i could see him beating alves and johnson. he somehow hangs with powerful strikers and is able to hurt them. plus i think johnson sucks and shouldn't even be in that list.
Same way Jon Jones got bumped up to #2 after beating Bader. Bader wasnt even in the top 10 when they fought and he sure isnt now. MMA math never adds up I dont see anyone outside of GSP maybe that can beat Diaz. Penn might give him a run for his money though.
The only reason hes on that list is cuz hes huge for 170 (nh)
Diaz would get bumped up. Number 2? I don't think so. It's not that big of a stretch though. Need to see if Diaz can survive one of the human blankets in the UFC before final judgment.
Wait, what? You might be the only person with that opinion. I've never heard a fighter or fan complain about elbows on the ground before.
ruin it in what way?
Short elbows are the #1 tool of grinders like Rashad, Kos and Fitch. Allows them to say in guard, not posture up to throw punches but still appear active. If they did not have elbows then they would have to raise up of throw punches, which gives the bottom guy a better chance to sweep, push the top man off.
This would be crazy. They need to bring Eddie Alvarez in there as well. Hes too good for BellatorOriginally Posted by quiickz
Zuffa Lightweight Tournament please...
The first thing that's taught in BJJ classes is to not let the guy posture up... Breaking the guy's posture and pulling him into you gives you the best chance for a sweep/sub. The #1 tool of those guys is their superior hip control, not short elbows.
i just gotta say THANK YOU SHOWTIME! They really hooked it up with my seats. I had row 1, section 214 on the floor directly behind the barrier where Mauro, Gus, and Frank were setup. I didnt have a camera with me, so I had to take pics on my crappy phone (it didnt help that i didnt have a steady hand cause I had been drinking).
I dont see how either of them were ranked 6th or 7th. Is this the UFC 205 top 10 or top 10 in MMA? MMA Rankings are pointless honestly.
yea i definitely have to re-watch the fight to see if it looked different from multiple vantage points. my buddy/betting teammate (yea i know... im a loser) told me he had jardine taking rd 1 @ 10-8 with the penalty and mousasi taking 2nd and 3rd.
