I think Bader sucks and whenever anyone uses him to show the quality of Bellator it back fires ….when someone that sucks is double champs it isn’t good

He isn't double champ. He got smashed by both Nemkov and Anderson.

But he was top 5 when he left the UFC, which is now dominated by a 42 year old Glover who lost convincingly to both Anderson and Davis. Bellator has the better LHW division at this point.
 
Man FUCK Khabib's opinion. Runs his mouth way too much to not be fighting. I respect the undefeated record, but he didn't even entertain the idea of fighting at WW. If he took a bout with a fringe top 5 WW like Luque, id have a lot more respect for him, win or lose. But he won't even fight Olivera nowaday. I know he's trying to keep a family promise, but I'm sure his dad would be much prouder upstairs if he solidified his standing, cus his weaker strength of schedule makes him a non GOAT candidate, imo. His best win is Dustin Poirer.

Lol you didn't even watch what you replied to. In the video Khabib explains why he doesn't fight anymore. Nobody is on top forever and it's best to leave on your own terms.

He did what Conor failed to do

 
Johnny Walker is on a two fight losing streak just like Volkan Oezdemir, Jimmy Crute, and Dominick Reyes who is on a three fight losing streak.

If none of ^ guys are getting cut I don't see why Johnny Walker would. Sherdoggers really seem to dislike Johnny Walker, not sure if it is because he is 6"6 and jacked, but there seems to be a lot of glee when he loses. Jimmy Crute has been finished by every single ranked opponent he has ever fought yet many seem to regard him as a future champion or title contender; not sure why the double standard.

Walker will probably be ranked #11 or #12 when the rankings update so Ion Cutelaba (#15) seems appropriate.
Johnny Walker's hype train was huge back in 2019. Like potential Jon Jones-killer hype. People love seeing train wrecks. He's basically the Sokoudjou/Houston Alexander of this generation.

Also, SBG.
 
Well the idea would be that maybe his chin is so bad because he has to cut a lot to make 205 lbs, similar to when Dustin Poirier had a shit chin at 145, but an iron chin at 155. Might not work, but it's maybe worth a though/ try.

Walker is a huge LHW, he's like 6'5" with an insane reach and pretty wide frame. He's also jacked.
Maybe it wouldn't work out at all, but maybe it would.

I also just think that he needs a lot of work on the skill development, it's not like the solution is JUST to move up in weight. That could just be part of it.

Well said as usual ya bastad :)

Lol Glover does not dominate the division. He's favored to lose his next fight.
 
Why put Augusto and Yagshimuradov along with Vadim and Corey? Those guys are not that good IMO. Walker would at least be 50/50 with them. I think Rumble is a borderline case too because he struggled to put out 7-2 short notice Augusto out.

Why not just throw in old ass Romero and Manhoef on that list while you're at it?

Yoel Romero was offered a fight with Johnny Walker before the UFC released him; he declined for obvious reasons.

Johnny Walker matches up well with Bellators LHW division. Lots of wrestlers that he would have a significant size advantage over.

Ok, you got me. I pulled a no-watch but comment, I'll admit it. But the point still stands, he kinda bitched out. I think fighters put way too much stock in being undefeated or losing as little as possible, especially the GSP/Khabib types, as they see a loss and a possible learning experience as a huge blemish on not only their resume, but themselves. It almost seems like Khabib just isn't as confident without his dad in his corner (which shouldnt be true, since he kinda ran through Gaethje without him), and not really keen on taking new challenges like simply a fight or two at WW. He could easily still be LW champ with an L at WW but his ego can't let him lose that 0. In fact, has there ever been a fight where Khabib was the underdog at all minus early career? Being so scared of losing you quit in your prime just isn't logical to me, whatever the reasoning.
 
So you believe the Jon Jones who fought Thiago Santos & Dominick Reyes couldn't have been finished by Johnny Walker?

Jon was not exactly knocking guys out left and right before he gave up the LHW belt because he did not want to rematch Dominick Reyes.

The same Dominick Reyes who Jan Blachowicz knocked out 7 months later in two rounds.
No version of Jon Jones loses to any version of Johnny Walker.


Hope this helps.
 
After two back to back losses and now 1-4 in his last 5, Johnny Walker is in desperate need of a win & his time in the UFC might be on the line. Who would you like to see him fight next?

I think a matchup vs Ion Cutelaba would be a ton of fun. :)


Other.- Anyone at HW in 2023 after going up to 240lbs
 
Honestly he should just call it quits before he becomes a vegetable! He has no chance at all unless he uses the Machida’s counter strikes system and then he has 2%

He made his legacy. He got rich. What is the point of fighting after that? It would be largely just to personally challenge himself and go through additional adversity for the hell of it. Not everyone is built for that.

I know I'm not. I'm retiring as soon as it is financially viable.

Bellator has the better nothing….Nemkov is a beast
