagen has added to his game. Honestly when the dust settles and Font gets booked from this I doubt Font gets controlled like this again.
