NPComplete: He will crush Luke Rockhold. Now since Yoel wrestles and if his ground game is good, Yoel is a gunner too. Whitaker however is a different kind of beast. Adesanya fought and beat an Anderson Silver in an epic battle. Silver nor be beans to fight for ring. He finishes fighters in d first round. |

reidkrugger: What are u saying? He couldn't maul Gastelum with almost a foot of height advantage and 8 inches of reach advantage and u are saying he will cruch Rockhold? Lol. Gastelum even had him in the 4th round or did u watch another fight? Unfortunately we haven't seen Adesanya's ground game and considering his history, it isn't likely he is good on the ground. Wait did u just mention Silva? Anderson Silva is 44 and hasn't fought in over 2 years. And u are claiming he beat that Silva? Lol. Don't make me laugh please. |

Elemosho478: The problem with u casuals is that u argue with emotions and not out of any sense or ability to analyze. U just admitted u lack both. I made my analysis. You could counter my views by doing some analysis to show me I am wrong. Instead u resorted to the usual "hater" and "go get a life" line. LMAO. Weak-minded clowns. 3 Likes |

Exactly he represent Nigeria and not New Zealand, there is another Nigeria belt holder from Auchi his name is kumaru he also represent Nigeria quote author=Lifestone post=77526311] Na. I have watched several of his fights, he brings Nigeria flag to his corner[/quote] |

Op, how do u knock out someone twice in the same fight? You should say "knocked him down" twice not knocked him out twice. A knockout means the fight is over so it can't happen twice in a fight. 1 Like |

NPComplete: Fighting has nothing to do with height. Luke lost to Bisping. A shorter opponent. And so did Nate to Connor in their second fight. Silver had a fracture fighting and dat took him away from d ring bcuz he had to heal. while there, he made minced meat of the best fighters in dat division and has beaten the betters of most of dis guys u mentioned. And just so u know, Dana runs d UFC and gets rid of u when he doesn't like ur face or ego. Coming back to Silva, how won't he be ranked 44 as u said when he hasn't been fighting. Active participation increases rankings. For me, style bender has got one of the best accurate punches, hand forms and foot work in d UFC. He doesn't just punch bcuz there's an opening. He punches bcuz he knows he can reach u and get away with it. Adesanya is underated which is good. But he had age, hunger and skill by his side. Bros... Have you seen him punch? 3 Likes |

NPComplete:it's good to see greatness and appreciate. To belittle a guy who has pain his dues is just pure hating Before he faced Silva everyone said he'd get schooled but he beat the old man soundly. Jones is another case entirely as he is light heavyweight. Israel will have to move up in weight( which he can do) . His grappling may not be as good as bones but he is a far better striker than him and he's also faster. Also bones is a drug cheat 1 Like |

NPComplete: My analysis says you should worry more about your future He is not going to stay stagnant and he still have a lot of time to improve, you lot said the same thing before he fight Anderson and he won, you said the same thing before this fight and he won as usual, if you are not tired about predicting his failure you can go ahead 2 Likes |

reidkrugger: Fighting has a lot to do with height. Have u ever heard of "height advantage" and "reach advantage"? The fact that u are denying it makes me laugh. And the height difference between Kevin and Stylebender is far more than that between Bisping and Rockhold. Don't forget that Rockhold beat Bisping the first time too. Of course those advantage are not helpful if u can't use it well against an opponent. But we all know Izzy uses his height and reach advantage well. Just like Jon Jones does. Yes I agree with u, Stylebender has the best striking in the UFC. I don't think anyone comes close. But if he has to face well-rounded fighters that can grapple and are as tall and stronger, I don't think he will do as well. He couldn't even finish short and fat Gastelum or Silva that is 44 years old. Trust me, he will have a very hard time against Romero or Whitaker. 2 Likes |
