some new life into the light heavyweight division
Thing is, a TKO loss isn't as bad as a KO loss, and the only actual KO loss he's had was years ago.
His durability is well enough, if it wasn't, he wouldn't have gotten as many comeback wins as he's had.
A Gus-Smith matchup wouldn't make any sense. The fact that Smith just beat two completely shot fighters doesn't magically catapult him to the top of the division. Hell, he got finished by an unranked MW earlier this year.
That being said, Gus's sense of entitlement regarding title shots hasn't made much sense either.
Gus needs to fight, period. I like him, but here he is wanting to call his shots and only fighting for a title when he’s only been fighting once a year for the past 3-4 years. He just hasn’t been active enough to be demanding nothing but a title shot.
Wtf are you talking about.. He and his team tried to get a fight with Romero (injured), Rockhold (injured), OSP (is getting married) Volkan (signed the contract but "broke his nose"), and lastly he accepted the fight vs Rountree but wasn't medically cleared. All those fights would have been non-title fights. He has also fought 3 times a non-title fight as a 1st contender in recent years (Manuwa, Rumble, Glover, Volkan would have been 4th).
Getting tired of people being so ignorant and just spreading blatant lies about Gus.
I’m talking about how in the last four years, he’s only fight four times. What is so difficult to understand about that? Look at his record. It’s indisputable fact.
You clearly claimed he only wants to fight if its for the title. That is a lie. He signed a non title fight vs Volkan, then Volkan pulled out.
He looks like rampages albino sonSerious question because it's bothering me not knowing. Is this guy bi-racial? He looks like he could be sometimes and other times he doesn't. Try looking it up on wikipedia.
Also, he sounds like John Cena.
What is he barking right now? Sure looks like Gus would've dropped out if Volkan hadn't beaten him to it.
They tried to get a fight with Rockhold, Romero and OSP as well, but Rockhold and Romero were injured and OSP "is getting married". Saying he only accepts a fight if its for the title is just false. He has taken 3 non title fights as a 1st contender in recent years (Manuwa, Rumble, Glover). Facts are just not on haters side, sorry.
Your reading comprehension is absurd. I guess you missed the part where I said, "Gus's sense of entitlement regarding title shots hasn't made much sense either." I'm not even a Gus fan.That's fucking absurd. You're clearly a blind Gus nuthugger. Open your eyes. Everyone else at 205 is coming off a loss or injured. Gus vs Smith makes the most sense.
Alex DOES NOT deserve a title shot right now, so he needs another win. Deal with it.
