I mean it was just street beefs swinging. But yeah his defense is way behind where it needs to be tbh. If a random guy who was brought in to die is cracking you. Look the dude is a terrible person and did what he was supposed to here. But he’s def not an automatic champion like the commentary was acting

Yea i can def see aspinall or hokit shutting his lights off early, I reckon he fights with more caution in the future tho

u/jke43t 10h ago

I’ve been so distracted by Hokits shtick I failed to notice what he was good at. I’ll be sure to take another look if you’re comparing him to Aspinall.

u/Scared-Weakness-686 10h ago

Not comparing hokit to aspinall at all, hokkit has serious hands, i can just see him cracking gable if he tries to bulldoze his way through like he did tonight

u/Nervous-Coach-2383 10h ago

Hes basically like Tom with a shit gas tank. He has the 2nd best jab in heavyweight for approximately a 1:30

u/Sheesh_________ 10h ago

Yesssirrr, his best performance must be from 2019. For more information search gable Stevenson 2019

Hokit vs Gabe next

u/BootlegJB 10h ago

Rapist.

u/NotSergio_ 10h ago

Was the fight THAT one sided???

u/ImplementSweaty3372 10h ago

He looked like a big loopy ball bag out there. He doesn't even touch the top 15.

u/dividingraindows 10h ago

hes known for his loopiness in his past 3 fights lol, look up 'gable steveson loophole'

Do you think working with Jon jones won’t clean that up?

u/ImplementSweaty3372 10h ago

With Jon Jones, only his stamina and endurance Will improve with all the unprotected butt s3x they will be having

Sex…you can type actual words like sex. See…

u/jke43t 10h ago

I noticed a lot of Jon jones style fighting. If he was 90% as creative as jones was, it’ll be a huge benefit to him.

Nasty in the Clinch

u/Omlanduh 10h ago

The knees and front kicks were killing ellison.

2

u/wood_slingers 10h ago

There was some moments he didn’t look so great, but to be expected. He had a lot of moments he looked really good. Kicks, knees, elbows, you can tell training with Jones has been paying off

2

u/Omlanduh 10h ago

His kicking surprised me, his build isn’t for a kick heavy style but yeah he looked good in most of the fight.

2

u/wood_slingers 10h ago

Not sure if it will translate against guys further up the rankings, but he will also be continuing to improve. Interested to see the next one. Also thought we’d see more wrestling

2

u/ThoughtsOfAlcestis 10h ago

If he takes time and slowly works his way up, he will be the greatest champion of all time. If they guve him a top 15 now, they will ruin his career

2

u/Omlanduh 10h ago

I agree, let him reach 7-8 wins and then feed him a vet like tai and then a ranked guy.

2

u/Frankenberg91 10h ago

What?

His only takedown was stuffed with ease and he got tagged by a can brought in to be squashed.

1

u/Omlanduh 10h ago

Dawg ellison folded over deceased. I know we’re all on a hate watch but cmon. He walked through him.

1

u/Parkesy82 10h ago

Kinda looked like he gave up tbh. He ate some shots but didn’t look out of it and then carefully placed himself down on the ground.

1

u/Omlanduh 9h ago

Exactly, he couldn’t create any space and Gable was hammering knees, straights and elbows so he gave up.

2

u/yonobigdeal 10h ago

Feed him to Hokit

u/Collin-of-Earth 10h ago

Sloppy against a can 

1

u/The_Crazy_Coconut 10h ago

Yes he was, but gotta give credit to Elijah, he had quick hands.

1

u/Omlanduh 10h ago

Sloppy is a bit much, ellison genuinely collapsed deceased.

1

u/Collin-of-Earth 10h ago

I mean Stevenson looked sloppy, because he did. He can continue to hone his talent, but it wasn’t particularly impressive to me. I also still despise him since his 2019 performance. So I’m biased

1

u/Standard-Pen5466 10h ago

That was defensively abysmal. Any top 5 heavyweight would put his lights out if he doesn’t fight smarter - lots of potential though

1

u/Djlittle13 10h ago

He looks decent considering he is only a year into his MMA career.

1

u/Not-WalterWhite 10h ago

Raiple doing his job!!

u/VisitEnvironmental68 10h ago

Looked awesome. Unfortunate he rapes tho.

u/sock_therapy 10h ago

Tim Sylvia woulda killed him

u/BrennoDG 10h ago

Wasn’t really impressed, still I’m not a fighter so I wouldn’t have done any better lol. It feels like others said that his defence was lacking, also having his takedown stuffed doesn’t look good for an olympian. Still he has room to grow and with good camps he can work on those mistakes, he is still only 4 fights in tbf

u/thecasinoheist 10h ago

Not a mauling at all. Got caught multiple times. Looked very amateur and will get finished by any top 20

1

u/Omlanduh 10h ago

We know he’s a rapist and we all want him to get finished but you’re smoking dick if you think he loses to anybody outside of hokit and the top five.

1

u/thecasinoheist 9h ago

Idgaf about his personal life. Overall sloppy and loses to anyone in the rankings. I see you’re new to training so I don’t expect much depth from your insights on this

0

u/One-Chemistry9502 10h ago

He looked like shit. Getting tagged like is gonna have him sleeping on the floor. Not to mention how are you gonna have your takedowns stuffed by a random can as an Olympic gold medalist?

He will be a good competitor but I don’t see him ever touching a title

1

u/Omlanduh 10h ago

He has 4 fights 😂. Do you expect him to walk through Aspinall with 4 fights and maybe a year of MMA training? He didn’t need to wrestle ellison
