Why Rory will be the next 170-lb champion

Hector Lombard will become the WW champion.

There's also a good chance Rory would have won had he not just layed on top of Lawler doing absolutely nothing after he took Lawler down near the beginning of the 3rd round. Lawler ended up hurting Rory bad right after the ref stood them up. Despite what a previous poster said Rory wasn't just desperately trying to hold Lawler down. Lawler wasn't even doing anything when Rory was laying on him, they were both just laying there doing nothing and Rory didn't seem that gassed so it was weird that he did that.

It was a bad stand-up by Yamasaki tbh. Rory was not just lying there, he was working.
 
This is a joke thread, right? His best win was ellenberger, and that was boring as fuck. I don't see rory ever being champ, way too many animals at WW who'd shit all over him.

4. He's better than the champ: He will outclass Johny on the feet and Hendricks would not be able to hold him down.

Rory going to outclass Johny on the feet the same way he outclassed Lawler, amirite?

Brown vs Rory in a 5 Rounder, Rory breaks like he did against Condit.
 
I'd pick
Macsonald over
Condit(everyone whose saying condit wrecked him needs to rewatch fight,rory won first 2 rounds eeeeaaaaasssssssiiiiiiiiillllllllyyyyy, and condit caught him in 3rd)
Lombard(ima huge lombard fan)
I'd favor
-Hendricks and woodley against him
-lawler would be 50/50 to me
 
He won't, he doesn't excel at anything, specialists that can keep it in their world that are also highly skilled should be favored over him.

His wrestling isn't good enough to effectively take the top guys down like Lombard, Woodley, Lawler, Hendricks. And his jab isn't good enough to shut down the power shots those guys are gonna throw at him. Don't see him being champ, coming from a Canadian.

This is how I see it.
 
I question his finishing ability.

Not finishing as the champ where retaining your belt is key is different to not finishing on your way up to a title shot.


Being able to fight safe is a very sgood skill, not being able to do anything else is a severe problem.
 
ts how would you predict how a fight between him and the killer that is Lombard would play out? Think he will be able to jab his way to victory? lol
 
He has to beat GSP in a real match at Tristar no practice just one day 5 rounds nobody needs to know the outcome. If he can beat GSP cleanly then he can be champ if not more work is needed. GSP is healing up so how about Carmont as a training partner until GSP gets back.
 
I disagree that his loss to Lawler was "razor thin." But it is even more misleading to say he got "whooped"/dominated.
 
Can't take you seriously if you think Rory beat Robbie.
