I know he is kind of hyped here, and I know he has some clear weaknesses as a fighter (ground game, "heart", possibly cardio) but his one loss against DC, who was likely the toughest possible match up for Rumble at LHW, has made him underrated here. How can you argue against this:

Top 10 ranked Nogueira: KO loss in round 1, Nogueira lands 0 strikes

Top 2 ranked Gustafsson: TKO loss in round 1, Gustafsson lands 10 strikes

Top 10 ranked Manuwa: KO loss in round 2, Manuwa lands 8 strikes

Top 5 ranked Bader: KO loss in round 1, Bader lands 0 strikes.


Thats four top 10 ranked/elite LHW opponents landing 18 strikes combined on Rumble before all getting KTFO. Thats just ridiculous. It is also an unparalleled dominance in LHW history. He also completely outclassed top5 ranked Davis in a way no-one has ever beaten Davis and top5 ranked Glover is likely going to be added on that victim list aswell on July.

He is not the most accomplished and he has some clear weaknesses, but at his best he is better than Jones, prime Shogun, etc.
 
People talk about how he's going to KO Jones all the time
 
Questionable ground game and loses important fights. And your comment about him being better than Jones is fucking dumb.
 
thread title - not hyped

first line of post - he is kinda hyped

which is it TS????
 
Because he's yet to beat someone who is in his prime and on a winning streak. He will be hyped once he beats DC or Jones
 
People try and act like he's a one trick pony. He is going to absolutely murder Glover.

Widely regarded on Sherdog as the biggest threat to the #1 P4P fighter isn't hyped enough for you?
 
Good fighter who will beat a lot of big names over his career, but too one dimensional to ever go undefeated for long
 
Johnson vs Teixeira is the BEST non-title fight scheduled!
 
Better than Jones and Prime shogun?
Well he should be the GOAT then
 
Uhm, he is pretty damned hyped. How hyped do you think he should be?
 
He's beloved here but he's in between fights. If he beats Glover get ready for Rumble LHW Goat threads and other weird stuff.

Because we don't take kindly to folks who toss ladies' yoga matts in gyms. Rumble needs to learn to respect the ladies.
 
Rumble is great and will beat Glover to a pulp.... I don't ever see him getting past DC or Jones though....

Accomplishments are not the same as the current skill level of a fighter. It really is amazing how stupid you people are here.
