UFC fighters react to Lomachenkos Kicking Skills

It'll never happen but I'd love to see him try mma. I think he'd do great.
 
First day of MT class, already throwing better kicks than half of the ufc roster. He could probably choke out your average blue belt with 1 hour of watching bjj videos on youtube. A+ level athlete skills on display
 
He's an animal, no doubt. It's a shame that no kickboxing or MMA org would ever come close to paying him enough to get him to do a cross-over fight.
 
Loma and Usyk are great inspiration for training
 
I just hope his body holds up for more than another couple years. He looks to have had to change his style due to injuries, and I've seen too many elite guys just breeeeak down.
 
He actually knows how to wrestle too..... with basic bjj training and some training in the small gloves he would be a world class fighter within a year. Top 10 forsure. Just high level wrestlers like Cejudo might be his cryptonite though.... but he will never even attempt it because UFC sucks and is too cheap to pay real money. $500 000 is still pretty damn good but not much compared to these athletes.
 
Lomachenko has a Sambo background and wrestling background right? And spent a few years practicing dance which helps a lot with leg dexterity and strength.

I honestly found his kicks kinda slappy, hes a little stiff and awkward in the shoulder/back area, he doesnt turn his hips into the kicks and the way he throws his arm back when kicking is awkward (im aware they throw their arm back as they kick in muay thai and kickboxing, I mean the way he does it isnt super fluid).

All in all pretty good, hes super athletic and has years of experience kicking from his youth. Nothing insane though, I mean guys like Eddie Alvarez and Jon Jones were largely self taught into their careers lol.
