Unheralded island boy with no big show experience did what GSP, Lawler, Hendo couldn't. .
Idk that blonde dork in the UFC as well but maybe his dad had him doing karate early on.With his dad being a decent MMA fighter himself, it's safe to say Ray Cooper III is most likely the first fighter to be training MMA his whole life to break out. He is the new breed.
Are people really discrediting his wins over Shields because of his age?
Since 2015 Shields has only lost to Fitch, Palhares and Cooper.
I bet if Cooper was a Russian Sherdog would be calling for a UFC title shot for the guy. Shameful.
I know, right? It's like douchebags are so quick to act like he's turned in several consecutive dog shit "Tippy Toes BJ" performances in a row so he's a scrub and Cooper III didn't accomplish anything by smoking him twice.Are people really discrediting his wins over Shields because of his age?

Especially finishing a big name once considered one of the best in the weight class.Cooper III is an example of how tournaments can build stars. 4 fights over the last 3.5 months has accelerated his momentum and very quickly built him a fanbase.
