Will Brooks Calls Out Edson Barboza and Dismisses His Kicks

Maybe Poirier if he beats Johnson. Barboza vs Dustin would be awesome. Really depends on who Alvarez fights next to be honest.

You're right. Barboza should prove himself first. I forgot he lost to ferg so recently.

I'd like to see a rematch eventually, but yeah as much as I love Boze he is behind Tony and Khabib at the moment.

Held is weak. Leglock specialist pretty much the Ian Entwhistle of Bellator. Chandler is a great win but Brooks arguably lost their first fight. Lol at Brooks being #1.

Because he won a close decision against Pearson he thinks he can strike with Edson?
The kid has a lot of talent but he should fight a top 15-10 fighter first.

He took that fight on short notice. Brooks is being really underrated in this thread. I have it 50/50. Barboza has a bad chin and can't take being hit to the face. Barboza is clearly the better striker but Brooks has good hands as well, has a lot of heart, and hits hard. He also has great wrestling. Can see Edson fighting a great fight and winning a decision. I can also see him getting clipped and finished.

Don't sleep on Will Brooks.

Edson is not unbeatable.

Actually I sleep on his fights most of the time. He's boring. Edison definitely not unbeatable but Will no thrill ain't the man for the job.
 
Bigger legs only mean that there's a bigger target, more meat to tenderize and more dead weight to drag after the fight. Damn those leg kicks are gonna smash into those horse legs.

Held has decent boxing and his hands are getting better. He has more than just leg locks, he is a good grappler overall. His record speaks for itself. Also, its crazy considering how old he is.

He has no wrestling and is devoid of any power. Held is incredibly over hyped.

Are you forgetting Edson won a controversial fight against Pearson ?
