They are gonna fuck up with this great prospect. Hopefully he wont be pushed too far too fast. He does look ready though

He's only got I've ever seen have back to back fights without absorbing a single blow.. Have him fight Neil magny and if he beats him then he needs a a big big dog.

I just worry about him being thrown to a geoff Neil or zaleski level fighter right away. He may beat both of them eventually

His grappling phenom and they wouldn't like his pressure.. Neal is a monster but he's very beatable on the ground.. This guy is a 70 Khabib with better shots in space.. once we see him vs top 15 guy we'll really know.

Chimaev is a straight savage. Guy reminds me of myself in so many ways

Hairlip and average sized

why not let him roll, active dominant fighters are the peak of combat sports
A fighters prime can go away anytime

Maybe this guy, can rip off like 8+ wins in a year and be a legend

He definitely has the young Jon jones aggression and activity

has extreme confidence and that is a jones trait for sure
he may be more aggressive and more of a finisher at this stage of his career
we will see how it goes when he hits another equal 205

hope the new scheduling era of MMA and UFC allows guys to fight a lot more often
the 1 fight every 4-6 month thing is an easy way to miss your prime IMO

I thought he was a 205er myself until my friends made fun of me. Hes at 170. I got john phillip's and ion cutalaba confused

i'd like to see him against a durable, well-rounded guy like Luque...maybe Pettis? but that feels like too big of a gap in experience, even if skill is there.

 

[Thuglife13]

This guy is the Shish Khabib we deserve...

He seems like it. Reminds me of Jon's early fights when he was smeshing people

Could be very good. He just beat a 185er and a 170lber in Abu Dhabi. Ragdolled the shit out of both of them. They may not have been great fighters but either way he made it look way too easy.

From those two fights his style would be something comparable to a more relentless Khabib who gives no fucks and just comes at you and throws you on the ground and tries to murder you.

But looking at some earlier fights he actually has decent striking and heavy hands. So who knows when he'll have to show that but I'm very curious.
