Derek Brunson

Jack Hermansson

Darren Till

Hermansson and strickland maybe? Can't see him beating anyone else on that list. Tills lack of ground game would make me favour hermansson over him.

 

[VinceArch]

I'd pick him to beat Costa.

 

[Carrotman23]

I'd pick him to beat Costa.

Agreed. Costa is a volume striker and I feel like Till could deal with that well . Deliver a nice elbow or two straight to Costas dome.

Exactly. Man, that was a nice elbow he landed on Whittaker.

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

I think he can beat Whittaker, Cannonier, Costa, Hermansson and Strickland. I don't think I would favor him over Whittaker or Cannonier and Costa might be about 50/50 but I favor Till over Hermansson and Strickland.

 

[blaseblah]

Costa for sure.

 

[Tracav]

I'd pick him to beat Costa.

That's a big maybe, but why not. Maybe Strickland too, but that's it

 

[theleerygoose]

No one, thats why hes ranked below them.

 

[Judge Lance Ito]

None of them. Till sucks.

hermansson is a relatively bad wrestler and wouldn't be able to take it to the ground so he'd get peiced up on the feet I agree there. Strickland would sadly just jab Tills face to a unanimous decision sadly.

Those were the (only) two names that popped out to me, and maybe Costa depending on his head game. Even then, though, I could see Strickland and Hermansson both beating him.

 

[smiles mma]

Didn't he have a close/competitive fight against Robert?
Till is a borning fighter, but he sells himself well

 

[Fergelmince]

I'd pick him to beat Costa.

Agreed. Costa is a volume striker and I feel like Till could deal with that well . Deliver a nice elbow or two straight to Costas dome.

Till wins by tying his opponents up in the clinch and catching them on the release. Its exactly how he out pointed gastelum and wonderboy, and he tried to do it with whittaker. Whittaker's footwork and in-fight adjustments negated that pretty quick.

I think Costa is way too strong to let Till take advantage of the clinch and Till is definitely not going to handle one of costa's left hooks.

 

[gaffbyknees2]

Darin Chimaev now beats everyone except his husband.

 

[MMA_AZ]

A win over Kelvin 2 1/2 years ago shouldn't make him ranked #8. Decent showing against Bobby but eh

Maybe Stricklands crazy ass

 

[Uncertainly Principled]

edit: realistically he stands a chance against all the strikers including Israel, but anyone with wrestling in their arsenal embarrass him, unless he really is learning to smesh

 

[eatu4tea]

Maybe a confidence shot Hermansson, but it's a long shot...

Till arguably lost to Kelvin and shouldn't even be ranked in the first place. He sucks and is Khamzats cum dump during training camp.

 

[Deleted member 587672]

None of them. Till sucks.

Thanks for the expert analysis Joe

 

[13Seconds]

I like his chances vs Hermansson, Strickland and Costa. He could also potentially win two rounds against Izzy lol

 

[Travis Alexander]

Till loses to them all, with the exception of Hermanson (potentially) given the fact that Till has crisper standup and could likely negate Jack’s mediocre wrestling. Aside from Jack the rest of the top guys have their way with him.
