I mean, maybe. He's getting a pretty late start on the grappling...

I'm of the opinion that Poatan is better at 205 than Overeem was, but I'd argue Overeem's knees are just about as nasty as anything Alek can throw. I say this a bit tongue in cheek too, but Alistair Overeem was maybe the best 205 pounder in the world 2005ish... for the first 4 minutes of any fight.

My fav Shogun fight. Shogun just beat the piss out of him for 5 minutes. Broke his ribs too. Rampage had a real hard time with Chute Boxe aggression back them. 2005 Shogun would likely get touched up on his feet but then take Poatan down and ground and pound him to a finish. That's how he dealt...

Even if he didn't tap, he definitely should have.

Nah. O'Malley is the sort of striker that Aldo should not be facing anymore.

Nick was a handful if you fought his fight.

This ship has sailed.

One of the best of his era. One of the most offensively gifted LWs ever as well.

I don't think anyone should be the reigning, defending BMF. Instead, it should be more like you can become the 2 time, 3 time, etc BMF.

In order for fighters to become well known and draws... they gotta fight. I for one don't mind cards that are light on name value.

Probably done.

None of that is a lie. Most of that is covered by work ethic though.

Like most fighters, he's missing one (or more) of the pieces to be one of the greats. If I had to pick, I'd say his work ethic or mental fortitude are his main problems.

Shogun v Rampage. 5 minutes of solid beatdown.

I'm sure there are a few HWs that Alex could handle.

Dude, Jones v Gane lasted 2 minutes total. Gane has shown to be, at the very least, as nimble on his feet as Pereira. Jones' win over Gane doesn't really show any negatives on how he'd handle Alex.

The higher the weight, the less important age is. Power and timing are at a lot more important than speed at 205. Still, Pereira is gonna get old sometime.

Yah know... maybe? This fight isn't the smartest from a pure, trying-to-get-the-belt perspective. But its an intriguing one all the same. Last time Max was fought at LW he looked just like did at FW, and each time Poirier hit him it stopped him in his tracks. If that happens again with Gaejthe...

BJ would have a much better legacy had he retired after the Diaz fight...

Yeah, getting beat by a solid, proven vet doesn't mean you're a fraud.
