Up until recently, that guy looked like an absolute killer and I honestly thought he was on his way to a belt.

Then, the 3 rd against Cejudo happened. IIRC, he was spectacular in that fight until that round when he gassed.

Since then he has had a pretty bad streak. What is wrong with him? Is it his chin? Psychology perhaps? I mean the guy is the full package but it just feels like something got unwired...........Thoughts?
 
He shouldn't have left Mark Henry. Good coach. Now we're seeing him in retirement league bellator next month.

It's kind of sad but I must concede that it might look like that. Fuuuuuuck, talk about an epic career derailment.

Yeah, it seems like he might have partly blamed Henry for losing to Cejudo, but he's looked like shit since leaving him. Needs to get back ASAP, Barboza probably should go back too while we're at it.
 
WSOF champ and a streak of first round finishes in the UFC

He's hit his ceiling unfortunately

Would be fun to see him in Bellator
 
Cejudo turned that fight around in the second round when he began kneeing him in the face.

His chin is gone and he has no idea what to do when hurt. Also bad mistake going for side control vs Font who had easier time to explode to his feet and throw bombs like madman. Should have kept half guard and smother him more.
 
Bullies tend to be glass cannons. He got stood up to against Cejudo and he'll likely never get over it.
 
Moraes cuts too much weight and it effects him during his fights.
