He seems mentally done. The Cejudo loss seems to have really knocked his confidence and his chin seems cracked now too.
Floyd Mayweather and Pacquaio prove otherwise. They are still beating younger contenders/champions in their 30s - 40sYes I think if he solves the "unwired" part, he can still make a run. Physically the dude is top shelf. Strong, quick, explosive. Age seems not to be an issue at all.
It started with the Cejudo fight and the pressure keeps stacking up after every finish loss after.I thought he looked good against Aldo -- it was the Sandhagen fight and the most recent one that left me a little flummoxed.
Yup, he's pretty heavily muscled for his size, and as any sherdogger should know from personal experience, muscle weighs more than fat.I really don't think he could make the weight. I think 135 is hell for him to begin with. I can't remember where I heard it, but it was that Marlon and Edson Barboza are very close in weight.. make of that what you will.
Another victim of the Costanza EffectHe realized he is short and bald, nothing in physical existence can make up for it and also he realized there are levels to this shit when Cejudo outwilled him
Haha. Missed this post initially but I 100% concur.He realized he is short and bald
idk about that. he got beat up and finished but it wasnt anything life changing. now what sandhagen did and what font did 2 months after, that is life changiingThe Cejudo fight ended Marlon's prime. It's a shame but that shit happens in the fight game a lot.
Not a good comparison, unlike Barboza. Moraes actually got a title shot. Barboza is a gatekeeper.He's just not as good as people thought imo. His cardio isn't the best, boxing defense fairly iffy and he doesn't like being pressured.
People thought he was the heir to Aldo but he's more like another Barboza.
Doesnt mean you cant take stuff then go off of it. I just threw that out there btw not saying he is juicing. Just hard to wrap my head around his downward spiral. I should have elaborated further to begin with.USADA? He entered the UFC post USADA
Don't compare legit boxers to mmaFloyd Mayweather and Pacquaio prove otherwise. They are still beating younger contenders/champions in their 30s - 40s
Imagine being beaten up by a 10 year old boy sized man.
