That was fast!

I mean, he was a good fighter...but nothing elite. Not sure why Bellator fans always hyped him up to be as good as some top tier UFC fighters.

 

[PIT FIGHTER]

FUCK......This fight had me feeling uneasy all day long, and now I'm in full Florida Evans mode.

Not sure what the fastest MMA title change is, but this was barely 30 seconds.

 

[spikemma]

I don't think anyone saw THAT, but he might need to drop like Lombard because siZe was crazy

He was like 28-2 in his last 30 fights before Ortiz.

Only lost to Lombard and Radev and he beat quite a few guys who wouldn't be out of place in the UFC.

Plus, he was exciting.

Sucks. Only watched the card for that fight because I wanted to see some Schlemnko striking. Props to the new champ though, that fight was just disappointing to me.

Maybe the Costas Philippou types. But the current UFC is full of grapplers who would have an easy time with him (Weidman, Jacare, Kennedy, Romero, Rockhold). Not to mention superior strikers like Machida and Mousasi who could also take him down if they wanted to.

I dont think he is DONE, he just fought two huge wrestlers. Put him back in against strikers and he turns it around imo. But I think Brandon holds the title for a while, MW is not deep in Bellator.

 

[KeeSmyth]

hopefully drops to welterweight where he belongs

 

[PIT FIGHTER]

Send him to GLORY !

 

[Donny White]

I knew he was done as soon as he walked out.

He didn't look hungry at all.

There's an assumption that all Russian fighters have a strong sambo background. This has generally been true, as even the earliest Russians like Oleg Taktarov were skilled on the ground. But Schlemko (along with Sergei in recent years) is evidence that this isn't always true.

True. Storm and his whole team honestly need some serious Sambo training asap. Storm should take at least half a year off to just focus on his ground game. He's been fighting nonstop too long. Spend some time with Fedor too truly learn the basics of Sambo and Judo. Probably become super religious in the process as well.

I dont think he is DONE, he just fought two well rounded fighters. Put him back in against one dimensional strikers and he turns it around imo.

fixed for ya.
