Simon Marcus former Glory champ making his MMA debut

[ElLunico]

Dude too old to make that transition.. But should still be able to get a few wins against cans and make some change

 

[On The Spectrum]

A Muay Thai champ who transitioned to kickboxing to become champ, and will now transition to MMA much like his foe Alex Pereira.

Simon also holds a win over Adesanya in Muay Thai.

His clinch game, knees, and elbows are his specialty. Body made of stone. The MW division is slowly becoming striker’s heaven.

I’m excited!

 

[PPVpoints]

Isnt Simon around 35 years of age? So who cares, too late to do much besides pull a Saki....Also he's maybe too big for 170 and too small for 185.

35? LMAO. How old was DC when he fought Stipe for the HW title? How old was Stipe? How old was Dan Henderson when fought the ducker Bispong for the MW title?

DC and Hendo both have wrestling backgrounds and didn't debut when they were 35 dumbass. It's much harder for a striker to transition at an older age.

Why is he fighting Ray Romano?

Ray Romano fused with Stephen Espinoza.

Even the oldest fighters you can think of were renowned world class MMA fighters by the time they were 35.

How old was DC when he started his MMA career is what you should be asking yourself, which was 30...5 years younger than Marcus. Furthermore Heavyweights age differently.

 

[johndhi]

Not a good sign that he misspelled jiujtisu in the hash tags

 

[TJ Dillashank]

He wins by KO or loses on the ground

Obviously you should mentor Simon Marcus since you obviously know his future. I'm sure Marcus would love to hear from a scrub like you.

Who gives a fuck about when they started their career. You got to old fucks fight for the HW title belt at 38 and 40+ then another 46 year old fighting for the MW belt when he was very much underserving of it. You keep forgetting son that this is the UFC and bullshit runs amuck.

Because they're experienced 'old fucks', you dingus.

Simon Marcus isn't an experienced 'old fuck' in MMA terms, he's an aging rookie.

How long did it take Ngannou, Dr Smooth pea brain? What about Izzy?

 

[PPVpoints]

How did Izzy win the belt when he wasn't an old fuck?

If Marcus is 35, whats stopping him from fighting for the belt at 40+ when he would then be considered an 'old fuck'?

HW's age differently? LMAO, ok Dr Scientists. If you say so.

Ngannou is a heavyweight with freak power. The weight class has never been super deep so a person with freak power can always have a chance at making a run. Izzy didn't debut in his first fight at 35 dumbass. He started fighting MMA in 2012 which means he would've been 23 at the time. He competed in kickboxing AND mma simultaneously. Show me a fighter that makes their pro mma debut at 35 and then you'll have an argument.

 

[dog y]

Why is he fighting Ray Romano?

Why didn't everyone fight Ray Romano way back then?

 

[Tokoloko]

Why are so many kickboxing guys transitioning into MMA??!!

Because of Izzy?

More money and much, much more opportunities..

Also Slovak Giant - Tomas Mozny recently signed with MMA promotion (He was main sparring partner for Gane during his preparation for fight with Volkov.)

 

[Dreyga Hates You Sherbums]

How did Izzy win the belt when he wasn't an old fuck?

Izzy had began fighting in MMA 5 years before he joined the UFC at 28. He had been training grappling even longer than that
