To be nitpicky, Glover was the 13 second KO. Bader was a minute something I think.He dominated Phil Davis and put Bader to sleep in 13 seconds.

So many conspiracies today. Takes a special type of mind to fall for them...Gus has one of the better chins at LHW and never went out from all those shots from Rumble. He got caught throwing some lazy kick. Gus wins more times than not against Rumble. Gus beat Jon and DC. Refs didn't give Gus the win bc of his white privilege. Its a conspiracy bro.
Yeah, it's too bad he fought at the peak of LHW with prime Jones and Cormier. Outside of those two, I don't see anyone beating him via grappling. He dominated Phil Davis and put Bader to sleep in 13 seconds.
Outside of Poatan (which would be a war), I wouldn't give any LHWs past or present a big chance of finishing Rumble if they chose to stand for 3 to 5 rounds.
I know someone will bring up Vitor but there are a few points
- That wasn't at 205 (where Rumble fought best). Rumble came in way too heavy and had a bad weight cut
- The stand-ups were total BS. I think Rumble knew Belfort was a front-runner who usually faded by R2 against good competition so he decided to take him down and gas him out. The ref made them stand up twice in record time.
- It was in Brazil where much of the reffing was odd and favored Brazilian fighters.
No its not. DC is great. Rumble wasnt.When you see Rumble's path of destruction in the division is insane that DC survived him and beat him twice.
DCs pressure was extremely underrated. The only person it didn't work on was a juiced up peaking Jon Jones. Everyone else got overwhelmed.
Or is Poatan rumbling everyone?Rumble was Poatan'ing everyone
It's wild because Rumble started fighting in the UFC a year before Jones. Unlike others here, I think Jones would've been a very bad matchup for Rumble (great chin, could avoid strikes with reach and movement, could take down and submit/GnP pretty much anyone in his early days). However, I could see Rumble making waves and being champ briefly before Jones. He'd probably KO someone like Shogun or Forrest who wouldn't know what hit them.I just wish Rumble didn't fight at the lower weight classes so long, would have been much more successful had he just always been at 205. One of thr hardest P4P hitters in history.
