@Lunch77Beatz@acdmma_ Nahhh LHW pereira had these, plus 10x more power than he had at MW. He was a lil slower, but the power made up for it
I would say this though, his win against Izzy is still his biggest win and best performance imo. Bro came from nowhere to beat a future goat like Izzy 😭
@fau1in@qpe No one has finished Cejudo other than DJ, and Talbott beat him tf up in that fight
McGhee is cool, but yall should stop acting like he’s run over Payton. I even think he’d beat McGhee loll
@MarkBerrihehe A prime Pantoja beats him for sure. I’m not sure about Van tho, you gotta take Kape off his game and I don’t know if you can do that by purely striking
@marl0000@YG_Bree@DovySimuMMA@alexvolkanovski I ain’t talking about what won the fight. I’m just pointing out that Ilia was very successful with leg kicks against Volk
Also I know it’s only one example, but no one really tries to leg kick Volk and I don’t know why
@marl0000@YG_Bree@DovySimuMMA@alexvolkanovski And they shook him. To me, those were the most effective strikes of that round. Volk won that round due to activity iirc
What im saying doesn’t mean he’s fucked, there’s a reason why it’s not a big thing from Volk. It was just something I noticed while watching it back
@LiamPicksFights Kape is just too powerful, and fast. Prolly faster than Van too, and he be mixing his strikes. Van gotta be near perfect to beat that guy 😭
@marl0000@YG_Bree@DovySimuMMA@alexvolkanovski I would give Gaethje one thing though: as of recent, he’s had very good gameplans
I can see him bringing back leg kicks for that fight. Volk has been very susceptible to them against other opponents, and I also see Gaethje being soo aggressive with the pressure
@RiddleofSteel29@joannadangerfd I had Ilia in round 1 too. Cut aside, it was a closer round than people think. People forget that Ilia started the body work at the end of that round, and he was getting Gaethje there too
On the distance, it was close, but both Ilia and Gaethje were eating the damage
@CombatUTC I did not realize that gaethjes jab game was very influential to this fight. That shit might be what contributed to Ilia’s eye problems the most 😭
@angel_e_garcia_ I ain’t ever heard of your ass in my life, fake ass fan. Where were you all these years, when Jones was submitting Gane in one round?? 🚮
Also, respect Pereira. Yall guys won and all, but don’t discredit his wins. Gane would struggle against Izzy and Jiri, and yall know it
@BenTheBaneDavis@Warparty_911@Palomino_MMA So you agree it wasn’t the same technically-sound fighter in there? Ilia prepared for leg kicks, and he definitely underestimated Gaethje’s skillset, and that shit cost him
From the first uppercut Garthje landed, he was fucked. That shit made him bleed instantly loll
