yeah he only grounded him in rnd 3 , Gavin smashed his body with body kicks that took the air out the tire. the big difference there between Damon and Tucker. I do think now Billy should get the finish in under 2.5
He looked quite good though against makovsky. There might be a little value on Osbourne but I am not too sure. Asu has the wrestling advantage for sure. Osborne is also quite chinny. I do kind of like him though at +145. Will do some more research
Jacoby will destroy him with in n out movements and frequency of strikes. Nzechukwu uses a double deck which is fatal in MMA due to lack of defense, Jacoby will destroy him with straight punches, he also has more complete striking, throws a lot more kicks.
Kennedy is a flake cause even Devin Clark wobbled him. and Jacoby can too. but Jacoby isn’t as ruthless with kicks anymore. He’s become a kick boxer who only boxes. He’s got less tools in the box. Kennedy can Strike decent and wrestle . he has wide reach and height. not a strong lean either side but i would lean slightly on Kennedy 55/45 for just being more well rounded and big. Jacoby always has razor thin fights. Cant trust he’ll go and put on a A+ performance.
In vain as such a reach when working from a double deck, he simply does not know how to use his proportions. Both of them do not possess offensive wrestling, Nzechukwu showed a little something against Roberson, who has a non-existent TDD.
I think so as well. He’s very good from the front headlock and has strong hips. I do favor Wells very slightly, though.
It only takes one fight for me to know a guy can wrestle or not. He fought Ion and clark last who are wrestlers by trade. He’s definitely got wrestling in his tool box, enough to pose a threat and ctrl Jacoby. id say most of the reason we never see Kennedy wrestle is due to style matchup. but he does have decent double against the cage and has the strength to pressure Jacoby and secure ctrl time.
Nzechukwu was overpowered by average wrestlers. I did not see any compactness and wrestling potential in Nzechukwu. While Jacoby showed simple TDD and very easily defends basic level changing takedowns.
Who overpowered him?
Darko Stosic, Danilo Marques mid wrestlers...
I’d be pretty surprised if he hit tds on jacoby
That’s not what i’m saying. its a tool in his box he can use. Wrestling isn’t just takedowns , its clinch work, cagestalling. He submitted Clark to which is all a part of grappling. I don’t know why you guys dont get it. im not saying he is Khabib. but it’s there if he wants to keep Jacoby guessing. Even if he fails, its going to force Jacoby to defend and drop his hands. Kennedy doesn’t have to worry about Jacoby td at all. Its right or left hand.
