GDT: UFC on ABC: Rozenstruik vs. Almeida/Bellator 296: Mousasi vs. Edwards

[I am not exposed]

Very impressive.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Neither of them ever really look great, unless it's again even worse ranked fighters, as if the UFC rankings are any real indication of anything

You must think theres 3 UFC level guys in each division.

Not the most exciting, but just clinical from Almeida.

 

[Taytro]

This is how Almeida wins fights and no one has been able to stop it. You know it's coming and you can't do anything but accept it. Good performance.

Neither guy wins a belt in Bellator or pfl either

Johnny Walker just beat Paul Craig, who beat the current LHW champ in the last couple of years.

Its almost like theres good fighters in all those orgs.

I think he was expecting a bigger cheer there lol

UFC math doesn't mean much either. Walker gets KOd against top contenders with his head straight up and weak chin

Its almost like theres good fighters in all those orgs.

If three (or four, or five) orgs all have numerous guys better, than maybe walker and Smith aren't that good..

 

[I am not exposed]

Smith looks done for sure. Certainly didn't look like he wanted to be in there.

But Walker is still a legit top 10 LHW fighter. To say he isn't UFC caliber is just weird. How big should the divisions be? 5 people?

And your point?

They are still UFC level talent.

Or do you think these orgs should be feeder systems like NHL > AHL > ECHL.

I have news for you, they arent.

Lots of goofy shit all weekend with judging and stoppages but this might top all of it

 

[MMC]

Gotta overturn that

 

[pistolpete11]

Saying Smith and Walker aren't UFC caliber fighters is laughable. If you want to say they aren't UFC Champion caliber?....sure, I'd agree, but they are absolutely UFC top 15 fighters.

That was like shooting fish in a barrel for Almeida.

Dana even admitted in the post fight presser that these fights were "designed" to make Almedia, Garry, and Walker look good. Found that really strange. I mean, we all know that's what promoters do, but it's weird to hear them straight up say it.
