Gaethje - best combination of power, chin, stamina, kicks, knees, and wrestling

[Unfinished Sentenc]

are there any other fighter in the UFC like this?

 

[Scyther]

You're basing this on what? Beating a guy that is now 1-4 in his last 5. Please stop the over hype.

You sound like a zuffa zombie

 

[latoya johnson]

That's a very particular list.

That's like saying, Jon Jones is the greatest black American martial artist with an 84.5" reach.

 

[Koimpact]

Frankie Edgar checks all boxes

 

[Logical Fella C]

It's not just the tools he has but the amount of aggression he bring to each and every one of his fights that is outworldly. He's so offensively inclined it's crazy; he even uses his wrestling mostly to shake guys off so that he can stand and bang.

Lawler does have good kicks but does not utilize them as much.

Frankie Edgar checks all boxes

Apart from Mendes fight Frankie has shown to have pillow fists

Are you high these are very general lists and attributes in fighting

Destroyed Yair and ruined Maynard's chin... but yeah he has pillow fists

Maynard gets knocked out everyday, he destroyed Yair on the ground with 72 strikes to the head.

edgars knee and kick game isnt on gaethjes level

 

[funksoulbrother]

Condit maybe

 

[ThoseAreMyShoes]

Matt Brown. And I can see a similar career in the UFC.

Maynard had never been knocked out before Frankie ruined his chin and Edgar still broke Yair. Chael is an example of someone with pillow fists, not Edgar

 

[Koimpact]

edgars knee and kick game isnt on gaethjes level

By the same token, Gaethje's stamina, chin and wrestling aren't on Frankie's level

 

[Kenny Powerth]

Matt Brown. And I can see a similar career in the UFC.

 

[BGDDYKWL]

As mentioned, those are pretty specific criteria, but yeah, he does fit those as well as anyone. Ultimately he's too reckless and a top fighter with a gameplan will exploit his overaggression.

Aldo in his prime

 

[Bogeyman]

This exact thread has probably been made 100 times about Eddie Alvarez until he lost.
