So they gave him another opportunity vs a young striking prospect and he spammed 22 takedowns and was almost knocked out
He fired himself and wasnโt worth the contract he wouldโve wanted
The UFC will be just fine without Farid, folks.
Farid was mauled by Chris Gutierrez in the 3rd
Probably lost to Jean
And had to spam 22 takedowns as a -700 to survive against a 23 year old making his UFC Debut
He was due more money and the UFC saw the writing on the wall and chose not to invest
People need to stop pretending he was an untouchable prospect that is being denied an opportunity
Mokaev is the only one that can make the case people are trying to make but sounds like he had actual issues behind the scenes as well
@RedCorner_MMA UFC fans have always been about finishes, blood, and good fights. Farid is just so boring and maybe difficult to work with. People will forgot about him by next month
Farid Basharat went to decision 5 times in a row
In those 75 minutes, he hit 18 takedowns, after those TDs he had about 21 minutes of control time
In that 21 minutes he landed a COMBINED 20 GROUND STRIKES TOTAL, with just 1 sub attempt...
We call that laying and praying
I talk trash in the Octagon, but guys on this roster have actual criminal records and rape charges. I have no criminal record, yet I'm not classy enough? ๐You realize we are in the gladiator business, right? Should men who try to kill other men, really be your role model? lol
