Yeah some people saying that old but the guys with great grappling tend to be able to stick around for awhile. He’s gotta take less strikes if that’s the plan thoughHes 31..definetly has time if he hustles and progresses right
Kron landed on Cub alot. His punches looked slow and a bit stiff, but you could tell Cub didn't like it when they landed. He busted Cub up pretty good. But Cub clearly outclassed him striking.
Krons strength is bjj. If he can't find a way to use that in a fight with higher level opponents he's not going much further.
Lol, you poor bastard.Av bet
Sorry, is being a champ now in a stacked division a meaningless feat? It's one of the most coveted and challenging things to achieve in mixed martial arts. His performance did not demonstrate that he has what it takes to be a future champ. Could he be? Of course, but this fight doesn't scream evidence.
Does that "W" stand for "what" or "want"?
dude, wtf?
Nah too slow and doesn't have the takedowns to make up for slowness.
Toughness and great ground skills alone aren't title holding traits.
I've been watching mma for years, trained at Jackson's MMA from 2008-2013, had multiple amateur mma fights, and kickboxing matches. Ive watched enough MMA.
Kron will never get close to a title shot. I think he will have some entertaining fights though.
Kron Gracie will never crack the top 5 of any MMA weight division with that style of fighting. He might have a chance at a belt in another promotion someday
Slow in which way?
Movement or strikes..
His hands looked pretty quick to me...? With decent power
Mostly movement but at the championship level his strikes also. He needs to train with Maia a lot. Maia is better at takedowns than Kron, getting to Maia level of takedowns would be huge for Kron's championship chances.
Say what you want about the gracies...
But kron gracie is for real...he will hold UFC gold before his career ends..IMO
The guy showed everything he needed to tonight to be a champion, he just needs alittle time to round his game out abit more
He has the heart and bloodline of a champion, Cub fought phenomenally and Kron was just abit behind him on the stand up ..didnt have the answers now but bit down on his mouth piece and fought the fight to end..A true Warriors path
Hickson and Kron clearly > the rest of the clan and its not even close..
Im excited to see him progress..theres an official uncrowned MMA prince in the UFC boys..hes coming

He should switch camp, that Diaz´s boxing style is bad for his brain.
That or he fell onto his shoulder, which is common in grappling, and tore the ligaments that connect that area.
Happened to me when I was wrestling years ago. Guy fell on me awkwardly and I fell on the point of the shoulder. I heard a crunch and after that I was in a sling for about a month
Football players get that injury a lot too.

The Diaz camp is only good if you're a DIAZ: Tall + Granite chin.
If you're short with a good chin, bad camp. Diaz's are slow, plodding, eat kicks and punches but their reach, chins and cardio bail them out. Kron has a chin, but poor boxing and no reach at all. No wrestling just like the Diaz brothers.
Kron wasted time with the Scrap Pack. He needed a true camp like AKA or something, now he's old.

He got his ass kicked by the ghost of Cub Swanson. The elite of the division would eat him for breakfast.Say what you want about the gracies...
