At HW? He'll be fine. You can get away with being a pure striker at HW.
My mistake was cleared up before you came and posted your completely useless picture, if you wouldve read 2 posts farther than you did, you wouldve not seemed like such a douche. Heavyweight is different in different sports and this is the UFC discussion not the kickboxing discussion, or else you could reasonably expect me to know the size of the guy off the top of my head. Simmer downIf only we had some resource we could use to find out the size of Hesdy Gerges! Having seen him fight I'm going to guess around six and a half feet tall and about 250lbs. Far too large for LHW. I guess the only way to know for sure is to find him and measure him, since I'm sure no one has ever thought to do it. And if they have I'm sure they kept the information private!
In the time you asked everyone (who likely already knew) to slow down and consider that he may be a LHW in MMA, you could have Googled his stats and age and come to the obvious realization that 205 isn't feasible. That's a bit dumb to be quite honest. I wasn't being particularly ugly about it, but now you've gone and started fussing like a girl. I'm going to guess you own a few pair of skinny jeans and a really dainty wrist.My mistake was cleared up before you came and posted your completely useless picture, if you wouldve read 2 posts farther than you did, you wouldve not seemed like such a douche.

Anyone who uses bold letters has a small dick for sure. Before ylu tell me to google, you can READ on that same page instead of being rude.

thats the worst post of the thread for numerous reasonsYep. Kickboxing truly is a joke. You've got some outliers who actually are elite athletes like Saki, but even then, the technique is painfully sloppy.
This is how big of a joke K1 was: they booked one of their champions in Musashi against Sean Ohaire (yes you read that correctly) in a TITLE FIGHT. A good contemporary equivalent would be CM Punk challenging Tyron Woodley for the WW title.
What an odd qualifier for determining cock size. You must have a lot of experience in the field.Anyone who uses bold letters has a big dick for sure. Before ylu tell me to google, you can READ on that same page instead of being rude. Kid
whiff.
The only one I can think of that the UFC did (pre CM Punk) was Toney/Couture, and that barely counts, as Toney is one of the greatest boxers of all-time. Lesnar doesn't count either, as he was already a prolific combat sportsman in his own right.
K1/JMMA were a joke for the reasons you stated. That's why no one takes them seriously as sporting orgs. Musashi was their champion at the time he fought Sean fucking OHaire. Gimme a fucking break.
But all of that is moot. My point was that K1 was a joke regarding the level of skill of it's competitors. It's ruleset is vague and, quite frankly, stupid. It doesn't involve much technique, just rock em sock em robot nonsense. Granted there have been guys with solid technique that have competed there, but they're few & far between.
I enjoyed Pride & K1. Saki is perhaps my favorite fighter & I'd wager Aerts is one of the toughest people walking the globe. But I view those organizations for what they were. Bob Sapp had success in K1. Cmon now.
He's 42? His recent record is pretty bad though lol

He looked old and fat in his fight with Badr Hari, who looked old and out of shape also. Don’t see him doing much in the UFC. He isn’t explosive enough, has no real footwork advantage over UFC fighters, he is a tough bastard but I just don’t see it. K1 and Glory fighters have always been way overrated on these forums as far as there ability to come to mma and dominate. MMA has a much higher global participation rate and is more competitive.
Hesdy gerges fought the best of the best and just came off a fun fight with badr hari. Fuck it im down

Why isn't he allowed to like Saki just because he isn't the best? Saki is a Dragonball character and stands Short and Proud (compared to other HW kickboxers).You pick Saki as your favorite fighter while there were guys more talented in kickboxing than him like Ernesto Hoost,Peter Aerts,Remy Bonjasky,Stefan Leko,Semmy Schilt,Ray Sefo, Andy Hug,Jerome Le Banner,Mike Bernardo,Cro Cop,Francisco Filho,Alexey Ignashov,Branko Cicatic,Sam Greco
not saying that he isnt allowed to like saki because he isnt good as them,anyone can obviously enjoy more any fighter that he likes to watch no matter if there is better than them or not,the problem that he writes like he only knows who saki is and pretty much the others are trashWhy isn't he allowed to like Saki just because he isn't the best?

It wasn't a bad fight by any means. Hesdy would still ko ngannou stiffHesdy looked like complete shit against Hari... and Hari looked like complete shit himself.
So yeah i give him a good chance at HW.
