I'm not saying they're jobbers, I said they're good wins. How good? With the state LHW has been the last couple of years it's hard to tell. P4P is always hard but I'd say there's no comparison between Hill and the guys you mentioned on Khabib's resume. Jan is hard to rate, definitely a good...
This. Pereira is probably my favorite fighter in the UFC right now, but he really has five good wins in MMA, with three of those being in LHW which has been a wreck ever since Jones fucked off. Izzy gets waay too much hate on here really
Thermodynamics applies to everyone, but everyone also has slightly different attributes that decide how these laws affect them. On the extremes you have people with different hormonal conditions, inflammatory diseases, cancers or other diseases and medications that will affect their weight, but...
I think DC's grappling knowledge sometimes makes the fights more entertaining, especially in the clinch where it seems like nothing much is happening but he explains the positioning
On one hand martial arts is very different from no holds-barred combat, but on the other hand I'm having a hard time coming up with someone who'd be more dangerous.

Perhaps it's that they're not promoting it enough as DJ suggests (despite what the clickbait headline is making it seem like he's saying) or it's just that the division is very weak. Considering two of the UFC's largest stars in recent times has been a featherweight and a woman I don't really...
OP's choice of thread title makes Smith sound like a dick. If you read the actual article he doesn't come off like that at all, and I'm far from a fan of his.
As others have said he had a more kick and knee centric style early in his career and didn't sit down on his punches as some other fighters do. He certainly has a lot of finishes overall, it's just different. Compare Anderson to Henderson and the kind of punches they threw, naturally Henderson...
When you look at the very top guys you have to account for some selection bias. Like Robert Whittaker gets called pillow-fisted from time to time, and although he might not be the hardest puncher he's certainly able to put guys out. It's more that the fighters he's facing are guys at the top of...
Been years and years since I saw it but I kinda remember it like Stann got lured into brawling with Wand where he could've kept it technical and won pretty handidly. With Cung it's not so surprising as he had a tendency to fade as fights went on
