Understand the Poatan Problem

[marvinparsons]

Who historically at LHW would grapplefuck Poatan? Jones? Struggled to wrassle Reyes/Smith and Poatan is better. Jones would still be the favorite, but we are talking about an MMA goat here.

Chuck? No. Shogun or Machida? No. Rampage? No.

Wrestlers: Couture or Coleman? Not a gimme. Bader? Tito? Glover?

The only absolutely terrible matchup in terms of wrestling would be Cormier, who I think takes him down with ease. Randy and Coleman might, but they also might get shucked and KOd.

It isn't like LHW has been teeming with dominant wrestlers that grapple their way to victory.

Machida was champ and Tito/Rashad didn't bother him at all, meanwhile Poatan is a solid 10-20 lbs bigger naturally than Machida.

Wrestling is not everything, you can say the division has never seen a striking talent like Poatan.

Great idea. Poatan vs Werdum for the interim interim HW belt.
