I’m a fan he’s doing good at lw but these guys are too big and strong for him. I know he prefers not to fight sucked out but I don’t think he cant compete with the lw elite. Reminds me of Frankie edgar. Little too small. Featherweight is a good option
Nah man he just lost to a superior striker. He just beat Kevin Lee who is huge for 155, I think he’s fine right where he is.
Explain to me what fights have shown that lightweights are too big and too strong for Al?
Sometimes fighters just get beaten by fighters who are a bit better than them. Has nothing to do with a size or weight issue. Its a skill issue. He is a top level lightweight who has both beaten and been beaten by other top lightweights.
Same Ol' Al
He's a front runner. Great hammer, horrible nail. He looked sharp in the first but seemed to not have a game plan. Longo and Serra will come up with some excuses for Al.
Losing to Khabib greatly inflated Al's ranking. He'll settle back to the lower top 10 where he belongs.
Al is fine. 2 killing machines fought, one HAD to lose. That's how it works.
Al is a beast, no shame, at all, in his showing last night.
