The Italian dream may be over

I was there in the arena when Rumble ripped him up. Tele2arena at the time.

The most quiet crowd experience i've ever been part of. People just straight up just went for the exit with their head down.

Crazy

Yeah.. sweden loves mma but doesn't know it.. yet..
 
If he had solid boxing, with power, I guess he could be a "take one, give two" type of fighter, but I reckon he's been stagnating, technically speaking, for a while now. Also, decisionning or trying to submit gased opponents who spent the whole fight punching your head isn't a great long-term choice. He's still rather young isn't he ?
 
I remember him overpowering guys with wrestling. I think he's phisically strong and he is very tough. His striking is basic and predictable, he doesn't have talent.
Right, especially clinching up against the cage and wrestling now that you mention it. But yeah, he’s not elite at anything. He’ll never win a title and he’s wayyy too big to drop to 170 and 205 he’d get battered.
 
You had Raging Al fighting for the title and Matt Sera being the first 'Italian' dream.
