Why does everyone think Rumble Johnson will do well as a HW?

He might be a hard puncher at LHW but I doubt his punches will have the same effect at HW
 
HW is full of cans any decent sized lhw would make it to the top 20
 
Well, I think even MM could do well at HW.

I would pick DJ over Kimbo.
 
No one in the UFC hits as hard as Rumble.
Gus held up amazingly against Jones and DC clobbering him in wars... Rumble connects solid once and the forum was claiming Gus' chin was gone.
He made DC faceplant like someone shot him with a shotgun.
He fucking murdered Arlovski

There isn't a current UFC fighter that hits harder.
His gas tank and susceptibility on the ground are the only reasons I'd pick Werdum and Cain over him.
 
He outstruck Arlovski, broke his jaw, and beat him?

Came very very close to stopping a guy who was undefeated at HW?


It's not hard, TS.
 
Rumble has more than enough power to KO anyone at HW. The fact he's signficantly faster than most HWs as well as being a more talented striker than the majority of HWs suggests to me that he'd be a massive problem for pretty much anyone on the feet at HW.
 
Yes he looked great and whooped Arlovski. He'd have to weigh in around 240 to stand a chance against the big boys though. Just stay at LHW.
 
How? JBJ & DC would both win a 49-46.


Brah do you not even watch fights.


DC got worked by a longer Muay Thai striker in Jon Jones. Werdum would eat him long range.

Jon Jones doesn't have the power to compensate a striking battle with Werdum and his wrestling will be null and void.
 
Rumble, DC & Jones are all terrible styles for Werdum.

Cormier?? I dont see that as a terrible style match up. Werdum is a great fighter in the clinch and he's great on the ground, I dont see where DC has the advantage in those positions. And Werdum is the better striker in this fight along with height and reach.

Mark Hunt begs to differ.

I've seen zero evidence of this.
Both absolutely starch guys.
Mark Hunt has more mass but Rumble throws a LOT faster.

Its hard to tell when both of them crumple guys.

Hunt is the only guy who may hit harder, youre right.
But I can't think of anyone else I'd Make that argument of
 
...he did beat Arvloski who was recently "on track" to fight for the title.

LOL do you watch???

That's what everyone said about DC. That he would over power and nullify the wrestling.
You going to doubt Jones again?
He will tool DC and would be a great matchup for Werdum
 
He cuts to 205 for a reason and the reason is because he thinks he will have the most success at 205.
The HW title will always be the most prestigious in boxing and mma.
So 205 is still around for the guys who don't want to fight the big dogs.

Imagine how great the HW division would be if 205 didn't exist.
Cutting down to 205 lbs you are a big man. Plenty big to be a hw. All imo
