Who else thinks Halsey beats Schlemenko?

I know it's mma, but think of the ward fight. Heard the sameeee. How'd it end

Its not just about look at W-L. Bellator MW is so shallow, you dont get many high level fights there. Lombard is definitely a top20 fighter and he was fairly competitive in 25 minuts fight, and it was years ago.
I dont think Storm is a top 20 fighter neither. But I dont see many fighters out of the top 20 with more credit than him. Lets see how he deals with a legit wrestler in Halsey.

Uriah Hall-Tiago Santos was a main card MW fight at UFC 175, and I dont think any of them are more legit fighters than Storm

Lombard could not make it in the UFC MW division and he was much better than Storm. I also agree it's about more than the W or L ... Storm has looked beatable, and has not completely wrecked his opponents. Bisping is #11 .. can you imagine Storm having any chance to beat Bisping? I can't.

As far as Uriah Hall he has had much better competition and is more well known. Main card or Prelim is many times less about skill and more about a combination of skill and name recognition.

You're exaggerating Tito's loss. This time Shlemenko doesn't come to fight 220 lbs giant moose. In his weight class he is better and more experienced than most of his opposition.

i could see halsey winning

Halsey's takedown game is way better than Ward's. At the end of the day if Alexander can stuff the takedown he will win, if not it's good night irene.

I'm sorry dude but looking through your posts in this article it is very clear that you are an absolute dummy. Go back to the UFC discussion please.

Lombard proved to not be a enough threat to the belt at MW in UFC but a close fight against Okami is legit by itself.

Anyways, if you think there are 30 MWs better than Shlemenko, where they are?

You can find a couple or so in WSOF or in KSW maybe. Vasilevsky at M-1 is the most legit prospect from East Europe and he actually lost against Falcao when he wasnt in the decline yet, Storm KOed Falcao just some months lately.

There are not legit MWs in Japanese orgs neither, maybe Fukuda, so tell me where are these legit MWs that you think about? In regional orgs that I dont know yet? or maybe you think the whole UFC roster is better than Shlemenko? in fact you seem a UFCfanboy pretty much.

I think Halsey has better wrestling and BJJ than Ward. He's also bigger and stronger. His striking is less proven though.

 

[forrestcries]

It is definitely a bit worrying that Storm got slept by Tito within 20 seconds of hitting the ground too. Halsey isn't a BJJ guru, but neither is Tito and he made Schlemenko look like an amateur. Halsey did the same to Ramirez and Cooper, too. He's slick sometimes.

 

[Todo Bale]

I would not be at all surprised if Halsey takes him down and chokes him unconscious in the first or second. Nor would I be surprised if Halsey blankets him and smothers him into subordination for five rounds straight. I would, however, be disappointed because I would much rather see Manhoef punch schlemenko's head into the audience stands.

 

[CC27]

It's an interesting fight, but competition wise this is a prelim or possibly fight pass prelim fight. Storm is not even top 25. Doesn't mean I won't enjoy the fight ... but there is no "high level" mathcup here.

I think Storm has a high chance to lose this one.

Storm is top 20 for sure, probably in the 15 range, no chance he is top 10 and he would be smoked by the top MW but he's def top 20.

 

[saminex]

Boom! Halsey did the Tito on Schlemenko.

 

[eseseses681]

Damn, Alex. Did you not work on your wrasslin' these past four months?

It's alright. I still love you, Storm. You'll be back and better than ever.

 

[VIP1349]

Kept saying it, I didn't want it to be this way but knew it would be.

 

[PIT FIGHTER]

Very sad to watch. Halsey was transitioning into the sub before Storm even comprehended that he was taken down.

Fuck.

unless he fights a well rounded wrestler. that was way too easy.

You can deny it all you want

That was one of the WTF moments in mma history we can add to the thread

You are right. Storm crushed him. Oh wait, no, he got crushed because he is a WW who was fighting at MW because of the non-existent competition and he is not a top 20 fighter. I told you so.

Lombard is not a bad fighter. He just could not make it at MW, and he is better than Storm. Storm just got smashed. Pick 30 MW fighters with a ground game and that's 30 guys who have a good chance to beat him. He is far too undersized to be good at MW.

He fought at I think 168lb before Bellator, there is a reason he jumped to MW and not WW. Storm simply is not that good.

OK this is kinda a dumb post. He decided to fight larger fighters because he thought he wasn't that good?
