@FightingPetah@OnOrOffMine@mmaspeak@ChampFiggy There isnt a single version of max who would’ve beat oliveira that day, max has never been known for his takedown defense or grappling and current charles has better offensive wresting than champion charles did, every version of max gets ragdolled by current charles
@marchetti97@btidss@HaqZeWurld@blessedcasual The thing is training takedown defense in 1 camp won’t be enough for prates
Prates got taken down by jdm, a boxer
For comparison, jdm trained with CRAIG JONES (a top 3 bjj practitioner) and stuffed several of belal’s takedowns yet couldn’t defend a single takedown from islam
@EBurnerMMA@MMAChainMMA@SizzlingMma@DovySimuMMA To be fair leon edwards was definitely washed when he fought prates but i don’t see that fight going much differently even in his prime, leon has never been knocked out which prates made happen for the first time
Losing to ian garry is something bad but prates has improved since
@EBurnerMMA@MMAChainMMA@SizzlingMma@DovySimuMMA 1. Even if JDM never defended the title he was on an 18 winning streak and beat belal which is already more impressive than beating sean brady
2. Usman was 34 but still in the later stage of his prime he fought leon the second time
3. Morales has only fought bums + sean brady
