Perfect technique in every facet, insane pace, unmatched athletic ability. I'm not much of a fan of his but I respect his abilities in the cage

Wow so he's just the perfect fighter huh? <45>

His clinch game is amazing, nice muay Thai. Puts punching combos together well. Uses his strikes to setup his ground game, and vice versa. Pretty much everything you can't do ts.

Defending his title and winning mma fights....

one of the saltiest threads I've seen in a long time. Don't let your hatred for someone turn you into a blind fool.

TS is just being a cunt for the sake of it, but I'll respond, anyway.

He might be the best in the clinch of anyone in MMA. In terms of physical abilities, he is the fastest fighter in his division (Horiguchi and Dodson were comparable) and he clearly has the best stamina (he's incredible relative to his division; it's not because he's a FlyW). He's as good as anyone in the sport at cutting off the cage, and he is much more versatile than the majority of strikers in the sport in the sense that he is very good on the front and back foot. I'd suggest that he isn't necessarily a great striker from distance on the feet, but he's still clearly very good relative to most, and he's getting more comfortable in the pocket as of late while correcting some mistakes he used to make (backing up in straight lines with his chin up, etc.). He's an elite MMA wrestler (as good as anyone in the sport at transitioning between striking and grappling) and he has an ever improving top game (to the point where he just smashed and submitted a very legitimate blackbelt on the ground).

He has pretty close to the most complete skillset in the sport, and when you factor in his athletic gifts, fight IQ and heart (he's never shown an ounce of quit in his career), you see why he's likely the best fighter in the sport.

I think he's very well rounded but it's his speed which makes him the best.

His striking can leave a bit to be desired at times

Name one fighter in the division who can outstrike him.

Knocked out Benavidez. Outstruck Dodson with ease. Was lighting Cruz up to the point Cruz grapplefucked him to win. Who else can do that?

[kiley_sean]

He's the best striker in his division

Which is actually impressive considering the depth of talent at 125.

So, what exactly is Mighty Mouse elite at?

* Cardio
* Footwork
* Forward pressure
* Takedown defense
* Transitions
* Winning

Say what you will about his striking but it's precise and good enough to beat most of his opponents.

he's only faster because he's a tiny little manlet.

Everyone is a tiny manlet in his division, yet he's faster than all of them.

 

[Toxxus]

He can fly very fast and has a tremendous strength-to-weight ratio...

 

[cevo]

I think he's very well rounded but it's his speed which makes him the best.

Not much faster than Dodson for example.

 

[tenniswhiz]

Not much faster than Dodson for example.

At any time during a 25 minute fight, MM can move like lightning.

Dodson can move like lightning sparingly, IF he conserves.
