Jon has the wrestling advantage, but his last three fights at LHW weren’t great, and many think Reyes won against him. Alex’s frame and strength make it interesting.

    On the fedor thing, part of why the randleman slam and fajita punch are always shown is because those were like the only 2x where he wasn't kicking his opponents ass over a 10 year span. I always watched his fights in pride the day after first time I watched him fight live was vs tim Silvia... I had some buddies over and they all thought Silvia was gonna smash fedor . (They never seen him before) I knew otherwise

    People who says Alex is chinny clearly never watched his kickboxing fights. Dude would eat one to give one to you back then, he would walk through you and starts brawls. He wasn’t the most technical kickboxer at the start-middle of his career but he was extremely durable and powerful. Heck he took like 20 of Izzy right hand in there first 2 fights. The right hand that knocked him out in the UFC. You don’t fight 3-4 times a year your whole career which a glass chin.

    Hey! I was in Japan in this era. The Japanese crowds, the ring as well made it better. Cages allow unfair advantages for grapplers. Like Khabib, you can wedge guys against the fence. But rings don't allow that. It's more fair I feel and creates more flow. In the cage it's like up to 10 minutes of a guy sitting on top of a guy. From a pure grappling side, its entertaining but not for everyone else. Sakuraba was the real king of Pride. The guy didn't train! and smoked packets of cigs. His walk-ins were so cool, and funny.

  • @PeterGriffingigity
    @PeterGriffingigity 4 месяца назад +17

    Here's how the top 5 P4P list should be right now:
    1-Islam Makhachev
    2-Alex Pereira
    3-Leo Edward
    4-Alexandre Pantoja
    5- Either Dricus Du Plessis or Sean O'Malley or even Max Holloway. ( Just because you don't have a belt doesn't mean you can't be high up in the ranking like Max Holloway)
    It's a crime to see Jones and Illa above the other p4p fighters likes Pantoja and DU PLESSIS who are defending their belts, Even though O'Malley cherry picked his next opponent ( Chito) he at least was defending, And Tom Aspinal is already defending his belt like a REAL champ would do, And I won't be surprise to see Volkanaski to step in on short notice to whoever pulls out between Trump and Biden.

      2-Sean O'Malley
      3-Leon Edwards
      4-Ilia Topuria
      5-Islam Makhachev.
      Like the reason your list is so terrible is not because of overrated Islam who is going life and death with his competition, but because you set Pantoja at #4... Man ain't even top 15, he got decimated by Erceg and got the biggest robbery win in championship history.

    • @MartialArtsNk
      @MartialArtsNk 4 месяца назад +1

      @VazmanianDeviI Pantoja's last fight wasn't close at all, he clearly got decimated.
      As for DDP he got a robbery win over Strickland, but at least was trying to hurt Strickland back. DDP wasn't intentionally blocking punches with his face like Pantoja was.

    Hi Weasle, I just wanted to share some light on Khabibs situation. The thing is - since the biginning of mobilization in 2022 most of Russia's athletes, celebrities and anyone with big following have been approached by the government and asked to endorse the war and mobilization in one way or another (sadly even Fedor agreed). Right now Dagestan is actually the main region for mobilizing conscripts for the war , which led to huge protests in 2022-23. So instead of endorsing it ,Khabib publicly spoke against the war and mobilization from Dagestan and since then he basically was "black listed", his gyms and restaurants were raided frequently by the cops, some family members and friends lost their positions in the region in local government, tax evasion accusations etc. This sh*t show is also the reason why Khabib wasn't in Islams corner during Volk fights.. And just a few weeks ago it became public that Khabib received OAE citizenship. In my opinion, out of everything that Khabib did within and out of the sport - this has to be the most life-defining GOAT moment..

    I’m a little confused on why people like to call Jorge a “boxer” when we was in MMA, I feel like it wasn’t just his boxing, he was more of a Mui Thui specialist. Jorge was mainly known for his looping punches but really never throw things like uppercuts along with not having the best boxing defence like you said when it comes to the simple 1,2 combo. I feel like Jorge is best when he’s mixing up the knees and leg kicks with his hands.

  • @jocollantes4258
    @jocollantes4258 4 месяца назад

    What I learned about Islam from watching Russian channel contents (Khabib's youtube, ufc eurasia, red corner mma etc.) is that he really is a character fond of details and technical stuff. To illustrate, his conditioning coach based in Russia said they have a book where all his training & physical conditioning stats are documented and tracked over the years (numbers, scales, trends etc.).. those notes means a lot to Islam and he likes poring over them. He is more cerebral than english speaking audience notice and a diligent student of his interests (from enduro bikes, to horses, to mma). This natural affinity for details translates to his fighting (striking accuracy, rhythm, defense etc).

    Fedor Emelianenko is one of my favourite fighters of all time. Maybe I'm old school, my top 3 are Anderson, Crocop and Fedor, in no particular order. I don't care what you say, if you were watching PRIDE when Fedor was on top he'd probably be yours too. Standards rise over the years, but I still think alot of fighters today could take lessons from Fedor and kin. Always honourable, humble, respectful, etc. If you really want to know how good a fighter is, just take a look at what other fighters say about them, not the fans. Many MANY fighters through the years and even these days have Fedor and Anderson up there as their GOATS.
