Yeah, it is all 100% true.Well sorry if I misunderstood. It is a favorite tactic on Sherdog.
When he left his prime is probably impossible to pinpoint. I knew it was coming. Late 30s for a lightweight is old. I do agree that he didn’t look himself against Justin, but in the fight he did have flashes of brilliance and even almost finishing Justin who was save by the bell. The fight with Charles was a lot more troubling. At no point did he look like he was even in that fight.
That said, Charles controlling him on the ground isn't necessarily shocking. Kevin Lee is not quite at the level and was able to mount Tony as well. I think it would be more troubling to me if he was pieced up on the feet by Charles and never able to get anything off. Both Gaethje and Charles are awful matchups for him. Charles earlier in his career would have wilted.
