my whole point is most these guys have destroyed or at least dented the concept that a guy w/one dimension or is dynamically athletic/powerful/dynamic can't beat a skilled or at least competently balanced mma fighters.
while they have lost to the very BEST or the better guys, they still have been effective against SOME contenders or lower tier guys; who might not have the best, but have much much better set of skills.
we can talk about low level guys etc; but the fact of the matter is the guys they beat for the most part, ALL have an overall better skillsets than these one dimensional athletic aggressive brawlers.
an i listed guys they had beaten, guys w/good records...good skills; an they have been able to at least be competitive w/lesser skilled guys.
examples-alexander walked through jardine a top contender and killed sakara, who is no top ten or fifteen guy; but a guy w/ good standup tech and power/speed/timing who can compete w/good to really good guys. Two guys who have competed and done well against some of the better guys in ufc, put it this way gouveia/liddel couldn't beat jardine and houston WALKED through him
krazy horse gave gomi a good fight, a much better fight than ralph gracie, jadson costa, duane ludwig, he blasted noons, who dismantled diaz and killed berto. Not to mention being a skilled muay thai and boxer. Hell he lost to ludwig, but was laying a beating on him til he gassed; he did better against ludwig than pulver goulet did.
so i think people hate them cus they disprove the fact or idea that the superior skilled guy will always win or crush a brawler; not just that but it resonates to people on the street who train, cus once again it shows us that just cus u train if a guy is big strong tough and aggressive he can an possibly will step over u after putting ur ass in the ground.
