For sure looking foward to his future fights. Sheilds never been koed before since the ellenberger fight and that shit was a long time ago. Honestly thought Jake was going to win by humping him for 15min but.... gg. Betted $15 to win around $115-$120 on this fight lol.After yesterday's main event I had to do some research.
Ray Cooper III has KO wins at
- 0:34 of 1st
- 0:27 of 1st
- 0:12 of 1st
- 0:08 of 1st
- 0:04 of 1st
Plus every win was a finish. Here's some GIFs.
vs. Adrian Bartee
vs. Charles Bennett
vs. Jake Shields
Thoughts?
If things stay how they are he'll face Nurmagomedov in the first playoff round, which is cool too. But there's still one more welterweight fight that can change things.if he beats Rick Story, he is gonna do big things.
Khabib’s cousin has looked far from impressive it might be he is undersized a bit but Westin went for a Kimura which though it was defended he used it to gain dominant position. I think Islam Makhachev is the guy who really has a chance to go far that’s also in Khabib’s camp (I know he is not in the PFL, but in the UFC)If things stay how they are he'll face Nurmagomedov in the first playoff round, which is cool too. But there's still one more welterweight fight that can change things.
Shields had nothing for him and he showed a great sprawl and good TDD in that fight. Then he absolutely steamrolled Kusch.
Looked ok in 2nd round vs shields. Hes defi a brawler thoughIs he a one round fighter who is inefficient with his energy? To be determined.
Unheralded island boy with no big show experience did what GSP, Lawler, Hendo couldn't. Damaged old man Shields repeatedly until the finish. He knows you have to throw strikes in order to land strikes. Nice of him to get takedowns too. I wonder if he studied Shields vs Sexyama.
Shields sure does look extremely awkward as if you'd never guess he was a pro fighter.
Let's hope he isn't just a one round fighter like Carwin and BJ and Thatch.Add Paul Semtex Daley and Carlos Condit to that list too. Shields is a lousy striker but is/was still extremely hard to put away. Ray Cooper III is an absolute animal and I'm thrilled to see him on the come-up.
