I am a huge fan of Poatan but I'd like to see how he fares against a good grappler. He's fought a bunch of strikers recently: Jiri, Hill, Adesanya, Strickland, even Jan is considered more of a striker than a grappler. Poatan's MMA aura would grow if he beat both strikers and grapplers (Ankalaev, Jones, etc.). I am not a massive Usman fan but I can see where he is coming from.
I mean jiri choked out glover. couldn’t do anything to Alex. all Alex has to do is get back up. He only needs half of a ground game. And ank has zero subs. I think fighters can’t mentally admit they can’t win with Alex on the feet and have to wrestle him so they try to strike with him. It would be hard to admit defeat before a fight as a fighter. Plus he’s beatable. I’m sure now ppl want to the guy that knocks out Alex. Problem is it only takes one punch from Alex. The probability that he won’t land atleast once is pretty low. Guys eat punches all the time. Jiri eats punches. Alex just hits that hard somehow. 😮it’s crazy man.
Alex won’t face a good grappler until he’s has enough time to work of takedown defence. Ufc will definitely manage him well in that regard they’ll wait until they confident he can beat a good grappler
p4p means who would do the best weight notwithstanding. doesn't matter if you're a great striker and mediocre grappler... however you won, you win. and that's what Alex is doing - champ at 185 and now at 205.. that's the best indication, hypothetical be damned, we have proof
Idk giving an opinion translates you to a hater. I don't see him hating on anyone, he's just saying his concept of pfp is a well rounded athlete in all domains of MMA. it's difference of opinion, not hating. Hating is calling Alex good for nothing
Usman had KO power hut didn't have the expertise of a great striker. His moves are basic, meant to get close tobthe opponent and take him down. How come a wrestler epecialist can be P4P and a striker one can't? Envy of Alex be such a UFC star.
Ya that is crazy. If I guy is pure bjj but can’t box he can’t be p4p. I think m it’s because mma is trying hard to separate itself from boxing and kick boxing in a way. those two are already so popular and have respected organizations already
He's just not correct. Like, that'd be called the most well rounded list.
He is Izzy best friend. That explains everything Usman said about Poatan.😂
ஆ அந்த வகையில் நாம சிந்தித்தால் நம்மால் உணர முடிகிறது சாமா🗿
W vid, the p4p goes based on who’s doing the best things right now. Like you said at the end. Otherwise it’d be a bunch of nobodies on the p4p list

Kamaru was p4p no 1
Usman did the same sh t every fight too. He's got barley any kos or subs.
I didn’t know he was hater like that
