Patchy is huge so naturally he’s gonna be slower. Horiguchi is small, and he’s fast for a flyweight let alone a bantamweight

Edit: Also archuleta had really quick feet too. I know it’s a shittier patchy but that movement gave him problems

Yeah, in MMA good strikers tend to move very well. Look at Sandhagen, Omalley, Umar, Cejudo, Javid etc in the UFC...Fast striking, quick feet, slick movement.

Most guys look a little clumsy against horriguchi striking, to be fair. Horriguchi is an odd style to prepare for, but yeah. Mix's striking is definitely still a work in progress. I will say that stylistically, I think he's one of the best fighters suited to deal with Merab. It's a shame we likely won't ever see all these good fights with him against UFC guys, though.

Mix really was worn down with pace and attritive damage in the Juan fight though. That seems like something Merab could replicate.

However, Merab likes to shoots a lot of imperfect shoots that would leave his neck endangered. And that's how Magomed was subbed.

Too bad Merab and Aljo will never fight each other. Are there any top level sub guys in the UFC Top 15? Umar Nurmagomedov seems like the only one

Mix reminds me a lot of Aljo, he's got an odd blend of wrestling and grappling that you just don't see from many guys in MMA.

Aljo seems to me a more surgical process-driven fighter. I get the feeling that no matter what happens he's always looking for that body-triangle position. Its the goal he's grappling towards.

While Mix is more in the spider-monkey camp.

You're just mad that I pointed out your hypocrisy. Got tired of being called on your bullshit I guess. Weak-minded and shows a lack of character IMO.

Max Holloway is the same size as Kamaru Usman by that standard
 
Bantamweight is just a stacked division regardless of promotion.

The UFC, Bellator, the Chechen promotions out there in Grozny this division just freaking bangs.
