Add to that the sentiment going into the Chuck fight was that it was too little too late. Both guys were already well past their prime.
What's with these revisionists, amirite?
Wonderboy is so lame. Why does he keep implying that his opponents are afraid to strike with him? It actually makes it seem more like HE's the one afraid, afraid that his opponents WON'T strike with him.
I'm kinda sick of his schtick. Can't remember the last time I actually watched him fight...
Although I still don't fully buy Gane's "improved" TDD. Blaydes is so overrated as a wrestler. Sad state of affairs that he's considered one of the best of this era.
Guys like Reem and Arlovski are so skilled and athletic that they could beat anyone in their prime. But they are so chinny that they could lose to anyone as well.
I find it so annoying that people keep listing Rozenstruik as a good win on resumes.
Yeah sure he beat Arlovski, Overeem and JDS. When they were all at the tail end of their careers. He's literally beaten no one else of note.
He's the Anthony Smith of HW, when Smith beat Shogun and Rashad...
A lot of other people were also saying Gane was too one dimensional. A statement that was reinforced when he got wrestle-hugged by Ngannou of all people.
Hindsight is just an excuse for people that didn't know what they were watching.
Don't let the numbers fool you.
Randy was a solid, in shape 225.
Most HWs today are bloated 240+.
Look at guys like Boser and Daukaus. They cut to 205 and still look chubby.
Then of course, that wrestling that most HWs today are severely lacking. Prime Randy would be top 10 today for sure...
