Not a bit, but alot.If he works on his striking abit he will be a force for sure.
Well Werdum is done now officially I think with the UFC, so dosen't have to worry about him. But yeah He's definitely going to want to look to broaden his game in case that grappling dosen't hold up against certain opponents to the kind of level he gets success at currently with it.o

He showed amazing grappling last night. Spectacular dominance and the first forearm choke in UFC history.
However, this won't work on Werdum, Blaydes, and Stipe.
Wish him best of luck, and hope he get's in a lot of good boxers and MT fighters to spar cause this hype train is officially legit, and I'm on board the magical journey.
Agreed, he has great offensive wrestling and beautiful bjj transitions, but if somebody like Francis lands on him like his opponent last night, it’s nights out, harambè.Well Werdum is done now officially I think with the UFC, so dosen't have to worry about him.

Loses aren't great.. but Akgul is the second (arguably first) best heavyweight in freestyle right now. At least he didn't get tech-falled. Akgul used to destroy everyone with his ankle lace.Why did you post him losing to Akgul though?
Isn't this supposed to be a hype train? Lol.
I like that Arlovski match up a lot. I don’t think he gets it, though, since Arlovski has won 2 in a row and 3-2 in his last 5 (should have probably won that split dec vs Sakai so could be 4-1).He's a good prospect for sure. Maybe he can fight Arlovski next. That seems to be the test to see if you're actually legit.
Romanov was a blue belt in BJJ until four days ago.
Espino has been a black belt for 10 plus years.
Espino has a better striking, better sub game, better BJJ, much much better guard game, much longer reach, better cardio, better team, better training.
Espino training with Romero and Oleiniks and other heavyweights at american top team, Romanov training with middle age non-professional BJJ whilte belts and nobodies at who knows where gym.
Only thing Romanov has on Espino is his age. This is very deceiving as fuck. Espino by quick sub if Romanov fights like this.
I would be pleasantly shocked & overly impressed if he suplexed Espino. Looking forward to seeing which guy takes a step towards the top 10-15. Leaning Espino, seems more potent on the feet. Romanov is considerably younger so an L wouldn't be too big of a setback. Espino really cant afford to lose if he wants to make a run into contention.
