That was humiliating. Nearly every punch that landed flush either stunned or dropped him.
Seems like an issue with all xtreme couture fightersI never really believed that Lee was going to be a champion or anything even when he was doing well in the UFC but he was a decent prospect with a good top game.
He also seems like a great guy but like most of his peers at that time he suffered alot by trying to act like McGregor.
I know he's had some knee issues but his chin seems to be completely gone, he can't take damage at all even though I don't remember him taking any career altering damage.
I feel like his career went downhill since his old coach passed away and he just couldn't recover. He did pretty decently in his early UFC career, he had a relatively competitive fights with Charles Oliveira aswell.
I was shocked when he had a competitive fights with Diego Sanchez in EFC which again was due to his knees but watching his latest pfl fight, it's shocking how bad he looked.
I would attribute the lack of takedowns to his knee issues but I really don't understand what happened to his striking & chin, he is only 32 years old aswell & it's not like he started MMA at a young age or has had several wars.
What happened to the Mo Town Phenom?
To be fair, his knee fell apart pretty early in that one.buddy, he's BEEN washed up. back in his day i thought he could be a contender at LW but the man was too arrogant and too dumb to close the gaps in his style. he's a wrestler with no chin and shitty defense who thinks he's a striker, that's a big red flag already. then when he actually wrestles he gasses the fuck out. low fight IQ can't be trained out of you.
he nearly lost to Diego Sanchez in 2022, think about that guys.
Lee wasn't his biggest win at all, who exactly is claiming this ? Even someone like Thomson who was fringe top 10 was a better win.it's also fucked up that he is tony ferguson biggest win
Guy was really exciting, never turned down any opponent, and despite being an absolute mental head case (literally had to get a psych meds before the Justin fight) still racked up 6x top 10 wins. Don't know if "overrated" is the right term, he had a great career and was fun to watch.which goes to show how overrated tony was.
