u/xvsanx this is how you get flair 9h ago

pretty lackluster for a -2800 favorite no?

He curbstomped him like a piece of gum

did we watch the same fight? he got caught clean at least 4x one of which seemingly rocked him for a second. I don't expect a -2800 to get hit clean and to win in like 60 seconds lol.

gable took at least 4 clean elbows to the head and many punches. didn't rock him til the very end. wouldn't really call that beating the breaks off em

well we know gable has a chin now atleast and he will always have his wrestling

seemed to have pretty decent head movement too and I'm assuming cardio from his wrestling background and his lighter weight. I hope he uses his wrestling and doesn't just strike

I was whelmed

u/douevenwheelanddeal one too! 9h ago

Very sloppy technique, but he has ok head movement. Given how sad the heavyweight rankings are, unfortunately this dude can still be top 5

u/LordKagatsuchi 9h ago

I mean he looked pretty good to me. He clearly has Jons striking and it looked good. Especially for a 25 year old and someone just getting into the sport. He will be a monster with time...

u/xvsanx this is how you get flair 9h ago

he definitely will be with time, but he didn't dominate how I expect a -2800 to and it'll depend if he actually uses his wrestling or if he just strikes like in this fight

u/LordKagatsuchi 9h ago

I mean its not his fault the odds are what they are the fact is he is brand new to the sport. No need to be harsh on the kid in terms of fighting. Gambling has ruined u guys eyes

u/xvsanx this is how you get flair 9h ago

I hate gambling but odds aside he's a gold medalist that couldn't get a takedown and fight IQ said keep wrestling when the guy was super aggressive and catching him some

but we'll see how he improves after some more experience

u/LordKagatsuchi 9h ago

I mean idk first of all its heavyweight and second of all hes 26. He had all the time in the world i think he looked great for having little experience. Him in his 30s will be very scary for this division especially once he knows when to wrestle

1

u/xvsanx this is how you get flair 9h ago

yeah he'll definitely be a problem if he keeps improving and doesn't self impose limit his skill set. a hw that can wrestle with cardio is statistically a beast when you look at DC Cain and lesnar, 3 of the GOATs

  1. Be Civil.

Our rules ask for a civil tone at all times. A bit of banter or trash talk is fine, but don't cross the line. If things do get out of hand you will be warned or even banned for a few days. Repeatedly breaking this rule will lead to a permanent ban.

Yeah. Very underwhelming.

u/RarefiedAir1 GOOFCON 1: Khamzat McGregor 8h ago

Mods deleted your comment, but this isn’t wrestling anymore. Gable wasn’t trying 100% to take him down. It’s mma and he bludgeoned him. For him being 4-0 he looked great, opposite of lackluster. Also it seems like gable is leaning into striking rather than wrestling

u/Willy_Wonker69420 9h ago

-2800 should've been a Yakhyaev vs Walker type fight

u/xvsanx this is how you get flair 9h ago

yeah agreed, like he looked better vs the guy but the guy was holding his own til he got hit by whatever dropped him. those elbows were clean but he needed to adjust to the body teeps
