Bonuses should have gone up to 75k come to think of it. Lol

Tang has exceptional power, fast, great defense, and really good distance management. This guy would starch some guys in the UFC.

His ground game is probably not there. The Chinese guys can strike and wrestle but their actual grappling isn't there yet. They have less than 100 BJJ black belts in the whole country. The number might be closer to 50. Some of the black belts aren't really black belts either. There was a case where the Gracies promoted a blue to a black belt. It was more of a political/franchise promotion.

The champs wearing his country flag clearly feeling the weight of the title fighg.

Malykin looks like he’s just living another regular day in a sweater and not a drop of sweat from warming up

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

RDR is a 5/1 dog

RDR about to start flopping around for a leg lock like Claudio Puelles & Ryan Hall.

Oh ok, I was just watching what he was doing on the feet, it looked elite. Thanks for the info though, I didn't know that.

Hopefully RDR absorbed some Dutch kickboxing skills over the past year 1/2

ONE fc guys also get the benefit of fighting different styles than UFC’s typical wrestle/boxer.
Fabricio Andrade got wrestled by Lineker but also KO’s the guy twice so the skillset is for sure different.
